of the horn, and the five are arranged
in a ring side by side with the honey

severe were they that sometimes l was
almost frantic l was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless: my memory
was poor, l trembled and my thoughts
were often confused.
MY wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these His and

times to do so, but was it's slave.
Finally Wife brought Il package of

which began Friday evening and con-
tinued until after 5 o'clock Saturday
morning there is reason to believe that
the drouth which had parched the soil
of the State of Maine for the past
seven weeks is a thing of the past and
that for the future conditions general
ly will be better. The rain began fall
ing in the early evening but tho storm
did not reach it's greatest intensity UNI
til after midnight. After that time
however and until about o'clock Sat
urday morning it came down in tor
rents 1t was estimated that more wa
ter came down during tina thine than
had fallen during the past seven
weeks. The storm was general and ex-
tended over the greater portion of the
State. 1t was a great help to vegeta-
ton and must have gone for toward
drowning cut the forest fires that have
been raging everywhere. Another brisk
shower Saturday afternoon added to
the good work.

Recent visitors at the State House
have had the opportunity of witnessing
the somewhat unusual spectacle of
spider and her young. The spider was
one of the larger varieties found in
Maine and is known as running
spider. They live in burrows in the
ground and are not in appearance I'M
like the tarantulas. They also carry
their young in the same way. When
captured the spider in question had
with her a basket" or receptacle
round in shape and about the size OF a
common marble. In color it was similar
to that of hornets nestr This was
not attached to the spiders body but at
the same time she manifested an at
tachment for it that kept her in close
touch with it the greater part or the
time, she generally holding to 1t with
her hind legs, but sometimes sne
would leave it for n fly that w&s drop
ped in her box. This basket was 1uli
Of eggs and after a few days tney
Matched. the young spiders coming
forth and climbing upon their mother
body and legs until she was coVereu
with a moving mass of them ana had
the appearance of having increased TO
almost twice her usual size. After the
Youngsters began to run around the
box they would use her legs to CLIMB
upon her back after they had finished
their explorations. and she would as
sist them in their work by lifting leg
loaded with them SO that they could
run down on her back instead OF
climbing up. The little ones grew rap
idly and as it was only a question or
time when they would fill the box COM
pletely. they were immersed. together
with their mother in alcohol. There
were in all 500 Of them.

Radium is still puzzling the French
scientists. The latest conundrum is,
"Where does it come FROM" One
scientist says that radium comes to US
from the sun in some form of solar
emanation. He does not believe it to
be something inherent in certain earth
born substances, such as the pitch
blend, from which it was first extract
ed. He thinks that it comes to earth
continually in infinitesimal quantities
with every ray of light, so to speak.

This accounts, he says, in a measure
for the traces of radium being con-
tinualy discovered in all sorts of
things, gaseous and mineral alike.
