Troublesome SPIDERS
Spiders once caused the Argentine re-
public not little trouble. Not that
they were in any way dangerous or de-
structive in themselves. The grievance
was simply that they would spin webs.
Any one who has gone across the fields
on an autumn morning before the sun
has dried the grass will remember how
the dew sparkled on the spiders webs
stretched across the grass and the
bushes. 1t was just this dew on the
webs that caused the trouble in the Ar
gentine republic
There the web spinning spiders are
so plentiful that they have, on one occa-
sion at least, completely demoralized
the telegraph service. They would spin

not get it this week keep on trying.
Perhaps you will be successful next
time. The Junior follows the fairest
possible method of awarding it's prizes.
All answers must be spelled cor

MAKING ROMAN CANDLES.

Indispensable Adjuncts to . Proper
Fourth of July,
In America the manufacture OF nre.
works has become almost fine art,
and no doubt the youth of our country
could find this sort of expression for
their patriotic enthusiasm on the
Fourth Of July without drawing on the
products Of foreign ingenuity. A
glance at the catalogue Of any one Of
the twelve or fifteen large firms en-
gagged in making fireworks in this
country discloses almost endless Lists
Of devices.
Every one knows what Roman
candle is, but few know how this In
dispensable adjunct of q Fourth Of
July celebration Is made First Of all
In the making comes the pasteboard
cylinder. which Is plugged up at one
end with clay. After the clay comes
small charge Of powder. Then q
Star" Is pushed down tight on the
powder, and charges of powder and
stars alternate until the scylinder ii
filled. Then fuse Is attached which
communicates with the powder near
est the top OF the cylinder. which.
when 1t Is exploded. sends Its star
sailing upward. A fuse running
through the candle connects other
charges Of powder with the first and
explodes them one at a time. each one
shooting out the star which Is next
above It. &
The stars are made OF chemical mix
lures, which vary with the colors
which are produced. A red star ID
sometimes made by mixing four parts
Of dry nitrate Of strontia and fifteen
parts of pulverized gunpowder. Cop

iRosin, salt and small quantity Of

of zinc change 1t to blue. and another
