again he caught twenty-eight in a morn
ing ramble. At the end of a month
Ralph had stocked his room with about
700 of the insects, and, what is strange,
no one, not even his close friend Frank,
knew of the soheme. Ralph reasoned
that he would prove his idea by experi
ment and then burst upon the world.
He would send telegrams to the city
newspapers announcing his great dis
covery. He would receive oongraWla-
tiona from the Preeident Ho would be
made a ‘‘ Ph. D.” by some university.
“A * Fh/k.’ at 141” said Ralph, «that’s
worth working for.” .
But his spiders didn’t spin. TWy
stowed themselves away in the corners
and drew themselves up in balls when
ever he approached. Then fights be
came frequent Then some of tbo
.smaller ones began to disappear. Then
Ralph discovered that the creatures were
eating one soother. “To be sure,’
thought Ralph, blushing, “I’m a ninny
not to have thought of It; they must
hare food, of course.” 1 So Ralph bar

"I’ll catch the little beast,” Ralph
whispered to himself. He gave his rod
s savage dip, as if to drown the dragon,
but the gay eroature darted up and away
like a cherry stone shot from the knuckle
of the thumb.
This incident and ether similar ones
that followed caused Ralph to think
whether or not he could put to use any
of the fine things of the insect world.
He probably would have given ovsr the
disagreeable task had not a spider swung
himself boldly from a high limb to the
fishing rod. "I’ve got something, shy-
how,” said Frank, and, though ho shiv
ered at touching it, he held the spider
between his thumb and forefinger and
examined it closely. Ho saw that the
spider’s legs numbered eight, that it
had eight eyes and that there were two
arms, branching above toe head, also.
Then he drew his knife, and, with a sharp
blade, split open the spider’s body.
"This is what it makes its web from,”
he reflected; " it looks like glue, and
that’s what it is." Happening to have
his school micros oops with him, Ralph
tested the fineness of some threads
drawn from the gins with the little
blade of hft knife. Suddenly springing
to hft feet Ralph exclaimed: “ Now I've
got it I A new idea! Never thought of

Nearsightedness is increasing in Ger
many at an astonishing rate. Thirty
eye doctors recently examined toe vision
of'40,000 pupils in schools of all degrees.
They conclude that naarsightednAsi 1
rarely exists at birth or at less than 5 , * ie r
years of age, and ft village schools the
nearsighted form only I per oanb of the
attendance. In toe city schools they
constitute 5 to 11 per rent.; in the
schools next above, 10 to24 per cent.;
in the next grade of schools, 20 to 40 per
cent; and ft toe highest, 30 to50, A
physician of Tubingen found ft a body
qf 700 theological students 78 per osni

German Par lii-mnr.t that ninety-five out
of every 100 of the medical students are
