SEEM 10 BE FEWER BLONDES
Observers Have Noticed That Darker
Types of Females Are Beginning
to Predominant.

A silly little story came out OF St.
Louis the other day to the effect that
increased cost of peroxide of hydro
gen was causing the girls out there to
quit bleaching their hair, and, as con-
sequence, fewer blondes were to be
seen. The bleached blonde is one Of
the lay figures Of the joker; or, rather,
of the joker who cannot keep ahead of
the times, because she has been the
target of humorous shafts ever since
the Spanish-American war; Serious
~, though, aren't there fewer blondes
than formerly? How many genuine
yellow-haired girls have you seen in
the street cars in the last month? Very
few; and to one girl with light eyes
and coloring you will see half-dozen
brunettes Of varying shades. Wen
leave it to the sociOlogist to establish
the relationship between the number
of immigrants from southern Europe,
where the people are mostly dark, and
the growing scarcity of real blondes.
The sociologist no doubt can present
all sorts of interesting theories, but we
are confronted with a fact. During
daily journeys on one car line covering
a period of II months one observer has
failed to deery a single blonde that
he would be sworn was genuine; and
he is a person of fair eyesight and
partial to the light ones. What's the
answer p Pittsburgh Gazette Times.

WROTE OF YANKEE POLITICS
Rriton of the Eighties Who Had No
Qualifications as Critic, Was
Humorous.

Brander Matthews, writing his Lon
don Memories" in Scribner's, recalls
period in the early eighties when he
was q contributor to the London Sat
urday Review, at that time, under the
editorship of Walter Pollock, a journal
of marked distinction. Such names as
Lang, Dobson, Gosse, H. D.. Trail, w.
e. Henley Illuminated its columns. Mr..
Matthews was the only American con-
nected with the staff of the "Satur-
day." as the Review was Familiarity
called.
II may confess frankly now that it
was great fun for me, an American of
the Americans" writes Mr.. Matthews,
ito say my say about American topics
in the columns Of the most British of
British periodicals. About American
politics rarely expressed any opinion,
because that topic had been for years
in the care of one of the oldest contrib
utors to the paper, although his long
service had not equipped him with
knowledge of the subject.
"POllock called my attention once to
an article on American affairs in the
current number and wondered wheth-
er it was not all at sea in its opinions,
and ] had to answer that / had count
ed fifteen mistatements of fact in the
first column, whereupon he shrugged
his shoulders and explained that he
was powerless, since he had inherited
that contributor from the preceding
editors.
Il was told, although | forget by
whom, that the ancient light who thus
devoted his mind to the misunderstood
ing of American politics was G. S. Van
ables, otherwise unknown to fame ex-
cept as the man who had broken
Thackeray's nose"
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-01-12

spiders: when undisturbed, spiders never bite
anything except insects useful as their food, but
when attacked or cornered all species open their
jaws and bite if they can, depending on the size
and strength of their jaws. The stories of DEATH
insanity and ameneSS from the bites or SPIDERS
probably untrue"
The species of spider are hard to number. The
spiders of North America have been studied by
Hentz, Emerton, Keyserling and Thorell and no
doubt by number of other men who have spe-
calized in insects, and it is estimated that there
are 800 species in North America. The spider
has heart liver stomach, ntestines, thorax, lungs
and several other interesting organs, as, for ex-
ample, the spinning glands and spinnerets.
1t is recorded that a good many experiments
have been made to throw light on the effect OF
gist named Bertkau, allowed various kinds OF
spiders to bite his hand. Some of them drew
blood giving a sensation like that of a sharp
needle prick The wounds smarted and swelled
somewhat and itched when rubbed, producing very
much the sensation of mosquito bites, but no per-
manent i'll effects followed Another entomolo-
gist named Blackwell, also allowed specimens
of the big spiders to bite his hand. He reported
that he felt particular pain and little lntiam-
nation followed and the wounds soon healed
Still another entomologist named DOleSchall re-
ported that he had shut up small birds with the
Mygale one of the biggest and fercest of the
spider tribe The birds soon died after being
bitten He allowed one of his fingers TO be
bitten by a large jumping spider. The pain was
severe and his finger and then his hand aAd

arm became lame but the soreness soon passed
away.
The Myga1e is the best-knOwn of the large
and heavy spiders 1t is native of tropical and
subtropical America. 1t is said that it catches
then sucks the blood of it's victims The body
of this spider is pitch black and is covered with
long reddish-brown hair. 1t has eight eyes placed
close together in the front of it's head. 1t is
close kinsman to the so-caled bird spider Of
Surinam.
The official name of that American spider called
the tarantula is Ctenza California;, and it is
of the trapdoor spiders. 1t is common in New
Mexico Arizona and California. According to
John Sterling Kingsley, this spider digs its hole
in fine soil which when dry is nearly as hard as
brick. These spider holes sometimes nearly
an inch in diameter and vary in depth from two
and three inches to nearly foot. The mouth of
the hole is enlarged and then closed by thick
cover which fits it tightly. That cover fits into
the mouth of the hole very much as cork does
in the neck Of a bottle. The cover is made of dirt
fastened together with threads and like the hole
is lined with silk and is fastened by thick hinge
made of spiders silk. When the cover is closed
it looks exactly like the ground around it.
This like many other species of spider, is
nocturnal in its habits, raising it's trapdoor at
night and sallyng forth in search of food it's
chief food being insects.
There is so much diversity of opinion as to the
effect of the bite of these spiders that in living
where they are a man should practice safety first
and take no chances with them.

Eqos Not a Necessity.

Why eggs? Breakfast on the conti-
nent of Europe has gone its way in
peace for many years with nothing
more than coffee and rolls. Even in
heavy-eating England a rasher of ba-
con and a bit of tea is quite all right,
without eggs, for breakfast. Samuel
Pepys seems to have got along with
out any breakfast, could do half a
days work without bite. In fact,
breakfast, as a regular meal, is re-
cent institution. It's the two or three
soft-boiled that are here objected to as
particularly tautologic. Ones enough,
and the second is mere absent-minded-
ness. There are lot of little things

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-01-12

The famous tarantula, reported to be one OF the
terrors of the arid parts of the Southwestern
states and northern Mexico and which bulks so
large in the imagination and the fears of those
persons who have friends on the border, is really
not the tarantula of history and of fable.
One Of the numerous students of spiders-and
the tarantuIa is sJIder-Says of that terrifying
insect that it is the Lycosa tarantula, a kind of
spider found in some of the warmer parts of Italy
and Spain. When full grown It is about the size
of a chestnut and of brown color. "Its bite was
at one time supposed to be dangerous says this
authority, "and to cause a kind of dancing dis
ease but it is now known not to be worse than
the sting of common wasp"
1t is very likely that when the early Spanish
explorers came upon the great spider of the South
west and seeing q good deal of resemblance to
the tarantula of the old world-those explorers
not having been scientific entomologsts- they
called the new spider tarantula, and the name
has stuck
There is no doubt that the big spider of Ari-
zona New Mexico, California, old Mexico and
many other places is relative of the tarantula
of Spain and Italy, and in color, disposition and in
the matter of his hairy legs a layman might easily
mistake him for the tarantula. But perhaps there
is not much in a name far as spiders go, and
it is just as we'll to avoid if possible that particu
lar spider which so many Americans call the taran
lula though it is quite certain that the mean
ness of his disposition has been exaggerated
J. H. Emerton, one of the spider experts of the
world, writes after years Of intimate study Of
