ANIMAL AEIRONAUTS.
Gnats and Spiders That Make Balloon
AscensiOns.

The ordinary California buzzard, and
the singular ravens Of Santa Catalina
Island, often give marvellous exhibit
lions of soaring or rising into the air
without moving their wings, and when
it is remembered that their Bodies are
reduced to a minimum of weight, and
that even the bones are filed with air,
it IS almost scientifically and literally
true that they are living balloons. AS
a stroller who had descended the bank
by little trail, crouched low in the
shadow of a wild lilac, he saw against
the dark green bank of the opposite
canyon a cobweb afoat; then another,
drifting down the aerial channel on the
wind. Others followed-a procession
of webs was passing; some were long
and formed of a single thread of silk;
others had a delicate mass OF fabric
attached. Presently one of them came
so near that he put out his hand and
caught it.
1t was perfect balloon, and the
aeronaut-a small spider-sat com
placent1y on it's basket, fluffy mass OF
web half an inch in length, light as a
feather, and supported by a long thread
which reached away, undulating and
curving upward. Scores of these aero
nauts passed by, drifting UP the little
canyon, borne a1oft by the upward cur
rent of air. The stroller noticed a
number of spiders on the leaves and
branches in singular attitudes, and
then it occurred to him that here was
a spider migration, and that instead of
walking or crawling away, the insects
were going, like Andree, by balloon.
More on the leaves of the Wild lilac
were preparing for the journey across
the chasm, forming, building and
launching their balloons. A spider
that had been actively climbing UP a
branch of neighboring oak now stood
on an outer leaf and prepared to make
it's balloon. 1t had a wonderful ar
rangement of spinnerets in which the
balloon-making material, which is also
employed to construct nests and traps,
is stored.
Some of the spiders have an addi-
tional spinning organ and a comb-like
implement upon the hind legs, by
which they comb out the silk, making
a tangle of fine webs Thus they are
we'll prepared to make cables for bal
looms, guy ropes, net, and, by the aid
of the comb, fluffy platform web.
Some of the spiders made little plat
forms of fluffy web as they went;
others merely chung to the thread; but
in one way or Inc other scores of them
crossed the canyons and travelled
through the air; aeronauts in all the
name implies.

AGUINALDO's RISE.

His career contains a reasonable
number of contradictions. Tins hie
hrst act in connection with the re-
Volutlon was to rebuke and threaten
the rebel leaders in the next town for
the cruel slaughter of the natives 1ova1
TO Spain. The next day he compelled

THE KATIPUNAN.

The rich natives who had become
Masons in Spain formed Masonic
lodges when they returned to Manila.
Their history is preserved by those
writer's who find in Masonry the kew
OF all iniquities. There is even an
awful tale of a female lodge in opera
ton in Manila Doubtless these
lodges were more or less given to
political intrigue, as in other coun-
tries where Masonry is under the ban
OF authority and religion, but they had
no definite political programme. In
1892, rich and intellectual natives re-
turning from Spain organized the LIZA
Filipino, to promote educational and
Industrial progress with a view TO
national regeneration and ultimate
liberation This association did not
long survive repressive measures, and
It's influence was captured by a rival.
the Katipunan, which was conducted by
the ignorant and obscure for the same
aVoWed purposes as the Liga Filipino.
Its crude ritual enforced the drawing
OF blood from the arm for use in sign
ing the rolls. This pledge of brother
hood is based on notions current
throughout the primitive world. Magel-
Ian and Legaspi had mingled blood and
wine to drink pledges or alliance with
Filipino chiefs and tribes. The Japan
csc drop blood into the seal of sacred
pledges. Between these rites lay the
form of the Katipunan, which has
been denounced as cannibalistic nv
every Spanish chronicler. Thous-
ands have been imprisoned and hun
dreds shot because their arms bore
the scar of initiation.
The growth of the Katipunan order
was rapid. Tens of thousands were
added to its rolls during the three
years preceding the outbreaks ar-

The magistrate paused for minute,
apparently expecting that Scott would
withdraw the complaint against Will

81 am taking the position that you
would want me to take if you were the
prisoner, am I not?" the magistrate
asked Scott.
Scott replied that he was.
''You are a member of a church, are
you not?" the magistrate followed up.
Scott replied that, although he had
not attended regularly of late, he was
a member of a church.
ID am not" the magistrate added.

There was still no desire upon the
part of Scott to withdraw his COM

matter and has decided that the law
should take it's course" he said.
"There is nothing else against the
boy, is there?" the magistrate wanted
to know.
Scott replied that there was not;
that Wilson had come to them from
the Young Mems Christian association

II will pay the amount of his specu-

Scott would not assent to this prop
osition.
The magistrate then asked that the
president of the company be brought
before him. This was agreed to by
Scott, who promised to bring the
president in the afternoon.
Wilson was held as a prisoner until
that time.
