the doors to the egg chamber two, and

How Spiders Make Love.

The courtship of the Salts pulex, a
spider, is described by an expert in in.
sect life as a most elaborate exhibi.
ton of skill and grace in dancing.
Balancing his body on his long legs,
he moves in q semi-circle for about
two inches, and then reversing the
position twists and turns in the oppo.
site direction, 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 love-making of other
sorts of spiders, but this manner of
counting is not without its risks, and
1t may often happen that the lively
suitor, If he prolongs his performance,
or shows off his points of perfection
too persistently, is suddenly seized
and devoured by his more muscular
mate.

the chief cause OF chicks dying in shell

GAS AND WATER.
IS OLE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER7


New York. June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about tile price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi-
dent is as dependent upon a supply of
gas as upon a supply Of good water.
IT has come TO pass that the day la
borer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at S1.00 per thousand cubic feet
In large cities, and from that to as high
as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own gas
and is independent OF Gas and Electric
Companies. Acetylene is more per-
feet illumlnant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies in the cities, and
the cost 10 the smallest user is about
the equivalent of city gas at S5 cents
per thousand
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition TO the many
inventions that have become daily ne.
cessities.
The light from an acetylene fame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in quail
lty is only rivaled by the suns rays.
If water and solid material known as
Calcium Carbide are brought into con
tact, the immediate result is the max.
ing OF this wonderful gas. The genera
ton of acetylene is SO simple that ex-
perience or apparatus is not neces-
sary to make ii. If 1t is desired TO
make it for practical lighting and TO
keep 1t for immediate use, then a small
machine called an "Acetylene Genera
tor is employed. There are many re-
sponsible concerns making acetylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings grounds or entire cities and
towns in the same manner as ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only salts
factory means Of lighting isolated
buildings located In the country or
suburbs at a distance from city gas or
electric plants.

The Advantages of subsoiling.

Subsoil tilage consists in breaking
and fining the subsoi, without bring
ing it to the surface. 1t is not always
advisable or profitable, but is some
times useful. 1t is most likely to prove
useful in well-drai ined soils, where the
subsol is hard and dry. 1t cannot be
recommended for wet land. If at
tempted where the subsoil is wet and
clayey, there is tendency TO pudding
the clay, which does more harm than
good. When, however, there Is ade-
quate undertakings, natural or ar
tlfcial, breaking up, mellowing and
loosening the subsoi proves useful, be-
cause it enables the water TO percolate

Subsoiling is performed by means of

plow is worked. II may not be greater

While the lawyers argued pro and con,
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth

The choice of the boar is of greatest
Importance. for it must not be forgot
ten that the sire is half the herd. In
the case of young boars, the age of the
animal must always be borne in mind.
1t is very difficult to judge boars at
from three &c five months old. When
purchasing boar of this age 1t is
therefore very desirable to see his sire
and dam. II, so far as can be judged
in his as yet immature state. the young
boar possesses the characteristics
sought for. and an inspection of his
parents shows them to be of the de.
sired type, the probability is all in
favor of the animal developing along
the same lines.

NERVE SAVED STEVE BRopIE.
Charley Mitchell Thought Better Of
Intended Chastisement.

Intended chastisement.
The presence In New York of Mitch.
ell, once boxing champion of England,
recalls an incident In the strenuous
career Of the late Steve" Brodie,
who Jumped from the Brooklyn bridge
nearly score of years ago to glory,
prosperity and histrionic fame. Brodie
visited London in the early nine.ies
where Mitchell, playing the part CT
cicerone one night. introduced the
Bowery boy at the Spooferies club, a
resort for prize fighters, horse jockies,
and their kind, where the festivities
are seldom concluded before daylight
and the police have more than once
been called upon to restrain merri-
ment.
In the course of general converse
tion the English fighter happened to
make some adverse comment upon the
then mighty John L. Sullivan, which
called forth sarcastic remark from
Brodie with reference to Mitchell's
abilities as sprinter while in the ring
with the American champion.
With an oath the Englishman gave
the smaller man a push that sent him
reeling ten feet backward, and then
rushed upon him TO administer correc
tion for the others temerity, Brodie
was due for fearful bruising, but the
Bowery boy was equal to the occasion
He was erect on his feet with a pistol
In his hand when the prize fighter
reached him. Putting the weapon un'
der the others nose. he remarked
calmly:
"You t'ink you're goin to make a
reputation off lickin' Steve Brodie,
don't yer? Well. you just hit me once
and therell be lot in the papers
about 1t, but you won't read it."
Fully appreciating the inutility OF
post-mortem notoriety, Mitchell ex.
planned that he was only joking, and
the incident was closed,-New York
Times.
