TARANTuLA NOT DEADLY.
Pennsylvania Professor May Allow
Spider to Bite Him.


Spider to Bite Him.
Philadelphia, Pa, July 22.-Dr. Phil
ip Samuel Stout of the University of
Pennsylvania, after series of expert
ments with tarantulas, has expressed
his opinion most emphatically that the
popular theory of tarantulas is a bug
aboo, and that their bite practically is
harmless.
To prove his assertions Stout
declares that he probably win allow
one of the insects to bite him. He de-
clares that so far from the bite being
poisonous, it probably is an antidote
for certain forms of nervous diseases
DR.. Stout who is an assistant dem
onstrator in pathology, has been car
rying on his experiments for several
weeks. One of these showed that a dog
which had been suffering with chorea
and which was subjected to the bite OF
a tarantula was much benefited tenn
porarily.
DIR. Stout began his work with half
dozen tarantulas that were sent him as
a joke by a friend travelling in Central
America. AS some of the dreaded in
sects have died he has sent for num-
Der from Panama, and will continue
his experiments on larger scale.
All of his experiments have been
carried on with dogs as his subjects
The animal has been placed in small
compartment and the tarantula then
released In each case the dogs cur
iosity has proven too strong. and, on
investigating the strange animal, has
been bitten. Unfortunately for the
continuance of the experiments the dog
has always retaliated by killing the
tarantula. None of the dogs tlus bit
ten has suffered any i'll effects.
In speaking of the popularity sup
posed deadly effects of the tarantula
bite, DR.. Stout said that he thought
the reports of such cases were greatly
exaggerated
iWithout doubt many tales we hear
of experiences of those bitten by these
Insects are entirely false" he said.
"For instance they say that the bite
produces an effect on the unfortunate
victim which is termed 'tarantula
dance and this is frequently exhibited
by natives Of Central America, who all
low themseles to be bitten by taran-
tulas for small sums, and then enter
tain their patrons with their weird &C
tions. In this case it would seem that
the dance is a cleverly concocted hoax
which is perpetuated on the over
credulous traveller If these natives
can be bitten by a tarantula without
suffering any harm, there Is no reason
why it should have any such a dsEdly
effect on others"

DECEPTIVE TRICKS OF
THE AH0RSE FAi<lR.' I

Professor Woodward OF Columbia

and "doped" by 4'horse fakir" so that
they would present a good appearance

"A couple of coats Of the brown

examination cannot detect for the or

til he goes out for spin behind his
new team does he discover anything
wrong.
