THE QUEEN OF THE SPIDERS.
Title Belongs to Orange Argiope, Hand
soonest of Tribe

The queen of spiders-the largest,
handsomest and most capable workman
of her tribe-is the orange-yellow and
black creature known as orange Argiope.
Hers are the most beautiful cobwebs
made, hung low to catch the innumerable
insects required for a rather large APP
petite, and you find them among the
bushes and vines and in the fields.
DIR. Henry G. McCCok, president of
the American Entomolo zeal society, de-
scribes her habits and haunts.
Argiope, as the author relates. cap
lures and ties up her victims as ably as
Il cowboy might do with a lasso, and
she excels the cowboy by manufacture
ing her OWL rope as she goes.

A NEW METAL.
Momel a Substitute for Nickel and Not
So Costly

A new metal called momel, which is
expected to cause something of stir
in the industrial world, is being produced
at the works of the Canadian Copper
company at Sudbury, Ont, says the
American Metal Worker.
1t consists of compound of copper,
nickel, iron and one or two other min
erals which are found in the district,
and it's Importance lies in the fact that
it is much less costly than nickel, is less
liable to rust. and will serve all the pur-
poses that are served by that metal in
the industrial world.
The new metal is said to be of equal
ductile strength with nickel and to pos
sess all its other essential qualities, but
it is not claimed that it would serve the
purpose of nickel steel which is used as
armor plate.

Mon For Oiling Floors.

The aim of the majority Of inven-
tors at the present time is In the d.
rection of designing some c~ontrivance
which will supplant hand labor, n
in the main they are successful. One
of the latest is a simple device having
a clamp which holds M or more
pieces of felt, the latter being saturat-
ed with oil to be applied to floors.
A Massachusetts man Is the ~patentee,
an illustration of the device being
shown here.
The clamp which holds the felt Is
made of metal, the front and rear be-
ing plates exactly alike. Tho upper
edges of the plates are bent inward
to give additional stiffness, and the
lower edges also bent inward and
formed with toothed projections. The
plates constitute a jaw for folding
and engaging the layers of felt. The
two plates are connected at points
above the centre by a horizontal
plate, the latter serving as a head
and guide for the felt, which can be
pushed up against it and be retained
in a horizontal position.
The upper portions Of the plates are
held apart by a pair Of stiff springs
which surround two bolts connect
ing the plates. To release the felt

1t Paws to Be Polite.

1t does not cost anything to be
polite to your friends and acquaint-
ances, and incidentally it goes a long
way toward making life pleasant for
yourself.
A civil answer makes more friends
than a gruff one and a smile succeeds
when a frown fails.
We have no right to impose our
little tempers and annoyances on our
fellow-beings.
The fact that one person annoys
US does not justify us in visiting it
on the next person we meet.
And yet that is what a great many
of us do. One trivial annoyance
often. upsets us for the whole day.
Some people have the happy knack
of showing courtesy to everyone with
whom they come in contact.
1t is a delightful quality and n
which brings its possessor great pop
ularity.
Abruptness is a hard fault to cure,
and yet it can be done.
You see, it is so easy to hurt peo-
pies feelings by speaking abruptly
to them.
It may be done quite unintention-
ally, but nevertheless the fact re-
mains that it is done.
And the funny thing about it is
that those who are most given to
hurting others are generally very cas-
lily hurt themselves.
The quickest way of curing a habit
is by never forgetting that you are
curing it.
If you are inclined to be brusque,
abrupt and harsh-spoken you must
keep the n thought constantly on
your mind.
Underneath all that you are doing
must run the refrain: Il must be
pleasant; I must be courteous."-
! Good Business.

Bonds and Stocks.

In railroading there is always
some tangible property. The case
disclosed in Mr.. Harriman's trans
actions, where bonds were issued on
a branch railroad which was never
built, is unusual. The established
custom is always to have tracks, a
right of way, cars, freight yards and
stations. What these cost is repre-
sented in an issue of first mortgage
bonds, the interest Of which must be
paid or the railroad will become in
solvent.
Next it is customary to issue the
second mortgage or general lien
bonds for the purpose Of Improve
ments and extensions BY using
dummies or through the medium of a
construction company the greater
part of the proceeds of these bonds
goes into the pockets of the men who
control the corporation.
The investors who buy these
bonds are creditors, not owners If
their interest is not paid they can
apply for a receiver. There are ad-
ditional kinds of bonds, such as de-
bentures, income bonds and deferred
bonds, whose holders are creditors,
but so secondary to the first and Sec
ond mortgage bonds that their lien
is speculative.
Stockholders are not creditors at
all and the minority stockholders
have no real rights that they do not
fight for-and they rarely fight be-
cause legal contests are so expensive.
Preferred stock is that class of stock
which gets its dividend first. Com.
mon stock receives dividends only
at the pleasure of the men who con.
troll the corporation. Collateral
bonds are in reality stock, since the
stock deposited as collateral is their
security and their payment cannot
be enforced as against the prior
