From the Review.
When new trust company, after but
nine days existence, can show healthy
growth OF business, and prove it by a
fine report, it is a notable achievement.
That is what the Pleasantville Trust
Company, which began business Decem-
Der 81, has been able to do, and its pros
poets of increasing prosperity are the
highest. That the promoters estimated
wisely the need of such an institution is
proven by the statement, which covers
business done up to December 30

The STRANGE Sea spidsr.

One OF the strangest creatures OF the
sea is a certain species of sea spider
named Nymphon gracile. 1t has
body about the size of bit Of thread
a quarter OF an inch long and tied into
four knots. The head looks like the
end OF a thread split into two horns.
From each Of the four knots start two
legs. one on each side, making eight in
IN. The legs are three or four times
longer than the body, but the odd
thing about them Is that the alimen-
itary tube into which the food goes
Eruns down into every one of the legs.
$50 that whatever the spider eats circu-
Hates through his legs. and, in fact.
fhe legs are like the body in Internal
structure. Another curious feature of
this form of life Is that the baby sea
spider Is not in the least like the
Igrownup of the same family. 1t is
much more like q crab. but how 1t de
velops from crablike form Is not yet

A PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION
WILL Be HELD IN CHICAGO

NEW YORK, July S.-"Call you'll"
says Senator Joseph M. Dixon. Roose-
velt's campaign manager and a leader
in the third party movement, to the
old line parties of the country
For the show down." to pursue the
smile, he brought forth Sunday a call
to the people of the United States who
are in sympathy with the national
progressive movement to send dele
gates to national convention to open
in Chicago on August 5.
The call is signed by members of the
committee chosen at a meeting held
in Chicago, and also includes sigma
lures of Roosevelt followers in 40
states.
The territories have no place in a
national convention and will not be
considered,' declared Senator Dixon,
in commenting upon the signatures.
"As for the missing eight states, the
most of them probably will send dele
gates, although they have not taken
part in the call. Maine, for instance,
postponed any definite action because
there is now strong fight on in the
primaries, with the sympathy running
in favor Of the progressive movement.
Two States Missing.
Delaware. North Carolina, Arkan-
sas and Nevada probably will take
part in the convention. Mississippi and
South Carolina may possibly be unrep-
resented.
The call lays down no rules as to
the methods of choosing delegates,
since each state will be expected to
select its delegates by its own para.
phernalia. The representation will be
cut down to just one-half of the pre-
vious conventions. This was consider
ed advisable. since this convention is
to be notably deliberative body and
will certainly be composed of class
of men altogether different from those
who usually attend conventions.
I'm all proba bility the convention
will adopt the name National Progress
sive' for the new party, but l cannot
say definitely what will be done. Thus
far no issues have been authoritatively
stated. and. of course, the platform it
self will have to be decided upon by
the delegates"
