In ffty-four years of his Iife-he
was born in 1S49-W. Il. Henley never

fame of DR.. Lister had reached Hen
ley. and, penniless and almost friend
less. he determined to try Edinburgh
infirmary. Thither he Travelled third
class In physical suffering such as few
have known, and when he reached
the inhrmary his whole possessions
amounted TO II few shilllngs. His con-
tidence in Lister was justified. and his
leg was saved. He was aud remained
II cripple. but neither hopeless nor help

der these conditions suggested to Rob

THE SPIDERS THREAD.
Its Use by Astronomers In Their Study
of the Stars.

OF Ine OtdTS.
The threads of the garden spider are
fixed by astronomers in their tele-
scopes for the purpose of giving fine
lines to the field of view by which the
relative positions of stars may be ac-
curately measured.
For a century astronomers desired
TO make use of such lines of the great
est possible tlneness and procured at
first silver wire drawn out to the ex
treme limit Of tenuity attainable with
that metal. They also tried hairs one
five-hundredth of an inch thick and
threads of the silkworm's cocoon,
which are split into two component
threads. each only one two-thousandth tn
of an inch thick. But in 1920 an Eng
lish instrument maker named Trough

and has also advantages in its strength
and freedom from twist
In order to obtain the thread the
spider is carefully fixed on a minia-
ture rack, and the thread, which at
the moment of issue from the body is
a viscid liquid, is made to adhere to
a winder. by turning which the desired
length OF firm but elastic thread can
be procured. London Graphic.

Mythical Creatures of Japan.


The japanese believe in more myth

them are mythical animals without
any remarkable peculiarities of con
formation, but gifted with supernai
ural attributes, such as a tiger which
is said to live to be thousand years
old and to turn as white as polar
bear. They also believe in a multitude
of animals distinguished mainly by
their size or by the multiplication of
their members. Among these are SER

to swallow an elephant, foxes with
eight legs, monkeys with four ears.
