There will be grand jury drawn

capital cases to be probed. Should
true bills be found in either or all Of

even longer term than is now fore
casted.

BANKER PREDICTS
 THE END OF WAR
LIKEWISE HIS OWN DEATH WHICH OCCURRED AS
 PREDICTED.

LONDON, April 13.--An English army officer was starting for the front last year. He called at his bank to settle up certain affairs be- fore departing.
 You'll be back soon with wound. ed hand" said the bank manager He was.
 His wound healed, the officer made ready to go to the front. Meeting the bank manager, he inquired: Any more predictions ?"
 You'll be gone longer this time, ' said the manager, land when you do return, it will be with quite a bad wound in the leg"
 This also happened. The officer was much surprised. Hunting up the banker, he inquired: "Since you know so much, why cant you tell me when the war will end?"
 ''It will end," said the manager 'on June IT, 1916, but shan't live to see it. I'll just about live until New Years day and not much more" He died January 2.

must be recruited. Not every spider will do only large fat fellows that spin tough, round thread are suitable.
 Singuarly enough the girls who have charge of the spiders in this English factory are not in the least afraid of them or their bites. On the contrary they regard them as pets, are able to tell them apart and to call them by nicknames which humorously describe their appear ance or their peculiar habits of work.

A FACTORY THAT EMPLOYS
 SPIDERS.

Spiders are probably the most indispensable worlSmen in one of the largest English surveying instru- ment factories. It is their duty to spin the delicate thread which is used for the cross hairs to mark the exact centre of the object lens in the surveyors telescope.
 Spider web is the only suitable material yet discovered for the cross hairs of surveying instru- ments. Almost invisible as this fibre is to the naked eye it is brought up in the powerful lenses of the telescope to the size of a mans thumb, so that all defects. if there happened to be any, would be magnifed to such a degree that the web should be useless.
 Human hair has been tried, but when magnifed it has the apparent dimensions of a rough-hewn lamp post. Moreover, human hair is transparent, and cross hairs must be opaque.
 The spiders produce during two months spinning season thousands of ayrds of web, which is wound upon metal frames and stored away until needed
 A spider "at work" dangles in the air by it's invisible thread, the upper end being attached to metal wire frame whirled in the hands of girl. The girl first places the spider on her hand until the pro truding end of the thread has be- come attached. When the spider attempts to leap to the ground this end is quickly attached to the cen tre of the whirling frame, and as the spider pays out thread this line is wrapped around the frame. Sev- eral hundred feet of thread can be removed from spider at one time.
 The spiders are kept in large room under the supervision of three girls and a forewoman. When not spinning the little workmen are placed in large wooden cage. Flies are the chief article of diet.
 During the winter months the spider colony usually dies, so that an entirely new corps of worlSmen

TRUE BILL FOUND
 AGAINST VON PAPEN
WHILE GRAND JURY FOUND PLENTY OF EVIDENCE HE
 GOES FREE.

NEW YORK, April 18.-The fed- eral grand jury today returned a true bill against Captain Von Papen, who returned to Germany some time ago. The grand jury charged him with being an accom- plice before the fact, in that he was cognizant of the fact that an organ ization existed where the Welland Canal was to be blown up and that the Captain was the financing agent of the members of the organization. The offense charged is not extradit- able as there is no treaty covering up the charge between the United States and Germany.
 The prosecuting attorney said to- day that other indictments would be returned against several others in the Welland Canal conspiracy.

WAR RELICS OF 1779.

During the American revolution the most important of the British camps was located along the present line of upper Broadway, New York. A series of excavations carried on in this region has revealed many relics of unusual interest. The re- mains of upward of 100 Hessian and British huts have been unearth- ed with relics of the camp of the period.
 The discovery include thousands of buttons from the soldiers uni forms which have made it possible to trace the various regiments once encamped there. One of the most interesting of these relics is a silver belt plate, the markings of which identify it as once belonging to ar officer in the 18th British regiment of Foot in 1779. On the back of the buckle are crudely scratched the let ters q. E.," and this slight clue has made it possible definitely to estab- fish it's history.
 An examination of the military records of the period shows that 1st Lieut.. James Edwards was ar officer of the 18th regiment which was once encamped on upper Broad way. The records also tell that the officer was wounded at the battle of the Brandywine.
