Why Spiders Eiuht

When two spiders fight there is gen.
orally good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
a certain time spiders become inca
pable of spinning a web from lack of
material. The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited; therefore spiders can.
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed. But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighbors, and this they do without
scruple. AS soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become ex-
hausted and it's last web destroyed it
sets out in search of another home,
and unless it should chance to find one
that is tenantless battle usually en-
sues, which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender.

Employment Devised For Abandoned
Tin Shoppers For Bottles.
The latest home industry is making
doormats from the tin shoppers of
beer and other bottles. Boys and girls
all over New York are collecting the
shoppers, and if the fad continues bot
tie stopper doormats are likely to be
a drug on the market
The shoppers are nailed to a board
with the tops downward, leaving the
rough underside up. They are placed
closely together and will quickly take
off and receive all dirt and mud from
shoes scraped on them. They form
most effective doormat, are very
simple and cost little or nothing. Any
body with a board, tacks and the STOP
pers can make a doormat Of this kind.
Where the idea originated is not
known, but with it use has been found
at last for the shoppers of beer and
other bottles which have been hereto
fore thrown away.

SEES THROUGH GLASS EYES.
Artificial Substitutes For Natural
Lenses Provo Successful.

DR.. William G. Winslow Of Boston,
noted writer and former Episcopal
minister, who lost his eyesight four
years ago, has recovered his vision
Two artificial glass lenses have been
substituted for the natural lenses, and
he can see through them.
With the cataracts the natural
lenses of his eyes were removed.
Glass lenses were substituted. These
serve as we'll as the real ones. The
operation is regarded as one Of the
most remarkable ever performed and
is the first Of it's kind. The glass
lenses flash to the brain the picture
upon which the eye rests. Without
them there is nothing but glare of
light.
The smallest and most delicate
knives imaginable were used in the
operation. 1t was very difficult to
find a suitable antiseptic, the organism
being so delicate. The surgeons used
white of egg and nitrate of silver.
Cocaine was used as a local anaes-
thetic.

Chang, after concluding the treaty of
Shimonoseki, was presented by the
empress with a cloth Of gold bag con
tanning some heavy article. The treas
ure turned out to be large vase, and
Ii, who was an enthusiastic collector
of Chinese ceramics, at once sent for
his secretary, Mr.. Pethick, to come
and examine the new acquisition. !
Some time was spent in a careful
examination to determine the dynasty
during which this treasure was pro-
duced, but the date of this especial
paste was lost, with it's other technical
classifcations. After a long time Mr..
Pethick lifted it gingerly, placed it on
a table, put himself in front of it,
drawing a wrap round his shoulders,
and slowly, very slowly, held his
hands up to it, turning them in the
attitude Of warming at fire.
Chinese need few words. Ii under
stood and was heartbroken. The pan
tomime indicated to him that the sup
posed priceless vase was only a clever
reproduction made in Paris, and the
secretary, warming his hands before
it, meant it was so fresh from the
pottery furnace that he could still
notice the warmth.

ENGLISH Cav Pines.

The clay pipe, which is vanishing
from the Fleet street chophouse, was
the only variety smoked in this coun-
try until quite recent times. The clay
pipe made it's appearance in England
in the later years of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Writing about a century later,
a French author remarks that the
English invented the pipes of baked
clay which are now used everywhere ,"
''Broseley, in Staffordshire, has been
famous for it's pipes and clay from the
days of Eliza beth,' writes w. A. Penn
in 1.-THE Soverane Herb" "Now all
the clay Of which white pipes are
manufactured comes from Newton Alb

and 'burn' as two distinctly opposite
effects, but if, for a simple experiment.
you will touch your tongue to bit
of heated iron and to bit Of iron
that is extremely cold the effects. as
shown in the blisters produced and
in the sensation Of the contacts, will
be found to be surprisingly alike.
1t Is doubtful If our Aryan ancestors
when they were planting the seed of
the English and it's sister languages
thought Of the scientific relations of
what we call heat and cold, but they
gave to us the root "prus,'' which they
got out of the sensations produced by
burning and freezing. AS usual, Aryan
roots beginning with the "p'' sound
change it to 'f'' on the tongues of
the .Teuton; so with these our more
modern ancestors "prus" became
"frus," and from it came our freeze"
and frost" Again, as is usual, our
Hindu brother in his Sanskrit usually
preserves the Aryan ''p'' sound, so he
has from this root "prush," meaning
to burn. az
This root of freeze became ''freosan''
in Anglo-Saxon, which is our frozen
In Icelandic it became 'frjosa," in
Swedish "frysa'' and in Danish
"fryse." In the Latin the original ''p'
sound is retained in ''pruina," mean
ing hoarfrost, and in 'pruna," signify
ing burning coal. Here we see unit
ed two apparently opposite meanings
growing out of the old root "prus.''-

The guest room in the Iceland farm

the usual box of snuff and with it a
box Of good cigars.

farmhouses, with narrow, dark, win
dowless corridors winding in laby-
rinthian maze from room to room.
One passageway leads to a large open
mound where a fire is made to smoke
meat and fish and incidentally the
whole house and everything in it. An
other passage leads to another kitchen
with modern stove The walls are
all Of turf, as is the roof, with just
enough driftwood in the roof to make
a framework to hold it in place. Very
steep stairs lead up to the badstofa,
or sleeping apartment. The badstofa
frequently forms the sitting and COM
mon workroom of the family, espe-
cially in winter, as we'll as the sleeping
room of the entire household.
Bunks built into the wall extend
around the room and are often filed

Trees and Mind.

