THEY FOOL THE FOWL.
Wild Duck Hunters In China Are Willy
In Their Methods.

Wild Duck Hunters In China Ar Willy
In Their Methods.
A fun grown wild duck II one Of the
most wary Of all animals, and many
are the devices Of hunters In various
parts Of the world to kill or to capture
it. There Is one method Of taking
wild ducks In considerable numbers
practiced In China and elsewhere In
the east which Ii sufficiently unknown
to occidentals to prove Of interest.

Of big calabashes, or gourds. shall al

with holes cut for his mouth and eyes,
upon his head. he wades through the
lake, taking care to keep the whole of
his body beneath the surface. He
cautiously approaches the unsuspect-
ing wild fowl and, catching one OF
them by the leg. pulls him with sud,
den jerk beneath the water, causing
hardly more commotion of the surface
than the duck itself when 1t dives OF
splashes or plunges for Its food. He
wrings its neck under the water and
fastens 1t to his belt. Then he deals
with another and another in the same
fashion till he makes his retreat
equally unnoticed. with a whole cir
dleful of captured wild ducks around

SPIDERS WEBS.

Their Fiiray Threads Have Wonderful
Sustaining Power.
The strength Of the spider and Of the
materials 1t employs is something al
most incomprehensible when the size
Of the insect and the thickness Of Its
thread are taken into account. Recent
experiments have shown that single
thread OF a web made by spider
which weighed fifty-four milligrams
supported endwise a weight of four
grams. or seventy four times the weight
OF the spider itself.
When. therefore, spider spins web
to let himself down from the ceiling
or from the branch of q tree and we
see him descending without perceiv-
ing his thread at all We may be per.
fectly sure that he Is not only In nc
danger OF falling. but that he could
carry seventy three other spiders down
with him on his invisible rope
Knowing this fact with reference t.
d single thread, we need not be sur
prised that the threads Of q web, inter
woven and REINFORCED one by another
have very considerable strength and
are able to hold bees and wasps, them
selves very powerful In proportion Il
their size. and to bend without break

HIS HOME AND YOURS.


Would you care to live in home
costing $3.OOo,OoO and have no peace Of
mind?
The mansion Of John d. Rockefeller
at Pocantico, n. Y, cost that much.
Underneath the room on the second
wide veranda, on which. up and down,
day and night, an armed guard walks.
A correspondent says that often dur
ing the night when the Millionaire can.
not sleep he opens the window and
calls down:
John, are you there?"
Which is like terrified youngster
who fears the dark and calls out to
know If some one Is near.
Envy the man?
No, indeed. As for me, should pre-
fer little cottage OF three or four
rooms where the vines grow over the
porch and there is rose tree in the
front yard and an old fashioned gar
den In the back yard and where love
abides.
Lest we forget
Let us say it over again to ourselves
that these rich human beings are much
like the rest of us. They, too, are men
Of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
In their lives mingle the bitter and the
sweet as in ours.
They, like all mortal mariners, must
make the perilOus pass OF the stormy
Issea Of human life.
And their food tastes no better than
ours-Oftentimes not so good. Nor do
they sleep better than we. And their
loves have no sweeter flavor than ours.
But, you say
Rockefeller has got not only his own
| share of this worlds goods, but he has
taken some Of your share and some
Of mine and some Of everybody's.
Granted.
But suppose Mr.. Rockefeller really
has the billion dollars they say he has
and suppose he were to divide the sum
| equally with all the citizens of this
country, how much, think you, would
you get?
Just $40.

home Of grandeur where an armed
guard PAGES the porch to keep black

hearts ease abide.
And you?
Will you not join me when I say,
do not envy you your gorgeous guard.

You get in the boostin' biz.

The Green Flash Of Sunset.


One Of the most rarely witnessed Of

often been discussed at scientific meet
ings and that always awakens wondet
when seen. Is the 30 called green
flash" occasionally visible at the mo-
ment Of the disappearance Of the sun
behind clear horizon. The observers
eye must be 6xed upon the rim Of the
sun a. it disappears In order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
as that he has seen the green dash,
although rarely. at the instant OF the
setting Of q bright star. Among the
explanations offered il one based upon

colors. II one looks at the sun and
