Native to New Guinea is a giant spider, its body as big as a hazelnut, -with hairy legs two inches long. It 'spins a web six feet in diameter and , H' very strong. Advantage of this fact is taken by the cannibals of the island, who set ' up long bamboo sticks in places fre- ' quented by the spiders, thereby offering an invitation to the arachnids to spin webs across them. By this simple means (if one is to believe the story) ready-made nets , are obtained which the canibals use t for catching fish. | Realm of Oratory. * ' "I never hear you mentioned as a ( great orator.*' "No," replied Senator Sorghum.

In spite of all dispute and competition +i;e rose seems to hold its place as the ideal and the typical flower. There are some who will question the assertion. The simple grace of violets has its perennial charm. To certain hearts i 'the incomparable pure candor of lilies speaks more searchingly than the passionate crimson glory of the rose. And the large increase of botanical and horticultural ingenuity has given the curious splendor of the orchid a prominence that it could not claim in earlier times. Yet the rose reigns supreme and apparently always will. Its artificiality, its infertility, its sacrifice of usefulness, of fruitfulness, to beauty seem rather to enhance its ft hold upon the esteem of its adorers. The poets have made it their own and by centuries of worship have given it a symbolical glory that perhaps its original charm could hardly have deserved. From the earliest ages of literature the rose stands out as the embodiment of color, of radiance, of all the passionate perfection of pure beauty in the mysterious and haunting complexity of life. The Middle Ages, with their strange fancy for allegorical interpretation, wove about the ideal rose a great wreb of romantic legend. Shakespeare, with his marvelous gift of words, summed up all the intensity of love in one dazzling figure of a rose: For notihng this wide universe I call, Save thou, my rose; in it thou art my all. And as the rose has been made to image the concentrated beauty of life, so it has come to stand for its fragility. Strength, grace, wisdom and delight decay; but nothing more quickly reaches its splendor of perfection and more quickly passes away from it than roses. So have sung the poets of Greece and Italy and every other age and clime, none more deliciously than Spenser in his description of the Bower of Bliss: So passeth, in the passing of a day, Of mortall life the leafe, the bud, the flowre: Gather therefore the Rose whilest ANY MAN WHO PARTS Great Bi i IS DO!

These letters are full of noble thoughts and witty comments. They are also full of roses, and the glow and glory of the roses show a surprising radiance over the dull routine of a scholar's life.' See how they shine and quiver?and fade?in this passage in which the great scholar would impart his ecstasy to all of us: f"Ah, what a world?with roses, sun/rise and sunset. Shakespeare.

VIRGIN ISLANDS PRODUCE FINE QUALITY OF COTTON ( Cotton raising has become one of the principal industries of the Virgin Islands, Uncle Sam's newest ter-! | ritorial possession, according to Bulletin No, 1, Sea Island Cotton in St. Croix, of the Virgin Islands Agricultural Experiment Station, just issued j by the United States Department of Agriculture. Sea-Island cotton, the much-prized long-staple variety which has been .rendered almost extinct in continental United States by the boll weevil,] is the basis of the Virgin Island in-j dustry. The area devoted to it, while yet small, produced an average of 1,000 pounds of seed to the acre in 1919 and 1920. One of the plants at the Government experiment station produced at the rate of 4,450 pounds of seed cotton. Since the establishment of the experiment station in 1911 the aim has been to secure varieties of cotton resistant or immune to the blister mite, and which also possesses a heavybearing quality with extra long, fine lint. A series of experiments has been undertaken in crossing sea island with other varieties in the hope of getting a more remunerative type. Some of these hybrids show an even heavier yield than pure sea island while retaining the desirable characteristics of the latter and the resistant Qualities of the other variety. ssr*c*cr3^r<r?t WITH A SINGLE DOLLAR W THIS asiness Ad.
