 Bridgeport clashcs with Waterbury next Tuesday night and although we do moi desire to sec Bridgeport within tho danger limit, we hope that they win the series.
 Tho Hartford aggrcgatlon which at present leads the league, will play the tailenders next Tuesday night at New Britain.

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
phibous inhabitant of the tropical re
gions of South America, is said to pre-
fer fish diet, though 1t 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 stinging them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies of it's victims

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
Striking Examples That May Be os'
served In Daily Life.


Doubtless every one has observed
while travelling by train that the trees
or houses in the distance appear to be
speeding along in the same direction
as the train, while the nearer objects
are fast receding. Many, too, have OBJ
served that the top of level wall
built on steep incline appears TO
slope upward in a contrary direction
to the hill itself at nearly the same
angle to the apparent level, and some
have curiously regarded the ghostllKe
gliding and vanishing of dark shad-
ows while passing double row OF
fencing, but the following are not SO
commonly remarked:
One might stand for several minutes
watching the revolutions of the cups
of an anemometer-for measuring tna
velocity of the wind-and still be puz-
zled as to the real way they are turn
ing round. Gaze up at them when
there is an uncertain breeze blowing.
They revolve rapidly, and you are per-
haps perplexed as to their direction.
As the wind subsidies you would expect
to find it easier to tell the direction by
the slower revolution; but, as matter
of fact, the difficulty is increased.
With the varying speed your first I'M
preston is that such and such is the
direction. A moment later you reverse
that idea, and the longer you gaze the
more it seems as if they are spinning
round erratically in every possible di-
rection, whereas, of course, they can
only turn one way.
Standing Immediately beneath high
wall of a building-the longer the wall
the better for practical demonstration
many would aver on looking upward
that it was not exactly perpendicular,
but inclined toward them in threat
ening manner This Illusion is the ef-
feet of perspective and would be seen
to better advantages4if you stood be-
tween two such walls which faced
each other at short distance. - New
York Telegram.

AWAY BELOW ZERO.
The Awful Cold That Comes With
Eighty Degrees of Frost.

1t Is difficult to form any conception
of the degree of cold represented by 80
degrees of frost that at times prevails
in certain parts of Russia. Sir Leopold
McClintock tells US how in one of his
arctic expeditions a sailor was foolish
enough to do some outdoor work at
precisely this temperature His hands
froze, and when he rushed into the
cabin and plunged one of them into a
basin of water so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly converted
into block of ice
At 25 degrees, DR.. Kane says, ''the
mustache and underlip form pendu-
lous beads of dangling ice. Put out
your tongue, and it instantly freezes to
this icy crusting. Your chin has a
trick of freezing to your upper jaw by
the happy aid Of your beard. My eyes
have often been so glued as to show
that even wink was unsafe"
During theatrical performance Civ.

temperature of 30 degrees "the con.
densation was so excessive that we

dish Of potatoes. Any extra vehemenct
Df delivery was accompanied by vol

Discovering Writers.

The rejection Of manuscript often
left pang, but the acceptable manu-.
script, especially from an unknown
hand, brought glow of joy which
richly compensated me for all suf.
fered from the others. To feel the
touch never felt before, to be the first
to find the planet unimagined In the
illimitable heaven Of art, to be in at
the dawn Of new talent, with the
light that seems to mantle the written
page, who would not be an editor for
such privilege? l do not know how
It is with other editors who are also
authors, but can truly say for my.
self that nothing of my own which l
thought fresh and true ever gave me
more pleasure than that got from the

young writer revealing his power~-

STAMM ERlNG.

Defective Vocal Organs.

Caused More Often by Habit Than by
Defective Vocal Organs.
sStammering Is often more the re-
suit of habit than from any defect OF
the vocal organs" says an authority.
ssIt is generally, If not always, caused
by a spasm of the larynx, resulting
from nervous contraction Of the OF
gans, thus refusing to permit proper
flow of the air current producing tone.
People rarely or never stammer when
singing, for then the attention Is di.
vided between words and music, this
nervousness is momentarily forgotten
and the passage Of the air current
through the larynx Is continuous and
unobstructed.
"Stammering very often Is the re-
suit of imitation sometimes intention.
al, sometimes unconscious, and the af.

might be supposed. In one compare.

II Has Been Known Since the Earliest

A few winters ago l passed a day
among the wonderfully decorated
tombs In the cemetery Of what was
once Memphis, upon the western bank
Of the Nile, writes julius Chambers
In the Brooklyn Eagle. One Of the
show places is the remarkable under
ground palace that the illusrtous
Queen tt of the fifth dynasty q. e.,
about 4,5O0 years ago. constructed for
her final resting place. 1t consists Of
q great court 40 by 60 feet, as ! re-
member, and several other apartments,
besides the mummy chamber, which Is
reached by a stairway leading down
from the largest room. Upon tho
walls of this tomb are the best pre-
served pictures to be found In all
Egypt, and among them are the fig
ures of two artisans working upon
coverings for the feet.
Therefore, makers of shoes, sa-
lutte you More than 1000 years be-

that the decorator of Queen It's tomb
was almost a publisher, your art was
