SPIDER LIFTS A SNAKE.
Explanation OF the Power In the Insects
strong Elastic SILK Threads.
From the Youths Compdnion.

From the Youths Com pdnion.
Doctor Phin describes. among other strange
things, how a spider oontrived to lit from the
ground a snake that was. Of course. many
timss heavier than itself. The story Ia Of
interest chiefly for the scientific explanation
which ia given Of the way in which the thing
was done.
Some years ago in a small village In New
York State a spider entangled a milk snake
in her threads and actually raised IT some dis
lance from the ground, In spite OF the struggles
OF the reptile. which was alive,
By what process Of engineering didthe COM
parativcly small and feeble insect succeed in
fitting the snake by mechanical meansY The
solution is easy enough II one only gives inc
question q little thought.
The spider is furnished with one OF the most
efficient mechanical implements known 10 en-
glneers, namely. a strong elastic thread.
There are few substances that VIII support
A greater strain than the silk OF the spider.
Careful experiment has shown that for equal
sizes the strength OF these fibres exceeds that
of common iron: but notw Outstanding It's
strength the spiders thread would be useless
as a mechanical power II II were not for its
elasticity,
The spider has no blocks or pulleys and
therefore cannot cause the thread to divide up
and run in different directions. but the elas-
ITCHY OF the thread more than makes up Tor
this and renders possible the lifting OF an ami
NAL much heavier than a snake.
Let us suppose that a child can lift a six
pound weight one foot high and can do It
twenty times a minute. Furnish him with
$50 rubber bands. each capable OF pulling six
pounds through one foot when stretched
Let these bands be attached to a wooden plat
form on which stand a pair OF horses weighing
? 100 pounds, or rather more than a ton.
II, now, the child will go to work and stretch
these rubber bands singly, hooking each one
up as II Is stretched. in less than twenty min
utes he W III have raised the pair OF horses one
| foot.
The elasticity Of the rubber bands enables
the child to divide the weight OF the horses
into $50 pieces OF six pounds each, and at the
! rate OF a little less than one every three Sec
| onds. he lifts all these several pieces one foot
40 that the child easily lifts this enormous
weight.
Each spiders thread acts like one OF the
elastic rubber bands. Tn spider would have
| to connect the snake with the point from
which IL was to be suspended by q sufficient
number OF threads. By pulling successfully
| on each thread and shortening 1t a little. the
snake might be raised 10 any height within
the capacity Of the building III which the wcri
was done.

sThe freshman eight was one Of the best
boats we ever have had and the fact has
been pretty broadly emphasized through
East that we would have done much better
had we not run into a swell near the finish.
The good showing of that crew and the fact
that the varsity was at least good enough
to beat two crews is likely to have some
influence on the debate over the question Of

is a big factor in any argument over crew

The Story ofa Medicine.

It's name-Golden Medical Discovery was suggested by one of its most import ant and valuable ingredients - Golden Seal root.
 Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refned glycerine, aided by a cer- tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex- tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "GOlden Medical Discovery" for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion. or dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as 1t ever sin4e has bsen, without particle of alcohol ih its maRs-up.

From these endorsements, copied from standard medical books of all the differ ent schools of practice, it will be found that the ingredients composing the Gold en Medical Discovery" are advised not only for the cure of the above mentioned diseases, but also for the cure of all ca tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections, accompanied with catarrhal discharges, hoarSeneSs, sore throat, lingering or laUg-OD- -cOuQhS and all those wasting affections which, if not promptly and properly treated are liable to terminate in consumption. Take Dr. Pierce's Dis cOvery in time and persevere in it's use until you give it fair trial and it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will not perform miracles.

James Kinney of the firm of Kinney Brothers. of Bisbee, was bitten Sunday by hydrophobia skunk. It took place about 4 o'clock in the morning at the roundup camp at the west wells in Cochise county. The bite of the skunk woke MT Kinney up and when he reached to find out what was the mat ter with him he found the animals teeth buried in the flesh at the knee. He pried the jaws open and killed the skunk and then took his bowie knife and made a slit where the skunk had bitten. one of his friends then ap- piled his mouth to the wound and in that way withdrew the greater part Of the venom.
 At daylight MT. Kenney was brought into town and placed under the doc tors care. The wound was at once reopened and cauterized. He is con fined to his bed at present and ar engagements are being made for him to leave for Chicago to receive treat ment at the Pasteur Institute. This is the first time that anyone has been bitten by a hydrophobia skunk in this part of Arizona for many years. Mir. Kenney is a strong. athletic fellow in the best of health and there is no doubt that he will recover.

Interesting Facts Concerning World Wide Sewing Machine Business and Showing It's Marvellous Growth.

The Singer Sewing Machine company has issued a directory Of all the shops throughout the world where the Singer machine is sold. IL contains also a lot of interesting data on the subject of the sewing machine business among which is the announcement that during the last year 10O7 shops have been add ed to the list of the preceding year, making total of 5559 shops.
 The list is arranged by ''hemispheres. continents and cOuntries;" the sun is always shining on a Singer shop. and factories for the manufacture of Singer machines are located at ElizabethpOrt. New Jersey; South Bend. Indiana, Cairo. Illinois; St. Johns. Province of Quebec; KiIbowie, Scotland. Witten- berg, Prussia; FIoridsdorf, Austria, and Podolsk, Russia.
 These factory plants occupy more than three hundred and fifty acres of land and the buildings contain more than one hundred and twenty-five acres of floor space, their annual out put exceeding two million sew ing machies. The system of inter changeable parts. which originated in the United States. is used in all Singer factories wherever located. so that ev- cry part of a Singer machine can all ways be exactly duplicated
 The advantages of so extended an in dustry are manitoba it enables easy repairs and exchanges in any part of the world. The Singer system of man Ufacture and direct dealing from fac tory to user, all make for superior excellence of product and assure fair ] dealing in it's sale.
