SPIDER CROSSING A STREAM.
Throws Out Threads of Web Which Adhere to What They Touch,
 Forming Bridges

The stream that now intercept ed Araneina's path was So narrow that the lower branches of the trees reached to within two CT three feet of each other across it; but. as she was unable to swim. she might as well have thought of crossing the Atlantic so far as trayersing the Wa ter itself was concerned. says a writer in Pearson's Magazine.
 Right below her, in a shallow pool close to the shore, still another of Araneina's $ cousins, water spider had built domed residence beneath the surface. to which she rose oeca- sionally to seize waterfy or other insect, or to breathe, carrying down again air bubbles in the fur which covered her body. She had Spun a thimble of silk and festooned it to the stem of water plant. and into this thimble she had carried the air bubbles. which had gradually dis placed the water and filled the whole chamber. Here she lived quite dry and comfortable. and was making preparations for rearing family
 Araneina, however. wasted no time in envy of this relatives acGaire- ments either. She nas creature af resource. Nothing daunted bv the brook. she let herself lightly down from the wall and laboriouslv climbed one of the trees at the verge of the stream, going out to the ex- treme end of limb that protected over the water. The air was almost perfectly still. and the little spider rose mp on her four hindmoet legs and lifted the first two and her feel CTS to ascertain in what direction any slight current of air might be setting. Now she emitted from her spinnerets q very light thread. which stTeamed out to the length of two or three feet. floating on an almost imperceptible breadth of wind one of the phenomena that led some nat uralists to believe that the spider shoots out her web against the air. This thread moving very slowly. seemed to he feeling for mooripc place. and 1t was, after several min utes. lifted mp until its gummed end touched the leaf of q branch higher over the water.
 The moment the gossamer cable touched this leaf it stuck to it. and Araneina, on the alert. pulled at il to see if it held. Finding that she was able to draw it taut. she ran across it and held the more advan- ta2eons position. Throwing out an other thread that lodged on longer branch, she found herself at the end of d limb. whence she was able +o east line To the leaf of a tree on the opposite side of the brook. where she at last reached terra frma.

Bot h Gen Smith. in command of the Unit ed States forces in the island of Sa- mar. and Gueyarra have agreed to an armlstiee 10 facilitate the collection of Guevarra's men. with their rifles. when the formal surrender will be made. The arms will be paid in at the fort.
 Gen. smith cables that Guevarra has 4oo rifles, and that Gueyarra guarantees the absolute peacefulness of his men.
 Gen. Chaffee is greatly pleased with what he considers as closing of the active insurrection. The resist ance in Batangas and Laguna prov inces practically is over. There are daily surrenderS there of men and guns. The insurgents have been completely starved into submission by Gen. Bells aggressive tactics in preventing any exterior aid from reaching them.
 Some surprise is expressed at the number of rifles to be turned in by the men under Guevarra. as it was thought there were but 200 in Samar.

2O.Stamp Mill for Tonopah.

The Grass Valley Union says: A
20-stamp modern quartz mill is soon
to be erected at Tonopah, to mill the
large quantity of ore now on the
dumps there. Some weli-known Ne
vada City miners are to figure in the
enterprise. Assurance was given by
the company that no competition
would arise by any other mill start
ing up. 49,
Calculations have been made that
the mill will be kept busy night and
day for two years. The cost of haul
ing and shipping the ore now on the
dumps would be ten times more than
the cost of placing mill on the
ground. The persons who will build
the mill are Frank Golden, William
Waters, William Tamblyn and Owen
Dougherty. This 4wilEadd materially
to the profits these gentlemen have
already made.

A Serious Misstatement.

The Virginia Chronicle says that
the Nevada Reduction works is turn
ing out a bar of bullion every day
that is worth $3.50. 1t comes from
Tonopah ore.
AS a matter of fact the Dayton
mill is turning out over So, 900 per
day or about $4,000 per month.
While the above item originally ap-
peared in the Virginia Chronicle, it
would never have been seen by more
than half a dozen people, except for
the fact that it was copied in other
papers. Such misstatements are to
be deplored. The press OF Nevada
is continually harpiag that Nevada
is unjustly treated by the outside
world. And vet they are the first to
spring and circulate damaging fab
rication about enc of the very few
Nevada institutions that have shown
their ability to compete with outside
rivals.
