Death rhrouah a Taran.ura.

One of the quickest and most com plete and justfiable killings that ever l saw came about through Il tarantula It was at mine camp in the old days, and the camp bully had Il tarantulu i'm paled on a stick. \ man newly arrived from the east stood gazing. fascinated with horror, at the squirming reptile, working its black fangs ill the effort to reach something that it could fasten them into. Suddenly, without warning, the bully thrust the tarantula straight into the tenderfoot's face. His whiSb- CTS saved him from the fangs, but he let out a yell as if he had actually been bitten and jumped back, l fully be- heve, ten feet. Then, as the fellow came poking the tarantula toward hiIn again, the tenderfoot drew his revolver and turned loose on his tormentor. His first shot would have been enough, as it went straight through the fellows body, but the tenderfoot had his eX- citement to work off, and he never stopped shooting until his revolver had been emptied and the man with the tarantula was a sieve. Served him right" was the verdict of the cOroners jury, and the case never went to court for trial

OnaIs and III II uck

Many people regard the opal as an omen of ill luck, and the following will show how this superstition arose. Two or three centuries ago the stone was very popular in Europe, and the jewellers of Italy were especially cum ming in its setting. At the height of it's popularity came the plague which wrought great havoc in Venice. It was noticed by some observant persons in that city that when a. victim was on the point of death his opal, if he wore one, frightened, while after death it became dull. The reason of this was the heightened fever made the stone become hot, and consequently very brilliant, while after death the chill and damp of the body dulled it. It was however declared by many that it brought death and misfortune to their door, and as this superstition spread the sale of opals decreased, and to this day people believe that the beautiful stone brings i'll luck.

Scot Free.

The expression "scot free" which is in use every day, harks back to the times of Scottish romance and tragedy so luminously described by Sir Walter Scott in 'The Antiquary" and Rob Roy" In these stirring tales we are told of one form of Scottish trials giv- en certain offenders of justice. He who had broken the law was divested of all of his clothing and placed at a certain distance from archers who had bows and arrows ready. waiting the command, "Firew When the con- mand was given the man under indict- ment would begin running and the archers would commence firing, and if in running this gantlet none of the arrows hit him he was allowed to go scot free.

Orilin of Knives,

The first knives, according to the con- clusions of scientist who has made a study of the subject, were fractured stones that happened to have a sharp cutting edge. But the vegetable king dom also furnishes very keen cutting edges in the Ieavessa and stalks of cer- tain plants, which might have been availed of before artificial knives were made. The fractured stone knife easily suggested the shaping of faked stones, like flint, into the form of blades. Among the Seri Indians on Tiburon is- land, in the gulf of California. the primitive custom of utilizing fractured and water worn stones for knives still exists.

Why Chinese Shops Are Small.

The average Chinese shop of any kind in Tientsin and Picking is a one story building without doors or win dows to the street. The entire front is closed by shutters at night. In the day time the shutters are removed These shops are fourteen to sixteen feet wide on the street, and the room is not deeper than this. Three or four feet back from the front a counter runs, behind which there is shelving The storerooms are not deeper because of the peculiar arrangement of Chinese houses. The typical Chinese house is only one story in height and is built on all four sides of a square courtyard. If more room is needed there is a sec ond courtyard in the rear with a com municating door, and so on. The ya- mems or official residences of the va rious Chinese officials of Tientsin are all erected in this way-one courtyard after another surrounded by buildings all opening into the court.

BIG SAVING IN
COST Of WATER
New Filter Plant Reduces
Expense by More Than
$1,000 Per Year.

An average saving Of over $4,000 q
year, in the. cost of nltering water for
city consumption, has been effected
during the last three years by the new
filter apparatus installed by the city
in 1910. according to figures prepar-
ed today by H. 6. Lykken, city engi-
neer.
AS the plant cost only $4,000 this
means that it will more than pay for
itself in the course Of the next four
years. while 1t will last for many
years more" = - ,-@s
From 1900 to 1910, the average cost
per year for fltering the city water
was $~5,573.52. During the last three
years, since the new filter has been
installed, this cost has averaged only
$2,419.06., making an average saving
Of ~$3,154.46 per year.
The saving on the actual fltering Is
even greater than this, as $500 Is now
expended annually for testing the wa
ter. which was not the practice for
merly.
The water is thus not only being
filtered more cheaply under the pres
ent conditions. but there is also better
care being taken of the health Of the
consumers.
