Doubts ~Psychism" Of Spiders.

1t has been asserted that spiders
possess sensitiveness to musical
sounds. Some species seem to respond
to the note of the piano, the harp, the
flute, and SO on, In manner sugges-
tive Of their ability to recognize these
sounds or the harmonic vibrations on
which they are based.
But member Of the College Of
France, who is said to have made a
special study Of the instincts and the
supposed "psychism" Of spiders, thinks
that the apparent sensitiveness Of
these creatures to music has been mis-
understood. 1t is his opinion that
when musical instruments are played
near their nests the spiders simply feel
the vibrations through their webs, or
otherwise, without recognizing the mu-
steal notes as sounds. The effect upon
them is similar to that Of the buzzing
Of an entrapped fly. He does not
ascribe much intelligence" to spiders.

One of the most remarkable ora

Depew was the famous dinner in New

ian orator as well as fighter" gave
wonderful word picture of the great
review in Washington of the victor
ious Union army at the close Of the
Civil war and its subsequent disband-

to their peaceful homes. This speech
was followed by an equally remark
able address by Henry w. Grady Of
Georgia, in which he told Of the
homecoming Of the Confederate
army, defeated, ragged. poor, but with
undaunted courage, taking up the bat

homes. Each of these triumphant

authority over the whole situation.
The 1920 act did not figure in this OLD

brought into the case, and no cog

preme Court. Only that kind of
thoughtless public sentiment which
desires to punish corporations regard
less of the public welfare will urge
immediate and literal enforcement of
the decision. The 1920 act makes it
clear that it is the intent Of Con-

Coal Dealer Finds Pennsylvania Merchants Suffer From Walkout

The strike in the anthracite coal fields will be over by the end of this week. according to the general feel ing throughout that section of Penn sylvania. as observed by Nathan Der son. of the Berson Coal company. who has just returned from a tour of the coal fields. MT. Berson made an ex- haustive trip through the entire an- thracite region, starting at Scranton, which is the metropolis of the upper anthracite coal fields, and going through the cities of Wilkes Barre, Hazleton, and down to Pottsville in the lower fields and thence on through Tamaqua. Mahoney City, Ashland and Mount Carmel. to sha- mokin and paxinos. the extreme western end of the anthracite fields.
 In all the cities named he found the miners tired of the strike. There was discontent everywhere. The working people are "broke." Their savings are gone. Merchants are car rying thousands of dollars worth of credit on their books. Hundreds of business places are in such financial
 
 the coal man said.
 One coal operator stated that he was carrying weekly payroll of $1S,- 900 and had not produced a pound of coal since April.
 In corroboration of this condition, MT. Berson shows a clipping from the Hazleton (Pennsylvania) Plain-Speak- CT, written by Edward J. Hunter, for merly city editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger and now a feature writer on the North American, who made tour of the regions to investi- gate. Mir. Hunter says in part:
 Everybody in this center of the an thracite region is absolutely sick of the coal strike. Everywhere the de- mand is for an immediate ending of the selfish struggle, which has been in progress for five months,
 The miner is certain that he has the operators at his mercy and that peace on his terms is bound to come But he is exhausted financially and his credit is sadly attenuated. So he is anxious that there shall be as little quibbling as possible. He wants to go back to the mines and feel again the sensation of drawing down months pay.
 Representatives of the operators here see an empty market, simply waiting for the inrushing coal cars, and with no one anxious to debate price. They are anxious to have peace that will preclude cessations of operations for a long period to come, and they want to tie the miner up so he won't find it easy to strike again without coming in conflict with pub lie sentiment. But they, too, are equally anxious that the settlement shall be reached without unnecessary debate"
 He writes that the business men are hard pressed for cash and want to see the collierles resume.
 Mir Hunter hints that some of the anthracite miners are criticising President Lewis for alleged delay in settling the hard coal suspension claiming that he used the situation in one field to get the advantage of the operators in the other.
