due to the preparatory treatment. At no
time did the guinea-pig refuse to use the
leg in walking around.
For the next bject the professor
selected white rat, about one month old.
The tender skin of this animal was of
advantage in this experiment, as the
tarantula was easily induced to implant
her fangs deeply into the flesh of the right
hind leg, and without difficulty repeated
the act.
The four spots where the fangs had
penetrated assumed a reddish appearance; |;
but the blood did not gather in a drop.
When the tarantula struck, the rat
struggled and gave other evidence of pain.
"At first, Immediately after the taran-
tula had struck, the rat seemed bewil-
dered," writes Professor Baerg. with
eyes closed it ran about in the cage hold
ing up the wounded leg. After about fif-
teen minutes it ceased to run and for half
an hour it jumped around in a jerky way.
"Then it seemed to 60 into a state of
coma. For half an hour it remained
rather quiet, with only sudden movement
of the legs now and then. During the
two hours following the rat moved about
restlessly, holding the wounded leg close
to the body. Later It became quiet again
and soon began using the wounded leg.
-Four hours from the time II was bitten
the rat opened its eyes and an hour later
it behaved as II it had entirely recovered.
After several hours it partook of hearty
meal, consisting of milk and cornmesl.

so much about the deadly bite of the
tarantula in that locality that he decided
it would be worthy scientific enterprise
to prove just how venomous the big
spiders are. In the course of his interest
ing investigations he bravely submitted
his own body to the bite of the venomous
spider. He describes his exciting expe
rience in the Scientific Monthly.
Professor Baerg says he did not suffer
any dangerous effects from the bite of
the tarantula, but it should be stated that
Professor Charles T. Vorhies, of the Uni
versity of Arizona, who made an exten
sive study of venomous spiders in his
locality, traced four cases where serious
illness followed tarantula bite.
The Ozark Mountains of Arkansas con-
tain large variety of tarantulas. When
Professor Baerg came to the University
of Arkansas he heard many weird stories
telling how the tarantulas would jump on
a person from a distance of fifteen to
twenty-five feet and how their bite was
almost always fatal. Nothing on earth,
they said, was quicker than a tarantula
on the jump.
'1 developed considerable curiosity in
regard to these terror-inspiring objects"
says the professor. Upon learning that
these spiders were fairly common on the
stony hillsides near the college campus,
| Immediately set to work. and in a short
time assembled a small collection"
In the Ozarks the tarantulas live in
holes from eight to twelve inches in depth.
These are apparently not made by the
spiders, but are captured from gophers,
ground squirrels and others, who give up
their homes rather than share them with
a tarantula. Most of the holes when the
spiders are at home are covered with a
thin webbing.
Flooding the holes with water did not

A United States army sur
gcon told an Arizona farmer
that there could not be a skunk
whose bite always gave hydro
phobia and was received with a
look of pitying scorn by the
man, who said:
young man, if you're ever
bitten by hydrophobia skunk,
you'll never live to make any
such remark again"
The tarantula, monster
hairy spider, whose appearance
naturally excites repulsion, is
generally regarded as very
deadly. 1t is established that
the tarantula possesses venom
with which it paralyzes its prey.
Men who handle punches Of
bananas from tropical ports, in
which the tarantulas often con-
ceal themselves, spend a lot of
time shaking the fruit before
they put their hands on it in
order to eliminate the insects.

The bite of the tarantula and the Gila

certain death in the localities where these
ANIMALS are common. They tell stories
of the many persons they have positively

RENSON, AriZ., Feb. 13.-For IL
wears Benson residents have been try
ing to get county officials TO put the
streets of their town into first-class
shape. And for IL years the streets
have been practically untouched, al
though certainly a 'touchy" subject
with Benson people.
But now Benson has shifted its IN
terest from the office OF the board OF
supervisors and the county engineer
to the sheriff's office. And while
Benson is not such large town, 1t is
giving Sheriff Joe Hood plenty TO
think about and, in turn, seems 20
be thinking considerable about Joe.
Several incidents have aroused the
intense interest of Benson. One VIM
the shooting of Red" Osborn on Jan

constable and deputy sheriff. An
other incident was the disappearance
of two cases of alleged Canadian Gu

SCIENCE TAKES
MUCH|NTEREST
IN TAYLOR CASE

LOS ANGELES, Feb l3.-The vi
carious father daughter relationship
between those who are not kin-the
most mystic OF the emotions-ruled
much of the latter life of William
Desmond Taylor. murdered movie di-
rector.
Such. at least, is the Freudian eX-
PLANTATION for the remarkable sway
he exercised over many OF the most
beautiful and talented young women
stars of the film world-women who
idolized the slain director and who
TODAY mourn him almost PC eothH~
Among the screen actresses who
say they have shared this high regard
for Taylor are Mabel Normand, Neva
Gerber. once engaged to marry him,
Mary Miles Mintar and others whose
photos graced the walls of the nome
in which lie was shot on the night Of
Feb. l.
Toward them, BY their singularly
similar acknowledgement, Taylor as
sumed paternal attitude. with here
and there a romantic fringe, more or
less ephcmeral.
Emotions Not Anayzed
That some of the maids who idol
lied this mysterious man of enigmatic
career and striking personality may
not have oomprehended their own
emotions is considered likely by
psycho-analysts working with police
detectives in an effort to illuminate
the directors emotional life for what
hint of motive it might reveal.
That Taylor. on the other hand, had
pretty thoroughly analysed his own
feelings is indicated by his definite
and absorbing interest in the Freudi-
an thories.
II was Freud's latest book, today
80 widely discussed, which Taylor
presented to Mabel Normand as his
last gift but half an hour before he
was assassinated and which the two
had been discussing before Miss Nor
mand left his home the night Of theh
murder.
Disciples of Freud who profess to
see in Taylor's recent life a typical
example of the 'father-daughter'' re-
lationship, ascribe it's genesis to his
mysterious separation from his fam
lily in New York, when he changed
his name from Tanner to Taylor.
Daughters Effect
The birth of a daughter. Ethel Dai
OF Tanner, now nineteen years old
apparently had profound effect up
on the man who was later to become
one of the most famous film directors
1t was the pent-up paternal love
which he could not expend upon his
daughter for which he found a substi
tute in professional guidance Of
young screen stars. and this accounts
for his deep interest in many of. them

so the psycho-analysts studying the
case would have it.
A number of these young stars, the
Freudians presume, saw in their old
err mentor and confidante the father
image" a common phenomenon in the
realm, of psychology.
What stars Say
Here is what some of the young
women celebrities say regarding their
friendship for the slain director:
MABEL NORMAND: There new
,er was an affair of the heart between
Mr. Taylor and myself. Our friend
ship was that of an older man for 6
girl who was eager to learn from him
and who admired his sterling, whole
some character and high sense of hon

NEVA GERBER: Il was engaged
to marry Mr.. Taylor. Two years age
we broke it off amicably because we
felt the match unsuitable, largely be
cause of disparity in age. Our friend
ship, however, remained"
MARY MILES MINTER: "Ht
looked upon me more or less as {
child. | loved him devotedly but mo-
in a romantic way. | never knew {
man like him."
Taylor's screen associates say he
was never so happy as when directing
youngsters or playing with children
in whom he il presumed to have
found substitute for his own chile
