a Spiders Instinct.

4 correspondent sends us a remark
able instance of adaptation of instinct
in a trap door spider. Says the writ
er: a friend of mine noticed near
his camp a trap door spider run in
front of him and pop into its hole,
pulling the lid down as it disap-
peared. The lid seemed so neat and
perfect a circle that the man stopped
TO examine it, and found, to his aston
ishment, that it was a siXpence! There
was nothing but silk thread covering
the top of the coin, hut underneath
mud and silk thread were coated on
and shaped convex (as usuaD. The
coin had probably been swept out of
the tent with rubbish" Commenting
on this a contributor 10 Nature says:
"As is well known, the doors of trap
door spiders burrows are typically
made of fiattened pellets of earth
stuck together with silk or other ad-
hesive material. The unique behavior
of the spider in question showed no
little discrimination on her part touch
ing the suitability as TO size, shape and
weight of the object selected to fulfill
the purpose for which the sixpence
was used."-Sydney (Aus.l Bulletin.

Knocked Down by A White Oftlcsr-sOuthern
Justice With A Vsngencs.
.- .ae Houston Texas Independent.

From. .ae Houston Texas Independent
Houston is fast becoming a hot bed
of race prejudice, and the law officers
are largely II not wholly, responsible
forit. There was a time in the history
of this city when justice and the
rights of man irrespective of race,
color or previous condition, were more
rz.-ly administrated and respected
han now, but that time, unhappily be-
longs 10 the past. 1t is a pleasant
memory. however, to know that the
black man was once more generally
receIved on a common level in this
race hating community and that in
the administration of Justice he was
dealt with on the square in common
with his white fellow man. Whether
the present state Of affairs is the mex
crable logic of events or not, IL is a
fact that those clothed with official
authority are doing their utmost to
forever stint ana dwarf the manhood
and wOmauhOOd of Negro citizens Of
Houston.
When white men make murderous
assaults on Negroes on the public
streets, and the Negroes in self de-
tense and with bare fists, knock down
.heir assailants, the police bu.lies
who are very handy with their clubs
Euu up and assist their friends in doing
the Negroes up. For instance, James
Kyle lr. the COlored letter carrier,
vas murderonsly assaulted late
Wednesday evening on Preston ave,
by a white man named Fulton Will
oh -.,lzrf= fha hon
Tailoring company. Williams was
the aggressOr and he was by far the
largest man. He came upon Kyle
and struck him several times on the
head with a piece Of iron. In self de
tense, Kyle knocked Williams down
with his fist and was in the act OF
taking the iron away from Williams,
when suddenly and without warning,
the police sergeant came up and kOCk-
sd Kyle unconscious with his club.
Without inquiring into the nature
of the trouble the officer whose sworn
duty it is to up hold the law, stitted
Justice and Iairplay by beating the
Negro with his club while allowing
the NegrO's white aSSallant to go un-
harmed and untouched. The lnde
pendent has always and now stands
on the side Of the law and order, and
il advises its Negro readers and sup
porters to do the same. II tells then
nevertheless that there are times wher
they must act on their own judgemen
and not entrust themselves to care
and solicitude of executive officers
When they see and know the bias o
the law officers, tits always eXpeCdien
under the circumstance TO act hrs
and think afterwards. In this age o
the world and at this iuncture in the
