Flies That Kill Spiders. Flies are the natural prey of spiders, yet, strange to say, there are in Brazil some files which prey on spiders. These daring little usects do not differ much from ordinary flies. They are hymenoptera, and Pepsis ornata is a typleal fvsect of this kind. They usually come upon the spiders when the latter are unprepared and sting them to death.

Stevens and His T Rail and Canard's Clipper Ship Model, Robert Livingston Stevens sailed | from New York to Liverpool before | the advent of the ocean steamer. In | those days the passage took two months, and Stevens passed many an hour, jackknife in one hand and a | piece of wood in the other, brooding ! over a problem that had Siren worried him--how to run a railroad without | stone stringers for tracks. He wanted to get an iron rail that would "hold" | and would take the plsce of the thin | strips fastened to the chair of the roadbed. Just before he reached Eng- land his whittling revealed. to him the | solution of his problem, and that so- | lution took the form of a T rail with a broad base that could be applied di- rect to a solid wood support. That T rail is still in use on all railways | of the world. The elder Cunard, who was appren- is sald to have amused himself in whittling the hulls of vessels. Occa- gionally he would fit one of these with | masts, sails and rigging complete. | Tired of familiar types, he would ex- { | periment with new ships, and one of | these it was that attracted the atten- tion of his master, because it would | not maintain its upright position in the water. Experiments were made | to ballast it in order to give it the | proper trim. The clipper-like shape | and graceful long lines of the model i promised, great speed. Such is said | You know I was not rich, be- | to be the origin of the standard model | of the Cunard and later ocean grey- hounds. | | the Bible which were considered neces- sary to a better understanding of the text.

"Well, if that's what it is," said Bob- | by, "our family Bible is revised, "cause | pa changed it the other day. He scratched out the date of your birth and made it three years later. He told ma something about you and Mr. Slow and said that it wouldn't do any barm nohow, and if Mr. Slow wanted to look ! at it it might do a deal of good." Presenily the young man went away, and a family consultation was held. It resulted in Bobby passing a sleepless night. Indian Headsmen. Nowhere is to be found a more pom- pous or a more awe inspiring person than the headsman, who plays in India the role which the official hangman plays in a European city. His deadly work he performs with great skill, and in his bearing there is a certain dignity which is never seen in a European hangman. Moreover, while in Europe the populace regards a hangman with a feeling which is partly contempt and partly horror, the people of India respect and fear the public executioner and never seem to think that he has lowered himself in the social scale by accepting the office of headsman. On festive occasions and when ar- rayed in his robes of office the execu tioner is decidedly a picturesque figure and altogether different from the som- ber and grim hangman of Europe.

The truth is that a drowning persom may sink the first time mever fo riser again, or he may, as be indeed does in the majority of cases, rise three times before he sinks forever.
