or SPIDERS.
An English writer discusses the subject

An English Writer Discusses the Subject
and Cites some Instances.
Ia an interesting communication to
knowledge on Spiders" the Rev.
Samuel Barber discusses at some length
the phenomenon Of the ~flotation line,
and its method Of attachment, which is
the foundation of the spiders web. Is
it not evident, asks the reverend gentle
man, that air-and probably at a high
temperature-must be inclosed within
the meshes of the substance forming the
line when it passes from the ~spinnerets
into the atmosphere? The creature with
this substance lifts it into the air. 1t
has been usual to explain the ascent by
the kite principle-namely, the me-
chanical force Of the contiguous atmos-
phere-but aiE movements, especially ON
a small scale, are so capricious and IN
c~ontrollable that without a directive
force the phenomena seem quite mex.
plicable.
In support Of this theory Of a direct
propelling force Mr.. Barber gives some
of his own observations. Writing one
day with two sheets Of quarto before
him, he saw a small spider on the pa
per, and III order to test its power of
passing through the air he held one of
the sheets OF PAPER abort Il foot from
that on which the creature Was run
ming. 1t assembled 10 the edge and van
ished, but in IA moment it landed upon
the other sheet Arough midair III "a hor-
izontal direction, and picked up the
thread as ii advanced. In this case there
was 10 air movement to facilitate, nor
any time to throw a line upward. which
indeed would not have solved the diff
Guilty. On another OCCASION, at a dinner
party in Kent, four candles were lighted
on the table, when a thread was seen TO
be strung from the tip of Gae Of the
lighted candles and attached TO another
about "a yard of, and all the four lights
were connected i'll this way, and that
by a web drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr.. Bar
Der can suggest Tor this remarkable oc-
currence is that the spinner was sus-
pended at first by a vertical line from
above and thus swayed itself to and fro
from tip to tip of the candles. 1t was
certain the spider could not have as
cended from the table, and it was equal
ly certain that aerial iotation of the
line from a fixed point was impossible,
as it involved floating in four opposite
directions. The rapidity with which the
initial movements in forming a web are
made cannot be reconciled with any
theory of a simple atmospheric convec-
ton, and propulsion appears the only
explanation.

E OF THE FLAG.
Hawsifs Star Would Make Ole Glory
Shine In Symmetry.

HawH1IS star "OulG MAKE OiL UtOry
Shine In Symmetry.
The Al stars now in the field of the
American flag present a very jagged APP
pearance. There does not seem to be
any way to arrange them in equal rows.
All sorts Of forms and arrangements
have been adopted by fiagmakers. Per-
haps some uniform plan Of placing the
stars would be settled upon if it were
not that every n expects the number
will shortly be increased.
No change can be made, however, un-
til 1896, as the law requires that addi-
tional stars shall be added only on the
Fourth of July succeeding the admis-
sion Of new states. In all probability
Utah and New Mexico will be admitted
next winter, which win Increase the
stars in the field to 40. But even then
there will be almost the same irregu-
larity, though the field viii be more
nearly filed up and will appear less
jagged than now.
F~orty-eight stars could be arranged
SO as TO present a perfectly regular APP
pearance, and it is not improbable that
that number may be reached before long
Oklahoma, a booming territory, is ask
ing admission, and Arizona has long
had ~pretensions to statehood.
With the admission of those four o.
ganized territories the national domain
will be exhausted unless the Indian
country is to be absorbed or admitted as
an Indian state. There is, Of course,
Alaska, but that region can hardly be
considered as a possible state. 1t might
be added to our extreme northwestern
state, or even TO California, as there is
~ constitutional obstacle to this.
An ideal number of stars for arrange
ment in the field of the flag would be
az. Up, down and diagonally there
would be rows of seven, the mystic
number.
1t is quite possible that there may be
40 states before the end of the century
The civilized Indians in the Indian Ts.
ritory may ask and obtain admission.
or the American colonies in the He.
waiian Islands may come in. Il is trus
that they are now maintaining AN indie.
pendent republic, but they constantly

passengers instead of crowding the

POSITIVELY INSULTING.

h Hint Given to n Seventh Daughter of
n Seventh Daughter.
A lawyer who was engaged in settling
up the affairs of an estate was some
what worried over the loss of certain
letters and papers.
The deceased had been a careless per-
son, and he had mislaid several docu-
M6ents that were of Importance to his
heirs. Having been called away from
this earth ON a hasty summons, he had
not given the lawyer any instructions
beforehand.
The lawyer had a helpful friend who
believed in c~lairvoyancy and second
sight. This friend went to a woman
who was the seventh daughter of a sew.
enth daughter, and who could read the
stars Mt sight. and told her of the law
yers search for the papers.
The c~lairvoyant or fortune teller, or
whatever she may have beet. went to
see the lawyer.
The lawyer was skeptical. / really
believe / can find these papers for you, I"
said she. IF you care TO employ me /
shall at least endeavor to find them. A
few weeks ago / found a lost will for a
family On the north side"
"You really think you can find these
papers?"
II am quite sure of it."
"You go ahead and find them, and
I'LL pay You literally
but / must receive every assistapce
from you and the relatives Of the de-
parted. / must be taken to his home and
