SPIDER IN A OWING BELL.
A Curious insect Which Spends Much Of
Its Time Under Water.

A Curious insect Which Spends Much OF
Its Time Under Water.
There is, it appears, a small spider, such
as may be called the diving spider, al
though rather rare Like all it's kin, it is
an air breathing creature and dives below
the surface Of ponds and spends large
part Of it's life under water. 1t manages
to do thus much in the same way that a
man in diving bell is able to live and
work for considerable time at the bot
tom of the sea. It surrounds the whole
under part Of it's body, where it's breathing
organs are, with bubble of air, and, in
fased in this crystalline bell, it keeps the
water out and is able to breathe freely.
Exposed to the attacks Of many enemies
above water, it seeks to escape from them
by making hiding place for itself at tbs
bottom of the pond. This it does by draw
ing together the tops of some of the weeda
growing there with a few threads which IL
spins, SO as to make a little bower. It
then ascends to the surface and brings
down bubble of air with it, part of which
it squeezes out and leaves in the inside of
the bower, whose stems, meeting over it,
prevent it from getting out of its place and
rising to the top, as air bubbles always do
when disturbed or released.
The spider then, with the part Of the
bubble which it has kept to itself, ascends
to the surface second time and fetches
down another bubble of air, part of which
it secures in the same fashion, and with
the remaining part ascends to the top to
bring down some more air. 1t repeats
this curious proceeding until within the
bower it has succeeded in forming bub-
BILE of air as big as plum, concealed and
kept in its plnce by the silken meshes OF
the Weeds like the network OF small
balloon.
Thus the spider, in the same way that a
mason carries stones and lime to his build
ing carries down bells of air from the sur
face to build for itself crystal palace,
whose clear, transparent dome and walls,
thin as the finest film, are yet sufficiently
strong to keep out the great body of water
and to enable the creature to live at the
bottom Of the pond as easily as If it were
ON dry land. In this luminous nest IL
lays it's eggs and rears its young in perfect
security and when the air within threat
ems to be exhausted it is renewed from
time to time by the visits of the creature
to the surface of the pond. -Brooklyr

One Man For Whom Death by Drowning
Had No Tcrrors.


II can only recall one experience in
which may be said to have faced death,
said L. Il. Bryan. 'sThat was during voy-
age across the Atlantic several years ago.
We had been out two or three days and
had been having come pretty rough wealth
or. 1t eliminate; mo night in a terrific
storm. The waves rose mountain high,
and our ship was tossed about like cork.
A portion of the upper deck was carried
away, and some of the saloon partitions
were stove in. The noise made by the
waves as they dashed against the sides OF
the vessel sounded like the booming OF
cannon, and many of the passengers
crouched in their cabins, waiting in NOR
tai terror and expecting every moment to
feel the ship sinking. was confined to
my cabin by illness, but as had been as
sured by the captain that there was no
danger did not share the fear of my fell
low passengers. However, had the storm
continued in its fury or had the boat been
less stanch we would in all probability
have been food for fishes or have had to
rely on the meager support of the small
boats. A fellow passenger evidently had
sublime faith in the captains ability to
pull her through or was exceedingly indif-
ferent to his fate. In the midst of the up
roar caused by the dashing waves, the
breaking of ti1nbers and the outories Of
the passengers he lay peacefully in his
cabin, sound asleep. He was an inveterate
snorer and during the lulls the music of
his nasal organ could be heard with reas-
surfing regularity. His wife rushed in the
cabin, crying, Lucien, oh, Lucien, the
vessel is sinkingl'
s'Lucien turned over, partially awoke
and murmurcd: Sinking, are WEI (Snore.

of the situation treasured her more than
anything else could have done. Chicago

A BIT OF ROMANCE.
A Fruit Girl Who Became the Wife of an
Ohio Legislator.

Ohio Legislator.
An interesting and romantic bit of truth
can be told concerning the early life of the
wife of one Of Ohios most gifted legisla-
tors. Twenty years ago in small Ohio
town nestled among the hills of the Hook
ing valley lived little girl of years, with
: black eyes, short, curly hair, clear brunette
skin and known by the appropriate name,
!. Gypsy. The men who were commercial
travellers in those days who were frequent
ly along the road will remember Gypsy as
she swung herself on the car steps as the
train pulled in, with a blue coat and cap
and large basket of fruit and confec-
tionery on her arm. She would pass from
coach to coach, disposing of her wares
She rode to and from the depot in the
great bus or on passing drays and would
make frequent sales en- route. Gypsy was
a general favorite both with the citizens
on the train and with the travelling public
The little girl was the main support of the
family, as both the father and brother
were addicted to drink. At the age of IA
Gypsy realized she could not well continue
the work she had SO long and successfully
engaged in. The operators and depot en-
ployees were greatly interested in the
child, and a generous, well to do, elderly
man rendered her as a loan sum sufii-
cient to meet necessary expenses while she
studied telegraphy. The offer was accept
ed. Later she went to Columbus and ac-
cepted position as operator, and it was
here the legislator met her, admired, wooed
and won her. Her husband was elected to
second term as representative and proved
an active, valuable member of the house.
His wife was always admired and loved
She was always bright and yivacious. Her
many friends were gratifed that her lines
should have fallen in such pleasant places,
as she SO justly deserved they should

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Galley Slave.

