THE SPIDER.

Il Differs From an Insect In Five Main
Particulars.
The spider is not an insect. though
probably nine people out Of ten would
class it under this term. With scor-
pions and mites spiders form q class In
the animal kingdom known as arach-
nida. This name is derived from a
mythical parsonage called Arachne.
the daughter Of a purple dyer Of Ly-
dia. who was tabled to have chal-
lenged Minerva to a trial Of skill in
spinning. So indignant was the god
dess at this act Of boldness that she
forthwith transformed the hapless
challenger into a spider. presumably
in order that she might have the best
possible opportunity Of practicing the
art on which she prided herself so
much.
Spiders differ from insects in FIVE
main particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead of compound. they have
eight legs in place of six. they do not
pass through the metamorphoses
which are characteristic Of insects.
they have no antennae and their
breathing is accomplished by means Of
organs which combine the functions
OF lungs and gills instead Of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
Of distinction are sufficient to deter
mine the fact that it is impossible to
class spiders as insects.

ex-governor st. John of Kan
sas, Makes Two Predic-
tons to Press.
WASHINGTON TO GO "DRY"
PRoHi6lTIONIST WORKER SAYS
THAT THE Ex-PRESiDENT IS
THE cLEvEREsT POLITICIAN IN
UNITED STATES.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 11,-John P. St.
John, formerly governor of Kansas.
who has come to Spokane to begin the
fight for prohibition in the state of
Washington, made two predictions in
the course of an interview:
Nothing except his death will pre-
vent the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt to succeed President Taft,
and if he is not elected no other repub-
licap can be.
Ten years hence there won't be 4
legalized saloon within the boundaries
of this commonwealth. Spokane will
be dry in five years from this time >
Mr.. ST. John said among other things
in speaking of Roosevelt and Taft:
Taft Is "Putty Man."
Theodore Roosevelt is the sharpest
politician in the United States. But
for him Mr.. Taft never would have
been thought of for the presidency.
Roosevelt knew Taft, believed him to
be an honest man and SO do l, but he
knew that Taft is a putty man. soft
putty at that. Roosevelt helped to
elect Taft. He knew that his admins
tration would be failure.
Roosevelt went off to Africa. He
is not mixed up in any of the questions
before the people today. In the course
of eighteen months he will return, COW
cred with rhino hides, elephant tusks
and glory. The howl and yell ele-
ment in politics will raise the cry for
Roosevelt. The country will go wild
over him. Nothing except his death
will prevent his nomination to succeed
Taft, and if he is not elected it will be
because no republican could win"

One Of the most interesting Of fish
Of japanese waters is the oriental sail
fish (Histiophorus orientalis). The
generic name. given by DR.. Guenther.
means the sail bearer and refers to
the huge dorsal I'm possessed by the
species.
The fin stands higher than the body
above 1t and is used as sail before
the wind. 1t is a large fsh. ten feet in
length and weighing 100 pounds. They
swim about usually in pairs in rough
and windy weather, with the huge fms
above the water.
1t Is favorite food fish. and the an
nual catch is nearly 100000 pounds.
The sail fish Is caught by means Of a
harpoon.
Another food Ash. known as a dol
phin or dorado. Is sometimes caught in
a curious way. The fishes congregate
under a decoy bush and raft made Of
bamboos and are then caught by hooks
baited with squids. or the decoy bush
is surrounded by a seine net. and the
dolphins are driven by beating the sur
face Of the water with sticks This fish
Is eaten both fresh and salt and Is as
great favorite In western Japan as
the salmon is in the northeast.-Zoolo-

ty-five mile drive was considered a
good animal, is now virtually ruined
and will be left at keystone for sew
eral days by Mr.. McMullen, in order
that it may rest up. Its ultimate re-
covery is considered doubtful. Cruise,
when apprehended, said he intended
driving the horse back after few

The "Picket."

The picket was generally inflicted on
cavalry and artillery men and was a
singularly brutal bit of torture. A long
post. near which stood a stool. was
driven into the ground. The delinquent
was ordered to mount the stool. and
his right hand was fastened to q hook
in the post by a moose. drawn up as
high as 1t could be stretched. round bis
wrist. A stump the height OF the stool.
with its end cut to u round aud blunt
point. was also driven into the earth
close to the post. Then the stool was
taken away. and the sufferer had moth
ing to rest his bare feet upon but the
stump. which. though 1t did not usu-
ally break the skim says Captain
Grose. put him in great torture. his
only means OF relief being by resting
his weight on his wrist. the pain of
which soon became intOlerable." One
can very well believe him. especially
when he makes the addition that q
man was not infrequently left to stand
in this position for half an hour. al
though the orthodox period Of endur-
ance was fifteen minutes. - London

A CAMEL STORY.

Fooled In Its Revenge, the Animal
Committed Suicide.
Some years ago it CHANGED that a
valuable camel working in an old mill
in Africa was severely beaten by its
driver. who perceiving that the camel
had treasured up the injury and was
only waiting favorable opportunity
for revenge, kept strict watch upon
the animal. Time passed away. The
camel, perceiving that 1t was watched.
was quiet and obedient. and the driver
began to think that the beating was
forgotten.
One night after a lapse Of several
months the man. who slept on a rails
ed platform in the mill. while. as is
customary. the camel was stalled In a
corner, happening to remain awake.
observed by the bright moonlight that
when all was quiet the animal looked
cautiously around. rose softly and.
stealing over toward spot where a
thrown careiessly on the ground. re-
sembled a sleeping figure. cast itself
with violence upon them. rolling with
all its weight and tearing them most
viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was CON-
plete. the camel was returning to its
corner when the driver sat up and
spoke. At the sound Of his voice and
perceivine the mistake it had made
the ANNA! was so mortified at the fail
ure and discovery of its scheme that it
dashed its head against the wall and
died on the spot.-Shef11e,d Telegraph.
