WOMAN
TRAPS A SPIDER
and TRAINS IT

Wheaton, Ill 4. ), Dec. Educating
a spider is task rarely undertaken.
Mrs. Elizabeth Marriott Noffatt, Of
Wheaton, one Of the few students Of
spiders in the country, however, set
herself to 1t and this is what she
writes of her experience:
by far the most common spider
in this country is the one known as
the black -and-brown speckled garden
spider, Angelena naevia,' said Mrs.
Moffat. THE species although called
the garden spider is often found in
our houses where it builds a fat sheet
web in some corner, always having
a funnel at the rear, into which the
spider can escape when disturbed.
The body Is from one-half to three
quarters OF an inch In length. At
the back end two Of the spinnerets
project, looking like little pointed
tails.
"A fully grown specimen was sap
tured and put into wide-mouthed
balf-ounce bottle. This was laid on
It's side on the library table. Every
day she was given small drop OF
water and one or several houseflies.
The flies were fed to her by placing
one in a bottle similar to that In
which the spider was Gagged, placing
Il card over the mouth Of the bottle
that contained the fly, withdrawing
the cork from the spiders bottle,
placing the two bottles mouth to
mouth, and then removing the card.
"At once the spider would rush into
the second bottle, seize the fly and
return with 1t to her own bottle. She
soon learned to run to the mouth
of her bottle whenever I approached
her with water or fly.
after a few days the cork was
taken out of her bottle so that she
could come and 60 at will. She would
wander about the table crawling
over and around books and papers
but always retreating to her bottle
when frightened. She had built a
small web in it. with crude retreat
at the farther end and had adopted it
al her home.
"She learned so readily to come for
food and water that am led to won
der whether Fabres contention that
every act that spider performs Is
impelled by an instinct that has
come down to it through untold gen
erations,' is not subject to some mod
itication.

Promises Reforms
(By Associated Press.p

II Mexico City, Dec. 2.-In accepting
4he presidency General Obregon
promised to devote his best efforts to
conditions in Mexico. He
Edeclared that Mexico must open Its
doors to foreigners Of good intent and
must protect foreign lives and capi-
Stal. 1t must also settle its interna-
stional bligations.
A return to normal mode Of liv-
ling will be insisted upon as the basis
#of all other reforms. Petty ambitions
must be submerged and the welfare
Ant the whole republic considered.
Education will have more attention
than in the past. New schools will
be established, and schools closed by
the unsettled condition of the coun-
TRY will be re-opened.
Obregon is forty yearsold. Before
going into revolutinary politics he
was business man, and is said to
have accumulated considerable for
tune. His chief reliance in restor-
ing order seems to be to divert the
minds of the people into peaceful
channels, giving them something be-
eides war and bloodshed to think
about.
Peace and progress are his watch
words. He has devoted much atten-
tion to pacifying belligerent factions,
ard places great reliance upon coun-
Hciliatory methods.
The general attitude Of the Mexi'
can people is hopeful. They feel that
the long series of wars and butcher
u les which have extended over a pc
Rod of ten years, are coming to an
end.
