Spider COurtship.

The courtship of the Salts pulex. a
spider, is described by an expert in
insect life as a most elaborate exhibit
ton of skill and grace in dancing. Bal
ancing his body OH his long legs, he
moves in q semicircle for about two
inches and then, reversing the position,
twists and turns in the opposite direc-
ton. repeating this grotesque figure
scores Of times and pausing every few
minutes to rock from side to side and
to bend his brilliant legs so that they
may be brought into full view Of his
admiring mate A similar display, but
with varied antics, marks the lOvemak-
ing Of other sorts of spiders, but this
manner of counting is not without its
risks, and it may often happen that
the lively sutton, if he prolOngs his per-
Torrance OF shows off his points of
perfection too perSistently, is suddenly
seized and devoured by his more mus
cular mate.

Our Digestive Apparatus.

If men were designed to live on one
particular standard diet, such as each
food faddist thinks he has discovered,
they would have simple. straightfor-
ward digestive apparatus, calculated to
deal with such a diet without undue
complexity or Overlapping. On the
contrary. Our digestive apparatus is
like our teeth. Enthusiastically omniv-
orous. PepSin is only one OF at least a
dozen different fcrinCutS. some or
which can only act in alkaline medium.
others only in IN acid medium. others
only in the presence Of such and such
a body. others only in its absence. This
extraordinary. complex apparatus was
not constructed to provide problems for
PSYCHOLOGISTS or to consume superfu-
Gus vital energy. Its plain meaning
if people were on the lookout for mean
ings-is that the more complex, adapta-
bic and varied the apparatus the filter

Sleeping Plants.

Plants sleep much the same as ami
mails. Their sleep is quite real, and
its reality can be shown. Perhaps the
hes, marked form of Slumber in the
vegetable world is that Of the great
winter rest. when so many species re-
tire altogether under the Sheltering soil
and there lie dormant side by side with
the slumberiEg animals. How does the
long winter rest of animals differ, aft
err all. from the winter rest of the GRO
Gus and the hyacinth, which withdraw
all the living material from their leaves
in autumn and bury themselves inches
decD.in the soil in the shape Of Il bulb
till February rains or April suns tempt
leaves and flowers out again! The
whole vast class of Dubious and tuber-
Gus plants, indeed-the lilies, orchids,

The Old stone Fort ut Chambly.

One of the most picturesque remains
of the glories of New France, whose
history and legends date back to the
age of Frontenac and La Sale, Is the
old stone fort at Chambly. in the prov
ince of Quebec. The tablet on the
ruins, with its motto, Courage and
Loyalty" in French, bears this inscrip-
ton: In the reign of Louis XIV. OF
France and Navarro, the Marquise dc
Vandreuil being governor of New
France, this fort was erected in I'LL.
burned in 1776, restored by Guy Garlic
ton in 1777, abandoned in 1S47. 1t was
repaired in 1882 in the reign Of Vic
toria, queen of Great Britain, the Mar
quis Of Lorne being governor general
Of Canada etc. A fact which the in
scription kindly fails to record is that
the burning referred to was by the
American troops, who, having captured
the fort in 1915 under General Mont
gomery, burned it the following year
when. they retreated to Lake Cham
plain. The various reservations have
been made skiIlfully to harmonic with
the weather beaten portions which re-
sisted the fire of 177G.

The Policeman and His Uniform.

Why is 1t that policeman Of medf-
um build can handle frequently two
and sometimes three men his size in n
fight? An officer on the local force was
discussing the question. "I'll tell you
why it u.s." he said. 1T is simply be-
cause the policeman is in uniform. The
uniform denotes authority, and that
takes the nerve out Of his opponents
to a certain extent. They know that
they are breaking the law by resisting
him, while he might even kill them and
not commit q crime. All through fight
with a policeman the ether fellow or
fellows are thinking Of escape. The
officer isn't. He's thinking Of subduing
and arresting the man or men. He puts
his whole effort and strength into it,
while his opponents generally fight in
a half hearted way. - = policeman in

with one another at sea, at distances
far beyond the limits of signalling in
the usual way, and with wireless sta
tions on land as harbors are approach
ed, but it now seems the determined
purpose of the navy to create, if it is
possible, a system that will carry clear
across the Pacific ocean.
The Solace is coming here bringing
an equipment for a station on this ISL
and as one of the relay stations in the
trans-Pacitic system, and with experts
to erect it and put it in operation. 9th
err stations are to be created on others
of the chain of American Islands that
now stretch across the North Pacific.
1t is of course impossible to say what
are the limitations of wireless tele-
graphy, 1t is only reasonable however
to suppose that it is only in the begin
ming of its development. The tremen-
dous utility it would serve in the navy
is so obvious, that it seems to have
firmly impressed itself on the person
mel Of the navy, and has led to the
most assidiOus efforts to bring its de-
velopment to a high state of perfec-
ton.

ces, wireless telegraph apparatus, ANA

base of supplies and of operation, and
with the world. The advantages of this
are obvious. 1t would seem that thus
equipped, provided he is able to keep
in communication, there is no reason
why he should not reach the north pole,
1t is humanity possible to reach it.
