East SkoWhegan.

The past week has been busy one
with farmers, finishing husking their
corn, and doing up their fall blowing
when it did not rain hard.
The National election was an exciting
one all over this vast country, and we
believe the result will be hailed with JOY
and gladness by very large majority of
the 20 million of people in this vast
country.
We are glad that the ringleader of the
gang of thieves who have been commit
ting their depredations in this and other
towns are arrested aud in safe keeping.
Still there are Others At large who are
equally guilty and should be apprehend-
ed At once. That was a new streak of
law just discovered in the trial OF Nelson
that pulling onions in the night time and
taking them away was not stealing.
Well if that Is law, farmers are liable to
lose all their hoed crops. The crime is
nothing but trespass.

FLOTATION OF SPIDERS.


An English Writer Discusses the Subject
and Cites some Instances.
In 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 high
emperature-must be nclosed 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 prlnciple-namely, the me
chanical force of the contiguous atmos-
phere-but air movements, especially on
a small scale, are 50 capricious aud I'M
cOntIollablc that without directive
force the phenomena seem quite mex.
plicable.
In support Of this theory of direct
propelling force Mr.. Barber gives some
of his own observations. Writing one
day with two sheets Of quarto before
him, he saw u 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 about foot from
that on which the creature was run
ming. 1T assembled to the edge and van
ished, bat in a moment it landed upon
the other sheet through midair in Il hor,
izontal direction, and picked UP the
thread Is it advanced. IN this case there
was no air movement to facilitate, nor
any time to throw line upward, which
indeed would not have solved the diff
Guilty. On another occasion, at dinner
party III Kent, four candles were lighted
on the table, when IA thread was seen to
be strung from the tip Of one of the
lighted candles and attached TO another
about "a yard off, and all the four lights
were connected in this way, and THAI
by web drawn quito tight
The only explanation which Mr.. Bar
Der can suggest for 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 hotation of the
line from a fixed point was impossible,
as it involved floating i'll four opposite
directions. The rapidity with which the
initial movements i'll forming web are
made cannot be reconciled with any
theory of simple atmospheric convec-
ton, and prOpu lsiOn aDupars the only
explanation.

SUGAR IN TOBACCO.

Three Kinds Discorered Heretofore I'M
known to Chemists.
"A recent number of the New Bulletin
( English) contains some par iculars of
q very interesting problem, which some
years ago was submitted by the treas
ury to the Kew authoriity y.
The question was: Does natural sugar
occur in tobacce? and in the investiga-
tion of this point some striking facts
have been brough light. The treas
ury authorities were, Of course, chiefly
interested from fiscal point Of view,
the duty on tobacco (other than cigaIs)
being As Cd, except in thecaseof sweet
ened" tobacco, which is charged at
As 10d, but cigarettes made OF the sweet
ened article are moi allowed to be Inn
ported at all. Before this inyestiga-
tion it was generally admitted that to-
bacco did not contain more than trace
of saccharine matter.
On the advice of Prof. Church, Dr..
Hugo Miller was called in, the latter
making thorough examination Of the
question. Commercial samples of
bright Virginia tobacco. undoubtedly
free from adulteration, were found to
contain as much as 15.s per cent. of
saccharine matter. Sun-dried leaves Of
nicotiana tabacum, grown at Kew, con-
tanned 90 per cent, and those of the
same species grown at EWeH railway
station as much as 9 per cent. DR..
Miller finds the saccharine matter to
be OFFICIALLY inactive when tested by the
polariscope. he is Of the opinion that
neither cane sugar nor glucose is pres
emit in the saccharine matter. but that it
is composed Of at least three sugar-like
substances, probably hitherto un-

it is filled with original and practical in
formation adapted expressly to the needs
of farms in>the Northwest. The North
western Agr1culturist cares nothing for
party politics although 1t does give rap
occasionally at calamity howlers. 1t
cares great deal, however, for the adj
vancement of the livestock interests and
the improvement OF farce methods In this
section. It is thoroughly IN touch with
the agricultural Northwest Min
nesota only but also Wisconsin, Iowa,
South Dakota and North Dakota.
Its policy is broad, euterprising and
progressive and the key to its success
lies in the idea of its editor, 2. Y. Collins,
that farming is group of sciences and
that in each department there are spe-
ciallists who have something OF value to
tell the general farmer.
Its departments for the women and
children are bright and entertaining