"The Galley Slave. received stronger
presentation last evening than that of
the night previous. The same strong
features were noticeable that were OBJ
served then, and those that were rather
weak then were strengthened last night.

nection with 1882" at the Garden. Thea
tire, New York. Roster and Bial follow
ing within week or two Both series
created a furore. Since then several
of the Boston theatres have presented
them, +, and they still continue to be a
great attraction. Their novelty never
wears off, for the variety that can be
given is almost endless. Portland's first
view of them will be obtained during

Davy Jones.
Speaking of the opera of Davy Jones"
which will be given at City Hall Fri
day, Saturday and saturday matinee
the Bath Times says of It's production in
that city:
AT last Bath has had lyric production
equal. in every detail, to the same thing
on metropolitan boards. Indeed, in some
respects, "Davy JONES'" as seen and
heard last night at the Columbia Thea
tire, distinctly excelled the Boston Mu-
scum production of the same opera. The
cast was, with one or two important ex-
captions, exactly the same, but as a
scenic representation the opera was a
decided improvement over the museum
presentation. For the stage setting was
new and more elaborate and the cos
tunes were also new and handsome"

Never Dedicated.

The monument concentrating the
surrender of Burgoyne to Gates and Schuy-
Ter at Saratoga, which stands in a beauti-
full location at SohuyJerville, N. Y, has
never been formally dedicated. Congress
has never seen fit to make the necessary
appropriation for the expenses of the dedi-
cation, and as the monument association
has no money the ceremony has been post
poned. The monument stands on hill
top overlooking the Hudson and is state

Elephants In Africa.

The elephant Of Africa is still a toler-
ably abundant animal. Its numbers,
though doubtless diminished by more than
one-half within this century, are probably
to be counted by the hundred thousand.
Nevertheless in less than 100 years the
field which is occupied has been greatly
reduced, and between the ivory hunter and
the sportsman, armed with guns OF ever
increasing deadliness, it will certainly not
require another century of free shooting to
annihilate the African species. -Philadel-

The Annexation Sentiment Is Rap
idly Gaining Ground.
MoRGAN's REPORT WILL BE ADOPTED.
An Interview With Crosby ;. Noyes, the
Editor OF the Washington star-The
American Public Are I'm Favor OF the
Provisional Government of Hawaii.

Among the through passengers on
the Oceanic was Crosby s. Noyes, the
editor of the Washington Evening
Star. -dr. Noyes is accompanied by
his wife and daughter, Miss Myra
Noyes, S. III. Kaufman, his business
partner, with Mrs. Kaufman and
Miss Louise Kaufman, and Mr.. W.
Thompson and daughter, also OF
Washington. The party is on its way
| to Yokohama, whence they will pro-
coed along the China coast to Hong
kong. They will not return via Homo
lulu, as they expect to take one of the
Canadian Pacific steamers to Van
couver.
Mr.. Noyes, it will be remembered,
visited Honolulu about four years ago,
and the knowledge of Hawaiian az
fairs obtained at that time has been
of great use to him in his vigorous
campaign against the policy of the
Cleveland administration. He was
seen Yesterday by representative OF
the ADVERTISER, and talked very
freely on Hawaii. He thinks there is
no doubt about the adoption OF the
Senate Committees report. 1.-The
whole tenor of it is i'm favor OF annexa-
ton" he added, "and it will carry
much more weight, moral and other
| wise than the House resolution. An
nexatiou sentiment is constantly
growing in the Sen tie, and the events
of the past year have done great
deal to increase it."
Mr.. Moves declared that the mean
ing of the House resolution was the
same as that put upon 1T by this pa
per. 1t does not contemplate any fur
Their interference in Hawaiian affairs.
Speaking of the public sentiment in
the United States, Mr.. Noyes stated
that it was overwhelmingly in favor
of the Provisional Government, par
ticularly the moral and religious sem
timent.
"What do you think Mr.. Cleve-
lands next step will be?" asked the
scribe.
"WeIl, I don't give any credence to

Mr.. Noyes stated that the view in
