Spiders That Hunt Fish.

There are certain large sea spiders
two feet from toe to toe, called Colo
sendeis gigas, that live in the water
and feed entirely upon mollusks and
worms.
The carnivorous wolf spider, an am
phibieus inhabitant of the tropical re-
gions Of South America, is said to pre-
fer fish diet, though it is not averse
to eating mice, young birds and even
snakes, resembling in this respect the
theraphosidae, or bird catching spiders,
of India and Queensland, some OF
which equal a rat in size.
The collosendeis is the most formida-
BILE specimen of the spider family,
measuring six inches around the body
and possessing twelve long, hairy legs,
with which it grips its finny prey. 1t
attacks fish several times larger than
itself and after biting them through
the back and singing them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies of its victims.

door. Much to my. horror, the door
opened, and the maid came in to make
up the room, or at least so it seemed
to me. called out to her to leave,
and she did so. All this happened In
a minute or less, and fell asleep
again. When woke up remember

to look at the door, however, / found
that it was not only locked from the
inside with the key still in, but that
bolt also was shot. was sure that

asked her later about it she said
that she had tried the door from the
outside and, hearing me call out, had
departed. AS far as / can make out,
it must have been very complete hall
Inclination about seeing her, called up
in my mind in my sleepy condition by
my fear that she might enter. won

Perpetual Silence.

A curious mourning custom obtains
among central Australians, who, al
though representing perhaps the low
est and most degraded type Of human
beings, have managed to evolve most
complex system of rites and ceremonies
which governs almost every action of
their lives. When a husband dies the
widow paints herself all over with
white pigment and for the space OF a
year must not exhibit herself to male
member of the tribe on pain of death.
For the rest of her life. unless she mar
ries again, which is sometimes allowed.
she must not speak, but communicate
with the other women by means of a
sign language, consisting of movements
of the hands and fingers. which has
been developed by these sayages to
marvellous extent and by which their
limited stock Of ideas can be fully ex-
pressed.

Handling Firearms.

From Forest and Stream It is Of
ten asserted that the more one hand
les firearms, the greater his respect
for them. Proof of this is found in
the great scarcity of accidents on well
regulated rifle ranges and trap-shoot-
ing grounds. Millions of shots are
fired annually in competitions at fly
ing targets, without accidents of a
serious nature, and and on the, rife
ranges where group and individual
shooting is carried on at the same
time, enough lead is sent into the
backstops to annihilate an army. In
the majority of all the cases that have
come within notice during the past
quarter of century and they have
been remarkably few in number
those who have been injured violated
all the rules of safety and were them
selves to blame. II equal care were
exercised in the hunting fields the
number of casualties would dwindle.

Precious Stones and aPaste.D

Glass. or paste" as it is called, is
made which cannot when new be dis
tinguished from diamonds by any one
but an expert armed with the neces-
|sary tests.
And the same is true as to paste imi-
tations Of all precious stones excepting
the emerald (whose beautiful green
tint cannot be exactly obtained), the
cats eye. which has a peculiar fbrous
structure. and the opal. The real value
and quality Of precious stones as COM
pared with glass depend on their dura-
bility. their hardness, their resistance
to scratching and 'dulling" Of face
and edge.
Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors
made gems of glass and paste. It is
only in modern times that the art Of
making artificial precious stones has
reached degree Of perfection which.
SO far ais decorative purposes are con-
cerned. leaves the natural stones no
claim to superiority. London Tele-

LITERARY notes.
About Prohibition.

The rapid spread of prihibition
within the past few years, which has
reached the point where S. per cent.
of the territory of the United States
is said now to be dry" has attracted
tremendous amount Of attention not
only in states and communities where
the question of liquor selling has
come to a vote, but in every part of
the country and among every class
of people. The liquor men themselves
have recognized the seriousness of the
issue by the attention their various
organizations are devoting to means
OF preventing the further spread of
the movement. While much attention
has been given to the action Of state
after state in the South and communi-
ty after community in other parts of
the country in adopting legal means
to prevent the sale of alcoholic liq-
uors, there has been a great diversity
Of opinion as to the reason for the
rapid spread Of prohibitory enact
ments at this time. Various explana-
tons have been put forward eff.
feet of liquor on the negro in the
South, the interference of saloons in
politics, a reawakened moral sense,
and SO on. In the July number of Ap.
pleton's Magazine, however, a phase
OF the subject to which comparatively
little attention has been given is dis
cussed in an article entitled Does
Prohibition Pay?' In this article,
which is the first Of a series an
nounced by the magazine, the ground
Is taken that the real cause for the
spread Of prohibition is that more and

KILLING A WHALE.
Who're All Of the Boats Crew Looked
Like Murderers.

