-Four Years Getting Wood.

Robert VIM, an old and eccentric
character, died at his home on Hargis
creek, this county. recently. Uncle
Bob" as he was Familiarity called, lived
to bury two wives, and, not wishing
to slight either. on ais dying bed he
asked that his remains be buried by
the side Of his faithful old dog that
had but few days preceded him. The
request was complied with. The death
of Uncle Bob" recalls an incident in
his life that Is decidedly out of the
ordinary. During the opening scenes
of the civil war Uncle Bob" was anx-
ious to join the confederate army. His
wife was opposed to his doing 50 and
used every argument and effort within
her power to prevent it One cold
winter morning, after Uncle Bob" had
abandoned the idea, as Mrs. VIM sup
posed, Of joining the army, she asked
Uncle Bob" to go to the woodward
rekindle the fire. Uncle Bob" start
ed, but instead of gathering wood"
he walked to Mississippi and Joined the
army and for four long years fought
for the cause Of the confederacy. At
the close of the war he returned to the
home he had suddenly deserted. En-
tering by way Of the woodward, he
gathered up an armful Of wood and
entering the room he found his faith
full wife who had continued to remain
at the old home. Walking up to the
fireplace he carelessly threw down his
armful of wood and looking into the
face Of his now dumbfounded wife, he
coolly remarked: Here's your wood"
after which he proceeded to make him
self at home. as Of yore.-Louisyille

Spider Catches Birds

W. ]. Rainbow, an Australian natur-
alist, gives a description of the large
bird-entrapping spiders Of his country.
Representatives of this genus abound
in tropical and subtropical regions
Their webs are composed Of two kinds
of silk; one yellow, exceedingly Viscid
and elastic; the other white, dry, and
somewhat brittle. The latter is used
for the framework OF the web, the guys
s1d radii, and the former for the con-
centric rings. These snares are at
varying heights, sometimes within
reach, again 10 to IL feet from the
ground, but always in a position ex-
posed to the rays OF the sun. The
diameter is also variable, from three
feet upward. One seen by Giraffe in the
Fill islands constructs a web 80 feet in
diameter. These snares are strong
enough to entrap small birds. In the
authors opinion the web is not set for
such game, and the spider does not feed
on her pathological victim. In the
cases where she has been observed with
her fangs in the body of the ensnared
bird it is probable that it il for the
purpose of Fastening the death Of the
bird In order to prevent its injuring the
web in its struggles to escape. Spiders
of the genus Nephila are easily tanned.

can exist for many days without food
or water.-American Naturalist.

The deal is about closed" said Mr..
Easton. THE owners o: the property
have agreed to sell and the English
syndicate has agreed to buy. Now all
that remains to be done is for the &C
countant to verify the figures Of the
chartered accountant whom we en-

terms agreed upon provided that one

cash down, and the balance In one. two

cago Tribune: The experiments that
have been going on in the electrical
laboratory in testing the effect Of the
Roentgen rays upon diphtheria bacilli
all confirm the theory that the germs
may be destroyed by the rays. The
last experiment was made with a live
guinea pig, probably the first expert
ment OF the kind upon a living animal
ever made in this country. 1t was sue
cessful.
DR.. William Sprader, dean of the
electrical department, and Drs. r. z.
Graham and ]. r. Hickman of the de-
partment Of bacteriology Of the Mis-
souri, state university, have been max
Ing these exhaustive experiments and
to-day give out the following official
announcement:
For these experiments the germs
were grown In a bouillon culture two
days old. The culture was placed In q
rubber box and subjected to the rays
for period varying from two to three
hours. Three blood serum tubes were
inoculated from the box after having
been exposed and were placed In an in
cubator, remaining there for five days.
Upon examination two OF the tubes
showed no growth and the other show
ed growth which was barely percep-
tible- A microscopic examination OF
this tube containing the growth and
diphtheria was made. New tubes of
blood serum and bouillon were inocu-
lated from this tube, and so far there
has been no growth whatever.
The most striking and conclusive ex-
pertinent was performed on last Mon
day night. Two guinea pigs, weighing
respectively 30 and 1S5 grammes, were
inoculated with a solid growth of
diphtheria suspended in sterilized dis
titled water. The pig, weighing 1S5
grammes, was exposed to the Roentgen
rays for four hours in a wooden box
three inches wide, four and one-half
inches long, and two and one-fourth
Inches deep, with sheet of rubber In
place OF the top. After seventy-two
hours this pig showed no signs OF dis
tress and is just as lively as he was
before the injection. The pig weighing
30 grammes, which was not exposed
TO the rays. died within twenty-eight
hours after the injection. and the post
mortem showed his death was due to
the injection Of diphtheria. Further in
yestgations are being made on this and
other germs"
