for the outcome of the tragedy. quar-

ern hill and facing 1t obliquely were a
hundred troopers waiting for the appear

The sun was just sinking over the Crazy
mountains 80 miles away, and the bright
costumes of the waiting Indians were set
off in a picture such al was never before
seen on the American continent, while the
CLINT of the gun barrels in the hands Of
the troopers told that 1t was not altogeth-
er a holiday gathering. Suddenly on top
of the northern hill appeared two gayly
be-decked Indians, dressed in fun war
panoply, each riding a fiery horse and
swinging his gun wildly around his head.
For an instant they paused, then, bring
ing their rifles to bear, they dug the spurs
into their horses and with a wild cry
started down the hill. Halfway down
they began the death song and opened
fire. The troopers stood immovable until
the Indians reached the level, when the
order rang out Ready Firel" When the
crack Of rifles was heard one of the In
dams rolled off his horse to the ground.
Almost at the same instant the horse Of
the other Indian fell, but his rider was on
his feet in an instant. He had scarcely ut
tered one defiant cry, however when the
order was again given to fire, and he, too,
dropped. Immediately there rose from the
southern hill the most discordant cries

A preserved specimen of the bird spider
of the tropics, the webs of which are
strong enough to snare small birds, was
shown by Mr.. Ditmars and was inspected

the opportunity. This spiders body is
about two inches and a half long, and
death does not much diminish the ferocity

strength, swiftness and ferocity of the
tiger and the subtlety and deadly bite of

Mr.. Ditmars quoted from McCook, one of
the greatest authorities on the subject the
statement that the spider is a good friend
to the human race and one of the most
useful of the invertebrate phllantropists
making 1t possible for the human race to
live in parts of the world where It would
be driven out by insects but for the SER

natural increase of insect life everywhere,
he said, may be judged of from it's con-
tinual existence, Notwithstanding the foes
that prey upon 1t continually. The enor-
nous destruction of this life may be I'M
derstood by considering the vast number
of spiders and the fact that the existence
of each of them is assurance of a certain
amount of natural prey destroyed and con-
sumed.

In reply to questions, MIR. Ditmars said
he had found by practical experiment that

spiders is to place them in nearly full
