Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1892-07-15

The miners Of Colorado who have
built cabins on the mountain sides know
what a pest the small, brown wood
spider proves to be. They throw their
webs over your best clothes, cooking
utensils and in every corner where you
can get them in your eyes and mouth.
Not only that, but they viii drop into the
frying pan, water bucket or upon the
table when you are eating. But nature
furnished us aremedy and friend when
she gave US the spider hawk.
The name is given by miners to a
small, steel blue wasp about three
fourths of an inch in length He can
easily be recognized by the quick, ner-
vous stroke of his wings. The wasps build
a nest up among the rafters of your cabin
Of wood pulp or furze from the outer
coating of old dead trees: Then they
are ready for business. Every few min
utes you can see your hawk climbing up
the rafters with a spider, sometimes car
rying one four or five times his own
weight.
Sometimes they get spider so heavy
that they will fall many times before
they succeed in reaching their nest
They never give up, but keep on trying
till they succeed. When the spider is
safely placed in the nest the female
hawk deposits her egg in the dead body.
The hawks lives only in pairs, as far as
my observation goes. They become
rather tame.-Great Divide.

A small boy gave a lesson in natural
history the other day. He brought into
the office a species of lizard popularity
known as the swift" Holding the lit
tie reptile above his head he let it fall
to the floor, with the result that a sec
ton of its tail was broken of. Noticing
that it was minus part of its prehen-
sile organ, the swift, after discovering
the piece Of tail lost, backed slowly up
to it, and placing the stub against the
piece, held it in contact for a few sec
Onds, and then ran swiftly away with
bisa toll gluee together, apparently as

The experiment was repeated several

could doubtless be used successfully in

ETC., together, and we throw out this
suggestion to local surgeons for what It
is worth.-Ontario Observer. =.

Malay Weapons.

The national Malay weapon, the kris.
is said to have been invented by a Java
nese monarch of the Fourteenth cen
fury. It's varieties are said to exceed Il
hundred, and there are in Javahese no
fewer than fifty names for them. It
varies in size, from the two feet wavy
blade of Sulu down to a mere tooth
pick. But the popularity is that the
weapon is never ground, but kept rough
and sawlike in edge, by securing with
lime juice or the juice Of an unripe pine
apple, sometimes mixed with arsensic;
and it Is on this account that kris
wounds are so dangerous.
Old specimens are so eaten away by
this practice that the blade seems
formed from bunch of wires roughly
welded up. Such krises are highly
valued, and some of the ancient ones,
heirlooms Of chiefs, with grotesquely
carved and inlaid hits and sheaths, are
almost unpurchasable. Chambers Jour
