Spider That Changes Color of Eyes.
NJ. w. Strickland of Singapore recent
ly had a strange experience while sit
ting in a garden at BuitenzOrg, Java.
Watching a captive spider remarkable
for the possession of a pair of eyes
which glow like gig lamps amid a
cluster of smaller eyes. he was amazed
to note that the gig lamps slowly
changed in color from brown to grass
green and back again to brown. Fur
ther, as if to increase his astonish-
ment. the creature proceeded to change
the color of its eyes alternately, there
by exercising a most uncanny fascina-
tion over the mere man. There was
something so diabolically deliberate in
these changes as to make it seem that
the actor took a genuine pride in the
performance. So far as is known, this
change in the color of the eyes occurs
only in certain species of ducks and
then only under the influence of fear,
while in the spider it would appear al
most to be voluntary Westminster

PENNA. RAILROAD
MEN INDICATED
Only Fifteen Employees Received
"Graft" From Shippers.
NO FAvORITISH WAS SHOWN

New York, Feb. 1S-"A mistaken
public opinion, misinformed as to the
facts. because of the publication Of
portions, and not the whole, of the tes-
timony of the witnesses before the in
terstate commerce commission, and,
therefore, basing it's conclusions upon
insufficient premises, has done grave
injustice to the whole service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. That
service is of more than so years
growth; it is constituted, in the main,
of educated, trained and self-respecting
men, whose honorable lives have won
the esteem of those who know them
best; it has its traditions of loyalty;
and it has had, In its successive Of
fcers, examples of unselfsh devotion
to duty and steadfast adherence to the
right"
This in brief is the report Of the
special committee appointed by the
board of directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company nearly a year ago
to examine into the facts connected
with the acquisition and ownership by
officers and employees of the company
of stock or other interest in any COM
pany the holding of which could af-
feet the performance of their duty or
,the company's duty to the public. The
alleged acceptance of gratuities by
employees of the company also was in
quired into by the company. AS a re-
suit of its examination of 2505 officers
and employees, including every officer
of the several companies whose indi-
vidual action or whose order to any
subordinate could effect any discrimi-
nation, the committee reports it found
that 266 had interests in coal or other
corporations or firms or with indi-
viduals. With the exception Of Is, all
of these had acquired their interests
by purchase. The Is admitted that
they had received gifts of shares or
interests in various corporations, and
their names have been reported to the
presidents of the several railroad COM
panies for appropriate action.
On the whole, the report vindicates
the officers and employees of the Penn
sylvania railroad system.
Allegation of faVorit1sm to certain
shippers of freight, mainly coal, are
treated at considerable length by the
committee, which sums up the result
of its investigation of this subject with
the statement that 'there has not been
and is not on the part of the railroad
company any discrimination as be-
tween shippers in the facilities given
for the exercise for that legal right"
On chages of discrimination to ia
vored shippers in the bituminOus coal
fields. the committee quotes the report
of a company of expert accountants
who made an investigation of the mat
ter. The accountants report declares
that "the officers of the railroad COM
pany have fair operating or other rea-
sons to present in explanation of such
seeming preference and discrimina-
ton"

His Church Record.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain
of the senate, takes a sort of fatherly
interest in the members. He once
asked certain senator with good
deal of solicitation if he was church
member. The senator was glad to be
able to say that he was. Two or three
days later, according to the story, Dr.
Hale recurred to the subject and asked
the name Of the church. The senator
gave name. Two or three days later
again DR.. Hale remarked with regret
that he had looked up that church and
that he was sorry to find that it had
been burned down twelve years be

Mndern Witcheraft.

How many English readers who have
read the witch trial of Vienna know
that Just such women as Marie Nebily
performing just such tricks, are to be
found in England? Marie seems to
have surprised the Austrian judge by
her story of the Hungarian shepherd
Stephan Stephanovics. who is ninety
years old and who sells charms and in
whom she believes. He made the re-
mark. which we have so often heard
before, that the world is not in the mid
die ages. But the judge is wrong. A
great part of mankind is in the middle
ages, if by that is meant that it be-
lieves in witchcraft. The credulous
Austrian woman who thought that her
husband could be cured Of eXtrava-
gance if she gave a half of one Of his
socks to Marie Nebily, who would then
for q small consideration in ready mon
ey give a powder to cure him of spend
thrift habits, has many French and
English fellow believers. White and
black witches thrive in many parts Of
England. And what is more, they not
only make dupes, but not a few Of
them really believe in their own
charms, as the woman Nebily asserted
that she did.-London Outlook,
