One day, on coming
out, the spider saw a
metallic wasp circling
about near by. Some

to a clinch at once and

sank down in a helpless

ceeded with great labor
to drag her victim to
his own trap door, drop
him into his silken
tunnel, and lay there
in a tiny egg. Then
she crept out, cleaned

Of all spider life and spider history, the courshp
is not the least remarkable. Probably in each
species the method of procedure varies, but in many
the result is to say the least, uncertain Imagine
a man six feet in height and weighing one hundred
and fifty pounds keeping company with coy
young woman standing anywhere from seventy
five to ninety feet in height and tipping the scales
at some two hundred thousand pounds! This is an
actual comparison between the males and females
of some species of spiders.

A Miracle Happened

A the moment of adjustment miracle happened
n the spider vanished! His body was of the
same sheeny white as the flower, and on each side
two pink patches stained with the selfsame
hue as that of the blossom.
Twenty feet off lay the decayed log under which
the spider Matched. What brush had painted, what
knowledge brought him, to this flower? Why had
not white toadstool a pink blossom of the part
ridge vine attracted him? These questions
sealed in the book of his past evolution.

had become a death trap, and the lurking spider

within to search increasingly. Soon he came to
low plant, and the strange instinct led him to
climb its stem and search vaguely about its summit.
Nothing which satisfied him there, and down
he went again. Stem after stem he assembled, only
find them topped by bunch of berries of bright
est scarlet. At last, however, something thrilled
him, if spider feel thrill-a white flower
into his dim view, with four white divisions, each
stained at the tip with pink The instinct
which led him to it, made it seem most natural to
sdle and push downward and inward until his body
completely covered one of the white flower parts.
He drew back his eight legs and waited.

The Triumph of a New
Idea.

1t has been subject OF comment
that the usual features Uf the Sunday
newspapers showed too little variety.
A recent departure in Sunday journal
ism has met with popular recognition
and approval. The great illustrated
weeklles and monthlies no longer have
a monopoly of the periodical tield.
Conan Doyle received S25,000 for the
American serial rights OF his last
story, the highest price ever paid for
similar rights. Anthony Hope, Jack
London, Sewell Ford ann manv other
popular nOvelists contribute to the
publication which set the pace by pay
ing this record price, Celebrated men
and women write constantly for it on
all subjects Of timely interest. Clever
verse. wit, humor and interesting
miscellany complete most interest
ing table or contents. 1t Is pfofu ,ely
illustrated by the leoding artists. In
fact, the Sunday Magazine of the
Record Herald maintains the highest
standard of periodical literature
throughout. 1t gets the best at
whatever cost.

The First Railway Wreck.
(From the New York World.

(From the New York WORLDLY
On July "a, 1S46, occurred the first
railway accident of note in the United
States. 1t happened on the Erie road,
then less than five years old. A car
went through Seaman's bridge, near
Monroe, Pa. Three persons were
killed outright, three died later OF
their injuries.
This casualty aroused great interest
at home and abroad. No columns of
matter from the railway officials
were printed explaining that the acci-
dent was unexplainable. There was
no board of railroad commissioners to
certify that everything it could find in
the roads equipment was all right.
In suits for damages it was estab-
lished that the wreck was caused by
the collapse Of a cast-iron spoked
wheel. The railroad paid the judg-
ments. And straightway the wheel
with spokes gave way to the solid pat
tern used later on all the roads in the
country.
But that was sixty years ago.

Where Women Can Vote.
(From the Indianapolis News.)

(From the Indianapolis News)
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho
admit women to suffrage on terms
equal with the men. Wyoming began
it in 1859 and Idaho established it in
1896. Many other states have since
been importuned, but have refused.
There is, however, partial woman suf-
frage in many states, an account of
which the Kansas City Star gives
thus: "In Kansas women possess
school suffrage, established in 1891,
and municipal suffrage, established in
1887. In eighteen additional states
women possess school suffrage In
Michigan and Minnesota, establish
ed in 1875; in New Hampshire and
Oregon in 1878; in Massachusetts, In
1879; in New York and Vermont in
$780, in Nebraska in 1888; in Wiscon-
sin in 1900; in Washington in 1889; in
Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, North
and South Dakota in 1887; In Illinois
in 1891; in Connecticut in 1893, and
in Ohio in 1894. Two states permit
women to vote upon the issuance of
municipal bonds; Montana, establish
ed in 1886 and Iowa in 1894. Louisiana
gave all women taxpayers the suffrage
upon all questions submitted to tax
payers in 1898. In 1901 the New York
legislature passed a law providing
that "a woman who possesses the
qualifications to vote for village or for
town officers, except the qualification
of sex, who is the owner Of property
in the village assessed upon the last
preceding assessment roll thereof, is
entitled to vote upon proposition to
raise money by tax or assessment"

The Noble Army of Dodgers.
(From The World.)

The salary grab has been put
through by congress, and the sena-
tors were honest enough to record
their vote on the so per cent increase.
The members Of the house Of repre-
sentatives, however, lodged a roll call,
so as to evade personal criticism and
be able to say the other fellows did
it, mot l." AS the cost of living has
increased over so per cent under the
Republican system of protecting the
trusts, there Of course must eventual
ly be a similar increase in all sala-
ries, but members of congress showed
their selfishness by adding so per cent
to their own allowances while leaving
the army and navy and the govern
ment clerks and laborers at their
present rate, which in many instances
is none too generous under the chang
ed conditions from ten years ago.

Pass an Antitrust Law.
(From the Newark News.) }

Nr IIlS 1N6WdEh N0WS,J
The concurrent resolution introduc-
ed in the legislature yesterday by
Senator Minturn authorizing the ap-
pointment of special joint committee
to investigate the coal and ice trusts,
will add to the interest aroused over
recent developments but should it be
passed by both houses, it might not
be sufficient to correct the prevailing
abuses. What the legislature needs
to do is to pass stringent antitrust
law that will absolutely prevent the
formation of combines in restraint OF
trade and will put out of business any
such trusts now in existence. An in
vestigation of the coal and ice COM
binatiOns will do no practical good so
long as there is no law on the statute
books of this state forbidding such
combines. Vice Chancellor Stevens,
in an opinion bearing on this very
point, has declared that there is no
law in New Jersey adequate to deal
with trusts, and although the case has
been appealed on the ground that the
common law offers a remedy, still it
is the duty of the legislature to fore
stall any court decision that may sus-
tain Vice Chancellor Stevens find
ing.

Legislative CareIessness.

(From the Long Branch Record)
An illustration of legislative care
lessness is afforded by the situation
regarding the execution of criminals
in this state. Hangings have been
abolished and electrocution substitute
ed, but no provisions have been made
for infliction of this punishment. A
strange oversight, the uninitiated may
think. But there is no session of the
legislature at Trenton without a num-
Der of such mistakes-all inexplaina-
bic except on the ground of gross neg
ligence.
