An Indians Stoicism.

A pathetic story, afterward proved q
true one, was the incident told by q
party of miners, in which it was re-
lated that these miners had come
across a space among the trees that was
cleared of snow, on one side of which a
small wood fire was burning. In the
middle Of the clearing lay an old In
dian, who had been cast aside by his
tribe to die. Investigation shows that
it is the invariable custom Of the Ill
dian tribes that haunt the flats OF
southern Nevada, when they perceive
signs Of q final weakness in any indl-
vidual Of their number, to leave hin
behind to die. They place a small
amount of food ut his side and pro-
coed upon their journey, while he
who is left on the doorstep OF the
happy hunting grounds obeys his fate
with the stoicism Of the old-time fiaScl-
lants. This particular Indian lived for
nearly two weeks before death oyer
came him, steadfastly refusing succor
from any and all who sought to re-
lieve him.

The %Scrapple Trust.

"Scrapple used to be made by the

Trust, which turns out thousands OF

This delectable stuff is made Of pigs
heads. livers, pork, sage. thyme and
4 dozen other ingredients. The meat
is first boiled on the bone in watts as

is cut I'D into chunks the size Of

ground in steam power machines. The

There, under the direction Of the mix

SPIDER THAT EATS BIRDS.
Lives in the Forest Of tho South American
Tropics.

There has just been deposited in the
insect house at the O a specimen OF
the bird eating spider, which earns
it's name by occasionally including in
its menu some of the brilliantly hued
humming birds and varicolored fnches
of the South American tropics.
1t is doubtful whether the silken
threads which he spins in profusion
constitute his most effective tackle
for securing his prey; indeed, it Is
more probable that the little birds
get caught through alighting upon the
banana and other leaves, in the twisted
folds Of which the spider makes his
home. The similarity of his coloring
to the bark Of trees, to which he at
taches himself. is also a powerful
factor in enabling him to approach his
prey. D
The silken threads which help to en-
snare so many beautiful birds are a
serious annoyance to the>traveler when
riding or driving through the less fire.
auented forests. AS they continually
strike the face, one is reminded Of
some tiendish motor trap on the Sur
rey roads.
The bird eating spider is much small
er, although not less ferocious in ap-
pearance, than the famous %tarantula.
The body of a full grown tarantula is
as big as a hens egg, and on an aver
age it gives from twenty to forty
yards of silk, the weaving of which
was expected at one time to prove a
very considerable industry in some. of
the Australian colonies. The silken
output of the bird eating spider is
greater in proportion .-London Daily

THE HAND.

The little child who wakes at night,
Afrighted at the somber gloom,
And clamors for a ray of light
To drive the darkness from the room,
To quiet dreamland sweetly goes,
Contented, if a hand is near,
C~aressingly, because it knows
There is no terror it need fear.
So we, who stumble through the glooms .
In aimless manner seeking light,
Will bhndly wander to our doom
If travelling by our own might.
But when in darkened paths we stray
And cry aloud, the Father hears
And reaches out His hand to stay
Our apprehensions and our fears.

shops it is the duty of the tool room
not only to see that certain tools are

what jigs or other fixtures could be

rays capable of affecting Photographic
plates and of passing through thin
screens of paper, etc. Continuing the
investigation, Professor H. Piltchikoff,
of the University of Charkow, has now
found that some metals give off rays
that decompose the silver bromide of
the Photographic film, and others that
restore the decomposed bromide. He
names these radiations positive" and
negative" Most metals, including
cadmium and zinc, are positive; os-
MUM and tantalum are negative; cop
per and brass have q neutral radia-
ton, with no action, and gold and
mercury give off no radiation at all.
The radiation is DETECTED by air cur
rents, but is not affected by electric or
magnetic fields. One suggestion is that
it may be a kind Of heavy metallic ions

skin.
Tantalite, the metal recently en-
ployed in Germany for making an i'm

found another use. Messrs. Siemens

time harder than steel and more elias

the air of a house Of $4,000 cubic feet
