The Olneyville tribune. (Providence, R.I.) 1893-189?, 1893-10-14

A visitor at Scranton, Penn, saw
furious fight between woodchuck an
a muskrat on Choke Creek a few day
on the opposite side of which he saw a
woodchuck shaking his thirst near pool
under leaning yellow birch tree. The
woodchuck became alarmed at his ap-
proach, gave whistle and started on a
lively canter for its burrow, few rods
up the bank. At. the same instant a
monster muskrat, which had been nosing
around in the grass and weeds near the
woodchuck's hole, made dash for the
pool under the leaning birch. The
startled animals ran into one another in
their haste TO reach their respective
abiding places, and the collision instant
ly made them forget all fear, caused them
to become as angry as hornets, and set
them to fighting like bulldogs.
Each animal seemed to think that the
other was to blame for running against
it, and, instead of apologizing and trying
to pass one another, they began to bite
and scratch, bristle and squeal angrily
and roll and tumble in the grass,
though they were bound to kill one an
other. The muskrat kept working tn
woodchuck toward the creek, the blood
and fur flew, and at length the wood
chuck broke away, cried enough, and
went limping to its burow. 1t hadn't
taken five steps before the pugnacious
muskrat collared it and made it fight.
The woodchuck sailed into the big rat
with renewed vigor but the latter knew
its business, and in less than three min
utes it caught the woo1chuck by the
throat and dragged it over the bank into
the pool. The lighting animals churned
ths water into foam, but the muskrat
held the woodchuck's head under water
until it was drowned, when it flung the
carcass onto stone and swan out Of
sight under the roots of the birch.

Spider Showers.

Spider showers are worthy of mention.
The spiders are gossamcrs, aud all those
who have read Whites Natural History
OF Selbornc" will call TO mind his descrip-
ton of the showers he observed. One Of
these, he tells us, continued for nearly a
whole day, and the gossamers descended
from q surprising height, for when one
gentleman ascended hill near at hand,
some 800 feet high, he found that the
spiders were dropping from region in
the atmosphere that was still beyond the
reach OF his gaze.
DIR. Martin Lister named this aerial
spider ''the bird" from the facility with
which II can traverse the air, and upon
one occasion, when he observed n shower
of them mt York, he ascended To the top
Of the minister and found that even at
that altitude he was still below their
levcl--that they were descending from
some region above that standpoint.
Darwin, another observer OF spider
showers, describes one which ho saw In
1882, when on board the Beagle, at the
mouth OF the La Plata River, when the
vessel was some sixty miles from land,
and he seems to have been the first TO
notice that each parachute OF gossamcr
carried spider aeronaut, for he not only
observed them arrive on board the ship,
but he also saw them produce new para
chute and on the frail bark launch forth
again ION the bosom Of the palpitating
air."
These goesamer showers arc great mys
teries, and, once seen. cannot very readi-
ly bc forgotten, for the mir on these oc-
casions becomes literally crowded with
the tiny parachutes mentioned, which arc
composed of few threads of almost in
visible gossamer, with a small but lively
spider attached. This may be regarded
as the most beautiful thing in strange
showers. fChambcrs's journal.

Of effort is made to bring 10 justit, the
murderers of Two Swedish missionaries.
In Human and Hope the officials are
engaged in "a systematic persecution of
the men who have leased houses To for
eigners. The unfortunates are imprisoned
and tortured under various pretenses, and
in many cases the tenants have given
up their leases To relieve their unhappy
landlords. In this manner the Alliance
Mission have been obliged to vacate their
premises in Wuchang. the seat of the
Niceroy, though il is twelve years since
he first leased his premises 10 the mis-
sionaries. Moreover. the Governor of
Human has notified the Viceroy that all
foreign missionaries, some forty in num-
Der, must be removed from Wuchang
during the forthcoming examinations
(held in honor of the Empress Dowager's
sixtieth birthday, because he will be
unable to protect them against the vio-
lence of the students, and he therefore
disclaims in advance all responsibility for
what may happen II his advice is not
followed. The Governor is a townsman
and bosom friend of the notorious Chou
Han, who is now busy again issuing his
placards against foreigners and decorat-
ing the walls of Changsha with fresh
edition of the Human Picture Gallery"

