Spiders as Aeronauts.

Spiders cannot actually fly, but the
young of many species are expert
aeronauts. When, on some autumn
day, these little adventures prepare to
start, they stand on some high point
of vantage. facing the wind. Then the
tip of the tail is raised, and little spin
nerets emit threads which are caught
and carried by the breeze. These vary
In length with the weight of the spi-
ders and are buoyant enough to bear
their owners aloft for considerable
distance.
The glittering filaments which are
thus spun and ultimately settle on the
ground and bushes are familiar to us
all as "gossamer'' and are produced by
many species of these most interesting
insects.
Some spiders again are expert leap
ers. A beautiful example of this sort
has been found at Sydney, New South
Wales. 1t has a curious flap on either
side of its body, which can be extended
like a kite or parachute. Aided by
this, 1t can readily cover short dis

How Corn Was Ground at One Time.
The water mill is older than the wind
MILL but prehistoric corn-such wheat,
for instance, as Pytheas, the first trav-
eler from civilization to Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account of the absence of sun
was ground in hand mills, as is still
done in the east Quernes, as these
mills are called, are frequently found
in the cyclopean underground dwell
ings of Scotland. Their simplest form
consists of two thin circular stones, the
upper of which is pierced in the center
and revolves on wooden or metal pin
inserted in the lower one. The grinder
dropped the grain into the central hole
with one hand while the other caused
the upper stone to revolve by means of
a stick inserted in a small hole near the
edge.
The righteousness of this operation Is
well illustrated by story told of Co.
lumba. He was studying under St Fin
MAN, and every night on which it fell
to his lot to grind the corn with the
querne he performed his task so quick
ly that his companions enviously as
serted that he had the assistance of an
angel in turning the stone. Wilson
thinks that at this time (the early part
of the sixth century, the querne was
the only mill in use. Large water mills
were introduced in the thirteenth CEN
fury into Scotland, and legal means had
to be employed to render their use COM

The well-gowned woman finds il
necessary to give much though to the
shape and trimmings of her sleeves this
season. In many instances they are

With the simplest dress it is no unus-

A favorite finish for the full puffs that
fall below the elbow is tucks. A pretty
effect is shown on a white crepe de
chine bodice. Horizontal tucks are laid
/ from the shoulder to below the elbow
The sleeve gradually widens from the
top and is quite voluminous where the
tucks cease. The loose material is
gathered into a band at the wrist edged
with pink silk and tiny spray of pink

Morning wraps developed in long
haired zibeline and other materials that
resemble fur are fashionable A natty
design is double breasted with a box

lace points are let in at the bottom and
the hugh sleeves are slashed at the
outer seam to open over panels of lace.
The turnover collar is of heavy lace
trimmed with passementerie and passa-

the front.
For evening wear one sees nothing
hardly except white coats. Whether

Some very pretty tailored dresses for

The approach of the holiday season
