When Spiders Mott.

When spider is preparing to molt
1t stops eating for several days and
fastens itself by short line of web
to one of the main lines of its snare.
which holds it Srmly while it proceeds
to undress. The skin cracks all around
the thorax, and is held only by the
front edge. Next the abdomen is un-
covered. Now comes the struggle to
free the legs. 1t works and kicks Wig
orously, and seems to have very hard
work. But continued perseverance of
about 10 minutes brings it out of the
old dress; it seems almost lifeless, and
is limp and helpless for several min
utes, but gradually it comes back to
life and looks brighter and prettier
than before. To young people this is
an operation of extreme interest. A
little boy watched the molting of a
nearly full-grown pet spider, and ran
to his mother, saying: mamma, my
spider undressed and hung his dress
on a line"

Concrete oil Tanks.

Storing oil in concrete tanks is the
invention of an Englishman. A tank
with a capacity of about ten gallons
was recently made with chemically
treated concrete aggregate, and after
being allowed 20 weather" for seven
days molding was filed with paraffin
oil. Thus filled, it was placed in
shed, where it remained for IS weeks; !;
at the end of this period it was care
fully examined. With the exception
of evaporation, no loss had taken
place; there was no sign of leakage,
and the ouside walls of the tank were
free from the smell of its contents.
Upon removal from the spot on which
1t had been standing no trace of paraf-
fin could be detected. nor had the un-
der side of the tank acquired any
smell. This is probably the most Sc
we're test that could be applied to any
container.

SUGAR GROWN UNDER PAPER
New Method Introduced Into the Ha-
Waiian IsIands Said to Have Prov
ed Highly Successful.

A new and very odd method Of grow.
Ing sugar cane is proving highly sue
cessful in the Hawaiian islands. When
the cane is beginning to sprout, yard
wide strips Of heavy kind Of paper
are laid lengthwise over the rows Of
little plants and held in place with
cane-field trash. The paper is strong
enough to keep down and smother the
starting weeds, but not to kill the
stout and hardy young cane. In FIVE
or six weeks the weed seeds beneath
the paper have all germinated and
been smothered to death, but the cane
shoots have either forced their way
through or erected themselves suffi-
ciently to make little tent-like eleva-
tions. Laborers then pass along the
rows and with long knives make slits in
the sheets, permitting the shoots to
come through. The liberated shoots at
hrst are blanched white, but quickly
turn green and lusty. Wedding there
after is almost wholly needless, be-
cause there are very few weeds. There
Is an increase of ten tons (about % per
cent? in the yield of cane per acre, the
Baltimore Sun says. Half the labor Is
saved and the production Of actual su-
gar per acre is augmented by more
than ton. The paper used is made
out of "bagasse." which is the residue
of the cane after the sugary sap has
been squeezed out of it.

Goat Is Regiments Pet.

AS rule, regimental pets are ami
mails which are more easily domesti-
Gated, such as the goat of the Royal
Welsh fusiliers, who have long en-
joyed the privilege of leading theii
pet, with shield on its horns. at the
head of the drums.
On st. David's day, after dinner,
the drum major, accompanied by Billy,
enters the messroom with dish of
leeks. He solemnly makes the round
of the table, followed by the goat, and
offers the national vegetable to each
officer.
Even in the case of such pet ac-
cidents. however, sometimes have hap
pened. Once drummer's boy, a light
weight, was on the goats back, when
some incident annoyed the animal and
the youngster was summarily thrown
on the mess table and killed outright.

FORTUNATE is HOMELY MAN
II UnduIy Attractive, the Unhappy
Male Seems Doomed to Misfor-
tune All His Life.

I have no objection whatsoever to
children being beautiful, or to young
girls being beautiful, or to a woman
Of whatever age being beautiful. But
/ do insist that for a man not to be
homely is his misfortune, Irwin S.
Cobb writes In American Magazine.
The handsome male starts with a
handicap at the very cradle.
Women of all ages insist on cooling
over him and talking baby talk to him
and chucking him under the chin and
kissing him-especially kissing him
and since he is not Of an age to ap-
preciate these attentions the whole
procedure must annoy him fearfully.
Should his beauty last into his boy
hood the chances are that he has the
sort Of mother who will make him
wear his hair long and force him to go
about publicly in broad lace collar
and a black velvet suit with sash
about his waist, and that means other
boys will call him by extensively apt
nicknames and generally make his
young life burden to him.
Most woeful of it all, If still his
beauty sticks to him after he has ar
rived at mans estate, only a de-
termined and persistent struggle
against the odds of destiny and of cir
ing into the ranks of the matinee
idols, the moving picture stars and the
fioorwalkers in the department stores.

In a Girls Pocket.

A great deal has been written, in
both poetry and prose, about the relics
the boys carry in their pockets, writes
the high school reporter for the To-
ronto Republican, but for some reason
they missed the girls. Recently our in
vestigation committee held an inquest
upon a girls pockets and found the
following One scented pocket hand
kerchief, one vanity case containing
powder, mirror and some small change,
one powder rag, one crochet hook, one
ball crochet thread and work, one tat
ting shuttle. one button hook, one nail
file, one wire hairpin, one coat button.
one stick chewing gum, note from
her last beau, and three sen-sens, be-
sides numerous unidentified odds and
ends of a miscellaneous nature.

Wonderful Island.

White island. 80 miles from New
Zealand, is probably the most extraor-
dinary island In the world. 1t con-
sists of an enormous mass of rock
nearly three miles in circumference,
rising 900 feet above the sea, and Is
perpetually enveloped in dark clouds,
which are visible for almost a hundred
miles.
The island is rich in sulphur, which
for some reason has not yet been ade-
quateiy utilized In the interior is a
lake full fifty acres in extent, the wa
ter of which has a temperature of 40
degrees Fahrenheit, and is strongly
impregnated with acids. Great guam
titles of steam escaping from craters
on one side of the lake form the cloud
that continually enyelops the place.

Children's Fancies.

Children live in a world of fancy.

the things they see those things to

child has had no experience by which
to judge the Importance of practical
relations of what they see or imagine.
Even men and women sixty years old

quotations With Which All Are Fa-
mlllar Acquire Popularity Only
Because of Their Merits.

The quotation worthy of the high
title of familiar must have stood
the test Of time and passed unhurt
through the shifs-ng tastes and fash
ions of centuries. In its lofty or in its
humble way 1t must show that, like
Shakespeare. 1t was not for an age,
but for all time" l used the word
humble" because the rhymes of child
hood, of the nursery, fulfill the re-
quirement of age in quotation
worthy to be called familiar Their
intrinsic, their abstract merits may
appear slight, they may even seem to
be sheer nonsense, but they are passed
on by mothers and nurses and by the
children themselves from generation
to generation. We may be assured
that they would not thus have lived
and prospered If they had not pos
sessed some quality, however slender,
of genuine worth, of real humor or
imagination, which gave them per-
manence.
Then there are the popular sayings,
the folk tales and ballads and the
songs of the people with an ancestry
lost In the mists Of antiquity, which,
stored in human memory and kept
alive only by human lips, have come
down across the centuries with their
endless variants until at last they
have been gathered up by the collector
and the antiquarian and made safe
from oblivion by print and paper.
These tales and ballads are often rude
In form and expression, but no curious
inquiry is needed to explain their long
life and lasting familiarity. In them
you find wit and wisdom, sparks
struck from the hard fiints of expert
ence by men and women struggling
