SWITCHMEN DECIDE
IN FAVOR OF STRIKE

Chicago, February BY a reported
vote of 1907 to 81, switchmen, members of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
of eighteen Chicago railroads. decided in
favor of a strike. The vote was an
nounced today by f. A. Whitney. vice
president of the Switchmen's union.
At recent conference between rep
resentatives OF the union and railroad
officials, an increase in wages was re-
fused. The roads made certain conces-
sions in the working rules and offered to
submit the wage question to arbitration
under the Erdman law. The ewitchmen
say they do not wish arbitration, but it
is generally believed by the railroads
that the question will be settled by that
method and there will be on strike.

Clever Spiders.

A naturalist took a large spider from
his web under the basement Of a mill,
put him on a chip of wood and set him
afioat on the quiet waters Of the pond.
He walked all about the sides of his
bark, surveying the situation very care
fully, and when the fact that he was
really atioat and about a yard from
shore seemed to be fully comprehend
ed be looked ont for the nearest land.
This point fairly settled upon, he i'm
mediately began to cast a web for 1t.
He threw 1t as far as possible in the
air and with the wind. IT soon reached
the shore and made fast to the spires
Of grass. Then he turned himself about
and In true sailor fashion began to
haul I'm hand over hand on his cable.
Carefully he drew upon 1t until his
bark began to move toward shore. AS
it moved the faster, he the faster drew
upon it to keep his hawser taHt and
from touching the water. Very soon he
reached the shore and, quickly leaping
to terra irlna, sped his way homeward.
Thinking that he might be a special
expert In that line Of craftsmanship
to the rest Of his companions. the rat
uralist tried several spiders. They all
cante to shore In like manner.

Tho First Writinu Pen.

The reed. which was the first pen in
use. was a sort of bulrush growing in
many parts of the east. These reeds
were cut in the manue of q quill and
ARE still used In lands where the peo-
pie write the Arabic characters. M
lions which have adopted the Chinese
characters use a eamel's hair pencil,
which is held perpendicuiarly in the
hand. This would seem little adapted
for rapid writing, yet the Chinese
write their complicated characters by
means Of these implements with a ra-
pidity seldom equaled by European
writer's.
The quill appears to have been first
in use about the year 900. The word
'penna." meaning d quill. Is not found
In any work older than that period
Previous To that we find usually the
word ''caIamus,' a reed, The quill Is
finer and more lasting than the pen,
the same quill often serving for weeks

his work with a single pen and cele'
