AUTUMN WILD FLOWERS.
Fine Exhibition at the Otis Library,
Others Having Been Shown in Sea-
son.

The patrons of the Otis library have
been greatly attracted during the sum-
mer BY the wild flowers which have
been on exhibition there and these
have included the rarest to be found
in and about this locality, from the
delicately tinted early flowers to those
of autumn. Among the latter there
are now on exhibition: Spiranthes
Cernua. lady's tresses: Pedicularis
Ianceolata swamp betony: Gentiana
coinata fringed gentian; Parnassias
grass of Parnassus; Aster novae-an-
gliae, New England aster, which go
far toward disa busing the generally
accepted idea that spring is the only
season for wild flowers

This Wasplike New Zealand insect
Feeds on Spiders.
New Zealand boasts Of a hy that
feeds on spiders.
This dy Is black and wasplike ADD.
like the wasp. lives In nest OF clay
built In crevice. preferably In the up
per folds Of heavy window curtains.
This Is one Of the great annoyances Of
the tidy housekeeper In New Zealand.
Trv as she will, it Is almost impossible
for her to keep these dies from setting
mp their homes at the tops Of her cur
tains.
These nests Of clay are made up Of 4
series Of separate cells. usually from
five to eight in number. When the nest
is built the fly goes after spiders.
1t has no trouble In conquering thu
spinners Of silky webs. They succumb
more easily than do the American flies
which are so unfortunate as to get tan.
gled in spiders weaving.
The fly carries the spiders to its
home and imprisons each one tn cen
Here the fly lays q single egg. and
when the grub patches out It eats the
spider that has been provided for it.
When its food is all gone the mother
fly goes out and catches another spi.

young dy is old enough to catch sni.

Tho Noise Habit.

A personal experience first showed
the writer the possibility Of state OF
affairs where the habit of noise could
become as fixed as the habit of drug.
Waking one night in the quiet of a
country house far from other habita'
lions. suddenly heard the starting o.
the hot air engine which pumped the
water-chug, chug. chug, chug. l lay
listening to it's monotonous vibrations
and wondering at the unusual hour
for pumping until l fell asleep. The
next night the sound was repeated.
On mentioning the matter to my host
he confessed that he could not sleep in
the quiet of the country; that the sud-
den change from the roar of great
city to the silence Of the woods was so
great as to cause him real suffering.
Az his only way to rest he would leave
the house in the middle Of the night,
start up the pump and. lying down In
a nearby hammock, find sleep brought
him by the lullaby Of the hot air en-

the noise habit and finally conquered

SEAWEED.
Several Varieties Are Valuable Fer
Food Purposes

Food Purposes
Seaweed is not much to look at, but
seaweed does not depend so much upon
beauty as upon more substantial merit
to make itself worthy Of attention.
Various species Of it are used in manu-
features, and several varieties are edi.
bic, the most important of the latter
being Irish or carrageen moss, used In
the preparation Of jellies--blancmange,
for instance-dulse or dillesk, very
highly thought Of by Scotland, partic.
ularly when roasted by wrapping about
hot tongs, and kelp or tangle.
Irish moss and some other species.
particularly eel grass and fat stalk rock
weed, have been found valuable as
cattle food, especially when boiled to
destroy the rank taste and mixed with
meal. The eel grass and rock weed
compare favorably with hay as regards
the most important constituent-pro-
tein-containing 6O3 and 8.21 per cent
respectively. They are deficient in fat,
but contain large amount Of ash.
The great bulk of the seaweed gath
cred, however, is used as fertilizer,
and the average seaweed contains
large quantities of all the essential fer
tilizing elements. Allowing 10 cents q
pound for nitrogen, 2 cents a pound
for phosphoric acid and cents
pound for potash-and these are as
low prices as it is possible to procure
those materials in any form-a ton Of
seaweed containing so per cent water
Is worth as fertilizer $1.42 tom

HAUNTED ALASKAN ISLAND.

Ghosts Of Russian ExiIes Who Died q
Starvation or Torture.
To the south and west of Kodiak,
distant about 100 miles and forming
one Of the Semidi group. is the islan
Of Chirikof. the haunted island OF
Alaska.
Enshrouded for great portion Of
the time with almost impenetrable fog.
this lonely isle Is an object of terror to
the natives. who claim it is haunted
by the ghosts of Russian exiles.
The natives vill not go near the is
land. saying 1t means certain death to
invade the canny confines. and there
arc few men in the far north who have
the temerity to test the truth Of the
many and weird tales told of this for
bidding and barren island.
Shipmasters and sailors passing the
place assert that the agonizing cries of
exiles sent there to starve or
die by torture are sometimes heard
on quiet nights. while the clink Of
chains and the sound of blows are tes-
titled to in an affidavit by white man
who once attempted to remain there
for week and who nearly lost his
reason,-Tanana Tribune.
