Spiders Web Silk.

1t would appear from all accounts
that M. Chacot's enterprise Of the man.
ufacture of spiders web silk is to be
pursued on large scale, q factory in
Paris having been taken for the purpose.
Here the spiders will be kept and work
ed at regular hours, and when one of
them is used up he will be fed and help.
ed back to condition again, while an
other will take his place on the bobbin.
An expert, fully acquainted with the
habits Of the insect, will be in control
Of the spider department of the factory,
the care of them, feeding, housing, etc.
In obtaining the requisite supply, IL
the latter exceeds what is necessary for
the industry, experiments will be made
with view to ascertaining which of
the different varieties produces the finest
quality Of silk, and in this way those
not favored with q fine web will be
weeded out. Trials will likewise be
made with different diets in order To
determine whether or not it is possible
to train the spider to give forth web
that is an improvement on the ordinary
product, the expectation being that
perseverance in this respect will result
IN securing quality Of silk hitherto
unsurpassed.

THE OLD CLERK.
A Pathetic Picture Too Frequently Pre-
scented In the Business World.

A Pathetic Picture Too Frequently Pre-
scented In the Business World.
He is familiar figure in almost ev-
cry business house-the old clerk.
White haired, thin, with clothes that
are always of decent black and scrupu-
lousy brushed, he has sat behind the
same desk or stood behind the same
counter for dear knows how many
years, growing thinner and older and
MUSTER as the time went by. Some
times we meet him in the early morn
ing going down to Office or store, walk
ing the same route he has trod for 90 or
30 years with a regularity so perfect
that the very policeman on the beat
might set his watch by his movements.
Often, late at night, when we are GO
ing home from the theater we see him
through the iron grated window, still
bending over his ledger, for he works
slowly nowadays and must work over
time to make up his accounts. His eyes
glasses, his hands are losing their trick
Of deft penmanship and his brain its
swiftness. He does not understand it,
but the fly boys all about him, young
enough to be his sons, rush through
their tasks and are out and gone while
he is still laboring over his. Slowly but
surely it is being borne in on him that
he cannot compete with them.
In the managers Office he is already
becoming a problem. Customers have
begun to complain of his slowness. A
man, not Intentionally cruel, called out
that he wanted somebody who was alive
to wait on him; not that old fossil. A
woman complained that he had not
matched q sample and asked why they
kept blind people. The old clerk heard
them, and it sounded like the knell Of
his own foreboding thoughts He knows
that the time is coming when he must
go. He has seen it happen before with
others. First he will be retired to some
other department, with less work and
less pay. They will remember for q
time the many years Of faithful service
in which he has seen the firm grow from
small beginnings to present wealth.
Then after q time they will forget
even that, and one day when he has
been slower than usual or some mis-.
take has passed unnoticed by his dim
eyes they will send for him to come to
the presidents room, and he will be
told that they think it best to put boy
in that department-somebody who is
young and quick and can get about
swiftly. Sometimes they give him "a

THE SHIPS RUDDER.
Its Two Parts and tho Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.

It's Two Parts and tho Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.
The rudder of wooden ship is com
posed of the stalk and the backing,
which are so joined together as to form
in effect single piece. The complete
rudder is coppered, to protect it from
worms, and then, besides being practi.
cally all in one piece, it has that ap.
pearance also.
The stalk is the part to which are at
tached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rudder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternpost. The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship, and to
its head is bolted cap to which are at.
tached the ropes by means of which the
rudder is controlled. The backing is the
blade part of the rudder.
BY far the greater strain comes on
the stalk, and the greatest strain Of all
comes on the head of the stalk, the
rudder head. where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, well seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine
The stalk is OF single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed
of the dimensions of small oak,
something that a man can pin his faith
to, If he can have faith in any wood,
while the backing or blade is, like
many modern wooden masts, built up.
1t would be difficult il not impossible
to find trees that would yield planks
big enough for the purpose in single
piece, and the built up backing, made
Of pieces of selected wood, can easily be
made of ample strength to Withstand
any strain that will be brought upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of tremendous blow from
a wave upon the rudder, or, under the
repeated strains OF long use, the head
may split, and so make the stalk use
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with new stalk. A suitable stick
is selected and worked down to the
proper size and form, and very probably
the old backing is attached to it. The
life Of rudder stalk would probably
be ~ to IA years. The backing might
last as long as the ship. New York

PARRlEO A CHALLENGE.
How n Clever Young Lawyer Got Out Of
Fighting q Duel.


