THE LADY SPIDER WAS THE !
FIRST SUFFRAGETTE?

FIRST SUFFRAGETTE?
The most aggressive militant suf-
fragette in the world today is the fe-
male spider!
In the realm of insects the spider
stands almost by itself for the cold,
calculating cruelty, in tie demon
stration of which the female is the
bright, particular staT-in fact, the
male spider is little more than a
mere bug. 1t is the feminine branch
of the family that spreads the terror
of the species far and wide. Some
of the facts regarding her which
have recently come to light make
most interesting study.
If insects have brains, the spider
is the braiRiest of them all. It might
not be out Of place to call it the
scientist of the bug family. In stTUc-
tural engineering they are far ahead
of the human engineers. In the con-
structiOn of spider webs the most del
icate problems of engineering are
dealt with and some fe8ts performed
by the lOnglegged builders that W0uld
be marvels if man could only learn
the secret Of them and build Office
buildings. or apartment houses &C
cording to the same plans The bal
ancing Of the various sections Of the
web so that the strain Is evenly d.
vided is marvel to everyone who
has studied it, and human engineers
are not backward in saying that the
spider is the greatest member Of
their profession on earth.
But it is the family life of the sBi-
der that the average person would
find the most interest. The male
spider is the most miserable being.
He amounts to even less than the
comic supplement idea of the suf-
fTagette's husband-in fact, he goes
about in constant terror of his life.
The terror is founded on a very firm

lieves such a being entitled to. She
always has a chip on her shoulder,
so to speak, and will fight at the drop
of the hat. She is short tempered, ir-
ritable and fiery and will attack any
thing and everything.
She has a strong maternal instinct
but her mothering would delight
the heart of the eugenists. There is
nothing tender or loving about it.
She simply has an instinct to bring
up family and she is not particular
as to whether the family she brings
up came from eggs laid by her or by
some other spider When her family
reaches a point in it's development
where its members can look after
themselves she promptly throws
them out and makes them scratch
for themselves. Some species Of spi-
ders provide themselves with little
weblike bags in which to carry their
eggs or their young. They are very
proud Of the bags and what might be
IN them.
But the pride stops at the con-
tents, for, while the bags were made
10 held the eggs, the mere fact of
having something in them is enough
10 satisfy the spider. Scientists who
have investigated the home life of
the insect have substituted little bits
of cork or fine pieces Of paper for the
eggs in such bags and the spider
would never seem to recognize the
difference.

FLAMES AND LAVA POUR
FROM vOlCAN0'S .M0UTH
And Make Ocean BOiI-Eight
Hundred PersonsIKilIed
In Vicinity.

Sydney, New South Wales, Dec.
22.-Eight hundred natives of the
Island of Ambrim, in the New Heb
rides group, recently were killed by
volcanic eruptions.
Passengers on incoming steamers
bring terrible details of the erup-
tions, describing them as having
been so sudden and violent that they
expected to see the entire western
side of the island disappear.
With a terrific roar, which was
followed with rapid succession Of
artillery-like detonations, all of the
craters of the volcano entered into
full activity, spouting flames and
lava and throwing out powders.
Great streams of lava were soon
rushing down the slopes, cutting off
the villagers from escape. In one
instance two torrents of the molten
mass Joined and made an island of
one entire section of village. Here

The scenes at night were awe-in-
spring. Flames shot into the air to
height of 1000 feet, Illuminating
the whole scene of destruction. The
ocean seemed to boil as super-heated
masses of stone fell into the sea and
tons of lava poured into the bay.
Dust from the crater gradually form
ed black cloud, which blotted out
the light of the stars.
The bay, after the eruption, was
filed with dead fish and large num-
bers of dead, turtles. The water in
the river was hot.
The British hospital buildings
were destroyed, but previous to their
destruction the doctors pluckily re-
moved all the patients to launch
and escaped with them.

Financial Machinery Is
Much Changed
BY THE GLASS-oWEN MEASURE
Main Points of the New Law
Which Has Long Been
In Debate.
RATHER COMPLICATED AFFAIR

Washington, Dec. 2O.-A complete
reform of the vast and complicated
machinery of finance, banking and
currency will be accomplished by the
Glass-Owen bill. Its fundamentals
provide:
The issue of currency, guaranteed
by the Government, based upon
notes and bills representing coma
mercial transactions and backed by
a gold reserve. The new currency is
expected to contract and expand to
meet the varied demands of trade.
The concentration of the bank re-
serves of the country in regional in
stitutions capitalized by the banks OF
the country and controlled by direc-
tors elected by the banks.
The creation of market for the
negotiable commercial paper which
forms the bulk Of the assets of the
banks, where, in times of stress,
these assets may be easily and with
out loss transferred into cash.
The establishment of from eight
to twelve great regional banks
throughout the country, which will
issue currency, rediscount paper and
centralize and mobilize the reserves
of the local banks.
The creation of Federal Reserve
Board of seven members appointed
by the President with final powers
of control and supervision over the
entire system.
In the foregoing general princi-
pies the bill is practically the same
that passed the House. But in phras-
eology and more or less important
details, hundreds of changes have
been made by the Senate.
The Senate has retained, after a
contest, the House plan to have each
regional bank a bank of banks"
with the directorate controlled by
the member banks, and the capital
furnished by enforced subscription
of national banks. Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, aided by the Re-
publicans, made an Intellectual fight
to make these institutions public
utility banks, owned by the public
and controlled by the Government.
As amended by the Senate the bill
provides for the creation of eight to
twelve regional banks, as the neces-
sity may develop.
Under the House bill the earnings
of the regional banks. after paying
per cent. dividends on the stock
and establishing a 20 per cent. sur
plus, would have been divided
among the member banks and the
Government.
The Senate has amended the bill
so that the stockholders shall re-
ceive 6 per cent. dividend, a sur
plus fund of 40 per cent. of the cap
ital shall be established and the re-
mainder of the earnings shall be d.
Nih'u' Sums W 'hp pC'Cih
ment as franchise tax and the re-
mainder founding a "depositors' in
surance fund" to reimburse deposit
tors in failing member banks.
The Senate has broadened mate-

cial paper which will be eligible for
a Al.
as basis for currency. Under the
House bill only paper maturing
within ninety days was available.
but the Senate. after contest,
broadened the provision to include a
percentage of six months paper in
order to accommodate smaller banks
in rural communities which handle
little-shoort-time paper.

Instead of making war on the
drunkards of the country, If more
war were made on the unsympathet-

these unfortunate and diseased men,
for their heartless attitude, it would
perhaps change or ameliorate the
situation a little for the better. The
drunkard can never be helped by
standing aloof and condemning him.
Few men get so far gone along this
line that they are not responsive to
human kindness.
