MOST TERRIBLE OF DEATHS.
Spiders Bite Probably the Worst
Known to Scientists.

What is the most terrible death in
the world? The following are a few
Of the most terrible known to mortal
man, but as to which of those given

to say
One of the most agonl2ing deaths
known Is caused by small black
spider half the size of a pea. 1t lives
in Peru and South Australia, but
few specimens have reached Europe
and America in ship loads of lumber.
Not long ago a dock laborer while un'
loading a vessel in the Victoria docks
felt one upon his hand. This death
dealer dug its fangs deep into the
mans flesh. and as soon as the poison
began to work he tainted with pain.
He was dead in three days. This

tissues, causing the most fearful ag-

The worst of it is that the victim
lives at least two days. The spider
Is generally known as the "specky,"
When a m.n who knows what the
bite means becomes the victim he
generally blows out his brains.
Another fearful death is caused by
eating grain called "bhat.' This
sometimes gets mixed with rice, which
it resembles. The plant grows In the
far east, and few grains of it will
drive person into state of violent
mania The victim becomes drowsy
at first and afterwards hilarious; then
he goes raving mad, tears himself to
pieces with his fingers and bites

Is found only in the remotest parts

natives are killed by ii occasionally,

a man who for one Of his years has
passed through many thrilling eXper-

enlisted at the age of fifteen and as
trumpeter was assigned to duty on
the United States steamship Brook

Naval school at Annapolis.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war he was ordered to the
Brooklyn and landed at Manila. Here
under Major flaloway he served on

HISTORY OF THE LUMBER
INDUSTRY In THIS STATE

The history of the lumber Industry
in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois illus
trates the rise of a region to i'm
portance. its period or grea, produc-
tion, and the decline which rapidly
follows the exhaustion of its princi-
pal forests. These States have
played a great part in the country's
development. They We're for long
time the region of chief supply for
hardwoods.
For more than half century their
total output rose, and about 1900 it
reached high water mark, and then
fell off with astonishing rapidity.
Their output in 1906 was less than
half that of 1900, in spite of the fact
that much timber was Imported from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas. and
Missouri, and when manufactured
was credited as the production of
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois for the
year 1906.
When the pioneers first made their
homes in these States the timber was
an encumbrance, and the first thought
was TO get rid of it. They felled the
trees. piled the logs and burned them,
making use only of what they needed
for fences. buildings and fuel. which
was small quantity compared with
what they destroyed. A market grad
|ually grew up, and the lumber in
'dustry began to develop. AS early as
1910 sawmills were common west OF
the Ohio, and in 1850 Ohio rose to
fourth rank among the states as a
lumber producer, Indiana fifth and H.
linOis eighth. The only three states
above Ohio at that time We're New
York, Pennsylvania and Maine in the
order named, There are no satisfact-

MACHINES MUST HAVE
FIRE PROOF SURROUNDINGS
Moving Picture Outfits Constitute an Important Fire
Danger Because Films Used win Explode at
Comparatively Low Temperature.

The moving picture show has
achieved popularity more rapidly than
any other new form OF entertain
ment ever did. This is true the
world over. The Edison factory Is
turning out 150 machines a day. The
number of these machines in Ohio
being large, they constitute an inn
portant fire danger because the film,
which will explode at a compara-
lively low temperature, is exposed to
electric sparks and the heat from the
light which illumines It. Many OF
these theatres are in old buildings
where rent is low and nearly all are
In the business district where con-
flagration Is greatest. Two or three
such accidents occur each week in
the state and the fire loss from them
would be enormous but for the tact
thai the chiefs of fire departments
backed by the fire marshal have re-
quired that the machines have fire
proof surroundings, This precnuiion
will not prevent the stampeding of
lne duuItnCe NiSli al tNpipS''' w
ours and the fire is usually beside
the only exit.
ILLUSION OF ANIMATION.
The Illusion of animated motion in
the moving picture depends upon the
fact that the impression of light upon
the eye lasts one-seventh Of a sec
,ond after the light Is shut out. In
winking one does not notice that
sight is interfered with because the
impression on the retina persists long
enough to cover the time during which
the eyelid is down.
Necessary to the making .of fiTm
are theatre, actors. camera with
a rapidly moving shutter and eel
luloid ribbon coated with the compo-
Isltion used for making negatives.
When the act to be reproduced be-
gins the ribbon moves behind the
lens and a shutter flies open often
Ienough to make a picture on each
inch of the ribbon. In the kineto-
scope the ribbon is moved in front OF
a powerful light with the same speed
that it moved in the camera. So. the
time of movement in the figures
thrown upon the screen Is the same
as that of the living actors. The
time during which the eye retains an
impression Is as long as the time
taken lin changing one photograph
for the next. Everything to be seen
on the screen really happened once

lbe unwound from a metal box and
rewound in another

tomato shut-off to close it when the

New York,s HIGHEST Building.

"fIow high is it?" This question at
once directs thought to the Singer
building, in lower Broadway. The
question is asked by thousands of per-
sons crossing from the Jersey shore,
Il was asked the other day of a tall,
scholayly,looking man standing on the
upper dick of one OF the Pennsylvania
ferryboats. II do not know its exact
height" said the man addressed, but
this give as an opinion, that during
a heavy thunder shower the height OF
that building would make II entirely
possible for the sun to shine on the
roof while the lower stories are being
deluged by rain. The heavily laden
rain clouds are only about 500 feet
above the earth while the lantern of
the new Singer building will be al
most GOO feet high. The building will
tower high above the fog banks. I
venture to say, thus affording New
Workers one OF the features Of Switz-

for fine yield. Similar reports
are coming from various parts of
the county. The indications now
point to a good wheat crop in the
county.
