Resurrection of Dorcas

Iaryest Dog I'm the World,

that Nero, owned by Wayne Bailey OF
Rutland, is the largest canine in the
world. He weighs nearly 800 pounds

tip to tip he measures six feet fivel

being introduced many years ago, in a.

NEW KIND OF FLY.
Spider, Fooled by Tuning Fork Danced
on 1t.

An astonished, but apparently salts
fed spider, was one upon which gen.
tleman recently made an experiment.
The result Of his investigations is told
in Public Opinion. While watching
some spiders one day, it occurred to
him to try what effect the sound Of a
tuning fork would have upon them.
He had a strong suspicion that they
Selecting a large, fat spider that had
long been feasting on flies, he sounded
the fork and touched thread of the
spiders web. The owner was at one
edge of his web. and the thread Sc
lected was on the other side. Over his
wonderful telephone wires the buzzing
sound was conveyed to the watching
spider, but from his position he could
not tell along which particular line the
sound was travelling. He ran to the
center of the web in hot haste. and
felt all round until he touched the
thread against the other end OF which
the fork was sounding. Then, taking
another thread along with him as a
precautionary measure, he ran out to
the fork and sprang upon 1t. At this
point he found out his mistake. He
retreated for short distance. and
stopped to survey this new buzzing
creature which should have been fly,
but was strangely unlike any insect
he had ever seen. At length, appar-
emily convinced that the object at the
outer edge of his web was more suit
able for amusement than for an article
Of diet, he got on 1t again and danced
with pleasure. II was evident that the
sound Of the fork was music to him.
