SPIDERS SAIL BALLOONS.


This is the time Of year when spider
~aeronauts begin to make their flights.
h country boy especially is familiar
with the balloons which as common
spider threads are strung thick along
the fence which he follows to and from
school. At every step he brushes from
his face the ossame which is too
thick to be avoided.
A. Hyatt Verrill. in "Harper's Book
for Young Naturalists," tells about
these common spiders which use
their thread for balloons, and by their
aid travel through the air for long dis
tances, sometimes hundreds Of miles,"
When the little a%eronaut wishes to
make an ascension" says Mr.. Verrill,
he climbs to the highest spot he can
find. such as a fence post. low bush,
or the tip Of a blade Of grass, and hero,
holding by his forefeet, he stretches
his body upward and rapily spins out
a thread. The free end Of this line is
carried up and ava by the breeze and
rising warm air, until at last, enough
weight, he let's go his hold and sails
gaily away
Perhaps you think this simple.
breeze-borne thread should not be dig
nifed by the name Of balloon but
nevertheless the little spider can regu-
late his speed and sail in safety far
more successfully than did even the
famous Wright brothers. If the breeze
freshens he has only to gather in some
loose silk, while if it grows calm and
he falls earthward he can spin out
yard after yard Of floating gossamer.
These flying spiders are very common,
for the habit is almost general among
many species Of young spiders, and on
warm autumn days we may often see
hundreds Of their threads streaming
upward from fences, grass and bushes
or floating about in the air. Borne on
tha u-inoc nP n cti Snrtnpnhn~ r;~
these tiny adventures travel far and
swiftly, and have ven been seen float
ing safely through the air far out to
sea-"

WHERE Is MISS SIXTEEN?

She did not go to the shops supported
by the socially exclusive, but to stores
~patronized by the middle class, pros
porous mothers. Here is what she
found most popular for girls in their
teens, bound for mountain and shore:
Small editions or limitations Of what
smart and dashing matrons and
widows are choosing. Split skirts to
be worn over spider web silk stockings
and no petticoats; waists OF lace and
net SO thin as scarcely to vel the
shadow lace lingerie worn beneath;
pumps cut low in the vamp, with
dazzling buckles and even sparkling
heels; sporting coats in garish colors
and blatant stripes instead of simple
sweaters; evening frocks so tight of
skirt as to make wen the bunny hug
a dangerous dance, and bathing suits
not of modest, line-enveloping flannel
and serge, but of silk which clings

weapons OF the oriental siren offered to

The Wall Street Influence.

From the 81. Louis POSt-DiSpatch.
President Wilson Is right in his view OF
the influence behind the action of the Chi
cage conference of banke on the cur
rency bill. He charges 1t to the ''big
bankers" who are moved by professional
self-interest.
The hand of Wall street is visible in the
conference resolution. Wall street fears
that Its power to control the money and
credit of the country, which it has fire.
quently used ruthlessly for it's own bene-
ut, will be destroyed. 1t is pulling the
bank strings.
h president Is right in the belief that
the bankers, outside of Wall street and
it's allied interests, and the mass Of bust
ness men support his measure. The inde-
pendent business interests, with the mass
es of the people, want the power Of the
big bankers broken. They wane fnan-
cial independence Of Wall street under
government control. 1t is well the "big
bankers made the issue of bank control
or government control at this time. II
clearly defines the issue in congress over
enfpeney legislation: 1t informs public
port OF sound currency legislation for the
public interest as opposed to Wall street
interest.

In a slum section of Brooklyn a little
girl was bitten by a rat recently. She
three weeks her life was despaired of.
She is on the road to recovery now. I;ut
the doctors are not yet sure that she will
be entirely free from after effects.

fire department, in a book on fires and

to be a danger to the community ever

ing queen has just reached this coun'

daughter Of the late King Edward of
England, when in 1896 she married the

CHAPTER Ix-lcontinued.o

The carriage had turned from the
Rue des Balais into the Rue Pavee, it
had passed the Hotel de Lamoignon
n was abreast Of the monstrous high
plank wall of the Files Bleues when it
stopped. De Lussac looked out of the
left-hand window and saw. approach
ing them the agent who had driven
them yesterday. He had seen the car
riage approaching and signaled to it to
stop. Without doubt he was aware
of De Lussac's escape and had stopped
the carriage to communicate the fact
to Monsieur Beauregard.
This would nave been the end of all
things to most men, but his poet and
dreamer so terrible in action, I'M
daunted, flung the door of the carriage
open and shut it again, turned on the
agent, who was now at his elbow,
felled him with a blow on the point of
the chin, whipped his sword from its
%scabbard, and turned on the driver OF
the carriage, who, bundling off the
box, fed toward the Rue des Balais,
pursued for 10 yards or SO by the man
with the sword.
Then De Lussac, running back to-
ward the carriage and ~sheathing his
sword as he ran sprang on the box,
seized the reins and the whip from its
socket, and started the horses. The
whole affair had happened with the ra-
pidity of lightning, but several people

shouting and running after the car
riage; the coward driver had turned
and was calling on others to fol-
low him. Speed was De Lussac's only
chance, and fortunately for him the
horses We're as swift as they were pow
erful. The long stretch Of the Rue
Pavee hat lay before him game him
his chance He look it at a full gal
lop, turned the wide corner into the
Rue Bleue and found himself out Of
sight Of his p%ursuers. Then, refining
the horses to a swift trot, he headed
for the Rue de la Harpe. feeling that
victory at last was his.
The p~recaution that he had taken Of
closing the carriage door was not the
least part of his victory. With a swing,
ing door he would most certainly hav
drawn the attention and perhaps pur.
suit Of the people in the Rue Bleue.
Ten minutes later he drew up in the
Rue de la Harpe. dismounted from the
box and, leaving the carriage to take
care Of itself, turned into the Rue
Monis, a narrow street leading directly
into the Rue Plastriere.
A few minutes later he was pulling
at the queasy bell Of the house before
which we saw Madame Linden inter.
