covered fascination in the work, and
conceived the idea Of reconstructing
the most historical portions of the
capital. Il was merely to crafty a

which were on view at the Franco

result. The prophecy OF the friend
was more than fulfilled. The re-

SPIDER IN A BOYS EAR
His Head Swollen TO Abnormal Size
and Doctors Fear He VIII Die

Oxford N. j., May lS.-The life of
six year old David Bell of this place
is threatened by black spider which
has been inside his ear since Monday.
The physician in charge of his case
expresses the belief that the insect,
which he has been unable thus far
to reach, is still alive and that it has
bitten the inside of the ear cavity in
many places. The child's head has
swollen to an abnormal size.
The boy is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Bell of Buttsyille avenue. He
was playing about the yard on Mon
day, when the spider lighted on his
ear and bit It. AS he lifted his hand
to brush the insect off It darted into
his ear. The youngster has been in
great pain since that time.

With the aid Of extensive charts. Mr..
Alsberg explained a number Of tests for

as the most reliable. The degree Of
acidity, he said. constituted a safe index

He reviewed the nature Of pellagra,

and under what conditions. He observed
that the victims OF pellagra belonged to
the poorer classes of people and lived on
corn.
Mr.. Dewey advanced the proposition
that gold was soluble in highly heated

untenable. Extensive experiments have
been made by Mr.. Dewey along this line.
