Boston. July 8.-Mi1lions of dollars are involved in an industrial war just opened here between the United Shoe Machinery Company-The shoe trust and the Big T. G. Plant Company of Boston.

G. Plant person. ally. Then came the bill in equity by the shoe machinery company ask ing that the Plant company be re- strained from using any machinery other than that of the United and that MT. Plant be restrained from selling any of his machinery to the shoe company of which he is the head.

 sThe bill in equity which was filed by the United Comapny in the supreme court is the first legal action taken in the controversy It is returnable August 1 and will probably be but a skirmish in a long bitter war.

Spiders have Il number of ingenious
ways of alluring and catching their
prey. A writer in Popular Science de-
scribes an American spider which
haunts evergreen trees and snares its

The web Of the spider is triangular in
form. Two corners Of the triangle
are attached TO twigs. but the other
corner. which ends in a single thread.
Is held By the spider. perched on a

and the elastic threads instantly en-
