The Moods of Musicians.

Before the moods of genius the
world must ever bow in awe. for is it
not to the hayward wanderings from
the normal that inspiration itself is
due: says writer in London Lady.
The gloomy moods of Beethoven are
traditional. but every time they en-
wrapped his spirit there flowed from
his pen the most noble of scores.
Turning to Schubert. we find that it
was in the gay moods of the German
inn that his genius worked. Under
their sway the "Serenade" and many
other immortal themes were penned
on a tavern table, any scraps of paper
being used that came to hand. Pa
ganini was so wholly the victim of
moods that it was no unusual thing
for an audience to wait in vain for his
contribution to Il concert program.

the moment would impel him to re-

Our Shifting Seaport Trade.

OuA OAAAt4A5 0CdpOIO
The trend of the export trade away
from Atlantic ports and toward those
Of the gulf and northern border is
perceptible in the export record of the
fiscal year 1909, according to Wash
ington bulletin. 1t appears from sta
tistics given that the gulf ports are
the only group Of ports showing an
increase of exports in 1909 over those
Of 1908. The northern border and
lake ports declined a trife, but the
Atlantic ports, the Pacific ports aud
the Mexican border ports all show a
marked decline for the period.
Comparisons given in the bulletin
show that in the last two decades the
decline at the ocean ports has been
gradual and that the increase in trade
has favored ports on the gulf. the
northern border and the lakes. On
the import side the gulf, Mexican bor-
der, northern border and lake ports
all show gains much greater than the
ports Of the Atlantic and the Pacific
The principal articles in which the
drift seems to be away from the At

GOOD IN SPIDERS.

They Don't Bite and Do Kill Many In
furious Insects.
I think it can be said that there
never has been one absolutely anthem
tic case Of spider bite. The so called
spider bites rec we'd occasionally, and
generally in early summer. often in
bed. are inflicted by certain blood
sucking insects Of several species.
large and small. The mandibles Of
the average sized spiders are hardly
powerful enough to pierce the human
skin, and all of the poison contained
in an arachnids glands injected into
the flesh of a human bling will not
make as 1nuch fuss as respectable
bee sting Moreover. spiders are not
mammal bloodsuckers and wouldn't
bite if they could. So much for the
negative qualities of spiders.
If it were not for the spiders we
should all promptly starve to death.
perhaps this is little startling; it is
none the less true. TO enlarge upon
it, certain spiders prey upon certain
caterpillars. regularly inhabit their
abodes and kill so many Of them that
often whole colonies of the insects are
wiped out Of existence. These cater
pillars normally feed upon the leaves
Of trees. bushes and shrubs. frequent

were plentiful enough to exhaust their
common food they would turn to the
weeds and grasses. Without check of
any kind they would overrun the
earth and destroy every green and
growing thing. The spiders beauti-

Transformed Siberia.

Siberia has generally been looked
upon as cold, barren waste. Of which
the arctic was but an advance post.
Russia sent her undesirables there to
perish. Now comes Consul Ragsdale Of
st. Petersburg with the assertion that
Siberian winters are no worse than
those of northern Canada. which is
being rapidly settled by volunteers
from all over the world. The land, he
says, is as fertile as that Of Canada,
Illinois. Iowa or Nebraska and better
watered and timbered. The region
cannot long remain unpeopled, for the
governor Of Omsk reported an average
of 5000 emigrants day passing
through his town last year. Since 1885
the increase in emigrants has been
steady. and over 100000 souls have
entered Siberia from the west during
that period.
The consul describes cities along the
Siberian railway having population
of $4,000, with factories, stores, hotels
and theaters and electric lighting.
Buildings are up to date and streets
paved and improved The cities are
supported by the agricultural dis
tricts, which produce herds Of all
kinds and variety of crops. Coal.
iron and timber abound, and the land
is endowed with many navigable riv-
ers. American machinery is in gen
eral use, and large farms are cult
waited by single families, using the
American harvester, mower, hay rake
and gang plow. Uncle Sam generous
~ offers to furnish rules governing

ENGLISHMAN'S AEROPLANE
BEATS WRIGHT'S MACHINE
Captain of Engineers Makes
Flight of Twelve Miles

LONDON. May 5.-The Times prints
this morning a statement denying the
governments alleged apathy toward
aviation. 1t says that Captain J. W.
Dunno of the royal engineers, after
several years experimenting. made an
aeroplane that was superior to the
Wrights' machine. and in secret expert
ments in Scotland two years ago sue
ceeded in making a flight of Il miles
in a circular course. in which he proved
beyond a doubt, according to the state
ment, that in efficiency and ease of
control the wrights had been outdone.
That was the reason. says the Times.
that the war office has made no at
tempt to engage the services of the
wrights or secure their machine. A
new machine recently has been built
under Dunnes supervision at Fernbor-
ough and everything was prepared for
flights on a large scale when. a few
days ago. Dunno suddenly severed his
connection with the balloon factory.
Dunne's invention is a biplane. In
construction it diners from the aero
planes already known.
