GERMANY's NEW REIcHsrAG.
Little Change in Its Status Made by
the Elections.
(From the Chicago POst.)


The returns from the second baIlotings
have not all been made known through
the cable dispatches, but it seems certain
that the next reichstag will not be very
different from it's predecessor. The cleo
tions have produced no great or substan-
tfal changes. and this is hardly surprising
in view of the absence of issues that stir
and divide men There was a gene . II de-
sire TO combat socialism. but except in
the reballots it led to no concerted ac-
ton.
AS far as we can gather, the Centrists.
or Catholics, will be as influential in the
new reichstag as they were in the last
one. They hold the balance of power
and the government can take no stems
without consulting or placating them
The socialists have improved their posi-
ton, though not TO an extent propOrtion-
ate 10 their largely increased poll. They
have gained nearly quarter of a million
voters, yet their representation will be
increased by only eight seats-56 as
against IS. A few days ago there was
much growing and jubilation on the part
of the conservative German press over
alleged disastrous reverses sustained by
the social democracy. but the latter can
be eomplacent il not satisfied. It is true
that in certain industrial towns the So
cialists have been defeated, but as an off,
set they appear to have scored notable
victories in country districts where they
had never shown any strength

THE STORM KINGS DIFFICULTY
Why Part of an independence Day
Program Was Abandoned
(From the Philadelphia Times.}

NTo1n lne fnlIa0elphla Times.
Everything was ready for Professor
King and Squire McMullen to go up to
the Storm King, as usual. But by an
irony a storm, in which the balloon was
not king, but an abject subject broke
and in fifteen minutes all hope of get
ting up was abandoned At o'clock the
heavens seemed to open and rain fell in
perfect torrents The first effect was TO
scatter the crowd which had gathered
around the ropes. This 1t did in exactly
fifteen seconds. Then the storm turned
its attention to the balloon. A wind
sprang up and the big silk Storm King
began to rock gently to and fro in the
breeze. Then its swaying motion turned
into lazy circular one, and the balloon
appeared like a gigantic top In the last
stages of its spinning.
1t began suddenly to look dangerous for
the safety. of the big inflated bag Pro-
fessor King ran out into the beating
pelting rain and seized one of the ropes
which confine the silk bag The balloon
calmly lifted the professor off his feet,
twisted him 1SG degrees of circle and
flung him into the wet grass. The crowd
wet and unhappy from inadequate tree
shelters. jeered and took up courage.
Volunteers cried the professor, and
a doctor and a number of men from the
aeronaut Half seized one side and half
another probably 1900 pounds of men on
each side.
The balloon saw something. funny in
this. With a maliciousness which SEEM
ed intelligent it stopped its rotary mo-
tion and again rocked to and fro When
it bowed to the east it turned every man
on that side under its wet sides, pressing
them to the grass. The ten men clinging
to the west side ropes, were lifted as If
they had been ten feathers. The crowd
roared. They saw people more uncom-
Portable than themselves.
The battle must have lasted an hour.
At times the wind was so violent that the
top of the balloon was carried against
the surrounding trees. But the big ropes
were strong and they held. Gradually
the efforts of the gas-filled monster grew
feebler.Y When it swung to Its side gas
escaped through the bottom. and the
very, violence of the thing proved its
doom. The $4,000 cubic feet of gas grad
ually sunk to almost nothing, and at halt
past 4 o'clock the silk folds were laid on
the ground.

Spiders and Their Ways.

We find as marked differences in hab-
its, tastes and characters among spiders
as among human beings. Some kinds
prefer always living in houses or Gel
lars, not seeming TO care for any fresh
air or out of door exercise Mr.. Jesse
tells of two spiders that lived for 13
years in opposite corners of a drawer
which was used for soap and candles.
Others delight in making burrows in
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 viii become entangled in
the snares they have set. Others dash
about and seize upon every luckless 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 tie bright autumn weather, if we
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

to be enjoying themselves as much az

knocking him senseless by blow from
some blunt instrument, dragged him
head foremost down a long stairway,
his assailants kicking and beating him

assault occurred. is the truth of the

If what Weber says is true the death
Of Finnegan was the result of a
premeditated plan carefully laid
