or desertion and tells the story to the
court in a business-like way. The
uniformed stranger, strolling into
the courtroom, easily might think the
dispute was over a grocery bill or
ruined gown, rather than ruined
life. The law says she may have
divorce, and she proposes to get it.
That is all. If her husband has
good position or bit of property, she
asks for alimony. The struggle for
some form of maintenance sometimes
becomes strenuous, showing that the
woman regrets the loss of the man
who has been her support rather more
than the loss of the man who has
been her husband.
All this is like a comic opera, but 1t
makes Cupid weep. He has been tell
ing the world for thousands of years
that marriage is sacred institution,
and now he first discovers that it Is
joke.

The most notable case of the year,
perhaps, was the international tragedy
of the Castellanes. For years the
world had witnessed the extrava-
gances and indiscretions of Count
Boni and wondered how much longer
the poor countess would endure them
for the sake of her children. Ameri-
can sympathy, almost without eXcep-
tion, has been with Anna Gould, for
however much Jay Gould, the rail
road magnate, may have been dis
trusted, his daughters always were
popular. Count Castellane was a RI
diculous joke to people who took life
lightly and an exaggerated villain to
those who took it seriously.

Four Times as Many Separations.

Four Times as Many Separations.
Among the more famous Chicago
cases of the year might be mentioned
that of Clarence Eddy, the organist.
This was musical romance, in which
the first discCrd was struck after near.
ly 80 years of married life. The "ar.
tistic temperament" of the great or.
ganist is mentioned, in connection
with the domestic unhappiness. Cupid
has had trouble from time immemorial
with the artistic temperament. The
separation of the Eddys occurred in
Paris, and Mr.. Eddy first brought suit
in Chicago, but afterward dismissed
his case and secured the divorce in
South Dakota last summer.
The list of the years domestic trag,
edies might be continued almost end.
lessly. 1t is no wonder that Cupid
weeps. Efforts are being made by di.
vorce congresses and reformers to
cure the evil by national divorce
law. 1t is claimed that if the road
to separation were made more diff.
cult to travel there would be fewer
divorces and perhaps less unhappi.
ness.
In recent years, while the popula.
ton was increasing 80 per cent, the
number of divorces has risen 300 per
cent. The disproportion is increas'
ing rapidly. If it keeps on for another
generation there will be divorce for
every marriage.
Meantime detected Cupid ponders
the case. He knows how to make
people fall in love and marry, but he
can find no way in which they may
be happy though married. He doubts
much if legislation against divorce
would compel them to continue to
love one another.

Some Web WeaVers.

A group called the round web weav-
ers live about houses.
Three brown kinds (Fpeira) hide In
cracks, and at night make their round
webs in porches. They live in these
circular nets with back or head
downwards. The legs are long and
often spiny. Some have humps or
spines on the abdomen. which is often
marked with a bright triangular pat
tern. Their webs consist of two spirals
an inner, that begins in the center
and winds outward; and an outer spiral
that begins at the edge of the web and
winds inward The inner spiral is so
smooth that dust will not stick to it:
the outer is elastic and covered with
fine drops of a sticky liquid to catch
insects.
On the outside of houses are to be
found also numerous web-weavers (Dic-
tynidae) that have, besides the six
spinnerets common TO other spiders,
fiat, wide spinning organ called the cri-
bellum in front of the others, and COW
cred with finer spinning tubes, besides
a row of hairs (the calamistrum) on
the hind legs. This is used to draw out
a loose band of silk from the spinner
cts. They spread their webs wherever
there is room for them.
OTouno spiders.
A group called the ground spiders
(DraSSidae) live on the ground or in
bushes, with nests in the form of
bag or fiattened tube. These are about
three times as long as they are wide,
with legs of about equal length; they
are of a velvety appearance: the feet
have two claws with a brush of fiat
tened hairs under them. The colors
are dull gray, brown or black.
Another group living on the ground
are the Licosa genera, which include
our largest spiders allied to the Eu-
ropean tarantula, already described.
The Flower Species.
Among the flowers, in which they
live. are the MisumeBas, one of which
is sometimes half an inch long. its
legs spreading an inch and a half
White or with two crimson spots on
the abdomen and one between the
eyes, and the sides of the thorax dark
ened a little with yellow or brown, and
with white portions in its face, it is
Snowy as well as a comOmn kind. The
males mature early, remain small, and
are variously colored with spots and
bands. The females grow to several
times the size of the males. The female
is always considerably larger than the
male spider, but here the disparity is
exceptional. The Misumenas stand
among flowers and wait for their insect
prey.
I find Emerton's Common Spiders"

American species, a good help. Pro-
fessor Chamberlin, our local authority,
