Land transfer has lost a great deal

the operation in the olden time. The

once belonged to the archbishop of
Canterbury, but was much coveted
by Earl Goodwin. supporter Of the last
OF the Saxon kings, whose treasury
was unfortunately too empty to pur-
chase it. He obtained the place by a
novel system of land transfer. His
lOrdShip attended Il great ceremony in
the archbishOp's cathedral, followed by
bis retainers. and. according to time
honored custom, said TO his grace. ''Da
mihi basium," meaning, "Give me the
kiss Of peace" only instead OF saying
''basium" he irSeniously substituted
the provincial pronunciation Of b.
sham The archbishop gracefully re-
piled, DO tibi basium,' which, being
interpreted, is, II give thee the kiss"
which he did. But Goodwin cried, Thou
hast given me BOshamr' to which all
his retainers cried. "Why, cert'nly"
And the whole crew at once rode off
to take possession of the pleasant Sus-
sex territory. The archbishop could
not help himself and allowed the trans
fer to go. The law has greatly COM
plicated matters since then.

PECULIAR EYES.
The Organs of Sight of the Spider

The Organs of Sight of the Spider
and the Snail.
The next time you catch a spider try
to find the eight shiny little eyes ct the
anterior end, some above and some put
under the edge of what we may imag-
inc to he its forehead. To examine
these parts to the best advantage hold
the spider in tweezerS. or it may be
better to use a spider killed by being
dropped into bottle Of diluted alcohol.
These eight eyes vary in arrangement
and in relative size in various species
of spiders-in some they may be ar
ranged in two rows. in other in three:
some may be very small and others
large and prominent. and so on-but
there they are, rather poor eyes, near
sighted, looking in several directions at
once. and the spider, which can never
shut any of them, is sure to see every
thing that approaches unless 1t is
asleep, in which case the sight is dead
For some purposes it may be cOnyen-
lent to have eyes that roll up and dis
appear at the approach of danger. And
these are exactly what the snail has.
