snidera and Alcohol.

A student Of natural history had been
in the habit Of immersing for preserva-
ton his different specimens Of spiders
and ants in bottles Of alcohol. He saw
that they struggled for a few minutes
but he thought that sensation was soon
extinguished and that they were soon
free from suffering.
On one occasion he wished to pre-
serve a large female spider and twen-
ty-four of her young ones that he had
captured. He put the mother into a
bottle of alcohol and saw that after a
few moments she folded up her legs
upon her body and was at rest. lie
then put into the bottle the young ones.
who. Of course, manifested acute pain.
What was his surprise to see the
mother arouse herself from her lethar-
gy, dart around and gather her young
ones to her bosom, fold her legs over
them, again relapse into insensibihty
until at last death came to her re'ief
and the limbs, no longer controlled by
this maternal instinct, released their
grasp and became dead! lie has never
since repeated the experiment, but has
applied chloroform before immersion.

paid me 500 a column for the humor-

Literary Bulletin.

Literary Bulletin.
Mr.. John Gilmer Speed, the writer of the
article, Tips and Commissions" In the
June number of Lippincott's Magazine,
has been contributor to American and
English periodicals for some twenty years.
Like most American writer's, he served his
apprenticeship in a newspaper office. He
was a writer for the New York World
when the brilliant William Henry Hurlbert
was editor-in-chief and Schuyler, Alden,
Brownelly, Williams and Lanigan were
members of what Montgomery Schuyler
called the most expensive and delightful
club in New York. The salaries paid to
World writer's at that time were very in
adequate, and Schuyler said that 1.-The dues
TO the club were what the writer's did not
get" But ii was a good training school,
and pretty nearly all the men who served
in il have achieved some measure of dis
tincton. Mr. Speed joined the World staff
shortly after leaving college, going directly
to New York from his native Kentucky,
where his family is one of note. His
mother was a daughter of George Keats,
the brother of the poet. And Mr.. Speed 5
most important work probably is his
Life, Letters and Poems of John Keats"
No one has made IL so clear as Mr.. Speed
that John Keats was a most manly and
courageous person-strenuous even in his
manliness and just the opposite OF what
the ScOffng Byron conceived.
