nearly 200 of his mates, persisted in the
explosion which followed.
At Shoeburyness some fifteen years
ago Col. Francis Lyon invented a new
kind Of sensitive fuse for big caliber
shells, and invited a number of gun
merry experts to be present at the trials.
On the night prior to the day on which
the experiments were to be made he
locked up a number of the fuses in a
shed in which there were some fowls.
The chickens started scratching, and
the dust flew up and settled on the
threads of the screws of the fuses.
When, next morning, an unfortunate
gunner started to fix one to live shell,
the missile went or, killing the opera

81 T is the very essence Of a presidential
election that some candidate must get
left. Some one must be disappointed.
And in the history of the republic many
great men have sought and lost this COW
eted prize. Three great names stand out
prominently in the list-Cloy, Webster
and Blaine-each the idol Of his party,
each the victim of political scheming.
Aaron Burr, just hundred years ago,
missed the presidency by the narrowest
margin. He was an adept in political
intrigue, with a magnetic personality and
a brilliant mind that won him equal favor
in the eyes Of the voters with Jefferson.
Each received seventy-three votes and
this threw the election into the House OF
Representatives. Thirty-fve ballots were
taken without result
The tederalists were anxious to defeat
jefferson and they gave their support to
Burr until the thirty-sixth ballot. Then,
Burr refused to give pledges required Of
him, their support was withdrawn and
jefferson was chosen. In accordance
with the law of those days Burr became
Vice President. But he was a disap-
pointed man. Following his defeat for
the presidency came the fatal duel with
Hamilton, the Blennerhasset scandal, his
traitorous attempt to divide the country,
his temporary exile and social obscurity.
De Witt Clinton was Mayor of New
York City for several terms, as well as
United States Senator and Governor OF

who have sought the presidency, but
sought in vain. For a score Of years his
name was always uppermOst in the pub
lie mind whenever the Republican party
met in convention. In 1876 the nomina-
ton was almost within his grasp. In
1880 he received a first ballot vote Of
2S4. but he and General Grant, his
strongest rival. had both to step aside for
the compromise candidate, Garfield. In
1884 he was certain of victory, but failed
through the loss of New York State by
the narrow margin of 1.O47 votes.
Among other well-known men who
tried to be President and failed were
Gen. Mcclellan, Gen. Hancock, Benja-
min f. Butler, William ]. Bryan and
Admiral Dewey.

A Costly Comn.

A very beautiful burial casket, and
one about as costly, too, as Is ever
made even in these days of lavish ex-
penditure is one now shown in the
Rarerooms of a big manufacturing con-
Germ in this city. This casket is of
mahogany of a deep. dark red, its col
bring like that of some fine specimen
Of old mahogany furniture. The cor
ners of the casket itself and the cor
ners of the casket lid and the escut-
cheon upon the top of the lid and the
handrails along the sides and upon
the ends of the casket are richly
carved.
The carving upon this casket occu-
pied the entire time of an expert for
nearly four months; there vas paid
out for the carving alone within less
than SIS of $500. In the getting out
and preparing Of the material of which
the casket is made in the cabinet work
upon it, and in the various details OF
its construction there have been en-
ployed upon it, from first to last, half
q dozen or more men, and the total
time occupied in its construction was
seven months.
It Ia an admirable specimen of work
manship, the price Of which is $500.

PROFOUND GRAFT OF SPIDERS.
they Initiate stamens of Flowers to Catch
Butterflies

I Dubt9FhtOSs
"Then there are the spiders that do
sidesteps. They must reason, or some
ancestor must have Seasoned for them
thus, All of our enemies figure that
We will ruin forward. Well, I'll just
fool 'em. I'll take a hop to n side.'
Also when the nephila plumipes, a big
black and yellow person that hangs in
her web in plain sight, sees an evil
disposed bird making for her. what
Toes she do? She vanishes. Run?
Never. She vanishes, l tell you. Stays
where she is, but goes out Of sight.
She shakes her web so violently that

lar spider that spins an irregular web
in similar circumstances swings It's
body in a circle so fast that it cannot
be seen. Orb weavers scatter rubbish
in their webs till they look like old
things that have been up two or
three months, and then they get in
line with the chips and bits of bark
hat they themselves have put there.
The trick of initiating spots on grass
stems, scales on trees, lichens and the
like, Is wonderful. Some spiders have
found it a paying proposition to look
like the stamens and pistils of bright
eolored flowers. There they stand by
the hour with their yellow forelegs
stuck up stiff into the air. A butter
dy comes along and anghts to suck
honey. He never gets away alive. The
resemblance is so close that botanists
are deceived. One kind of a spider
spins a little round patch of white
silk on a leaf. 1t sits in the centre.
The outer edge of it's body is a light
grayish green merging into white. In
the centre of its body is a dark spot.
An entomologist was once quite Curl
ous to know what could attract but
~terfiies to birds droppings. He tried
to pull n away from it. He found
that he had made the same mistake
that that butterfly had. The reason
why it didn't fly away was that the
spider had hold of it, and was suck
ing its blood. Some spiders not only
lock like withered flowers lying on
the ground, but have developed a
perfume like jasmine. Some look

Total eclipses that cross Europe In

loie station to view it from. the dura-
zion or totally there being 3m. Ats. a
very unusual amount for a Euronean
eclipse. The width Of the track is
about 120 miles; the southern limit
runs approximately from Corunna to
Valencia, the northern one from a
little west of santander to somewhat
south OF Tarragona. This eclipse may
also be observed In Labrador the Bal
carlo Isles and Tunis. Passing over
the eclipse of 1907. which is total soon
atter sunrise on the shores of the
caspian, We come to that of 1912.
Th1s belongs to that rather rare class
OF eclipses which are total near the
middle OF the shadow track. but annu-
lar at the beginning and end. The
track enters Portugal near Aveiro and
runs northeast, leaving Spain some u
miles east of Gijon. It then traverses
France, passing very near Paris, and
across Belgium, Germany and Russia.
In Portugal there will be about seven
seconds of totality, in the west of
France a second or two, and further
east the eclipse will be only annular.
THE eclipse of 1914 crosses Nor.
way, Sweden and Russia. The eclipse
OF 1915 ends near the south coast of
Ireland. The track of totality passes
very near to, and may actually inter-
sect, the Island of Corvo in the Azores,
SO that this may be available as an
observing station. If not. it will be
necessary to go to Guadalupe or Ven
ezuela. The eclipse of 1921 is inserted
in the map, though only an annular
one. since it Is the next central eclipse
in the British Isles. The last total
eclipse in the British Isles was in
1924, but there were annular eclipses
in 1886, 1847, 1853. The central line
in 1921 crosses the Island of Lewis,
and onward to the Lofoden Islands.
In 1927 we have the next t~otalit] in
the British Isles. The central line
runs from neal Anglesea to North
Yorkshire, where totality will last
about q seconds. DR.. Hind gives it
as nine seconds, but this seems to
me to be clearly too small. The track
then goes right up the backbone of
Norway and passes out near Vadso,
which was occupied as an eclipse sta
ton in 1896, and may again be occu-
pied, as the duration of totality there
is considerably longer than in south
ern Norway; u weather experiences
in 1896, however, were not very en-
couraging."
