Spider Webs and Acoustics.

There is hope for the spider. Hither-
20 he has been eyilly regarded as
predatory parasite, which tolls not,
though he spins. His tolls and his cas-
ties in the air have been rudely breach
ed by the long broom of the house
maid. But he may yet come into his
own, for DR.. laval suggests that the
gossamer tissues with which this artist
among insect craftsmen hangs our CELL
ings may have acoustic virtues. Speak
ing recently at the opening sitting Of
the Paris Academy Of Medicine in its
new hall (Which is acoustically def
cient), he told story of public hall
in England which was noted for its
acoustic properties until in an unhappy
moment the ceiling was given spring
cleaning and a clean sweep made of all
the spiders webs and. with them. Of
the halls good name. The doctor does
not suggest installations of spiders
webs, but thinks it might be good
thing to hang cotton threads over the
auditorium Tapestries hung behind
all the openings on to the rostrum ~
his hail were found greatly to enhance
the acoustic effect. -

in the course OF the day that the
strongest banks and capitalists were
buying stocks at various points in the
list for the purpose of supporting
prices and soothing the fears which
were threatening to run into panic.
Formal denials were made that any
agreement had been entered into to
this end, but IL is certain that there
were meetings and discussions Monday
night between the capitalists concern
ed which must have developed the con-
sensus of opinion as TO the proper ac-
tion TO be taken. on Wednesday again

Coupled with the uninterrupted fall in
the United States steel securities the
surmise was formed that the financial

bought land from Mr.. Z. A. Benson at
$6.75 an acre, but being unable to meet

1T is estimated that Mr.. Benson's prohts
from land deals in 1885. 1886 and 1887
amounted to S112,0 900. At one time there
were eight newspapers in the county and
now there is one. On the whole, this sec
