European rarantuIa.

An eminent authority In such mat
tiers, In remarking that the tarantuls
is spider, says of that terrifying
creature that 1t Is the Lycosa Taran-
tula, a species Of spider found In some
Of the warmer parts of Italy and
Spain. When full grown It Is about
the size Of q chestnut and Of brown
color. Its bite was at one time sup
posed to be dangerous and to induce
kind Of dancing disease" but now
1t IL known not to be worse than the
sting Of common wasp.
1t is an old fable. extending to re-
hottest times, that the bite OF this spi-
der would produce epilepsy or
strange dancing mania In It's victims
and that this epilepsy or madness
could be relieved only by particular
kind Of music. ThS tAr&ntula of Italy
and Spain-And It Is found in those
countries todAy-has hairy legs with

The figures l have quoted from the
calculations Of Savorgnan and Mallett
were middle before the war was finished
Since the war, estimates have been
made, and these estimates show the
situation to be even worse. In France
l was told that 81 per cent OF the men
between twenty and forty years we're
listed as dead or incapacitated for
work. Further, that 1t would take
France over 70 years to recover her
normal population.
1t is said that it Will take Italy 80
years and England rs years to regain
normality Of population.
The human waste of the war Is more
than sad memories. The loss Of man
power makes grave problem, It has
thrown out Of balance the { nestle
scheme Of the world. 1t will be felt
for years. There are great many
more young women than men. Home
life Is bound to suffer. There will be
fewer marriages, fewer children. Sta