The effect of wind upon trees is
powerful. Even the presence or alb
sence of forests may be determined
by the character of the prevailing
wind or the conditions that modify it.
The wind acts as drying agent, Civ
ing special aspect to many plants.
When it is almost always from the
same quarter the plants show greater
development upon one side. Trees are
smaller on the windward edges of for
ests, and trunks and branches are
bent to leeward. The determinations
are most marked near the sea or in
fat regions. The cherry, plum, wal
nut, black poplar, ash and certain
pines are very sensitive to the wind,
but mountain pines and certain frs
offer great powers of resistance, and
these are recommended for reforesting
wind swept lands.

lion himself lies watching on the op-

Now the lioness eXerts herself to
arouse the cattle-which is not diff
cult, as they become excited merely
by smelling a beast of prey-till the
cattle are tormented to the utmost by
fear and horror, break through the
kraal on the side opposite to the lion
ess and thus fall an easy prey to the
lion.
The lion chases his victim and throt-
ties it by springing on it's neck or
breast and biting his teeth into this
part. The hunted animal falls, and
the lion now tears open the TANKS.
The lioness appears and has her share
of the meal. Very often they cannot

remains are on the following or the

STORY OF A LOAN.
A Case Where the Statute Of Lir1ita

~ Vase "nere the Statute OF IImIta-
tions Was Not Considered.
A we'll known Kansas banker told
a story the other day about the statute
Of limitations. There is a smile in it,
plus some good philosophy.
One day an old southerner walked
into this bankers Office. The south
erner was a typical gentleman of the
old school, suave, courteous to the
point of punctiliousness and honorable
to a degree Of martyrdom.
what can I do for you?" asked the
banker.
"Well," replied the southerner,
"about thirty-fve years ago I loaned
man down south some money-not a
very big sum. I told him that when
ever should need it l would let him
know and he could pay me the money
l need some money now, so shall let
him know, and I would like to have
you transact the business for me-
my good FRIEND" replied the bank
er, ''you have no claim on that money
You can't hold that man to that loan:
You say it has been thirty-fve years
since you loaned it to him? The
statute of limitations has run against
that loan years and years ago."
"Sir," replied the southerner, 1.-The
man to whom I loaned that money is
a gentleman. The statute of limita-
tons never runs against gentleman"
So the banker sent for the money,
and within a reasonable time there
after the money came, There was a
courtly gentleman at the other end of
the transaction also. - Kansas City

GRAFT FOUND IN !.
elephant HUNTS
Odd Case From Burma Before
English PTivy Council
LORD CHANCELLOR WONDERS.
Worldwide Spread of Political Pecu-
Iation Astounds Jurist-Superintend
ent and His Assistants Who Padded
PayrolIs on Government Staying Ex-
petition Stands Convicted.

The judicial committee of the Eng
lish privy council has been wrestling
with a case of alleged graft in elephant
hunting in Burma. The lord chancel-
lor, after hearing the evidence in Lon
don, is said to have asked Lord Atkin-
son in a voice of Wonderment if there
is any remote spot on earth or any
occupation, however strange, to which
graft has not extended.
Graft Old as World.
II fear, my lord" replied one Of the
counsel, that graft is merely the mod
ern expression of a human instinct as
old as the race ITSELF"
The case came before the privy coun-
Gil on appeal from the chief court of
lower Burma. The acting superintend-
ent and his assistant and the chief
clerk of the Kheddah department-the
principal business of which is the con-
duct of organized hunts of wild ele-
phants-were all three accused of hav-
ing padded the payrolls, commissary,
etc., of a large elephant hunting party.
The government asserted that there
were only 292 hunters in the expedi-
ton. The defendants, it was alleged,
had cooked up the accounts so as to
make it appear 34S men had taken
part in the hunt.
Trial Lasted Three Months.
After a trial lasting almost three
months, and in which pretty much all
the expert elephant hunters in that
part of Burma testified on one side or
the other, the defendants were found
guilty. The charge was that there had
been a criminal breach Of trust under
section 400 of the Indian penal code.
The defendants appealed to King
Emperor George through the privy
council, which has decided that the
prisoners put up poor case on appeal
and must stand convicted.
