Spiders and the Stars.

Spiders as an aid to astronomy are
recognized to such an extent that GER
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 remarkab BILE
fneness Of the thread are they yalua-
BILE, but because Of their durable quail
tiles. The threads of certain spiders
raised for astronomical purposes with
stand changes In temperature, so that
often in measuring sun spots they are
unfnjured when the heat Is SO great
that the lenses of the micrometer eye
pieces are cracked. These spider lines
are only ons-nfth to one-seventh Of q
thousandth Of an inch In diameter,
compared with which the threads Of
the silkworm are large and clumsy.

STEALING ELEPHANTS.
IL Wsuld Seem Difficult, Yet 1t 10 .
Regular Trade In Siam.

II Would Seem Difficult, Yet 1t 10 q
Regular Trade In Siam.
1t would seem that an elephant
would be about the last thing In the
world a man would be able TO steal
Yet In Siam n must keep a careful
watch on such elephants as he may
own, no matter what their size, lest
they be stolen from him.
Elephant stealing In Siam 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 draw up about fifteen
years ago by the British and Siamese
authorities with a view TO the suppress
sion of this offense. Later these were
supplemented by additional regula-
tons. embodying definite rules for the
purchase and sale of elephants anc
imposing penalties on all persons in
possession Of elephants who are moi
provided with sale papers properly ex
ecuted before the local authorities.
Notwithstanding all these precau-
lions elephant stealing continues IN
Siam. and in one year alone fifty ele-
plants were stolen from British for
esters. representing a loss of some
s45, 900.
The Karen tribesmen are the chief
offenders; but. though their somewhat
inaccessible villages are well known
to the a 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-
coyery, when effected. has been due
to the activity and energy of the
British foresters and the searching
parties sent out by the British compa-
MES who employ the foresters.-Los

BARRlSTERS AND Boards.
y Former Days Lawyers In Enslsne
Were Forced q Shave.


Nowhere vas there more prejudice
against boards than at the Inns of
Court centuries ago. The Black
Books" Of Lincoln's inn OF the six
6eenth century are full of references
to offenders who were "fyned double
oonlens durynge such tyne as they
shall have any berde."
This proving ineffective. a whole
batch of bearded barristers was in
1854 "banysshed from We 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 Sc
we're. for a flne Of 20 shillings was the
sole penalty imposed i'm 1855 for wear
yng beardes Of more than three weekes
growthe."
The var against bearded barristers
continued at the Inns Of Court until the
seventeenth centufy. Long after this.
however. the prejudice against the IN
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-
sci. pretending that he could not hear
them. Even now, although there are
plenty of bearded ~barristers and X. c.'s.
few have attained eminence.
The most brilliant exception was per
haps the late Judah Philip BENJAMIN.

these six cardinal principles which the
Food Commission wishes to instil into
the minds OF the American people:
1. The United States must use less
wheat in its homes. The families OF
America are asked to eat at least one
wheatless meal every day, substituting
corn bread and other cereals for the
usual wheat bread or rolls. If Amer
lea eats as much wheat as usual there
will be hardly enough to take care of
the domestic consumption, whereas 1t
is the desire of this Government to ex-
port millions of bushels to assist in
feeding our allies.
2. The request is made that every
householder shall buy less meat, serve
smaller portions and allow no waste.
Cattle and hogs are decreasing in
number and the supply must be con-
served for this country and for the
necessary export
3. As the American people consume
three times the amount of fats actu-
ally necessary for nutrition, II is de-
sired that no butter shall be used in
cooking. that less shall be used on the
table, and that less lard, bacon and
other pork products shall be used.
4. 1t is suggested that any deficiency
In food resulting from the Curtailment
OF the usual foodstuffs may he amply
made up by the increased use of fish,
potatoes, peas, turnips, cabbages and
vegetables generally, and by corn,
buckwheat rye and rice.
5. The householder must have In
mind that the railroads Of the country
are going to be taxed to their limit in
the transportation Of soldiers, coal and
munitions OF all sorts Every article
purchased that Is produced near at
home means just so much burden
taken of the railroads. Therefore tho
practice OF buying local produce is en-
couraged by the food commission.

THESE STUDENTS HAVE SEEN THE NEED OF

ioned flower garden and the broad
la'wns were untenanted save for a
ghost, who the farmerettes say moved
in when the owner died. There GER

are other approved accessories to
ghostly residents, but Mrs. Short says
she never heard OF a ghost there, and
she doesn't see why there should have
been one in a house whose only occu-
pant was quiet old lady.
It is largely to Mrs. Shorts insight

HOOVER PLANS PRETENTIOUS
ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMY

6. Finally, and somewhat as a reca-
pitulation, the commission breaches
and asks others to preach the gospel
Of the clean plate. and urges the
American housewife to buy less food
stuff, 10 serve smaller portions and to
see that nothing of value goes into the
garbage can.
This last injunction already is being
observed in many of the larger cities.
New York and Washington both have
shown a remarkable falling off in the
waste collections. Hotel managers are
cutting down and simplifying their
menus, dining car services are inau-
gurating way portions at reduced
prices and there is a disposition APP
parently general to help the food ad-
ministratlon in its work
Registering the Women.
Or. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president
Of Leland Stanford University, has
been delegated by Mr., Hoover to take
charge of the organization Of the
women for the food commission and
to carry on through them an impor-
tant phase of the work of food conser-
vation and the elimination OF waste
