nished, now comes not the least important
part, the building of the trap door. Here
is displayed the ingenuity, skill and fore
sight Of the trap-door spider.
Water, air and dust must be kept out,
and as the door is even with the ground
surface and TO all intents and purposes
an undisturbed part Of 1t, the faculties of
the spider are taxed to the Utmost.
The fit of the door must be so perfect
as TO exclude the air quite as perfectly as a
preserved can of fruit a housewife has put
fectly rounded that when the trap door
fits in and rests upon the curved shoulder
the naked eye fails TO detect the joint ex-
cept upon the closest inspection. The
sharpest pointed knife blade finds no lodg-
ment in the crevice.
No bill of a road runner or a sickle bill
thrush can make any Roadway in prying
open that vault cover, even If the spider
home is detected. which is not often the
case. The trap door must be strong enough
to resist the tapping of an inquisitive road
runner who at times tests the engineering
Of the spider TO the utmost.
Again the trap door is even with and a
part OF the earth and must bear the weight
Of anything, animal or human. passing
over. The heel of a heavy man makes no
impression upon his entrance to the spi-
der's domain. The inside OF the door is
rounded like the end of al egg, the strong
est construction known.
The query now comes up as to how the
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-17

remains open. The spring hinge in some
manner is set with a hair trigger. And
there is a reason.
The spider while preying upon flies and
small insects knows only too well that he
is Grdently sought for by scorpion, cent?
pedc, road runner. sicklebill thrush and
other enemies. Vigilance Of the most eter-
nal kind is the price OF his life.
He must therefore keep his avenue Of re-
treat open and his bridges in good order
for a quick escape if the enemy presses
too closely. It's a run for mis- life where
every fraction of a second counts. When a
lCng-legged, fleet-footed road runner espies
lin he must not tarry on the way,
Through the thickest of the chapparal he
takes mis- flight. the better to impede or
delay pursuit, and when the goal is
reached like the flash Of an electric spark
he has descended into his ~caisson. the
door Instantly closing snugly upon him.
Now is the time that tries his soul. The
road runner has seen his retreat and at
once sounds the ground with his sharp
bill to break in and seize his prey. But 1t
is Of no use. The firm. tough abode re-
sists the repeated blows of the horny bill
OF the bird and he goes 10 other pastures,
giving the spider a new lease OF life.
Not content with all his provisions for
safety the spider must, like the hero Of
old, thrust his arm through the door fast
ening in lieu of a bar and hold his castle
entrance against intrusion. Nests dlscov-
cred and pried open with difficulty by a
knife blade have disclosed the fact that

straight downward until at six, seven or
eight inches down he ceases his work.
The main excavating Is done. The hole
is beautifully rounded and ends in a
smooth cul-de-sac at the bottom.
The opening made in the earth the next
thing is to insure It against dampness, for
when the rain comes even the dry adobe
tries to drink in the water that all the
surrounding land thirsts for.
What kind Of cement and how 1t is mixed
the writer does not essay to explain, but
from top TO bottom of that caisson is laid
on a coating of cement quite as imperyious
to moisture as any cement ever laid by the
hand of man. This is plastered on with the
greatest care and more smoothly than if

And when the job is done his house is
waterproof beyond question. When the
cement dries expansion and contraction

for not a crack shows anywhere In the
walls. There is no settling, no swelling
no receding OF the structure.
The plastering done, the house walls are
now TO be tapestried, TO be made snug and
warm. So from top to bottom a coating
OF downy substance is laid on, something
similar to the material that makes up the
hornets nest but of a much finer,
smoother texture This is laid on with the
greatest care and precision and when done
it is a job we'll done, so much so that one
might well envy the spider family in its
fresh. snug home.

first time at the second Vancouver game
and was given chance to work with
the varsityira place of Cass toward the
end of the game.
According to all present indications
Worswick and Cass are at a standoff
for the open position. Cass showed him.

work against Vancouver Saturday, and
Worswick has demonstrated his ability
to hold down the duties of serum half

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Nov. S.-The prac-
tical admission of the California State
league, an outlaw circuit, to the
National Associate of Major Leagues
and Minor Baseball Leagues was the
result of the first days session of the
national board of arbitration here to-
day. The board spent the day dis
cussing the terms under which the
Californians Will be admitted.
J. II. Ferrel secretary of the ma
tional association, and Frank Hermann,
president of the California State league,
were appointed a committee to draw
up the agreement under which the new
league is to be admitted. The agree
ment viii be submitted to the national
board and If improved by that body
will then go before the entire associa-
tion tomorrow for final action,
J. Cal Ewing. president of the Pacific
Coast league, and Hermann had a
conference before the question went
before the national board. 1t was de-
cided that the new league shall share
three cities with the Pacific coast or
ganization. Nonconflicting schedules
are to be fixed and San Francisco, Oak
land and Sacramento will have two
teams as a concession to get the Cali
fornians into the field. This agreement
was approved by the board. Stockton.
Fresno and probably San Jose will be
the other cities to make up the six
club circuit of the California State
league.
The title to 81 players will be de-
cided by the national board and the
title to five players by the national
commission.
These players are men who are
