from the seashore has been invit.
ed by his local admirers to take up
his residence in the Alamo city.
He should do so by all means. AS
courtesies are reciprocal, who
knows but what Mayor Elmendorf
might select him as legitimate snc-
cessor to the Kaiser's crown, and
thus while gracefully discharging
a political obligation, perpetuate a
strictly Business administration.
Quincy should hasten to accept the
invitation.
The color line has been drawn in
Texas politics. But the negroes
themselves, aided by a few whites
intent on pie and pelf, drew it, and
they will have no just grounds for
complaint when they are knocked
off the pearch, as they assuredly
will be.
Since the manifestly wise and
just decision OF Judge Maxey, de-
nying the insolent application of
the sewer contractors to restrain
the city from paying any money
out Of the sewer fund save upon
warrants drawn in their own favor
the opinion prevails that the
thrifty contractors would cheer
fully consent to modify their
equally ridiculous and insolent de-
mand for 100000 or more as com.
pensation for "extras." They are
entitled TO nothing and should re-
ceive nothing until they comply
with the terms Of their contract.

The chairman of the county
democratic executive appears to
have again been lost in the shuttle.
Positively, steps should be taken
to bell him so that he may be
trailed when the exigency, which
is nigh, arrives.
When a man begins the construc-
ton of house he commences with

When Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Pancoast
began the construction of the sew

through different sections of the
city instead of beginning at the

By way of reciprocity, when Mr..

he should insist that the SaSpamco

was done in the San Antonio Job.

The identity In appearance Is certainly
most remarkable. The "cut'' of the coun-
tenanoe Is the same in both. 1t may dis
tress them to hear 1t, but American crowds
and American travellers look very English.
They seem to go to the same hairdresser

The name of Maremm8 Is given 10
large extent Of insalubrious land which
borders the Mediterranean Whether In
salubrious because uncultivated, or uncul-
ttvated because insaluhrious, Is problem
which has not yet been solved Though
both modern science and quickened nation
al enterprise have of late years been applied
to its solution, the results accomplished
have been unconvincing. The Tuscan part
of the Maremma stretches inland nearly to

from Leghorn, 1t extends to the ancient
frontier of the pontifical states, from
whence the same immense tract Of sparsely
cultivated and malarial territory continues
under he name of the Roman Maremma
and Campagna to the gates of Rome
There Is no hard and fast border line be-
tween the healthy and unhealthy land, but
the transformation Is o gradual one, the
villages become rarer, the cultivated land
diminishes, stretches of wood and bog ore
more frequent until we no longer see any
houses by the roadside, but only here and
there In the distance some small gray ham
let perched ON the top of rocky hill, like
roosting falcon musing ON the chase" On
the hillside near such oases some fields, a
few olive trees, and then again begins the
woodland, large forest trees then groves Of
beeches and oaks Topped continually for
firewood, the forest full Of dangers and
alarms, with Its ponds and bogs and laby-
rinths, hiding place for anything from q
ghost to q hrigand-in short, the typical
forest of the Maremma Toward the Medi
terranean coast the hills become less
abrupt, and along the shore and up the
broader valleys which diverge from II

spider. rhs. Catch BirdA

". J. Rainbow, an Australian natural
ist, gives o description of the large bird
entrapping spiders OF his country. Repre-
sentatives Of this genus abound In tropical
and subtropical regions Their webs arc
composed Of two kinds Of silk-one yellow,
exceedingly viscid and elastic, the other
white, dry and somewhat brittle The lat
ter Is used for the framework of the web,
the guys and radii, and the former for tho
concentric rings
These snares are at varied heights, some
times within reach, again 10 TO 12 feet
from the ground, but always In position
exposed to the rays Of the sun The diane
ter is also variable, from about feet up
ward One seen by Giraffe In the Fiji Is
lands constructs web 80 feet In diane
ter. These snares are strong enough to en-
trap small birds In the authors opinion
the web is not set for such game, and the
spider does not feed on her archaeological
victim. In the case where she has been OBJ
served with her fangs In the body Of the
ensnared bird 1t lie probable that 1t is for
the purpose of fastening the death of the
bird in order to prevent It's lnjuring the

the genus nephila are easily tanned AL
though exceedingly voracious, they can
exist for many days without food or water.
