THE CHAMELEON SPIDER.
Strange Insect Discovered in Africa by ar
American Traveller.

Strange Insect Discovered in Africa by an
American Traveller.
T. NJ. Grimshaw. gentleman Of
Raleigh. S. c., who has travelled extern
sivcly, has a hobby for collecting
strange insects and bugs. ''Of the
whole assortment" says Mr. Grim
shaw, II think the Chameleon spider
which | got last summer on the coast
of Africa is the most valuable. The
capture of this insect was highly inter
esting to me. One afternoon while
tramping along dusty road / noticed
in the bushes which grew along the
side what appeared to be singular
looking white flower with blue CEN
ter. Stopping to examine it, I discov-
cred to my aStonisment that it was not
a flower at all, but a spiders web, and
that the supposed light blue heart of
the flower was the spider itself, lying
in wait for its prey. The notified
brown legs of the spider were extended
in such a way as to resemble the d.
visions between the petals of flower.
The web itself, very delicately woven
into roSette pattern. was white. and
the threads that suspended it from the
bushes were SO fine as to be ANGST in
visible. The whole thing had the APP
pearanee of being suspended in the
cir upon a stem concealed beneath.
Upon knocking the spider from his
perch into the white gauze net which
] carried, my surprise was greatly in
creased upon seeing my captive in
stantly turn in colors from blue to
white. shook the net, and again the
spider changed color, this time its body
becoming dull greenish brown. As
often as | would shake the net, just so
often would the spider change its
color, and l kept it up until it had as
sumcd about every hue of the rainbow.

THE FIRST MOTION.

to the waters edge, however, death
has more than once followed because
nobody knew the right thing to do and
nodoctor was within quick reach. Here
are few simple rules from the NewYork
| Times that any boy or girl of twelve or
fourteen can understand and which
should be carefully read over and
learned. 1t may mean a life some day,
boys-yours or anothers.
Drowning, You know, is suffocation;
the lungs fill with water and there is
no room for air. SO the first thing is
to turn the body on its face. and then
by rolling it back and forth over any
thing which will lift the chest off the
ground, spill out as much water from
the mouth and nose as possible A
barrel is a good thing, but barrel is
not on every shore. and another boys
back held in the leap-frog position
will do.
Then put the finger down the throat
and try to get out more water. If the
unconscious boy still shows no sign of
breathing, artificial respiration or ini-
tatiOn breathing should be begun. This
is very simple thing to do when you
have once learned how.
Put the boy on his back with couple
of jackets made into roll and put
under him to raise his chest up, with
head hanging over as in the picture
Then kneeling at the head, bring the
boys elbows almost together just be-
low the chest. Press firmly and count
two, then spread out the arms to form
circle, bringing them together again
over his head and count two more.
Back again to the chest, pressing firm
ly, and counting two each time, keep
ing hold of the boys arms all of the
time just below the wrist.
Keep this up constantly till the boy
begins to gasp. One boy can relieve
another, as the motion is tircsomc. but
be careful the next boy begins just
where the other left off, so as net to in
tCrfcre with the movements. Don't be
discouraged if no signs of life appear
after long working. Hours of artificial
breathing have sometimes been passed
before the natural breathing returned.
Of course. this knowledge win only
be needed in cases where the doctor or
other person skillful in reviving the

boat as quickly as they could, but it
was now quite dark and neither dog
nor child could be seen. They heard
faint splashing, however, and pulled
toward the sound. and there was
Bobby with the child in his mouth.
They were both nearly dead when
they were dragged into the boat, and
faithful Bobby :2nk down into the
bottom of it quite out of breath. The
men rowed back to the ship and the
child was given to his mother, who
took him down into her cabin. Bobby
went too. He would not stir from his
side, but licked the boys little cold
hands and feet till warmth came back

fallen asleep Bobby lay down and
slept too.
You may be sure that Bobby was the
hero of the ship after this. Every one
petted and made much Of him, but it
did not hinder them from playing a
very cruel and thoughtleSs trick. and
one which was very nearly the death
of the poor animal. When the ship
reached the cape the child and his par
ents went ashore in boat, and Bobby
was held back on the ship to see what
he would do. The poor dog was nearly
frantic. lie struggled and fought, but
they would not let him 60 until small
flag was held up as signal. Then
they loosed him, and Bobby dashed
over the side and swan as fast as he
could after the boat. He had got about
half the distance, when they heard him
give loud, shrill howl of distress.
They saw a fash of white in the water.
A shark was following the dog, and
there seemed no hope of saving him
from the sharks cruel teeth.
The child screamed: "Oh, save poor
Bobby! Save dear Bobby His father
had gun with him and the boat
waited till the shark came in range.
Then he fired and killed it and Bobby
was saved. They dragged the dog into
the boat. He was nearly lifelcss with
fright and hard swimming, and the
sailors on board the ship and the men
in the boat shouted, and every one
cheered Bobby Constitution.

sailors.
Everything went on well until they
came near the Cape of Good Hope.
Then one day about sunset the wind
rose and the ship began to roll violent

Suddenly the ship gave tremendous

Grass or hay fed to COWS in milk
cannot return its full manurial value
to the soil, as part is used up in pro-
ducing the milk. There is also loss
when fed to any growing or working
animals, but the manure made from
feeding a ton of hay, if worked into
the soil, may be worth moze for a crop
than if the hay were left 20 rot on the
surface. The manure, especially the
liquid portions, would act quickly,
while the hay would decay slowly and
perhaps in part be blown away upon
other fields or waste places.

NERVE ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING.
How a Scotch Doctor Engaged a Lad to
Assist Him In Surgery.

Assist Him III Surgery.
DIR. McTavish, of Edinburgh, was
something of ventriloquist, and it
befell that he wanted lad to assist in
the surgery, who must necessarily be
of strong nerves. He received several
applications, and when telling a lad
what the duties were, in order to test
his nerves he would say, while point
ing to grinning skeleton standing up
sight in corner: Part of your work
would be to feed the skeleton there,
and while you are here you may as
well have try to do So"
A few lads would consent to a trial,
and received a basin of hot Cruel and
spoon. While they We're pouring the
hot mess into the skull the doctor
would throw his voice so as to make it
appear to proceed from the jaws of the
bony customer, and gurgle out 'B-r-r-
gr-h- nh. that's hot.
This was too much, and without eX-
bolted. The doctor began to despair of
ever getting suitable helpmate until
a small boy came, and was given the
cruel and spoon.
After the first spoonful the skeleton
appeared to say, Gr-r-run-rb r. that's
hot
Shoveling in the scalding cruel as
fast as ever, the lad raped the skull
and impatiently retorted: 'Well, blow
it, carn't yer, We ould bony?"
The doctor sat down in his chair and
fairly roared, but when he came to he en-
gagged the lad on the spot.-N. Y WcTld.
