SPIDER REALLY HAS BRAINS
rs Possessed of Degree of Intelligence
That Has Been Recognized by
Scientists.

Spiders are commonly spoken of as
insects, but they aren't. They belong
to a very different order of animals,
being "arachnids."
They get this name, by the way
from a NEUROLOGICAL maiden named
Arachne, who was so proud of her
weaving that she challenged Minerva
to trial of skill. The goddess ac-
cepted the challenge, but finding her.
self In danger of defeat, lost her tenn
per, struck her presumptuous rival and
turned her into spider.
The spider is incomparably more
intelligent than any insect, and its
cleverness as a maker of nets obtain
ed for ii a well-warranted admiration.
1t is the female that does this work,
the male being only a fraction of her
size and of no account except for con-
tnuing the species.
A spider has what may be called
recognizable brain. But so, for the
matter of that, has a caterpillar,
though less well developed. The nerv-
GUS system of the latter is a mere string
with knots of nerve stuff (ganglia) at
intervals along 1t.

The Stoke Park estate, once the
home of the Penns, has been placed
on the market. On this property is a
monument put up by John Penn in
memory of the poet, Gray. On three
sides are quotations from the Elegy.
on the fourth is an inscription saying
that the stone was erected in 1873

he "lies unnoticed in the adjoining
churchyard under the tombstone on
which he piously and pathetically re-

ment, (which in sense has become

RISK LIVES CARRYING MAILS
Swiss Postmen Face Grave Dangers
in Execution of Their Duty
Among the Mountains.

There are several post offices in
Switzerland at height of 1000 or
more feet and a mail box on the very
summit of the Vanguard from which
four collections are made daily, is
nearly 10000 feet above the sea level.
Near here some years ago three letter
carriers were crushed to death by an
avalanche. In an adjacent canton, In

years afterward. in 1897, the glacier
cast forth its prey many miles lower
down the valley, and the long-lost let
tiers were delivered to as many of the
addresses as could be traced.
Not infrequently. too, these Alpine
postmen are attacked by the huge,
fierce eagles that soar kungrily above
the least frequented crags Usually
the men are able to beat off their
feathered assailants but not always.
In July one year postman who car
ried the mails on foot between the vii
lagos of Sospello and Puget Theniers
was fatally mauled by three such
birds. Of two men who attempted to
avenge his death one was killed out

that his life was for long time in

EASY FOR FRENCH PEASANTS
American Tourists Expected to Pour
Golden Flood Through the War;
Devastated Regions.

Commenting on the American sum-
mer rush to Europe, especially to the
French battlefields, Customs Inspector
Henri Duval said in New Orleans:
II am reminded of a tourist anec-
dote.
"In many French provinces every
peasant raises each year for his fam
ily's use one or two enormous pigs.
Nothing of the pig is discarded-the
fat Is boiled down for lard the blood
is made into blood buildings; the hams
are cured; the chops are sailed; the
feet are dried; the meat in the head
is chopped into sausage meat; even
the ears are preserved; an occasional
slice Of ear being used to enrich the
soup. And the tail? Oh, yes, they
use the tail, too. 1t is stewed with
vegetables and contains, they say,
tiny morsel of delicious meat.
But to return to the anecdote. An
American touring the north of France
one summer before the war, asked a
peasant what the people Whereabouts
lived on.

piled the.peasant, and tourists in the
