The Spiders
X " ~ Web.

The spider is the original telegraph
lineman. IndeedS he is something
more. After his lines are stretched,
he establishes. central" to which he
runs az soon as any sort of vibration
tells him that prey is entangled any
where In his web. Once at central, he
listens minute, then having gathered
the direction glides away to weave
sall further netting of silken web
about the luckless wasp or fly that has
fallen into his clutches. "He" would
more properly be written "she.' AS
IN case Of so many insects the female
spider is ever SO much bigger, more
powerful and more resourceful than
the male. In substance spider web is
nearly identical with silk. But the
sp1nners of it are far to wise to reel
1T up into cocoons, which may be plum
!dered by men to feed the desire of the
eyes, and the pride of life. Web spin
ming is very wonderful work. The
workers indeed deserve high rank as
civil engineers, and often deal with
knotty problems in ways bespeaking
almost human intelligence, as for in
stance when they spin loose threads
so deity and with such nice calcula-
ton of wind force that the loose ends
are carried exactly to the chosen spot,
often "a couple of yards away, and
there anchor themselves of their own
motion. It is thus the fairy cables
which net trees and boughs, and
stretch across all summer paths, are
set in place. They are invisible save
where the full sun glints upon them,
or else when misty morning strings
them with dewdrops. None the less
they hold firm, and serve as aerial pas
sageways along which the spiders run
to and fro. safely and swiftly. Or
else they serve as guys to brace the
main web. In spinning the spider
shows architectural genius to match
her engineering skill. First she sur
veys a site, then stretches across it
a strong thread. She is not particu-
lar about having this first thread very
taut-all that can be managed later.
She spins another thread from the end
of this diagonally to another point,
whence she goes to third anchorage,
a fourth. even a fifth. Now she has
a clear central Enclosed at irregular an
giles. The inclosing threads have been
spun of pure silk. The next thing is
to go over them with viscid exuda-
ton which will make whatever touch
es them stick. When that is done she
spins the web proper, running from
side to side, with thread trailing be-

IN CEMENT PLANT.
Another Big Institution Secured

of securing money for the cement
plant. Anyone wishing to secure
an interest in the new plant, which
will be commenced in about thirty
days, can learn more about the
proposition by comforting with
him.
Already Sl47,0oo have been se-
cured and the greater part of the
amount has been subscribed by
local people,
The new concern which will be
known as the Ideal Portland
Cement company, has purchased
section l6, in township 10, range
6S west, from the state, paying a
sum more than $1,000 for the
grounds.
This will prove better source
of investment than anything that
has been offered to the people of
Florence, as the demand for ce
ment, properly finished, is ever on
the increase.
The new company intends manu-
featuring everything conceivable
that can be made from this
commodity and will have the SELL
ing price so low that it can be used
in constructing sidewalks at cost
of eight cents per square foot, in
cluding the cost of labor in laying
it.

would be worth $l0,000.000 He

Maclay's Case Settled.

Washington. Dec. 25-Secretary Long
has discharged Edgar Staunton Mac
lay from his position as skilled la
borer in the Brooklyn navy yard, Mr..
Maclay having refused to resign when
requested to do so. Mr. Maclay is au-
thor of a naval history, and in its last
volume sharply criticized Admiral
Schley and denounced him as a caitiff,
poltroon and coward.
Secretary Longs action was taken
by direction of the president and fol
lowed a conference between the pres
ident and the secretary, who took to
the White house with him letter
from Maclay in response to the re-
quest for his resignation sent by the
secretary last Saturday. In this let
ter Maclay submitted that he could
NOT be removed or be compelled to re-
sign without definite charges being
made against him and without having
an opportunity to answer those
charges. Although the civil service
rules give employees Of the public ser
vice an opportunity of answering
charges that may be preferred against
them, the president exercised his pre-
negatives in the present instance and
directed Maclay's removal, it being
held that the latter was aware, unof
ficially if not officially, of the reasons
which actuated the executive in taking
the course determined upon.

its father. The writer was then placed
in charge of the child and sent with it
to Gallipolis, where there was a

the history OF the world and has

he said, is not born of possession, but
