Both Eyes Blown Out.

James Harrington, an employe of the

Lake Ariel, Friday,while digging holes,
by the premature explosion Of a dyna-

the ground and place in 1t a dynamite
cartridge, which explodes and loosens
the ground,
Harrington put in the cartridge, but
it exploded before he could leave the
spot and the flying debris took out
both his eyes.

A WRESTLING SPIDER.
Queer Insect Found by q Massatahu-
sets Man In a Prohibition
District.

Fl. A. Peters, one of the owners Of
the Lashaway dairy farm near Spencer,
Mass, while on his way TO Spencer
lately captured an immense spider OF
unknown species. When Mr.. Peters
first saw the spider, which was max
Ing a bee line over the public highway
for East Brookfeld, he was SO amazed
at the sight that he rubbed both eyes
several times before he could realize
that the monster was reality Then.
hastily grasping an empty glass milk
jar, Peters jumped from the wagon
and was about to make the stranger q
prisoner, when ne was startled by the
distinctly audible whistle emanstibg
from the insect, says q New York ex-
.hange.
Instantly flock Of minute fac
smiles Of the peculiar spider game
rushing from ell directions, claInbsred
up the legs Of the big spider and hid
themselves IN the fuzzy hair on Its
back.
This was more than Peters could
stand, especially as after securing her
young, Mrs Spider assumed defensive
attitude.
Peters thrust the mouth of the Jar
over the whole family of spiders and
made them prisoners. Hundreds have
since viewed the monster and its off,
spring, and all are puzzled.
The body Of the large spider Is ~
inches in length. The body is black
and is supported by eight powerful
legs, each two inches long. The head
is supplied with powerful-looldng jaws
from which two feelers, one-balf inch
In length, protrude. The beady eyes
are jet black.
