"one morning, when busy IN my
workshop" says naturalist, "a large
fly, double the size of bluebottle,
was caught In spiders web In the
window close to where was at work.
1t was held by two Of Its legs only,
and for some time the spider, which
was about the size of the fly's head,
proceeded to strengthen its hold by
attaching numerous extra lines to the
two captive limbs, carefully keeping
out Of reach Of the others, which were
letting out in all directions in frantic
efforts to escape.
During a short respite In the cap
tive's struggles the spider cautiously
approached, and with its hind legs
got several turns OF its tiny rope
round one of the limbs that were free.
These tactics we're carried on till all
the legs were firmly bound. 1t then
injected poison into one Of the legs.
This soon showed itself, for its dead.

poison paralyzes but does not kill.

PROFESSOR A HUMAN MAGNET
Able to Defect Compass by Simply
Touching Cover.

Is there such a thing as human
magnetism? DR.. Otto Neustatter, OF
Munich, writes: prof. Harnack, OF
Halle, last year demonstrated that he
is able to defect the magnetic needle
by stroking quite lightly with his fin
gernail the glass lid of well-con'
structed compass. He found great
differences ir. himself according to the
time of day, whether he had pre-
viously rested or worked, talked or
taken food. When the stomach was
empty or when he had talked much,
for Instance, the experiment did not
succeed; if he had eaten and drunk,
1t usually went very well. But among
many other persons he found only
very few who like him could perform
the experiment. He himself could
occasionally bring the needle to de-
Election by simply touching the com.
pass lid. He discovered also that the
keys which he had carried for some
time in his pocket and his keyrine
had become decidedly magnetic. On
his pocketknife the blade which he
regularly used, the nail file, as well
as pins that he frequently stuck into
his coat, had taken on the same prop

In Morris county, New Jersey, re

In his career, he carried along his

no man in New Jersey has more
splendid estate. 1t is situated in the
borough of Florham Park, near Madi

Part of it was his fathers farm and
If his paternal relative were to wake
from his last sleep he would not know
the place on which he tolled so hard
to make bare living, and on which
his life insurance son has spent mil
lions.
The private roads that rln through
this estate are macadam in construc-
ton and are 40 feet wide. There are
231a miles of them. They lead through
forests, which in their original form
were wildernesses, but by the Midas
touch of wealth are transformed into
parks. The Passaic river flows
through or by them, and its tributary
waters are held in check to make
lakes and ponds, which are stocked
With fish, and on whose surface fleet
ef small pleasure boats float. On the
side of the old COW barn Is reared a
clock tower 100 feet high, on whose
summit is recorded time, facing the
cardinal points OF the compass and
accented by a bell that chimes the
hours so that they are heard as far as
Morristown, Summit and Bernards-
Vile, 10 miles distant.
Fifty men are employed constantly
on the estate, sometimes 100 and even
more. The old farm blossoms under
the touch of wealth, and the farmer
boy coming home from the life insur.
ance building daily drives through the
| old cornfield, which is now a garden
| to a splendid big house where liveried
servants meet him and bow to him or
the very spot where he used to wash

lustration more marked of sudden
wealth brought home, none at least
which has such loyalty to its place ot
origin. DR.. Ward took practitioners
degree in medicine; that is, he was
| licensed to cure il he could, and pa

quirement of patients difficult and
sought employment from the newly
established insurance company as ar
examiner. 1t was not difficult mol
highly professional task, but as the
company grew his fortunes grew witt
it. So, as fortune came to him, he
has built up on the old homestead one
of the finest private estates in New
Jersey, If not in the United States
and all of it resting on the trifle called
industrial life insurance.
