Poison Of the Confined.

The centiped is popularity supposed
to carry sting on each foot. but
have several times handled one after
its head was removed without the
claws producing any result. 1t is the
first pair of claws only that are ven
omous, being hollow and provided with
poison bags like a snakes fang. The
largest i ever saw was eleven inches
in length, a grewsome creature. A bite
from one of this size would most like
ly have been fatal to a man in weak
health. The tarantula. though his
powers Of offense are nothing like
those of the scorpion or centiped. Is,
however. more unpopular character
than either. The horror of these large
spiders entertained by many people Is
curious and unaccountable. have
seen Australian bushmen, who IN
everyday life scarcely seemed to un.
derstand danger, turn white as sheet
at the sight Of small "triantelope, u
as they called it.-Chambers' Journal.

OBITUARY.

Our community has met with a sad
loss in the death of Mrs. Nancy Carson
Witherell which occurred Wednesday
March Both 1910. Mrs. Witherell deserv-
es more than passing notice. She be-
longed to that class of persons that were
always doing for others, in time of need
in sickness and death, Always willing
to do for those afflicted and while her
strength lasted to serve and care for all.
A kind neighbor, true friend, and as
such she will be missed. Since the
death of her husband several years ago,
she has had home with friends all of
whom were glad to welcome her Had
she lived until July she would have been
81 years Old. The funeral was held from
the Birchard homestead at 80 p. m,
Friday. Rev. Mr.. Waite officiating
The interment was at Lake View ceme-
terry.

Tho Size Of the Sea.

The Pacific covers 6S,OOO,0OO,
the Atlantic 30,000,0OO and the In
dian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic
100000 square miles.
To stow away the contents of the
Pacific it would be necessary to fill
a tank one mile long, one mile wide
and one mile deep every day for 440
years. Put in figures, the Pacific
holds in weight 948,O00,O00,000,-
0O0,0O0,O0O tons. It would take
about 100000 years for all its wa
ter to pass over the falls Of Niagara.
The average depth Of the Allan
tic is not quite three miles. Its wa
tiers weigh $4,000, 100000, 100000
tons, and a tank to contain it would
have each of its six sides 40 miles
long. The figures Of the other
oceans are in the same startling pro-
portions. It would take all the
sea water in the world about 2,O00,-
600 years to flow over Niagara. A
tank to hold it all would have to
measure nearly 1000 miles along
each of it's sides.
