Willing to Make an Effort.

On a large estate in the Scottish

the residents. After an overconvivial

forgot the day and began his reveille
(can 1t be played on the pipes?) on
Sunday morning. The angry master
shouted to him from the bedroom win
dow: Here. do you not know the
fourth commandment" And the piper
sturdily replied: Nae, sir, but II
yell-hic-whustle It I'll-hic- try It,
sir"

ARMINo LoNDoN's POLICE.
elauehtsr BY eursIars Makes John Bull
Follow Rest o. World.

Slaughter BY eursIars Makes John Bull
Follow Rest o. World.
John Bull has one characteristic
which is apparently Interchangeable.
Nobody's experience except his own
carries the slightest weight with him.
The whole country has been debating
the question whether the police should
be armed with revolvers.
Since i've brave men were shot down
by alien burglars recently and a SINH
lar incident occurred In London less
than two years ago one would i'm
agine that the question carried its own
answer. But the authorities through
out the country, utterly ignoring the
practice Of the rest Of the civilized
world, almost unanimously oppose
such startling innovation.
It is no exaggerated compliment to
say that the personnel Of the English
police is the finest in the world. No
men anywhere show such restraint
against such provocation, yet their
own superiors profess unwillingness to
trust them with the means Of ordinary
self defense.

WEB OF THE SPIDER.
Thousands Of Strands In Each Of tie
Silky Threads,

osbNy S"0doos
For long time the web Of the spi-
der was supposed to be a simple
strand of wavy silk, but later it was
found that such was far from being
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 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 a thousand fibers
each, for it has been proved that In
each teat there is sieve Of at least
a thousand holes, through which the
silky matter is strained. Thus We see
that, fine as is spiders web, it is yet
composed of from 1900 to 5000 f1bers.
Leuwenhoeck states that it would take
at least 100000 of the completed
threads to make thread as strong as
a silk thread Of the size of 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 red, yellow and black threads,
which it binds together with pleas
ing color effect. 49,.
