support was because it is realized here
that the moment baseball is taken in
TO the civil courts the game is killed.
The national game, it has been shown
time and again. cannot survive pro-
tracted legal contests. One reason is
that the courts will quickly use up
the sinews of war, and another one is
that once legal machinery enters,
the element of sport goes out. Baseball
must be a law unto itself. Rock Is
land and Davenport preferred to have
Waterloo in the league but both de-
plore the beginning of a lawsuit, be-
lieving that the Boosters have made a
serious mistake and one that will OPP
crate TO their disadvantage in organ
ICED baseball in future in whatever
company they may be.
DID SAME THING BEFORE.
The action of Waterloo yesterday
is similar to that of the same city a
year ago when the Central associa-
ton, at a meeting at Burlington,
voted to drop the town because of
it's remoteness from the center of
the circuit. There was a brisk Skin
mish in the courts which was called
off when the Boosters saw a chance
of landing in the Three-Eye.

WEB OF THE SPIDER.
Thousands of Strands In Each of Its
Silky Threads.

Thousands of Strands In Each of It's
Silky Threads.
For a long time the web of the spi-
der was supposed to be a simple
strand of wavy silk, but later it was
the case.
Under the microscope we can get at
the secret of the spinning very nicely.
We see that there are either four or
six teats on the spider near the lower
part of the abdomen. almost exactly
similar to the teats Of a COW From
these issue four or six strands. as the
case may be. But these strands them
selves are not simple. but are com
posed of at least thousand fibers
each, for it has been proved that in
each teat there is a sieve of ct least
a thousand holes, through which the
silky matter is strained. Thus we see
that. fine as is a spiders web. it is yet
composed of from 4OC0 to COCO fibers
Leuwenhoeck states that it would take
at least 100000 of the completed
threads to make thread as strong "a
a silk thread Of the size Of q hair.
As to the color of the thread, our
ordinary spiders spin one of uniform
gray color. But in the rIotous tropics
there are fOund spiders that spin vari-
colored webs. One particularly pro
duces rcd. yellow and black threads.
