The Dalrymple Curse.

In reference to the supposed curse
pronounced on the descendants Of the
first Earl of Stair. unhappily notorious
for his connection with the massacre of
Glencoe, q Scottish correspondent in
forms us that the actual words Of the
original curse are still extant, in the
words (and terrifying words they are)
of Gaelic poem written by Jean Mac
donald, the sole survivor of a large
family that periShed in the massacre.
The last three lines run thus: May
fear and terror haunt their pillows!
May their wives ever prove barren.
And my thousand curses attend them.
A startling comment on this maledic-
ton is that the second. third. fourth,
sixth, seventh and eighth Earls Of
Stair all died without issue-a circum-
stance probably unique in the annals
of the peerage. The family Of the
first (the Glencoe) earl became entirely
extinct in 1S40, and the succession
passed to the descendants or his next
brother, Sir James Dalrymple, from
whom came down, of course, the much
respected peer just deceased.-London

PhysicaI Fitness in tho Navy.

Now that machinery has to large
extent taken the place of muscular
power in the Navy, it is more difficult
for the men to keep physically fit In
the old days of sailing vessels this was
an easy matter, says Engineering, but
all commanders did not, on the super
session of these, at once recognize the
necessity of replacing the sail exer-
cises by some other system Of physical
training. Men out of condition in
warm climates get "livery," with the
result that there is 'back talk" to the
petty officers. One commander that we
have heard of recognized that cases Of
this kind were largely physical. and
used to make the punishment fit the
crime by assuring the culprit that he
did not mean to treat the matter as
service olfense, as he saw the trouble
arose merely from want of condition,
and would thereupon order the recalci-
trant seaman an additional dose OF
physical exercises. which, while not
nominally a punishment. was In prac-
tice q very effective one, and the humor
Of the idea appealed to the crew. spe-
cial attention, adds Engineering. is now
being direct to the necessity Of keeping
the men in condition.

A FOLDING BOAT.
Convenient Arrangement. For
Prospectors and Pleasure
Seekers. -. -. -.

In pleasure expeditions. and partic-
ularly prospecting and exploring jour-
neys undertaken in new country, the
problem of transportable boats or
canoes is a vital and essential one. Un-
der these conditions the minimum
bulkiness of luggage is very. important
and the weight scarcely Less so. In
recently patented design of folding
boat suitable for such use an appar-
entity strong, durable. convenient and
compact article has been secured,
which is neither complicated nor un-
reasonably expensive to provide. The
shell or hull is formed Of any suitable
impervious material, such as coated
canvas or skin. as may be cheapest,
depending on the section Of country
where it is built. The floor, which
gives rigidity and reinforces the thin.
flexible shell, is formed in two separ-
ate pieces, each Of which has two
hinged members. When not in place
in the boat the floor pieces fold into
ompact fat, rectangular form, the
hinged members beng short. triangu-

In this position the spider may remain 7

In this position the spider may remain
by the half hour scarcely moving ex'
cept to lower it's weighted leg for a
brief interval from time to time. pre-
sumably to rest it. Should the spider
remain in this attitude for ehirty or
forty minutes the verdant observer
may be astonished to see the ball care
fully transferred to the spiders mouth
and disappear forthwith. I have tried
20 find a reason for this action, and
think one may be found in the impaired
v;scidity O. the globule due to expos
ure. as this, transferred to piece Of
glass, seems to show deterioration at
:he end of an hour. Should the ball be
swallowed a new one is made. usually
within q few minutes, and hung out
@: was the other.
If now the observer is to be rewarded
he will see. by the light Of the moon,
4 large moth approaching. flying slow
ly along as though searching for some
thing. AS the marked victim draws
nearer the spider gathers itself for a
supreme effort. The ball-supportins
leg points straight down. The body
swings about, If necessary. to assume
a favorable position with reference to
the moth. AS the insect comes within
the carefully measured limit the spider
draws back the bolas supporting leg
and with q pendulum-like movement
swings it rapidly forward in the direc-
ton Of the moth. The ball is directed
with almost unerring aim and finds
lodgment on some portion of the VIC
tim. In nearly every instance 1T
strikes a wing, a part to which it Is
probably particularly directed. Its vic.
lent contact with that rapidly moving
member insures a wide and firm at
tachment.
The moth, finding itself fast. futters
violently in an attempt to free itself,
but the assailant drops quickly down
from it's trapeze and sinks its fangs
into a vital part. In its descent it fol-
lows along the bolas line, but is sup
ported by a new thread which it spins
as it goes-an admirable provision
against fall. By reason Of the poison
injected the moth is soon paraiyzed,
aeter which it Is carefully enswathed
in bands Of silk.
Some effort has been made to learn
what means the spider employs to
bring it's prey within reach. Whether
it is some agreeable odor emitted by

After His ScalD.

