On the porch of a mountain cot
tage In Pennsylvania a tln.v spider
was seen to repair her web In a
very interesting manner. The web,
except for the threads that spread
radially from the center, was torn
and weatherbeaten; the spokes., so
to speak, were intact and tightly
stretched. Starting at the center,
the spider ran outward along a ra-
dial thread, sweeping it elear of the
cross threads, breaking them and
collecting the fragments until she
had a tiny bundle. That she would
roll up with her ,-lhw and toss out
Into the air to drop to the ground
as waste material. Apparently the
gummed points of intersection of
threads slie softened quickly by
fluid from the mouth, for she
stripped the spoke perfectly clean.
(The observer found later that he
could not strip a spoke of cross
threads by sliding a split twig along
It.)
Returning to the center along the
stripped spoke, the spider would
free the adjoining spoke, pausing
now and then to throw- away her
tiny ball of waste. Having re
duced her web to spokes only, she
proceeded to replace the part of
the web that she had cleared away,
spinning anew the threads that
were to stretch from spoke to
spoke.
Such a striking example of econ-
omy of time, material and labor
was a delight to see—Youth’s Com-

Happiness was not the direct ob
ject of a stoic’s life. There Is no
rule of life contained in the precept
that a man should pursue his own
happiness. Many men think that
they are seeking happiness when
they are only seeking the gratifica
tion of some particular passion, the
strongest that they have, was the
contention of Marcus Aurelius. The
end of a man Is. as already ex
plained, to live conformably to na
ture, and he will thus obtain happi
ness, tranquility of mind und con
tentment. As a means of living
conformably to nature he must
study the four chief virtues, each
of which has Its proper sphere:
wisdom, or the knowledge of good
and evil; Justice, or the giving to
every man his due; fortitude, or the
enduring of labor and pain and
temperance, which Is moderation
In all things. By thus living con
formably to nature the stoic ob

The belief that cats and owls can
see lp the dark is a popular fal
lacy. The iris of a cat’s eye Is ca
pable of great variation, so as to
admit more or less light, thus en
abling the cat to see much better
In the dusk than can humans, but
in absolute darkness all animals
are as helpless as any human be
ing. The feature which adapts cer
tain eyes for use with only a poor
light Is the constitution of the ret
ina which Is composed of two sets
of structures, the so-called rods and
cones. The rods are apparently af
fected by radiation slightly before
the cones and hence some crea
tures, including owls, whose eyes
imssesa a large proportion of cones,
are better suited for seeing in a
faint light.

Aborigines’ Tobacco
Australian bushmen show great
discrimination In their smoking and
are adept at "curing” wild tobacco.
The leaves of this plant resemble
those of tobacco plants, but are
smaller. The leaf gives off a nico
tine oil, Is pleasant to the taste,
and burns well. After the leaf 1 b
gathered It Is allowed to wilt but
not dry. In the fermentation proc
ess damp sacks are thrown over
the leaves In a warm and shady
place for about a week, Then fol-
lows the drying In some airy place
until the leaf shows a leathery tex-
ture. The midribs and stalks are
now removed and the leaf is ar-
ranged in layers and sprinkled with
heated treacle, rum, and if possi
ble, a little saltpeter. The whole Is
then packed tn a box and pressed
until curing Is complete.

Uncomplimentary
The county inspector was paying
his monthly visit to the village
school. He examined the children
in reading and general knowledge,
as was his custom and was very
pleased with the answers he re-,
celved. After the last question he
rose to his feet and. looking slow

remarked genially: “I wish I was

moment or two there was silence,

The weather bureau says that
the distance at which storm clouds
are visible to the naked eye varies
greatly with one's position and the
kind of clouds. If a person is in
an open flat country and the clouds
are of the broad stratus or layer
type, he may not see them more
than 30 or 40 miles away, and even
not half so far If the air tends to
be misty or hazy. On the other

northeastern Victoria and southern
New South Wales, the snowfall is
very heavy. Forests are practical
