How Spiders Make Love.

The love making Of the garden spi-
der is very interesting to see.
The male spider, which can be dis
tinguished from the female by it's
small size and knobbed palpi, begins
by throwing out silk till it manages to
make a road between itself and the
female spiders web. 1t then runs
along this road, raising its front legs
at intervals. The female remains mo-
tionless in the center of the web.
The male then runs to the female
and rapidly pats it on the back, some
times with its two front legs. some
times with four. The male then re-
turns to its starting point.
Next time perhaps the female comes
Ito meet the male with "open arms
lfront legs). The male rushes to her,
but no sooner has he reached her than
she folds up her legs and pretends
to be unconscious of his presence. AT
this HE again rapidly pats her on the
back. Often when the female is In
the middle of Its web he tries to at
tract her by shaking the silken road
as hard as he can.

NOT LIKELY THAT DERBY IS 10 BE
 HELD FOR DEATH

InvestigatIon into the deatn of Charles H. Rogers, killed by an au- tomobile driven by Frances Derby on the evening of March 3, was closed to- day by John J. Phelan, before whom several new witnesses appeared.
 Though the name of the witness was withheld it is said by the coroner that new facts in the case were brought to light by chauffeur who witnessed the speed at which Derby was travelling at the time he cross ed the tracks on State street. This witness asserted that the car was being driven at a speed of between 20 and 25 miles per hour, controvert- ing the testimony of other witnesses in the case. It was also alleged that Derby did not slow down as far as could be seen by the witness.
 The coroner intfmated that his find ing would be filed late today and that while he would probably find the kill ing accidental it would be found that Derby was travelling at a dangerous rate of speed considering the location and the hour of the day.

 That Mrs. Wilson brought 1t to the attention of the President and that he took at least semi-oficia1 cognizance of it is shown by the fact that he turned the matter over to the national department of justice under the jur- 7gdfction of the attorney general. The letter was written to Mrs. Wilson by Mrs. William T.

 Ask your husband to use his in Huence with Governor Simeon D. Bald win to pardon or commute the sen tence of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield to life kmpr1sonment."