The man who goes out Of town to
save few miserly pennies is in the
same low unbusiness-like pit with the
moneyed inebriate who cuts q price be-
low the legitimate and regular cost to
get job.
We have seen tumble bugs" roll
ball Of effete filth up little hill just
because it was built that way; that's
what the bug was created for. The
price cutter and the beggar for the low
illegitimate price who goes out of the
city to save cent, are not business
men; they are unfortunate larvae Of
the species that are just big enough to

ways In the same place, curled up be-
Meath O leaf, limb, or fence rail. For
This reason it Is almost impossible to
ind it until 1t reaches maturity. when
Its conspicuous egg cocoons tell Of its
proximity. These. three to five in
uumber, are hung within a few inches
Of one another, fully exposed to the
sun. They are made one at time at
intervals of ten or fifteen days. At
nightfall the spider crawls out to one
pf the outermost branchlets and there
engages in a most wonderful operation
The branchlet selected is always one
that retains a clear space Of at least
two or three inches below 1t when de-
pressed by the spiders weight. A few
short threads are first placed 1rregu-
larly about the extreme tip Of the
branchlet and along its under side for
, distance of several inches. while ad-
ditional threads are carried out to ad-
Iacent branches to lend stability to
the part.
The spider now hangs back downward
By its legs to the lower threads stretched
along the under side of the branchlet.
Attaching q new thread to one Of the
others near one end. 1t crawls along
the horizontally inclined threads be-
low the branchlet, drawing out the ne "
thread the while from its spinning or
gan to the length of about two inches.
The thread naturally falls below the
others, the spider taking care that 1t
shall remain free from ENHANCEMENT.
The spider with its newly drawn
thread still attached, now exudes very
small quantity Of viscid matter upon
the thread at its juncture with the
spinnerets. No other p@rt Of this
thread bears any viscid matter, nor Is
any subsequently added.
Pressing the tips Of its hind legs
firmly upon the thread it pushes each
leg backward, alternately. allowing
the thread to slip between the short
stiff hairs which clothe them. With
each extension a small quantity. Of
viscid matter is pushed outward ano
away from the abdomen as far as the
leg will reach. At the end Of about
twenty seconds. during which time
each leg is extended eight or ten times
there results a gIobule averaging abou'
3-32 inch In diameter.
This finished. the spider undertakes
TO release itself by severing the line
between its body and the globule. OBJ
viously to release the ball suddenly
fastened as it Is to nearly horizontal
line, would be to allow an oscillation
which might readily result in some sor
of ENHANCEMENT and the consequent
destruction of the pendulum. To guarC
against such an occurrence the spidel
first lengthens the line by playing i

it not for Germany's support that re-

played the role of protector of "the

seems to be better able now than at
any time previously to carry on thesn-
surgent movement, and the condition
Of sentiment in Turkey and in Bulgar-
la is such as usually precedes actual
hostilities but a very short time.
The mountains Of Macedonia are full

ting under arms corps after corps, and
already the army in the field has
grown to such huge proportions that
the statesmen of Bulgaria see in it a
menace to the liberty Of their coun-
try, and are apparently in momentary
expectation that the imperial troops
will cross the Bulgarian frontier. If
this should happen it is difficult to see
how Russia could avoid actively inter-
vening in behalf Of Bulgaria, for which
she is in a measure responsible, and.
once the confagration is started. who
can tell where it will stop? All this
may be brought about by the little in
surgent bands in the Macedonian
mountains. aided and backed up by
the Macedonian committee.

ly as a human might perform like
operation, save that legs were used
in the place Of arms. the foot being
we'll fitted to grasp and hold thread.
The ball having been carefully low
cred until its supporting line hangs
vertically, or nearly so, the thread
running to the spider is severed by a
dexterous movement of the clawed
foot, the free end losing itself in the
globule. AS soon as the thread is cut
the spider turns about and approach.
Ing the pendulum thread seizes it from
above with its legs. In this act the
performer hangs by two or more of
the legs of one side to the horizontally
inclined thread to which the pendulum
thread Is attached.
Reaching we'll down with one Of its
long, arm-ike forelegs. it grasps the
pendulum thread between the claws
with which the leg is tipped. about
half an inch above the ball. By few

limbs the upper part Of the thread is
quickly passed under one Of the short
palps or mouth appendages from which
the thread continues to its point Of at
tachment to the main line, the upper
portion more often remaining slack.
The two forelegs extend horizontally
to their full length like the shafts of
a wagon. save that one is above the
other.

were in the vicinity of Vladivostock.
He surmised that the Russians will oc.

Didn't Care For Such Fare.

Before Judge Bittenger Mrs. Vincent
Strasbaugh, Of Salem avenue and King
street, told story, the substance Of
which was that her husband. while en-
deavoring to put her out of the way.
had fed her on glass. putting it into
her bread and forcing a twelve-year-
old daughter to put some in the coffee.
At other times the husband would
scratch his wife with a penknife and
pieces Of glass.
Coffee placed on the table had Pc
culiar taste, as did also the milk, and
Mrs. Strasbaugh was often sick, and
her physician ordered her always to
have at hand a solution of alum and
molasses as an emetic.
