ders have found a hundred uses for their cordage some of which are star tllngly similar to human inventions.
 A list of all the uses of cobwebs would take much space, but of these the most familiar is the snare set for unwary flies-the wonderfully ingen- ious webs which sparkle with dew among the grasses or stretch from bush to bush. The framework is of webbing, and upon this is woven the sticky spiral which is so elastic, so ethereal, and yet strong enough to entangle a good sized insect How { knowing seems the little worker as the web and his den of concealment being completed, he spins strong cable from the center of the web to the en- trance of his watchtower. Then, when a trembling of his aerial spans warns him of a capture, how eagerly he seizes his master cable and jerks away on it, thus vibrating the whole struc- tUre and making more certain the con- fusion of his victim.
 Those spiders which leap upon their prey instead of setting snares for it have still use for their threads of life, throwing out a cable as they leap to break their fall if they miss their foothold. What a strange use of the cobweb is that of the little flying spi- dersl Up they run to the top of post elevate their abdomens and run out several threads, which lenghten until the breeze catches them, and away goes the wingless aeronaut for yards or for miles, as fortune may dictate! We wonder if he can cut loose or pull in his balloon cables at will.
 A most fascinating tale would unfold could we discover all the uses of cob web when the spider themselves are through with it. Certain it is that uor ruby throated humming bird robs many webs to fasten together the plant down and lichens which compose her dainty nest.
 Search the pond and you will and another member of the spider family swimming about at ease beneath the surface, thoroughly aquatic in bis habits, but breathing bubble of air which he carries about with him. When his supply is low, he swims to a submarine castle of silk, so air tight that he can keep 1t filled with large bubble of air, upon which he draws from time to time.
 And so we might go on enumerating amost endless uses for the web, which is natures gift to these little waifs who ages ago left the sea and have won place for themselves in the sum shine among the butterflies and flow ers-C. William Beebe in New York Fest.

CHRIS ESCAPE FROM A WILD
 CAT


 When young girl I spent several years on a ranch in southern Arizona. One day as I was riding through the desert I noticed the suns brightness gradually becoming obscured by a vel Jewish haze and the increased force of the wind whirling great clouds of dust everywhere. Dismounting and leading the horse, I discovered we were on the dry bed of a river and partly protec- ted from the fury of the storm. A clump of mesquite on the opposite bank apparently affording shelter, decided to avail myslf of it.
 opened the pouch containing my lunch. The latter was thickly covered with dust and I threw. it into the near by bushes.
 Instantly there was a blood curling scream. and the fiery. glaring eyes of a huge wildcat were watching me. The brute was crouching, working its way in my direction
 Just then another hair raising scream brought me to my knees, and there was the brute on its back. gnashing its teeth, with quivering arrow in it's side. Later found that a party of Indians, who had been out rabbit hunting, heard the cats growls nand had shot it.-Chicago Tribune.

thought out for a theatrical produc- ton in years. She is pretty in face and form, and with disposition sweet as clover and yet embittered against aristoeraey, believing it to be the log lcal cause of sall unhappiness. In this beautiful stage story she depicts a Wite's heartrending, soul-trying strug- gies against illness, starvation, win ters merciless cold, and villains ef- forts to degrade her. All ends, how ever, in true dramatic fashion, and the II tensely human drama concludes in the prettiest picture ever presented to the gaze of dramatic patrons. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" will

CHINA TOWN CHARLIE.

So long as melodrama interest con- tinues to hold popular favor, just so ong wi dramatic writers exert them selves in an effort to realize the most salutary results.
 In A. F. Woods "Chihatown Charlie" the play underlined as the coming at traction to the New Haven Theatre on nights next week and at Wednesday matinee, there is promised the most unmistakable evidence of an imagina- tive dramatic brain and still no pains have been spared in order to equip its production in such a manner so as to help along the authors resourceful ideas. All that scenic environment can afford has been granted so that A. H. Woods "Chinatown Charlie' should excel in every point of stage accessorie'. From a scenic point of view there is reason to believe that the production of A. H. Woods chinatown Charlie is very much superior to the average melodramatic invitation. At the same time the salient features of this play depend largely upon sensational meth ods and these have been most lasishly provided, it seems.

Townsite Meeting

A large and representative
gathering Of Phoebe business
men and property owners re-
sponded to Hon. Geo. s. Browns
invitation to meet with him
in a general public meeting
Monday evening. The purpose
of the meeting was to talk over
and learn the sentiment Of the
citizens here concerning the pro-
posed sale Of the unused portion
Of the Phoebe townsite.
The townsite is held under a
patent issued by the United
States TO the citizens Of this
community. The district Judge
being the trustee for the people.
At the time Of the granting Of
the patent, Judge Fuller was
district Judge and the greater
| portion Of the town lots now
held were transferred by him.
However, the matter was
brought to the attention Of Judge
Brown lately, with the request
that he sell this portion in ac-
cordance with the statute. In
pursuance with this request the
sale was advertised, but upon
Judge Brown receiving a protest
| from some Of the citizens, the
sale was postponed until such
time as he could gain the senti-
ment Of the people, and for such
pupose the meeting Monday
evening was held.
Many ideas were advanced,
but the sentiment Of the greater
portion of the people seemed to
be in favor of the Judge, a.
trustee, having the land survey
cd i,ItU lUts and blocks and ther
sold; believing that under this
system a fairer competitive basis
would be established, that is tC
say, persons with limited means
would be in a position to get lots
needed by them, whereas, should
the land be sold in lump sum,
only those possessing great
means would be able to bid. In
accordance Herewith, a resolu-
ton was introduced by Judge
John M. Breeze and passed by a
large majority of those present,
that a request be presented to
the trustee that he sell in the
manner aforesaid.
Interesting discussions form.
ing a legal as well as practicaI
standpoint of the question were
given by Hon. F. R. McNamee,
Hon. T. ]. Osborne and Judge
John M. Breeze.
The only unfortunate part OF
this sale is that it may in some
respects, interfere with some ex.
listing mining rights and while
we, as a people, are anxious tC
get as much as possible out Of
this sale, as the proceeds go to-
wards the betterment Of public

PEACE DELEGATE ARRIVES
SaIvadOrean who wOuId stop war
an Central America ia in
Washington.

WASHINGTON. April A-Federico Med
jia. the Salvadorean minister OF finance.
and special envoy from Salvador to Mex
leo and the United States for the purpose
of effecting peace In Central America, had
a long conference today with Assistant Sec
retary OF State Bacon. He was accom-
panied by Mr.. Calvo. the Costa Rlcan min
lister, who has been active in peace nego-
tiations.
Some days ago Salvador appealed to both
Mexico and the United States in the hope
OF securing an armistice in Central America
through the influence OF these two repub-
lies This plan failed and Salvador is now
trying to end the struggle by other means.
1t is the contention OF Salvador that II
is not at war with Nicaragua, never hav-
ing formally declared war against that
republic. Salvador maintains that It has
in way been drawn into the struggle
through N1caraguan revolutionists who
were in Salvador at the time war began
between Honduras and Nicaragua. These
revolutionists, so Salvador says, left Sal
vador and Joined Bonilla's army in Hon.
duras BY permitting these revolutionists
to leave Salvador and take up arms
against Nicaragua, Salvador incurred the
Ill feeling of President Zelaya Of Nicaragua.
