FoR countless generations spiders
they have practiced the art of sailing
through the air on tiny parachutes
which they make from woven strands
Of gossamer. Now, however, the tables
have been turned, and instead of weav-
ing parachutes for themselves the poor
spiders are set to spin ropes for human
aeronauts. This novel idea has been
put into operation at Chalais- Meudon,
near Paris, where a spider factory for
the special manufacture of balloon
ropes for the military aeronautic sec

WHEN the senate met on the first
Monday Of December dts membership
was complete for the first time in a
number of years. The death of Sen.
ator Morrill, makes another break in
the list, and there are some people who
argue from this fact that it is unlucky
for the senate to have it's list of mem
bership filed. They claim that the
record of the past shows that whenever
there has been full senate death has
followed shortly afterward. This fact,
however, will not probably prevent a
general scramble for Senator Morrill's
shoes.
