SCIENCE IN SHORT CHAPTERS
(BY REV. N. SHULTZ.)
1. Spiders — from a scorpion
down to a seed tick. —All spiders
are poisonous although they' are
not all vicious but to the contrary
they may become great pets by
gentle treatment and various
stories have been told by lone pris-
oners whose only companions had
been a spider who had not consid-
ered it below her dignity to make
her home inside of a prison wall.
There is not a school boy living
who has not seen how affectionate-
ly the female takes care of her
eggs. While still in the egg many
spiders hold them inside of a spun
ball which they attatch to their
backs; while after they are hatch-
ed the young crawl upon the back
of their mother and are fed by her
like little birds in the nest.
Many a time I have seen an appar-
ently large spider which by touch-
ing it with a stick went all to
pieces so to say that isthe young
of which there seemed to be more
than a hundred scattered in all
directions leaving the mother
spider her natural size. 1 have
even seen a scorpion with fourteen
young ones attached to her back
all of which were about one-third
grown giving the old one the ap-
pearance of a giant among her
kind. Spiders have many curious
ways about them and there is no
telling where one might find new
wonders petformed by the mem-
bers of the great family arachnida.
It is most wonderful how many
different kinds of artificially con-
structed webs there are to be
found from the small corner
web in a stable with its
channel which served as a hid-
ing place for the spider to the
large tangle web which reaches
from branch to branch in a forest
and woven in he most symmetri-
cal manner and the little webs
which in the morning cover the
prairie like a sheet appearing
somewhat like a light hoar frost
in their light touch of dew and
the long strings of the gossamer
spider which fly about in the air
to strike your face at all angles
and all tim<-s. The gossamer spi-
der is the balloonist of the family.
She spins her long fibre which
is mucn lighter than the air then
detaches it from the object to
which it adhered while being spun
crawls back to about the centre
and away she sails on the wings
of the wind. The bell spiderwhich
lives in some of our small lakes
and streams is very fond of water
but as she does not like to
get wet she spins a bell
about the size of a child’s
thimble inside of which sho
stays and then thimble and all she
descends into the deep. As soon as
the air has been exhaasted she re-
turns to the surface after a fresh
supply. One of the most curious
nests in the world is that of the
trap door spider which has a lid
on top and whenever the spider
retires she carefully shuts the door.
The whole nest is built with a mass
of web and those found in various
parts of Texas average about four
inches in depth and an inch in
diameter. Spiders follow different
methods in securing their prey and
while the greater number of species
make some sort of a web there
are others like the tarantula who
go hunting in nighttime seeking
whom they might devour. Others
like the jumping species pounce
like cats upon their prey while the
great bird spiders of the tropics are
always deliberate in their work
and take their ease in doing things
gracefully.
The most poisonous spider in
our country is the tarantula
which however is not very danger-
ous considering that they are so
common in Texas and yet one
rarely hears of a case where a per-
son was struck. Our Texas scor-
pions are small compared to some
of their sisters in the tropics
while the socalled vinegarone
which lives under rocks along the
borders of Mexico is the last one
of its kind to be selected for a pet
or a plaything. Whether or not
the vinegarone Is deadly the fact
remains that the ignorant Mexi-
can population stands in holy awe
before the sting of the black vine-
garone.

DALLAS LETTER.
Dallas Tex. Jan. 16 1895.
To the Daily light:
The weather still threatens but
the rain does not come. Cisterns
are failing going dry one after an-
other. Since August people have
waited for the ground to become
water-soaked in order to plant
something for winter.
Joy went round in the News
composing rooms on the day that
Miss Jeannett Belo daughter of
Col. A. H. Belo became Mrs. Dr.
Charles Peabody. A banquet was
tendered the seventy odd employes.
The banquet was spread in the
composing rooms which bad been
cleared for the purpose. The mar-
riage was to have taken place In
Dallas but on account of an old
army wound Col. Belo had to re-
main in New York under a sur-
geon’s treatment.
The tragic death of Dr. Jesse E.
Grace of Weimer was first read by
his friends in the Light. Apropos
of this. A staunch ante bellum
Democratic rebel remarked ‘'That
little old Republican paper some
way manages to get every thing
that is going. It is certainly a
first-class afternoon paper.”
Dr. Grace had warm friends In
Dallas. When visiting the fair last
fall be invested in some full-
blood registered Jersey. After the
investment had been made your
correspondent met him in the
poultry exhibit. He told us of his
recent Investment and took us to
see his purchase. “I relied upon
the seller’s judgment” he said to
mein speaking of the selection he
made.
Doubtful and suspicious-like we
expressed surprise that left the se-
lection to the party who had the
cattle for sale.
“I know the gentleman to be an
honest man” he said.
We started he full of hope with
the the prospects of a bright future
before him.
During the holidays it was an-
nounced by the board that an ex-
amination for teachers desiring
positions in the public schools
would be held during the last of
the week.
The examiners made ready one
of whom came 16 miles through the
coldest weather of the week to be
at his post of duty on the specified
day. Another who had decided to
spend the week visitingin Wichita
meandered home to be on hand
but no applicants “hove in sight.”
The uncertainty of a place the cost
of the examination and the rigid-
ity and extra number of studies
that has been added to the list
will not make wage-earners
rush into the Dallas school
examination. Nor Will It prove
as profitable to the board of exam-
iners. Three dollars to go before a
board to tell them which you don’t
know. If you are so fortunate as
to get a certificate. Should you not
get a place within a year it is de-
clared null and void and to again
become eligible one must needs
pay over another $3.00 and perhaps
fail to get the required average
necessary to get a certificate.
Our city schools are good. The
teachers are all worthy the places
and it seems a little unreasonable
to require later applicants for any
grade certificate to be examined in
five studies more than formerly.
Rev. J. I). Hunter is in receipt of
a letter from Mr. D. L. Moody. The
great evangelist says he is to begin
a meeting in San Antonio the first
of next month. As soon as the
dates for this city can be arranged
he will advise the pastor.
The city papers published it that
Cole Younger had been pardoned.
His mother-in-law telegraphed to
Minnesota to ascertain if the news
were true. Word came back that
there was no truth in the report.
The civil service examination for
the postal department is to be held
February sth. The list of eiigibles
is by no means exhausted. The
names of three women are on the
roster one has headed the list for
the past nine months. There are
five positions to which the govern-
ment decrees women are eligible
but no woman has been favored
with an appointment by a Dallas
postmaster since the civil service
regime. Barring women out of
such positions is doing a great deal
to swell the army of woman suf-
fragists.
Since the cold wave it has been
deemed advisable to open the
door of the organized charity
again.
The St. Mathew’s chapter of the
brotherhood of St. Andrew has
made arrangements with a ns-
taurant to honor meal tickets.
They deem it advisable to give
tickets instead of money to those
applying for food.
The Carnival of Mirth for the
benefit of a public library promises
to be a taking entertainment.

ing counterfeit money had an ex-
amining trial before United States

before Christmas. Mrs. Cole wel-
comed her to her home. Miss New-

Massie advised her to go to Terrell
for treatment and she agreed to It.
Judgs Wash was consulted an af-

out by her physician. It was found
if she was declared Insane by ths

officer was consulted. He consented
to receive her in the hospital. She
was sent there last Thursday Fri-
day she walked away and nothing