Where All Of the Boats Crew Looked
Like Murderers.
1t was my boats privilege to fasten
first, and we did SO in grand style, says
a writer in Forest and Stream. The
big fellow lay blowing in one position,
and we sailed on him head and head
and fastened to him with two har-.
poons. one of them being an explosive.
When he felt the iron he turned and
plunged under our boat and covered us
with the spray from his fukes as he
tossed them up In the air to dive. And
he did not stop, either. for our line
whizzed around the loggerhead, Civ
ing out a blue sheet Of smoke until the
end of it went by us like bullet. He
had gone down with our 300 fathems
Of line in less than minute.
In few minutes he appeared again
near one Of the other boats. and he got
two more harpoons. one of them exc
plosive, and then the other two boats
shot in and fastened with two irons
apiece.
Meanwhile the beast was coursing
around and spouting blood in frantic
manner, and it took six bomb lances
besides the eight harpoons to subdue
him.
Our next hit was made on the 9th,
when our boat fastened again. The
whale did not go very far this time,
but just circled around us in a short
line. Another whale from the herd
kept by him until the kill and then
made off to windward. The other boat
was off after some other whales. They
could have got him easily.
While we were tied to the dead whale
we made out his comrade coming down
to US at great speed, and it looked as
II he meant mischief. We hurriedly
cut adrift from our capture and, get
ting fresh harpoons and lances ready,
prepared for his onslaught. In min
ute he was close to us, and while he
stopped to take a look we jumped thu
boat ahead and darted two irons, whicA
started him of at high speed to wind
ward, and the people on the ship told
us afterWard that we literally skipped
from one sea to the next. All we weus
conscious of was the fact that the boa
simply rested on her keel, and the spra3
flew over us in great sheets.
At last he Stacked up and gave us a
chance to put in bomb lance. He
made a rush to leeward, to where we
| had left the dead whale, straight as a
die and right over him, dragging us
over, too, Of course, all the time spout
ing blood. Then he Owed under us and
came up with his blowhole right un
der the mates nose, who was looking
over the side for him., and he got thu
spout of thick blood right in the face
at less than yard distant. o.
course it spattered all Of us, and wheI
we hauled alongside with our tw'
whales we all looked as much lik'
murderers as anything else. The cap
tain was highly pleased with our per
Torrance, and he at once awarded on
mate the pig, for it had been put up a
prize.

Quick Wit.

Napoleon was pacing up and down
one day before his quarters, planning
probably some new scheme Of con-
quest. He dropped his glove, and a
common soldier happening along pick
ed it up and returned it to him.
'Thank you, captain" said the em-
peror absentmindedly, not thinking
that the man was only private.
"Of which company, sire?" put in the
soldier promptly, taking Napoleon at
his word.
"Come to me tonight and you shall
receive your commission" said the
great commander.
He knew that that common soldier
had the presence Of mind necessary to
make good officer.

more people are giving an affirmative
answer to the question as to whether
abstinence pays them in dollars and
cents. Rev. Charles F. Aked, pastor
of the church made famous by John
D.. Rockefeller's membership, discuss
es the moral aspect of the question
as applied to the individual, and
George G. Lawrence gives impressive
facts and figures as to whether drink
ers or non-drinkers are more success
full from the point Of view of earnings
and business efficiency. Later articles
are to take uup the question of wheth-
er prohibition has paid the states and
cities adopting it. This is an eminent
~ practical treatment of the subject
and is likely to throw much light on
the real reason for the recent pro
gress Of the prohibitory movement.

In the Coaching" Days.

An amusing story is told of the coach
which used to run between Edinburgh
and Berwick. A passenger complained
bitterly that the cushion on which he
sat was wet. 1t appears that there
was a hole in the roof, and through it
the rain was pouring copiously. The
passenger called the guard and in
great wrath reproached him. All the
satisfaction he got, however, was the
quiet and typical Scotch reply, "Ay,
mony ane has compleened ABBOTT that
hole. st. James Gazette.

Books In India.

In India the printed book is regarded
as vulgar if not irreverent, and no de-

The Recording Of Mining Locations

The Reno Gazette OF January l prints the following: An er-
roneous impression has been formed by a great many claim owners
since a recent decision was handed down by the Supreme Court in
regard to recording location certificates. It should be understood
that the decision does not in any measure abrogate the necessity of
recording, but is to the effect that it is not an essential condition to
the acquiring OF title. 1t is necessary only as a matter of proof,
thus making it the same in effect as the recording of a deed. If
the locator can prove by other means his right to the claim, and that
he has complied with the law in regard to the location work, he can
hold the claim Notwithstanding his failure to record.
The recording of the certificate of location is prima facie evil
dence that the location was properly made and the location work
performed in accordance with the law. If the certificate is not re-
corded the burden of proof falls on the locator to establish his title
to the claim. Negectng to record is to invite trouble and litigation.
Furthermore it is necessary to record with both the district and
county recorder. The wording of the statute in this regard is very
clear and reads as follows:
"Within 80 days of posting the location notice upon the claim,
the locator shall record the claim with the mining district recorder
of the mining district or county in which such claim is situated, by
a location certificate which must contain" etc.
