Chicago, Sept. 2O.-William Hale

men departed for Rockford, ILL.,. to on

read in part:
whereas, the creation of a national
army and many other branches of the
army and the recruiting of the navy
to a war footing has been made under
the law of the land;
"Whereas, it is the duty of all pa
triotic citizens to stand by the country

Spiders and the Stars.

Spiders as an aid to astronomy are recognized to such an extent that cer- tain species are cultivated solely for the fine threads they weave. No sub- stitute for the spiders thread has yet been found for bisecting the screw Of the micrometer used for determining the positions and motions of the stars. Not only because of the remarkable 6neness of the thread are they valua- ble. but because of their durable qual- itieS. The threads of certain spiders raised for astronomical purposes with stand changes in temperature, so that often in measuring sun spots they are uninjured when the heat is so great that the lenses of the micrometer eye pieces are cracked. These spider lines are only One-flfth to One-seventh of thousandth of an inch in diameter, compared with which the threads of the silkwOrm are large and clumsy.

 "He had gone to the Hudson's Bay post, fifty miles distant, and found out all about me, and had got the clerk there to send me his furs, which probably represented two-thirds of his winters catch.

STEALING ELEPHANTS.
k Would Seem Difficult Vet h is . Rsuulsr Trade In Siam.

"sh><tsf t'eS~ w ~s-'sss'
 It would seem that an elephant would be about the last thing in the world a man would be able to steal. Yet in Siam ono must keep a careful watch on such elephants as he may own, no matter what their size. lest they De stolen from him.
 Elephant stealing in Slam has al- ways been more or less prevalent and for some time past has been a source of much anxiety to the officials. Reg. ulations were drawn up about 6fteeri years ago by the British and Siamese authorities with view to the suppress sion of this offense. Later these were supplemented by additional regula- tions, embodying definite rules for the purchase and sale of elephants and imposing penalties on all persons in possession of elephants who are not provided with sale papers properly ex ecuted before the local authorities.
 Notwithstanding all these precau- tions elephant stealing continues in Siam, and in one year alone fifty ele- plants were stolen from British for esters, representing . loss of some $45,OOO.
 The Karen tribesmen are the chief offenders: but. though their somewhat inaccessible villages are we'll known to the near kwen, or district official. in no single instance has the assist. ance rendered by the Siamese officials led to the discovery of the elephant stolen or of the thief. In short. re- covery, when effected. has been due to the activity and energy of the British foresters and the searching parties sent out by the British compa. nies who employ the feresters.-Los Angeles Times.

BARRISTERS AND BEARDS.

h Former Days Lawyers in England
 Were Forced to Shave.
 Nowhere was there more prejudice against boards than at the Inns of Court centuries ago. The Black Books' of Lincoln's inn of the six. teenth century are full of references to offenders who were ''fyned double comens durynge such tyme as they shall have any berde.''
 This proving ineffective, a whole batch of bearded barristers was in 1554 "banysshed from ye Howse," and shortly afterward a judges order was obtained for the compulsory shaving of some of the members. The inner temple benchers were not quite so se- were, for a fine of 20 shillings was the sole penalty imposed in 1555 for "wear yng beardes of more than three weekes grOwthe."
 The war against bearded barristers continued at the Inns of Court until the seventeenth century. Long after this. however, the prejudice against the un- shaved barrister remained. The late Vice Chancellor Bacon carried his dis ike so far that he always refused to listen to bearded or mustached coun. sel, pretending that he could not hear them. Even now, although there are plenty of bearded barristers and K. C.'s. few have attained eminence
