BIG SURPRISE TO MONARCH
First Experience With Seidlitz Pow.
ders Produce Startling Scene
In Court In Delhi

On the first consignment of seid-
litz powders in the capital of Delhi,
the monarch became deeply interest
ed in the accounts of the refreshing
draught. A box was brought to the
king in full court and the interpreter
explained to his majesty how it should
be used.
Into a goblet he put the contents
of the twelve blue papers, and having
added water, the king drank 1t off.
This was the alkali and the royal
countenance expressed no signs Of
satisfaction. 1t was then explained
that in the combination or the two
powders lay the luxury and the
twelve white powders were quickly
d ssolved and as eagerly swallowed
by his majesty.
With wild Shrek that will be re-
membered while Delhi is numbered
among the kingdoms, the monarch
rose, staggered, exploded, and in his
full agonies, screamed, Hold me
down." then, rushing from the throne
fell PROSTATE on the floor.
There he lay during the long con-
tinued effervescence of the compound,
squirting like ten thousand penny
worth of pop, and believing himself
in the agonies OF death, a melancholy
and humlliating proof that kings are
mortal

er. 1t is possible to carry even more
than this from one year to another.
How can the rainfall be saved?
Plow the field as soon as the crop
has been harvested. If it is spring
or summer, follow the pillow with a
drag. The rains will soak into the
soil instead of running off the sur
face or evaporating. Fall blowing
should not be dragged, as there is
danger Of the soil either pack ng or
becoming dry and blowing.
The extra expense of following
such plan ought not to cost moe
than a dollar an acre at most. Many
places it could be done at a much
smaller cost. 1t pays big interest on
the investment, even at the higher
figure. While moisture conservation
does not spell sure cure for crop
failure, it Is worth the effort.

CALLS FOR CLEAR DEFINITION
Epithet Boob" Has Been Overwork.
ed and Its Real Meaning Is by
No Means Plain

Who invented the boob? What is
a boob? Is he going to be one Of
the Immortals or is he simply fit
ting figure stepping across life's stage
for an instant, to be lost in the dis
tant wings of time?
When you call a man a boob, you
seem to imply in some way that you
do not utterly despise him. There
is a comradeship, an intimacy. about
the word that does not apply to 9th
err terms. You can call man a
boob, for instance, when you would
not CAL him an ass or a fool
And yet boob is an outcast. He
stands apart from the common run.
He is a combination of stupidity and
utter incongruity with any standards
which are entitled to our respect.
But is the boob in reality all this
Can it be said, indeed, that the boob
exists? Is he not more or less a
mental condition on the part of the
person who calls him a boob? When
for instance, you speak of a man as
boob, you are really not defining
him. You are only telling what you
think about him.
That is the reason why we are OF
the opinion that the word boob will
not last. 1t doesn't stand for a defin-
ite human object. 1t Is more an atti-
tude of mind on the part of the per-
son speaking. Life.

A FISHING SPIDER

The following account OF Il South

Chubb, of the Durham Museum, Ma.
tai. His account is in the words OF
the discoverer of this odd creature,

water a fine spider which caught,

measured about three inches when
its legs were extended; the body Is
small, but the legs are long. After
being on the rockwork of the aquar.
ium for some time, 1t took up very
interesting position 1t rested two
legs on h stone, the other six on the
water, well spread out, the ends of
the six legs commanding a definite
and well defined area of water. E.
Beng busy, | merely took note
of its attitude, and left it to its de.
vices. After a few minutes my ser.
want boy came into my study to say
that the spider I had put into the
aquarium was eating one Of my pet
fish. a. once went to see what had
happened, and soon saw the spider on
top of the rockwork, holding in its
grip beautiful little fish about four
times the weight of its captor.
For a moment I was startled into
a strange surprise. How could tn
spider which has no power to swim
catch lively. quick swimming fish?
J locked II 1t in wonder, as it seemed
to clutch the fish as cat catches
a mouse. 1t soon began to devour its
catch, ana after some time had pass

II Was now anxious to find out
how the spider caught the fish. That
night, about II o'clock, when | had
finished my days work, I sat down
by the aquarium to watch the sp. der,
the fisherman caught his fish. The
spider had taken up a position on
piece of stone, where the water was
not deep, and had thrown out its long
legs over the water, upon which their
extremities rested, making little de-
| pressions on the surface, but not
! breaking the water skin The tarsi
of two posterior legs firmly held on
to a piece of rock just above water
over the water, the head being in
about the center of the Gordon of
legs, and very near to the surface
OF the water.
"A'rer watching for some time,
saw a small fish swim toward the
stone and pass under the outstretch-
ed legs Of the spider. The spider

OF the early cannon, the larger ones
were made by taking bars Of iron and
binding them together with hoops,
leaving hole In the middle. The shot
consisted Of scraps Of iron and often
small stones. II they got too much
