Misinformation Common
Naturalist cornés out with the statement that
the tarantula common to the southwestern part of
United States is not only 'a harmless little insect
but on the contrary is beneficial in that it feeds upon
harmless insects such as grasshoppers and cock
roaches.
He states that he has found it extremely diffi
cult to prod the spider into biting him and that its
bite has no noticeable effect.
’ Thus one by one out favorite illusions are dis
sipated by the cold light of Science. Some pro
fesse? wiU be telling Us that rattlesnakes make
ideal playthings for the baby and you can’t get*
warts from handling a toad. Not long ago we read
that hoop snakes never gather themselves into a
hoop and roll down hill in pursuit of their unlucky
victims.
A s « matter of fact there are a host of such
things which ate built upon mere hearsay and be
cause they appeal to the imagination* of the credu
lous they become fixed convictions with many.
Fossibly If facts were all known there are few
poisonous reptiles ot insects in any country in the
sense that their bit ot sting of itself produces
sudden death to humans. The bite of a rat or
sqiprreÎ or the sting of a bee has been known to
cause death or for that matter the same result may
be obtained from the scratch of a pin or nail, but
these things are not considered poisonous as a re

And Yet We Kick At a Second’s Delay
'
In England, the telephrthe system is owned by
the government and is operated through the postal
department. If anyone in London desiren to talk
•oroas the Channel, he mast go to the central post
office and make an appointment, poesibly for the
following day. He must Chen be on hand at the
hour appointed to attend to the call.
What a contrast to our ewn privately owned
telephone system! In onr country anyone may place
a callfrb m his own home and in a few minutes
talk with Anyone in any pakt. of the country, and
even across the ocean to Ixmdon in a few hours.

New law goes into effect in Michigan remov
ing the speed limit on automobiles except inside
of corporation limits. Motorists can still be arrest
ed for “ speeding” but it appears to be up to the
officers to decide when they are speeding. Autoists
can also be arrested for holding up traffic by driv
ing too slow on highways.
This seems to be the tendency of traffic-laws.
For a long time 25 miles per hour* was the limit
after which it was raised to 30 and finally to 35,
which is in many states the present limit. Whether
you like it or not the next step will be to remove
the 35 limit generally and let ’er go.
Some of us may still be old-fashioned enough
to doubt the wisdom of this move, but it appears
the majority of motorists Consider speed more im
portant than safety and the majority is-bound to
rule.
It is true that a great many drivers never pay
any attention to any limit and regularly drive at
from 45 miles an hour upward ta the limit of
their car and it is this argument that is most fre
quently heard in support of the no limit law.
Of course we all know that little can be done to
enforce a law that is so generally disregarded—you
can’t pace half the cars on the highway to see if
they;are breaking the speed*limit.
Guess about all we can do is to widen and
straighten the roads and trust it will be the other
fellow who goes to kingdom come and not u»—
that is in case we don’t want to go.
W hat’s a few smash-ups between friends, any
way!
