Spider-Web Factory

Ten years ago French missionary
started the systematic rearing of two
kinds of spiders for their web, and
spider web factory is now in sue
cessful operation at Chalais- Meudon
near Paris, where ropes are made OF
spider web intended for balloons for
the French military aeronautic section.
The spiders are arranged in groups OF
II above a reel, upon which the
threads are wound. 1t is by no means
easy work for the spiders, for they are
not released until they have furnished
from 80 to Al yards of thread each.
The web is washed and thus freed OF
the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are then
taken together, and of this rather
strong yarn cords are woven which are
stronger and much lighter than cords
of silk of the same thickness.

There is knitting of this kind in Rus

bungling work of the peasantry. If
Count Tolstoi has not been knitting,
certainly his finger of warning has
pointed in many directions. Ominous
records have been woven in the most

line to the guillotine, shall it be said
their fate is the less methodically
planned. There are those who are
content to protest, and Tolstoi is one
of these. But also there are those who

COURT KNEW THE GAME.
And Took Judicial Notes of the Fine
Points as They Were
Narrated.

Senator Clay, of Georgia, is looked
upon as one of the best raconteurs in
the upper house of congress. In negro
dialect stories he is inimitable says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. This
is his latest:
When Judge David Irwin was hold
ing court in Marietta, Ca, negro was
brought before him for smashing the
nose of a companion while the two
were engaged in supposedly friendly
game of cards. There were a dozen
witnesses who testified that there was
no provocation whatever, but that the
prisoner had suddenly leaned over the
table and smashed the nose of the
man opposite, nearly knocking that
organ out of place.
/. The belligerent was convicted of as
sault and battery and sentenced to six
months imprisonment. The man had
in the past borne a good reputation
and Judge Irwin had known him for
years, and besides the judge was noted
for his clemency to first offenders So
he asked the prisoner, when the case
came before him for review, why he
had acted in such manner.
you must have had some reason"
he said. Now tell me all about it, just
between ourselves"
"'Deed 1 did hab some reason,
jedge; deed 1 did," the negro blurted
out. "Jedge, did you eber play seben-
up?"
The stern dispenser of justice de-
clined to answer the question.
Whether 1 play seven-up or not has
nothing to do with the case" he said.
''But 'ded it hab, jedge; it hab heaps
to do wifi it," the negro insisted, '.for
lessen you can play seben-up you CANT
understan' how this yere happened.
You see, jedge, me and that niger
ober dar was playin' and l dole the
kairds and l turn up de nine-spot OBJ

Incidentally the police were able to
clear up the mystery of the unknown
man who was suddenly blown to pieces
on the morning of March II by the &C
cidental explosion of bomb in his
room in the Hotel Bristol in St Peters
burg. Although the passport carried
by the dead terrorist was issued in
London, ostensibly to an Englishman,
it was discovered that he was a Pole,
and spoke scarcely a dozen words of
English.
The police, in tracing his movements
prior to the explosion, found that he
had two addresses here, and documents
were found indicating that he was
watching for members of the imperial
family and ministers of state. He ffe-
quently visited the government offices.
The police learned that he was connect.

who are privileged to enjoy the melan-
choly warmth of the cars hospitality
and that of the grand dukes, harbor at
the same time murderous thoughts,
their normal impulses cankered by the
invidius teachings of nihilism. The
| death of Sergius and the revelations
which have followed that tragedy give
slayer was known both to the murdered
man and to his widow, the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth. He belonged to
their stratum of society. He had no
personal grievance. He expressed great
regret to the grand duchess when she
visited him in his cell after the assas-
sination, that he had caused her so
great a grief. He fell back before her
reproaches upon an imprisoned ex-
PLANTATION of the doctrines of the ter
rorists, as if there were to be found
in them some adequate excuse for his
crime. If the grand duchess found in
these teachings no consolation she at
any rate elected the information that
many revolutionists are members of
the Russian nobility. Russian aris-
tocracy, he told her, is honeycombed
with revolutionary adherents. At least
one was a palace official in the cars
own household.
Such, it subsequently appeared, was
the undercurrent of revenge in the
hearts of Russians on the afternoon of
February II, when a sledge in which
two men were seated shot out ahead
of the grand dukes carriage as it was
passing through Senate square, Mos
cow, on the way from the palace to the
Kremlin. The Sledge then slowed up,
allowing the carriage to pass, while
one of the men, dressed as a workman,
peered earnestly into the dukes car
a prince and in his hand was bomb.
What occurred is best described by an
eye-witnessa
The Senate square was deserted and
presented a melancholy appearance at
the moment when I entered it at lit
tie before three o'clock. The snow was
deep and the weather lowering; some
men were engaged in clearing the side
walks of the thick ice and snow which
covered them. l had remarked moth
ing unusual and had not even noticed
the grand dukes carriage, which must
nevertheless have passed very close to
me.

l suppose dad never studied geogra-
ply, so he didn't know how Venice was

Venice, he said 1 was crazy in my head

mufied behind rich draperies, but they
are not the less deadly. The bomb
that killed Grand Duke Sergius was
thrown by an Obolenski-a name
which denotes one of the most distin-
guished families of the Russian aris-
tocracy. This fact is no longer secret
the sort which the Russian police
like to embalm within their own in
scrutable comprehension. From every
indication there is more nihilism in
vited officially to the palace of the car
than you would meet with in visit
to the Russian underworld. 1t may be
depended upon that there are many
persons of title who know more of the
real spirit of the Russian terrorists
than they would care to discuss in
tete-a-tete in the cars reception
rooms.
There can be no doubt that many
