The Spider as a Barometer

The spider is a good example Of the

shortening the rope filaments that sus-
tain the web structure. If the storm
is to be unusually severe or of long du-
ration, the ropes are Strengthened as
well as shortened, the better to resist
the onset of the elements. Not until
pleasant weather is again close at hand
will the ropes be heightened as be-
fore. On the contrary, when you see
the spider running out the slender f,1a-
ments, it is certain that calm. fine
weather has set in, whose duration
may be measured by their elongation
Every twenty-four hours the spider
makes some alteration in his web ;,

made toward evening, just before s,In-
set, a fine, clear night may safely In

CHAPTER VI.

Everything prospered with the fish
boy. He was certainly a waif caught
up and borne alOft on the crest OF
the highest wave of fortune. Among
the scores Of people that he daily met,
not one doubted his identity with
young Fulke Greville; all were unani.
nous in forcing his new rank upon
him. And. more than that, If any one
interested had seriously disputed his
claims to that name and position, and
thrown the matter into chancery, there
would have been 50 many hundred in
disputable witnesses. comprising the
mother sister guardian, teachers,
schoolmates. friends and servants, who
had all known young Fulke Greville
from his infancy. and who would have
now sworn to his person. that any
jury must have been constrained to
bring in Il verdict in his favor.
Or if the fish boy, feeling. himself
aggrievcd by this enforced change of
position. had revolted, and through
any possible next friend" made an APP
peal to the supreme court. the result
must have been similar, and Welby
Dunbar would have been condemned
and sentenced to the name of Fulke
Greville. and the inheritance of several
hundred thousand dollars per annum!
The fish boy was very happy. The
widest flights of his Imagination
could never have scared to such
heights of happiness as he now actu-
ally enjoyed. A few weeks ago his ut
most hopes had been only to obtain
come employment, at which he was
willing to work hard all day, if by so
doing he could have his evenings to de-
vote to study, and such pay as should
keep him in the plaineSt food and
clothing. and leave him 4 few pence to
spend on secondhand books to read.
And now just to think of it! He
found himself in the possession of a
luxurious home and ample means; his
every want supplied, his every wish
anticipated; INDUCED by an affection
ate and doting mother; petted by
beautiful and loving sister; guided and
instructed by loving and accomplished
teachers. And more than all, his love
of knowledge and devotion to books.
which in his humber station would
have been matters of reprOach, re-
Quiring to be apologied for. were now
subjects of the highest merit, receiv-
ing the greatest commentator.
He babe fair to be soon at the head
of his school. His Sundays were all
spent at home With Mrs. Greville and
Lois Howard.
Mrs. Greville began to idolize him;
telling him, every time she saw him,
how much he was improved in every
possible way. in disposition, manners
and appearance, and how happy she
was to see him growing so studious,
and gentlemanly. And often.
in a mistaken penitence, she would
apologize to him for the seeming harsh
ness that she felt persuaded had driv-
oh him from the school.

Modern Venice.

An artist who has just returned from
a long sojourn at Venice reports to the
Boston Transcript that the Queen of
the Adriatic is being atrociously mod
ernized. Some of the beautiful old
stone bridges which are falling to
pieces from age and the effect of the
damp climate have actually been re-
placed by straight iron bridges, fit for
an American railroad! Several old
palaces have had their exquisite carv-
ings covered over with plaster or stuc-
co; the aristocratic families who in
habit them are too poor to repair or re-
store them, and have covered the
crumbling fronts with this stucco.
In the Doge's Palace some of the
stones have actually crumbled away,
and these have been properly replaced
with new stones at considerable ex-
pense to the municipality, but the
owners of private palaces cannot afford
this expense, and so they cover up the
decay as cheaply as possible. The citi-
zens are confronted with the fact that
Venice, on account Of its climate, is
much more subject to decay than
Florence or any other inland or high
lying town. And the city is so poor
that it cannot do what ought to be
done to repair the ravages of time and
the climate. 1t is a great pity; for, If
the city ceases to be so beautiful. lit
will cease to attract the foreigners on
which Venetians mostly lived. 1t will
be a prodigious loss to the artists OF
the world; for, though every nook and
corner of Venice has been painted, it is
as good as an education to go and
paint it all oyer again.

cnuRcH MUSIC IN ROME.
The Opposition to Any Reform IL Very
Strong.

The Opposition to Any Reform 10 Very
Y Strong.
The question of the character OF the
music to be performed In religious ser
vices has again come to the front for
discussion, says the London Standard.
At the recent congresses held at VEN
ice, Milan and other places strong
feeling has been expressed that the
time has come for return to true
church music-that is to say, to the
Gngorian chant and to the compost
lions of Palestrina and his school, The
Congregation of Rites" has several
times revised the rules which regulate
religious services and the music by
which those services are accompanied.
But in spite of all the efforts OF this
body during a considerable period. the
opposition to any reform presented by
the rectors and chapters of the basili-
cas- and churches OF Rome. and, above
all, by the kapellmeisters who are In
fuenced by the musical art OF the de-
cadence, has been so strong that all
the directions of the congregation Of
Rites" have been Of no avail. Some
five years ago writer in the 'Civilta
Cattolica, the famous Jesuit review.
one Father de Santi, who is perfectly
de courant in everything relating to
musical criticism, led vigorous cam
paign against all the ecclesiastical mu-
sic Of Rome, not even excepting the
pope's chapel. He wrote with so much
spirit and in so lively style that the
kapellmeisters of the basi!icas, the or
ganists and the singers. attacked in
their own strongholds, besought the
Intervention Of the superior authority.
They demanded that silence might be
imposed upon disputant so bold as
to suppose that he could raise his
voice against an integral part Of the
ecclesiastical organization of Rome.
which had resisted so many efforts OF
others, Including List, who, in the
time OF Cardinal Antonelli, failed in
all his labors to regenerate the relig-
1ous music in the Roman churches.
Father de Santi was accordingly ex-
PEELED from the Eternal city and the
Civilta Cattolica ceased to write about
music. When, at later period, the
hery Jesuit obtained permission to re-
turn to Rome. to his rooms in the Via
Respetta. It was on the condition that
he should neither write nor dispue up
on musical matters, nor enter the
places where the music of the mass
was being taught or practiced. Now
1t has come to pass that Cardinal
Aloisi Masella, the intolerant project
OF the rites, has been removed to the
pope's chancery, and he is succeeded
by Cardinal Mazzella of the Jesuits.