were not up 10 the high standard OF

Smoke consists Of minute particles Of
solid or liquid matter suspended in the
air, and it's color depends partly upon the
chemical constitution OF such particles,
but also largely upon their size. Exact
experiment has shown that as the size Of
minute PARTICLES suspended 10 air is
gradually increased they give rise to
colors varying from sky-bluc down
through the whole range OF tho spectral
scale This is the cause OF sunset and
sunrise colors in the sky. Its ef-
fects can also be traced in the case
OF the two kinds OF tobacco smoke,
modified by the murky tints OF
the carbonaccous products. The. smoke
given off from the heated surface OF the
burning tobacco in the bowl OF the pipe
consists OF matter all Of which has been

The Spanish Onion

The large and handsome Spanish
onions, which have been coming to this
city in increasing quantities for the past
half-doZen years, are now cheaper than
they have ever been known here. These
vegetables are grown mainly near Valen-
cia, in Spain, and the first shipments
this year, which came By the way Of En-
gland, were harvested too sarly and were
therefore watery. Being liable 10 quick
decay, they were hurried upon the mar
ket and sold for low prices The first
direct importation was also oH-grade in
quality, and this set the price for the
season very low, so that in many auction
sales the price has barely covered the
freight and duty. to say nothing Of .he
commissions and cost OF packing. The
duty Of 40 cents on bushel of hfty-six
pounds, together with the freight, com
mission, aud cost abroad, brings the
actual value TO the importer about 80
cents a crate laid down, and, therefore,
when prices range from j5 cents 20 81
crate. the trade has been disastrous
one. Together with what has already
arrived and what is expected, the i'm
ports this year will amount 10 1900
crates or about 81. 500 bushels. Attempts
10 raise this Spanish onion in California
and other parts Of the country from seed
purchased in Spain have generally
proved unsuccessful, as the vegetables
when grown here do not differ much
from the ordinary domestic onion. II
seem. that a Castilian climate and soil
are necessary for the production Of this
delightful product. For this reason,
and also because these bulbs do not come
into conflict with home vegetables, q
strong effort 10 now on foot TO have the
duty decreased 90 q more reasonable

They have an exquisite finish and the
contrast between the gold and the steel
10 very rich and pleasing. They are each
about four feet high and are intended as
centre ornaments for parlors. Ii will take
a snug sum to own the pair. Sixty thou
sand dollars will buy them, twenty
thousand dollars being the price for the
first one aud forty thousand dollars the
figure on the other.
Siam has very small pavilion, but /
heard somebody remark it contained more
value to the square foot than any other
nations display. The pavilion itself is
beautiful affair Pagods shaped, il
glitters in gold aud cut glass. Tiny
pieces Of glass about one inch long and
three -eighths of an inch wide are so cut
that five of them make a star. Such stars
are all over the little building and the
uncovered places are gilded. They dis
play beautiful carving on elephants
tusks, magnificent silver work, and that
peculiar ware which they make of papier
machc inlaid with pearl They manifest
a degree Of culture that did not think
existed in Siam Some beautiful needle
work from the art school of Lady Bias
Karawongoeza is shown. l did not
think they were already struggling so
markedly for the arts of European civili-
zation.
The Netherlands have a magnificent
display of ceramics. They have panel
pictures that are simply exquisite.
The Danes have a very notable and
complete exhibit. One of the most in
teresting features they have are relics of
Hans Christian Andersen. With just
pride they glory in the man whose fairy
tales have delighted the children of every
nation.
Unfortunately lack of space forces
the Italian exhibitors into very crowded
quarters. They are placed, like Spain,
under the gallery. and the darkness pre-
vents their wares from being seen to the
best advantage. Undoubtedly they are
tho most artistic people in Europe.
Every time get near their exhibit | am
drawn to it, and cannot 60 on without
stopping to admire. Their statuary is
simply wonderful. They have figures in
all conceivable positions, and in every in
stance so life.like, so exquisite that it is
simply fascinating.
