LONDON. May 3 (By The Associated
Press. Lord Northcliffe, leading Brit
ish newspaper publisher, speaking be-
fore American dry goods men who are
visiting this country. at a dinner in
their honor tonight, declared the mis-
understandings between England and
the United States were due largely to
"pin pricks" in the American press
and could be cleared up through frank
ness and cooperation.
Pointing out the effect on interna-
tional relations of newspaper agitation,
he asserted there were certain English
papers which continually and unjustly
misconstrued American affairs, but, he
added, there are many more American
newspapers that continually and un-
justly criticise British affairs"
Lord Northcliffe took up the ques-
tions of difference point by point, lead
ing with Ireland, of which he said {:
I'VE are offering Ireland very generous
terms. believe, were they we'll under
stood by the United States, American
sympathizers with Ireland would urge
Ireland to agree to them.

probably asking for more than she ex-
poets to get. If you can imagine the
feelings of the people of the United
States on hearing that Long Island had
decided to cut loose completely from
the Union you can imagine our views
as to granting autonomy to Ireland.
Many English people who do not
weigh sufficiently the Irish situation in
the United States strongly resent
American comment about Ireland. They
say the Irish question is an English
question. Unfortunately, it also is an
Anglo-American question:"

How coowebs Foretell Weather.

"Cubwehs In the grass prophcSy
fnc weather" How many times we
have heard that. and. hoping for q
pleasant day after storm, have
looked eagerly in the morning for
spiders webs In the wet grass? IL
they are there, We may feel confident
TINT the day Will he fair, for the sIi-
der Is an excellent weather prophet.
Henri Fabre, the wonderful old man
who found Out 80 many of the secrets
OF insects and their kin. tells us that
the threads of the spiders web used
for catching its prey are made use
IeEs by too much dampness. These
threads, SO tiny as to be almost in
visible. are really hollow tubes filled
with sticky fluid which oozes
through the wills and holds whatever
touches the thread. This fluid read
fly absorbs the moisture from the air
and would soon lose It's sticky nature
In the rain or fog. SO the wise spl-
der, loath to waste precious material,
waits until the wet weather Is vir~
tuGlly over before weaving the en-
sna ring threads. How 1t knows what
the weather Is to be Is still one OF the
mysteries.--St. Nicholas.
