'Captain John E.

When a Moro goes Juramatado b taken the most disagreeable weapon he -can find and carve up tbe first Chcistlan 'be meets. When .tbe Moroa saw the soldiers to the water several of them thought was tbe very bent time Jo go J urn ma tatlo, with, the result that those sol dlors Dover went swimming any more. The sultan., who had charge of that particular bunch of Moroa. promptly was-eeut for. The Spaniard wanted to 'know why Uls men were slaughtered In such manner. "w .could 1 help ttr tbe sultan asked. "They went Jaramatado." , Nobody wants to Interfere wltb any body's religion, of course, but there was a SpaulHh gunboat lying around loose in that Immediate vicinity. Tbe governor sent for tbe commander of that gunboat -, "You liawn't hud much target prac tice lately," be remarked to the naval officer, "and you might try a little.

A lot of Moron accidentally gut lilt, and somehow tbe poot flag was mlxlald. so It couldn't lie hoisted. It was a most excited sultan who showed up before tbe Spanish gover nor. If that guntKiiit didu't stop itn nonsenHS ho wouldn't be a sultan any longer, because he wouldn't have uny subjects to sultan over. And he told the governor so.

PERSIAN GULF SPRINGS. Fresh Watsr That Bubbles Up From ths Bsd of the Oosan. Bahrein Island, in the Persian gulf. Is said to be tbe hottest place on earth. It is usual there to find tbe thermom eter at 140 degrees F." On the coast of this island, where practically ail the people live, there la no fresh water. which is needed above all things In so high a temperature. And it Is to be bud from the bottom of tbe sf a. Here and there scattered over tbe floor of tbe harbor of Bubreln are springs of pure - freHb water.' which wells up through the snud to mingle wltb the salt water of the sea. , . It seems n difficult task to find these threads of fresh water amid the ocean's volume, but the Islanders are thought to have f'Amd them ages ago and to have passed on their location from generation to generation. A diver equips hi in. Keif with a water bag made of skins, the month of which is closed, and descends to the bottom Of tbe har-; bor at a point where one of tbe springs issues. The bag Is carefully Inverted over the current of fresh water as it uows up irom me sanu, me mouth Is opened, the skin is filled, tbe mouth is closed, and the diver returns to the boat awaiting him on tbe surface. One scientist gives It as his belief that at some period In the shadowy past that which is now the harbor's bottom . was not covered by tbe sea. The springs were then on the shore and ready for the islanders' needs. Lit tle by little tbe sea encroached on the land. , but. tbe location of tbe springs was not forgotten. ') I DAtTJTY COBWEBS.

If, then, we suppose such a bulr to be of a round form It follows that 10,000 threads spun hv the full grown spider, when taken together, will not be equal In substance to the size of a single hair. To this. If we add that 400 young spiders at tbe time when they begin to spin their welw are not larger than one full gruwu one and that each of these minute spiders possesses tbe same organs as the larger ones.
