Spider Kept Time to Music.

AT a recent rehearsal Of the Apollo
Male Quartet of Clearwater, Mich. a
large spider came slowly down his
silken thread to about the hight of the
singers shoulders, where he hung sus-
pended for a few minutes, then began
to move up and down in front of the
music rack.
The second tenor, who was leading
the air. soon noticed that the move
nlents of the spider corresponded with
the variations of his voice up and
down the scale, and in perfect time.
They then began a series of exper-
iments and found that the spider would
ascend or descend about foot for
every octave, and though the melody
was carried ever SO lightly, and the
bassos thundered in their heaviest
tones, the insect could not be deceived,
but always followed the leading part
accurately, and with the precision of a
directors baton.
Al kinds of songs We're sung to test
the ability of the little being, and each
time he came out of the conflict snot a
beat behind. At last the four voices
struck an awful discord, and instantly
the spider scurried up his improvised
metronome and disappeared in the
chimney.-St. Paul Globe

San Pedro.

LOS ANGELES, March 9.-Expert
diamond nippers who are probably en-
route from the East to Carson to re-
lieTe the sports of their jewels during
the big fight, remained here long
enough to-day to accumulate 5000
worth of gems from the crowd that
went to San Pedro to celebrate the de-
ciSiOn of the Harbor Board.
During the lunch at Terminal Island
pavilion someone in the crowd started
to jostle, and after it was over General
Z. Bouton discovered that his diamond
stud, valued at 800, was missing. His
announcement of the loss caused other
to feel for their gems, and seven others
discovered that they had also been
robbed. Reese Llewelyn last a stud
