WOOING AT RISK OF LIFE
Excellent Reasons Why the Lot Of a
Male Spider Can Not Be
Called Happy.

There are the spiders, who live and
die in the shadow Of a unique law
which declares that the female shall
be in all things stronger and wiser
than the male, 1t Is impossible to find
elsewhere in nature such an astonish-
ing sex relation, for 1t Is the chief OBJ
ject of the male spider to escape be-
ing devoured by the lady spider to
whom he has elected to surrender his
heart. His whole structure Is designed
to aid and abet him in this perilous
undertaking. He Is small-indeed
sometimes minute-strong OF limb,
agile, wary to an extreme. AS
natural result his personality Is not
prepossessing He Is no expert spin
ner. He goes his way through life.
now and then weaving an inadequate
web-a poor, lop-sided affair-to snare

At length, at the proper hour, he

male, and observing 1t, hesitates, pro-
foundly meditative. In this he Is
not alone; for others, too, have obeyed
her silent summons-have come from

temerity, he risks all and goes up her
silken ladder, stumbling over his own
multifarious legs, 30 great is his

She watches him, immobile. a tiny

VALUABLE BEAST OF BURDEN
Elephants Tremendous Strength En-
ables Him to Do More Work Than
Team of Horses.

This Is the year of the elephant
battle" in the great forests of Mysore.
India. The hunting of these gigantic
animals Is permitted In India only
every fifth year. On the average from
200 to $50 wild elephants are cap
tured during the battle season, and
these are trained for the various pur-
poses for which the Asiatic elephant
is used Everybody knows how con-
spicuous part tanned elephants play
In the great public spectacles in India.
Indian princes and officials sometimes
pay thousands of dollars for excep-
tionally fine and intelligent elephants.
After they have been properly trained
they are furnished with trappings
cleaning with gold and splendid color.
The howdah that an elephant trained
for hunting carries on its back, and
in which It's master rides, while its
driver places himself just back Of its
head, frequently weighs more than
200 pounds, but the huge animal re-
CARDS 1t no more than horse does
riding saddle.
On good level road an elephant
will march at the rate Of five miles
per hour, and he is capable Of run
ming, for short distances, with speed
Of 20 miles an hour. He can carry,
in regular service, from 1000 to 1,5OO
pounds, and he would not greatly
mind ton or more.
With his enormous muscles and his
dead weight of five or six tons 1t Is
evident that his pulling and lifting
power must be immense. He can pull
down or root up small trees, can pick
up huge logs with his trunk and carry
or throw them around like sticks and
since he Is a very tractable beast
when well tanned, he often does farm
work Of which team Of horses would
be utterly incapable. He can make
fence or place huge blocks OF stone

Orton Moon, who lives near Grand

from 40 to 500 angleworms.
During the last three years lis pc.

way Of rearing angleworms:

them in an ordinary pail, or granite

Of earth. Feed the worms twice day
on coffee grounds and corn meal. They

WELL ADAPTED TO THE WORK
Dredee Employed to Dig Channel
Through Cranberry Marsh Credit
to Designers.

In Wisconsin there Is clamshell
bucket dredge in use which at each
shovelful removes an amount Of ma
terial much greater than the size OF
the bucket itself. The reason is that the
outfit Is being used to dig channel
through a cranberry marsh, where the
material to be cleared away varies
all the way from tangled weeds to
hardpan. The eventual object of this
channel, which is 80 feet wide and
feet deep, is to drain 1900 acres of
cranberry land. In one section of this
land there Is a lake, the waters OF
which must be distributed throughout
the bogs during certain seasons of the
year. The use of this type of bucket,
which, besides digging into hard
ground, will also come away with bush
els Of underbrush, matted boughs
etc. hanging from Its Jaws, illustrates
the art of adapting the tool to the
work-Popular Mechanics.

TO SHOW VALUE OF BIRDS
Census About to Be Taken by tho
United States Expected to
Accomplish Much.

A census of birds In the United
States Is about to be taken by the de-
partment Of agriculture with the CO.
operation of bird lovers throughout the
country.
The object Is to determine how
many birds Of particular species breed
within definite areas. 1t Is thought
that, by comparison Of census fig.
ures with others already available It
will be possible to ascertain whether
the present state and federal laws are
effective and whether game and in
sectivorous birds are increasing or
diminishing in numbers.
The department estimates that farm.
ers In the country lose billion dol
lars every year through insect ravages.
A vast deal of this could be saved IL
birds were given chance to live and
work.
Nature has been, from the begin
ming, crusader for bird conservation.
The number Of insects has been linn
tied by birds and the number Of birds
by their food supply. When men
break In upon this wise arrangement
danger and trouble ensue.

Within the last few years this country
has witnessed recrudescence of mas

church. Laymen are no longer con-
tent to leave the burden to the minis
ter on the plea that he is paid to bear

realize that he is an active stockhold-
er in the church, with responsibilities
to discharge as we'll as privileges to
enjoy. Sensational methods of at
tracing men, that tend to turn 4
church into a sort of sociable club, are
not likely to be productive of lasting
benefit either to the religious institu-
ton or to the men themselves.

MADE IMMORTAL BY GENIUS
Writer Tells Of SordId Places That

London, sought out and visited the
various places made memorable by
their connection with Charles Dickens

pressed by the fact that memories of
Dickens were still vivid in the minds
Of the people. A little printer boy
showed him where Dickens earned six
shillings week, tyingsup and labelling
pots Of blacking.
"Oh, know him, gov'nor," was the
usual answer of the older inhabitants
to Mr.. Smiths inquiries. "Over there
he used to live, and 1t amt far from
here to Camden Town, where he lived
when he was working in the backing
place" He was even able to find an
urchin who could point out the spot
where Dickens dropped stealthily one
evening, with fear and trembling, into
q dark letter box up dark court in
Fleet street" the first Of the Sketches

He was especially pleased with his
visit to the house where Dickens went
to board after his marriage. OF this,
he says:
