i STORM IN THE ROCKIES. ..]
i I The Thunder Worse Than the I
Rear of a Battle.
i If you have never seen a mountain
? thunderstorm at an elevation of 7,000
J feet or more you have -missed an exi
perience that will add gray hairs to
your head. Here is the story of a
; storm among nature's massive sentii
neis upon whom it left a lasting impression:
i "To mo a thunderstorm back east
j held no special terrors, and freque.u
i ly I have been out in such a deir,ontration
without fee.ing any especial
nervousness.
"Up here on the xtocky Mountains
things are different, and I confess
now to rive in an awfu* ?^ect terror
of a thunderstorm, especially at nigh:
in my tent. I suffer this terror notwithstanding
the fact that so far the
storms have in every instance except
one gone around or beneath us without
even raining enough to wet the
ground. But it is the 'going around
and beneath' that gets into my
! nerves. In the first place imagine
what it is to be one and a half miles
nearer -a rip roaring thunderstorm
than one is 'back home.' There you
have occasional flashes of lightning;
here it is one continuous dazzling,
awe inspiring performance^ The lightning
strikes, too, for it is no uncommon
thing during a storm to hear the
rocks splintering and cracking whe*o
one especially vigorous bolt has
landed.
Add to this nerve racking exhibit
the most awful detonations of thunder
that you can imagine and a
'straight blowing' wind that some!
times makes the flaps of your tent
play a ragtime melody, and you have
t some idea of a mountain thunderstorm.
The thunder is worse than
the sound of a mighty battle, it
' bangs up against the mountain side
t and reverberates and roils off into
one ear splitting concussion after another
until you, lying quaking in your
tent, fully believe that the next
1 'boom' will split mountain and valley
in twain and land you in China or
some other seaport town.

ways in the same place, curled up ber-ath
a leaf, limb, or fence rail. For
this reason it is almost impossible to
find it until it reaches maturity, when
its conspicuous ep:g cocoons tell of its
proximity. These, three to five in
number, are hung within a few inches
of one another, fully exposed to the
sun. They are made one at a time at
intervals of tea or fifteen days. At
nightfall the spider crawls out to one
of the outermost branchlets and there
engages in a most wonderful operation.
The branchlet selected is always one
that retains a clear space of at least
two or three inches below it when depressed
by the spider's weight. A few
.short threads are first placed irregularly
abcut the extreme tip of the
branchlet and along its under cide for
a distance of several inches while adrHMnnnl
threads are carried out to ad
jacent branches to lend stability to
the part.- '
The spider now hangs back downward
by its legs to the lower threads stretched
along the under side of the branehlet.
Attaching: a now thread to one of the
others ncsar one end, it crawls alone
the horizontally inclined threads below
the bracchlei drawing out the ne.v
thread tie while from its spinning organ
t j the length of about two inches
The thread naturally falls below th*
others, the spider taking care that ii
shall remain free from entanglement.
The spider with its newly drawr
thread still attached now exudps a verj
small quantity of viscid matter tipor
the thread at its juncture with th'
sninnerels. No other p^rt of this
thread bears :aoy viscid matter, nor is
any subsequently added.
Pressing the tips of its hind legs
firmly upon the thread ft pushes eael
leg backward, alternately, allowing
the thread to slip between the short
stiff hairs which clothe them. Witt
each extension a small quantity ol
viscid matter is pushed outward anr
away from the abdomen as far as the
leg will reach. At the end of abou'
twenty seconds, during which time
i a?~,7?/I ftr ton tlTTiOS
CJICil U',? IS- CAlirimru u^ui */? <vu
there results a globule averaging a bom
3-32 ineh-in diameter.
This finished, the snider undertakes
to release itself by severing the lint
between its body and the globule. Ob
viously to release the ball suddenly
fastened as it is to a nearly horizonta
line, would be to allow an oseillatioi
which might retidily resnlt In some sorl
of entanglement and the coosequenl
destruction of the pendulum. To guard
against such an occurrence the snidei
first lengthens the line by playing i1
out hand over band, as it were, precise
ly as a human might perform a like
operation, save that legs were usee
in the place of arms, the foot beinc
well fitter! to grasp and hold a thread.
The ball having been carefully lowered
until its supporting line hangs
vertically, or nearly .so, the thread
running to the spider is severed by a
dexterous movement of the clawed
i

Coot, tlie free end losing itself in the
globule. As soon as the thread is cut
the spider turns about and approaching
the pendulum thread seizes it from
I above, with its legs. In this act the
performer hanga by two or more of
the legs of one side to the horizontally
inclined thread to which the pendulum
thread is attached.
Reaching well down with one of Its
! long, arri-like forelegs, it grasps the
pendulum thread between the claws
with which the leg is tipped, about
half an i icb above the ball. By a few
well directed movements of the other
limbs the upper part of the thread is
! quickly passed under one of the short
palps or mouth appendages from which
the thread continues to its point of attachment
to the main line, the upper
nortion more often remaining slack.
The two forelegs extend horizontally
to their full length like the shafts of
a wagon, save that one is above the
other.
If the writer's description is clear
the reader now perceives the spider
holding in its hand, as it were, a line
to the lower end of which is attached
a globule, the whole forming a most
singular and Ingenious contrivance
derlgitcd i for a useful purpose.
In this position the SDider may remain

to lower its weighted leg for a
| brief interval from time to tune, pre- j
sumabiy to rest it. Should the spider j
remain in this attitude for thirty or j
forty minutes the verdant observer;
may be astonished to see the ball earo-!

If now the observer is to be rewr^led
. he will see, by the light of the moon
- a large moth approaching, flying slowly
along as though searching for something.
As the marked victim draws
nearer the spider gathers itself for a
supreme effort. The ball-supporting
leg points straight down. The body
swings about, if necessary, to assume
a favorable position with reference to
the moth. As the insect comes within
the carefully measured limit the spider
d-aws back the bolas supporting leg !
and with a pendulum-like movement j
' swings it rapidly forward in the direc- j
tion of the moth. The ball is directed j

The moth, finding itself fast, flutters
violently in an attempt to free itself,

A STORY WITH * MORA!- "
Railway Official Who Forgot He Could
Pay His Fare.
Xot every stOTy that reads like fiction
is fact, but the Brooklyn ^
assures its readers that the one her?
quoted is quite true. Tne roan who ^
told it was for many years an officer
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincf
Railroad Company in Illinois, and had
annual passes over ail the important * *
railroads in the country. His duties
took him to Springfield, the State capital,
and as he generally went by the
Chicago, Alton & St. Louis road, the & ^
conductors on that line knew him so
well that they never asked to see bis
pass.
One day he received a telegram
summoning him to meet one of the , I
officers of his company at Aurora the
next morning. He had only a short
time to catch his train to Chicago,
and in his haste left his pass book ^
behind. He did not find this out until
he reached Chicago, and was
to take the last t^ifl^grAupflfCthat
night Then he saw thaPtCe conductor,
a m'an brought over from the
Iowa division, was a stranger, and
the fact that he would need his pass > ;
reminded him that he did not have St.
What followed is best told in his own
words:
"I told the conductor the situation ? j
but he said he could not carry me on
my mere representation that I had a
pass.
'Why man,' said I, *1 am an officer v
of the company, going to Aurora on
company business, and this is the la?t
train that will get me there in time*
You must tako me/
"He was polite, but firm. He said * .J
he was a new man ,on this division,
and could not afford to make any arts- /
takes. ^||
"When I saw that he was deter- '
mined I rushed off to the telegraph
office; but it was too late to catch ^ *
anybody authorized to issue passes,
so I settled it in my mind that I mu?t
go by carriage; and the prospect Of
an aH night rkJe over bad roads * <
through the dark was anything but Inviting.
Indeed, it was so. forbidding
that I- resolved to make ' one more
appeal to the conductor.
"*You simply must take me to Aurora!'
I said, with intense earnestness.
" *1 can't do it,' he answered. *Biit % %
I believe you are what you represent
yourself to be, and I will lend you the / 1
money personally. It is only one dollar
and twelve cents/ * . *
"Well, sir, you could have knocked
me down with the flat side of a palm
leaf fan. I had more than two thousand
dollars in currency in my pocket, |
but it had never for an Instaht'oc- j
curred to me that I could pay xny'fhie -j
and ride on that train. I showed, the
conductor a wad of money that made j
his eyes stick out. 1
" *1 thought it was funny/ said he,
'that a man in your gositioii cdulfe&'t
raise one dollar and twelve Cents' -it
was that that made me believe yon
were playing a trick' to see ifl wouW

occur to him that he could ride in any . ^
