THE TARANTULA'S GROWTH.
Its Skin Must lie Shed to Allow 1t to In
crease In Size.

Its Skin Must lie Shed to Allow 1t to In
crease In Size.
An event Of moro than ordinary in
terest occurred in my office Yesterday
noon. A large female tarantula Shed
its skin for the second time since it
has been in captivity. Those familiar
with insects, spiders and related crea-
lures are aware that they are incased
by hard, unyielding integument. In
crease of size is permissible only when
the old skin is shed and one that has
been newly formed beneath expands
to the requisite degree. This is pro-
cess constantly occurring in nature,
and ever excites interest in the be-
holder When large spider three
inches long throws off the old integu-
ment 1t Is a thrilling sight.
In the present case, the tarantula had
evidently been feeling unwell for some
days. a condition frequently preceding
this process among insects, and yester-
day morning she was found lying on
her back and apparently dead, but
moved little upon being disturbed.
She lay thus until about 1915, when
the rustling her movements made eX-
cited attention. The old skin had
then ruptured around the thorax in
such manner that the top could be
removed entire, and through this OPEN
ing the giant spider was literally work.
ing out OF her old skin. This was ac-
complished by the aid of the eight legs
and the two leg-like palpi At the
end Of an hour the change had been
effected. The spider lay upon her
back, beside the perfect skin, resting
from the severe eXertion.
This tarantula was unusually large
before she molted, and is now of still
greater size. She came North in
bunch Of bananas about two and a half
years ago, and until last January was
the pet of DR.. j. M. Bigelow. While
under his care one skin was shed, and
is now in my possession. An idea Of
lue luCIedse Ill SIZE dlleHuduI upon
melting may be gained by comparing
the dimensions of the dorsal piece Of
the skin shed about the latter part Of
1896. when under the care Of DR.. Bige-
low, and the one shed yesterday. The
first measures one inch, and the second
measures one and quarter inches.
Therefore the present dorsal piece will
probably be proportionately larger
when fully expanded.

OUR PATENT SYSTEM.
INVOLVES COMPLICATIONS AS
TO NEW TERRITORY.
May Conflict With Original Plans
In the Islands Recently Acquir-
ed-Trademark Matters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The Gov
ernment Patent Commission, which has
been inquiring into needed changes in
the system, expects to submit it's re-
port to Congress about the beginning
of the new year. 1t has practically de-
cided to recommend that applicants for
patents who applied abroad previous to
filing here be given priority here from
the date of application abroad, if ap-
plication is filed within seven months
thereafter. The effect of this is to
antedate the application here, giving
it the date when it was filed in the
foreign country. 1t also. doubtless, will
recommend abolishing caveats.
The trademark matters, however,
present great difficulties. The commits
sion is seeking to proceed as far as
possible, and is anxious to effect a gen.
eral trademark law, to which, however,
a recent Supreme Court decision stands
in the way. The decision held the law
for the general registry of trademarks
to be invalid, and that Congress could
only provide for registering trademarks
for use in foreign, interstate or Indian
commerce. The only trademark now
issued is specifically required to be used
in foreign commerce. There are forty
three States having a trademark reg
istry system, and the commission would
like to have a general law in force, II
by any means possible.
The commission is now considering a
proposition to include in it's scope the
consideration of these matters in the
new territorial acquisitions of the
United States. Whether it is authoriz-
ed to do so is not quite determined, but
if its duties are so extended it opens
up a wide field of labor, involving i'm
portant complications, principally in
the way of a conflict with the original
schemes in the islands acquired. Ha-
waii has a patent law of its own, and
under which up to last year 31S patents
had been issued. Under Spain's pat
ent law. which has applied to all its
colonies. there have been $4,000 pat
ents issued since 1873 and up to last
year. The Spanish patents are subject
to annual taxes to keep them alive. and
probably not one-quarter of them are
now in force. Those patents already
granted, if now in force, it is contend
ed ought to be continued in force for
the periods for which issued, these
terms not being uniform. On this point
it is cited that Congress cannot impair
the validity of contract.
These points being unquestionably
good, considered as contracts, the is
sue is thus raised whether the United
states will grant patents applying to
the United States proper, or to the
whole country as so extended, although
the latter is believed to be the more
feasible course. AS to Cuba, whose ex-
act future status is not settled, the
question is thus rendered the more
puzzling, while the American citizens
who go there will want the same pro-
lection as here. There doubtless will
be an immense amount Of sugar. ag'-
ricultural, pumping and other machin
cry. implements, ETC., taken in there,
and protection for which will be sought.

The unpleasant news from the Indian
frontier, where the Mad Mullah is
again on the warpath, has caused con-
siderable apprehension among the In
dian authorities, though the latest ad-
vices show that his victorious march
has BEEN partly checked by the friendly
Kahn of Robil, who, by a timely move,
has saved the British lines of commu-
nication with the garrison at Chitral,
which the MadI Mullah endeavored to
cut. The fanatical movement, how
ever, has taken a strong hold among
the Swats, and there is a prospect Of
another little frontier war" A little
British force is now held in readiness
for movement to the frontier. The fol-
lowers of the Mullah are. variously esti-
mated to number 5000 to 5000, and
their numbers are growing daily.

Much of the feeling exhibited by the
German press toward the United States
Government was directly traceable to
a denial by the State Department of
just such a claim preferred by Ger
many to be excepted from the opera
tons of the countervailing duty in the

Act. on the ground that other nations
were permitted to send their sugar to
the United States free from this duty,
