served for many years. The late Sen

a political career by reason OF his in
fiuence with the state machine, and
undoubtedly looked ahead to the day
when the son would become senator.
The Germans are related to the Da-

made considerable money in the same
ventures, but not all their money for

Purple is one of these. According to

LARGEST OF SPIDER WEBS

The largest spider web In the world
was spun not by a spider. but by hu-
man hands. It stands on the lawn OF
a Chicago mans country home, and Is
of such tremendous size as to startie
the passerby when he first sees 1t. The
creator of this interesting oddity con-
ceived the idea of attempting to see
how nearly an actual spiders web
could be reproduced with rope. Sc
lecting two immense trees on the lawn
of his home, he spun between them
this spiders web, 40x60 feet, which is
so strong that man may easily climb
to the center or top of it. The web
faces the main thoroughfare passing
the house, and Is one Of the most
fascinating country ground decora-
tions ever seen. The spinner could
not attain the minuteness of the actu'
al spiders web, but came SO near to II
that the Illusion Is almost perfect.
The uniqueness of the undertaking
catches and fascinates every eye that
sees 1t.

terminated by the ruthless traffic in
their eggs and skins, although their
