And then tax the fifth verse. In the
original manuscript it said, plain as day

little daunted on being refused, rave gone
outside the grounds; and have in many
cases obtained space upon which to erect
their monstrosities. These, though out
side the walls, directly overlook the
grounds and give a perfect view of both
sides Of the Seine, on which the EXPOSE

A very remarkable construction which
was submitted to the management about
six weeks ago was that Of a cigar which
was to be built of steel and covered with
4 woode casing. Outside 1t was to have
Q coating of brown stuccO so applied as
to look like a pure Havana The
cigar when completed would stand 700
feet high and would taper at zach end.
From the top an American flag would
wave.
The projectors. a Florida company,
insisted that the idea had a great me-
chanlcal significance, but NJ. Piqrart
and his friends did not think so
The mechanical excellence in the de-
sign consisted Of a spiral staircase which

surely one after the other, made five
revolutions around the cigar, finally ar
irving at a very comfortable resting room
at the very tip of the structure.
Those who have climbed Bunker Hill
will have some idea of the
journey upward. The projectors declar-
ed that they did not expect any one to
make the full trip, but that a healthful
man or woman could make the Quincy
in half a day finishing the ascent about
2 o'clock.
The downward journey could be accom-
plished in an hour or less. Those who
were leisure in their movements and en-
poyed climbing stairs might take until
1 o'clock to reach the top. These people
could come down in two hours. stop
uing to rest at each change of scenery.

Army and NaNr Notes.

Three of the largest shops connected with the Armstrong Whitworth ordi- nance works at Newcastle-on-Tyne were destroyed by fire June Il. The damage is estimated at $1,000,000.
 A cable received from the war de- partmt 1t gives information that the imperial military maneuvers Will take place at Berlin in September. The Am erican military attache has been in yited, as usual to attend, and permis= sion is readily obtainable for other of .feers who may wish to watch the eyo- lutions as spectators. Invitations are given only on the emperor's personal initiative.
 Mir Wyndham, replying to Col Long with respect to the progress made in strengthening the British army, stated that the ultimate esta bfishment aimed at was: Cavalry of the line, 1S,559; horse and field artillery, 2f,143; gar rison artillery, 22,717; foot guards. S.725: infantry of the line, 14S,272.

TARANTulA HAWK.
4 Wasp That Kills and Eats the Female
 TarantuIa.

LOW down on the Rio Grande river. said man from Texas, where the sands are heated almost red hot with the sun, there grow the biggest centipedes, the biggest rattlesnakes and biggest tarantnlas in the world If you can look at one of these taran- tulas when he is pinned fast to board with the natmalist's thin steel pin, and you are sure that he is good and dead and can not spring at you and shoot his poison into you he forms an in teresting subject to study. They are horrible choking, hairy things. with eight legs and eight eyes. Their eol- ors are dark brown and black. The female tarantula is said to be fiekle spouse and 10 have 8 summary way, all her own. of getting rid of her con sort when she is tired of him. She woos and weds all right, assumes the entire care and support of the family The first matrimonial jar she has she turns to and kills her husband. Not content with killing him, she eats him. The female is the larger and the stronger of the two; they are sim ply gigantic for spiders. I have seeu those that measured six inches be- tween the stretch Of their legs. They are the terror of man and beast. But there is one little animal of the insect family that wicked Mrs Tarantula stands in as much dread of as man stands in dread of her. and that is a big wasp that in Texas is known by i the name of the tafautula hawk The tarantula hawk has an exceedingly bad opinion of the tarantula. 1t will fly around over the head of the taran- tala make d lightning like dive down, get a good clutch of the monster spi~ der, fly away home with him. then all the tarant0la hawk family sit down to- 1 sup. The tarantula hawk will not hurt men. On the contrary, t is blessing. and you never hear of q western man harming one of them II is said that these Rio Grande cattle rangers are indebted for the tarantaia hawk to an old New England professor, who. while down in that country in pursuit of his studies as naturalist, was stung by one of these monster spiders and nearly died, and would certainly have died had it not been for the whis- ky flask of his guide In that country where rattlesnakes, tarantulas and centipedes are so hig and so plentiful, no rancher leaves his house without his whisky flask Shortly after the old professor lett that part of the country the rancher received small box of these tarantula hawks with in structions what to do with them. He turned the big wasps loose. they in- creased and multiplied, and now they are holding their own against their enemy, the tarantula. New York Sun.
