Our story of a man being blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion of
bomb which he did not hear must seem
incredible to many people. Here is
something like an analogy.
King Edward once brought together
at his dinner table Rustem Pasha, who
had had half his right hand and part
Of his arm torn off by a bear, and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow munched
away by tiger
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled all other senses. = London

BIG STARS IN LIBERTY BILL
 FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT ONLY

DOUGLAS, Nov 19.-In the Metre picture. Her Boy,' starring Fife Shannon, popular favorite of the stage, and Niles Welch, which will be presented at the Liberty theatre or Wednesday, the audience will see glimpses of spiders that were trained to act in several scenes.
 The scenes wherein the spiders performed were staged in typical .old-fashioned telegraph office in a drowsy little town. The operator is seen asleep and when he awakens and finds spider climbing over his feet which are propped up on the table, he calls the colored porter tc remove the pest
 In order to be sure to have the large black species of spider needed Director Irvine had the property boy bring several large spiders up from Florida, where many of the exterior scenes were staged. The spiders were brought to the New York studio in glass jars.
 It was with great difficulty that the spida.'s were made to act. After several of the spiders were given rtry-outs, the director chose -ones large one to play the needed action. Ii took considerable patience and train ing to get the spider to crawl over the telegraph operators shoe in view .of the camera At last the spider learned what was wanted and an un usual bit of detail was recorded on the film for Metros "Her Boy"
