Spiders and Their Ways.

We find as marked differences in hab-
its, tastes and characters among spiders
Ms among human beings. Some kinds
prefer always living in houses or eel
lars, not seeming to care for any fresh
air or out of door exercise. Mr.. jesse
tells OF two spiders that lived for 10
years in opposite corners of u drawer
which was used for soap and candles
Others delight in making burrows i'll
the earth, in dwelling under stones or
behind the loose bark on trees, and 9TH
ers live under water. Many never leave
their webs, but patiently wait hoping
some insect will become entangled in
the snares they have set Others dash
about and seize upon every luclless in
sect that crosses their path. The most
adventurous of all are those that sail
out into the world on one of their own
little threads.
In the bright autumn weather, If wo
observe closely, We may sometimes see
some of our own small spiders ascend
to the tops of trees, fences and other
high objects, rise on their toes turn the
spinners upward, throw out quantity
of silk and sail away. They grasp the
silken thread with their feet and seem
TO be enjoying themselves as much as
the birds and butterflies. Margaret W.
Leighton in Popular Science Monthly.

work OF the boys, as well as themselves
was greatly missed. The larger portion
OF the meetings held have been well
attended, there having been in session

no doubt had tendency to draw some

of the associates oil this cause were well
pleased with the attendance notwith.

indifferent about reporting our success,

made in this state since last conference;

dent, Elder Z. s. Kimball, by his in

burning desire to raise our standard

To the Editor
We are laboring in St Landry parish,
which is located in the southwestern
part OF the state. The principal indus.
tries OF this parish are timber, or, saw.
milling; rice growing, and sugar manu-
featuring.
The numbering industry is the most
extensive, owing to the vast swamps,
covered with dense growth OF timber;
such as cypress, white oak, ash and
gums. This timber is covered with a
long gray moss, which has a tendency 10
make the swamps look dismal aud lone
ly, and indeed they are; or, at least they
seem so TO us as we pass through them;
and inthe dittauce hear the mDurn,ul cry
OF the screech owl, mi gled with the
doeful echo of the timber choppers
The manner in which this timber is got
ten out to the sawmllls is somewhat Il a
novelty 10 US Utouiaus. Instead Of 60
ing into the timber on a wagon, they go
in boat called "sharp.shooter" In
place OF standing on the ground to cut The
mber, they either stand in the sharp
shooter" or, chop a hole in the tree aud
place an Cak plank, called spring
board, IN it, and upon ii! they stand
while chopp ng. Instead Of hauling the
timber TO the mill, tn y fl at it, or, as il
is sometimes called, "rule it," land by
the way. II takes an expert TO stay on
these logs while 4 -ating to the bayou.
There is a stream draining these swamps.
AT this bayou there are a great many
logs whicg are RATED, or hitched to-
gether aud flolted, sometimes for mi es,

lumber.

The moon is really and truly great
planet of mountains, its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations of
curious shapes and Of extraordinary
height We say ''its whole visible sur
face" and hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because the
eye of man has never seen but one side
Of the surface Of the moon. What we
see conyinces us that the little planet is
extremely mountainous, for on the
lend" exposed to orr view there are no
less than 80, peaks, varying in
height from 1000 feet TO miles.
When we consider the fact that this lu-
marian world is only one thirty-second
part as large as the earth we can easily
see why it deserves the title Of the
''planct of great mountains. " There is
peculiar thing about these 10000
moon peaks. Each and every one of
them has n ringlike form, the open end
Of the conical point being of greater or
lesser diameter, according to the height
of the mountain. In low grade tele-
scope these peaks resemble true volca-
noes, but when viewed through high
grade glass it is seen that the depres-
sion in the center Of the queer ring
mountain" ia often so great rs to be be-
low the general level of the surrounding
country. The depth of these depressions
is calculated in curious manner-by
figuring ON the relative shadows they
cast when the sun is shining full upou
them. The diameter of these "ring
mountains" varics greatly, some of the
larger ones being 80, 100 or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through good tele-
scope. st. Louis Republic.

Wired GInss.

As the result of thorough investiga- tion of the heat resisting qualities of wired glass instituted by the Philadel- phia Fire Underwriters association the latter has made report which must be very serviceable to all interested in this unique product. The report declares that such glass can be safely used in skylights and in such situations will stand severe fire and not give way when water is thrown on it. A wooden framing for skylight, covered with tin, all seams lock jointed and with nails hidden, is superior in fire resisting qual- ity to iron framing. Wired glass in wooden sash, covered with tin, all seams lock jointed and nails concealed, can safely be used for windows toward an external exposure and in fire doors to elevator shafts and stairway tow CTS, where it is necessary to light the shafts; in office buildings, hotels, etc, where it is undesirable to have elevator shafts entirely inclosed and dark, wired glass permanently built into a brick or terra cotta shaft, or arranged in a metal covered wood frame, can safely be used, and, again, wired glass plates, securely fastened in standard fire shutters, can safely be used toward an external exposure-in this case, the fact that possible fire in building all the windows of which are protected by fire shutters can much more readily be detected from the out side through the wired glass is impor- tant-New York Sun.