How n Clever Young Lawyer Got Out OF
Fighting q Duel.
A good story is told of young law
yer in this city. One of his first cases
was Is claim against creole gentleman,
who agreed to pay cerSin amount
each month. The first of th6iirst month
after the agreement came and went, the
creole gentleman forgetting to remit.
The young lawyer waited several days.
and then wrote letter. 1t had one vir-
tue-it was emphatic. 1t was not so
polite as it was emphatic, however, and
within an hour of its delivery to the
creole gentleman two Of his friends call
ed upon the young lawyer with mess
age, which, freely translated, meant
"You have the privilege of naming the
weapons.
For moment the young lawyer was
genuinely alarmed. He had heard that
the creole gentleman was dead shot
and equally fatal with the sword. He
wanted to avoid trouble, but did not
feel that the circumstances justified him
in pleading professional privilege when
he had virtually called man beat.
Then there came to his mind that he
had somewhere read that a gentleman
could not grant duel to any one who
owed him money, and he haughtily said
so to his callers. .
They instantly withdrew. An hour
passed. 1t was an hour Of anguish to
the young lawyer. Then there came
again the cards of the two friends of
the offended creole gentleman. A min
ute later they were in the lawyers
office, and he had written out a receipt
for the full amount of the claim against
the creole gentleman.
"And now, sir" said the chief Sec
ond of the creole gentleman to the young
lawyer "what is your answer to our
principals demand?"
"My answer, gentlemen, is this: l
formed the hasty conclusion that your
principal did not intend to pay what
considered a just debt. and l so ex-
pressed myself. He has paid the debt.

Judgment Of him as o gentleman, and l
beg to assure him, through you, that

The Arcadiau.

The following taken from Boston
paper will be OF interest and explain
many matters regarding the slump in
Area ian stock:
The recent sharp decline in Arcadian-
the new Standard Oil copper venture
has called out more or less comment and
questioning. Some people who knew
very little about this project until after
it had been launched, have been condemn
ing and criticlslng il severely ever since
it was listed. The chief point OF their
antagonism seems TO be that the people
who entered upon the project arranged
all its details, secured the property and
assumed all the risks, secured their stock
at too small figure and that the ad
vance in the price OF the same has given
IT value altogether out OF proportion
to its intrinsic worth. This is the same
old story that Is told whenever any ne W
venture is made. 1t is the usual com.
plant that comes from those who are
always counted among the chronic croak.
ers and who find fault because an enter.
prise succeeds beyond their estimate oil
it's deserved success.
Whatever may be said by way OF cri
ticism against Standard Oil methods. il
Is none the less an indisputable fact that
this great combination OF capital never
enters upon project in small way and
that it never undertakes the execution oil
plans without carrying them to sue
cessful contamination. Allowing that
the actual amount OF property held by
the Arcadian ompany and the develop.
ment work done thereon does not
represent anything like the present mar.
ket value OF the stock, it is at the same
time to be remembered that the prestige
oil the Standard Oil name and backing
count for something. Investors and
spectators certainly go regard these
things and the most OF them are ready
to pay for them. Arcadian was not
offered for public subscription. There
was no reason or necessity for it's being
offered. And yet the public, unsolicited,
and without any blowing OF horns, want
ed IL and were even willing to pay big
prices Tor it before it was listed. The
value that they placed upon il may have
been largely fictitious, but certainly it IL
more so than that quoted for many
other securities that might be named.
The street has always had a practice OF
discounting future good things and II
has been doing something OF this with
Arcadian. 1t believes that the property
is all right-a belief that is based largely
on the fact that the Standard Oil people
after careful Investigation. has taken
hold OF it-and it believes that It will
fully realize the most sanguine expecta
