DIR. Davidson, the eminent bacteriolo-
gist, expresses the opinion that many
of the infectious bites attributed to
spiders are not caused by these in
sects. Several naturalists have allowed
themselves to be bitten by the largest
poisonous spiders without serious re-
suit. 1t is doubtless true that. never

susceptible to spider bites, as they are
to bee stings. Some people have died
of collapse half an hour after the re-
ceipt of a bee sting. Many of the cases
of so-called spider bites are thought
by Davidson to be caused by the pirate
bug. The bite of this insect is usually
followed by local cellulitis, with a

him to halt as he was about to enter the

The motion of planet in its orbit is
variable, being quicker or slower. ac-

in moving from the apogee to the peri

moving from the perigee to the apogec
the motion is retarded.

ODDITIES OF ENGLISH VILLAGES.

Nc Two of the Towns Are Alike IN
Any Essential Particular.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township in England is that of Skid
daw, in Cumberland. It contains but
one house, the oceupieT of which is I'M
able to exercise the Briton's privilege
of voting because there is no overseer
to prepare voters list, and no church
or other place of worship or assembly
on which to publish one.
The most remote village in England is
that of REORGANIZATION This truly
rural spot is 301h miles from the near
est railway station. AS contrast tc
this may be mentioned the hamlet OF
Ystrad. about ten miles from Cardiff
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm.
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
A very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley, small village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the
parish two churches are to be seen.
Service is conducted three times
week in each of these churches at the
same hour.
The deepest we'll in England is found
$50 feet below the surface of the earth.
About halfway down this well shaft is a
subway, three miles in length, which
leads to the seacoast.
On the top of the parish church tow
er in Bicknoller, Somersetshire, is a
yew tree, now five feet high, and still
growing in hardy fashion. It is gen
orally believed that the tree owes it's
origin to a seed dropped by bird.
Perhaps the most splendidly deco
rated church in the kingdom is that of
Whitley Court, Worcestershire. 1t is
entirely constructed of white marble,
the pews are chaste4y carved, and the
pulpit is of genuine Carrara marble,
