SPIDERS GEAR FOR MUSIC"
According to French Scientists Insect
Really Has No Conception Of
Harmony.

IT is true. perhaps. that some of
the overzcalous entomologists have
decided that spiders have "an ear for
music.' but there is little or no evil
dence to bear out their contention. 1t
is merely a pleasant supposition to
give their study entertainment
Professor Lecaillon. a distinguished
French scientist. who has given years
Of study and observation to the in
stlncts and so-called "ear for music
Of the spider, contends that the ap-
parent sensitiveness of this insect to
musical sounds has been wholly mis-
understood. He takes note Of the
fact that brother scientists think that
some species of the spider appear to
respond in strange manner to the
notes of certain musical instruments,
such as the plano. harp. flute. and vio-
lin. suggesting that they have some
kind Of instructive recognition Of the
sounds or the vibrations on which
they are based
Professor Lecai1lon says that wher
musical sounds are made close to the
SPIDERS den he Is not cognizant OF
anything like harmony. He thinks
the vibrations are merely carried
along the delicate strands Of his web
TO his parlor, apprizing him instlnc-
lively Of some sort Of a disturbance
at hts front door His sDidership
tiiereupon goes out to see what the
row Is about

the death Of Harry. The two broth

but before they left they went up TO
the attic OF the house Fred left his
brother for a few minutes to get
something downstairs. When he re-
turned he discovered Harry hanging
from a rafter He called to him but
received no answer. Around his neck
was a thin leather strap. such as the
boys use for their school books. Fred
cut this and his brother dropped to
the lloor dead. The only explanation
the police could get was that Harry
probably wanted to fool his brother
and make him believe that he had
hanged himself. He stood up on a
couch and may have slipped Off acci-

letter from the President was re-
ceiyed today naming the following as
commissioners
Judge Jos. NJ. Danders. DT. Garcia
Cardenas and Senorcz Amador and
SANTIAGO Gonzales.
All are prominent citizens of this
city. The news of the appointment
of a commission caused considerable
surprise as 1t is said to be the first
time in thirty years that the govern
ment has thus treated with insur-
rectos.
The commissioners. among other
things, will endeavor TO ascertain just
what grievances affllct the revolu-
tionists. Terms of peace will be dis
cussed and report made to the ma
tIonal capital The insursgent will be
given to undertand that IT, they per
ist in bearing arms against the gov
ernmeut, they will be given a lesson
which will leave the state of Chih-
uahua i'm peace for many years.
