Monster Wasp Which Annihilates the Monster Species of Spider. “I have recently read some very in- resting original s:ories about animal ; said a geutleman to a reporter, Mand," he continued, “as they are all or California stories I want to dd tothe number. My business calls into the country a good deal. and Tam a passionate lover of nature, ih its myraids of forms of animal life, Tamuse and enter'ain myself by ing observations, Oae day while ip in Calaveras County I was travel- @ through a rocky section and was her hard pressed for some thing to mtertain me. I finally reached a li- le glen, wheeled my horse about and ot under a magnificent shade-trec. en I dismounted and sat down to cea rest. “Searoely had I touched the grass hen I was entertained beyond all ex- a by witnessing a bloody bat- between waspa anda tarantula 1 them wasps, though in reality they ere not such, being much larger ani eavier about the body, which was d together in two separate parts by Searcely visible coupling. Their aists seemed even smaller than tho Ouimon wasp, and they swung them- about on the coupling with htning-like dexterity, “The insects seemed to be vory ch excited about something and ted as if looking for prey. It may that hunger made them furiova way I closely watched their ac | Helmbolz, less than forty years ago, | Of a science. ions and soon alscovered the cause of their rage. A large tarantula crept from under a dry log and apparenily started for his house with all possible speed. The wasps, as I will call them, had been dashing themselves ia all directions about the log. but tho moment the insects saw their victim, which had evidently been hiding, they fell upon him furieusly with quick darts, and every dart seemed to eject a poison which made the tarantula writhe in agony. ter fights like a bear, resting on his haunehes and u-ing his paws and legs as weapons of defense. ‘The tarantula fought for his life, and while doing so seeme! to be con- scious that at all hazi:rls he must make for his house a3 the only hope of safety. The wa<ps seemed by in- stinct to understand what was going on in the mini of the tarantula and redoubled their merc less attacks. They struck their victim 80 suddenly that he seemed at times to be bewildered. But he fought desperately to the last. Finally the fierce conflict ended; the was's had stung and poisoned the tarantula to death. “After the battle was over I took a glance atthe body of tne latter. It bore evidence of a terrible struggle for life. When I approached it the wasns flew away, but they did not evidently flv far and were watching ms. Wh-en I left the waxps returned and im medi- ately commenced to tear the dead ta- r ntula to pieces. In an i credibly short time they had carried off the body piece by piece, either to feed the.r young or lay in a supply of food for the winter. “I made particular inquiries con- cerning the habits of the monster was}s and learned from some of the old settlers that the vicious insects were ‘regular taravtula-<illers’ and that searcely one bad ev r swy ved their murderous onslaughts."”"— San Francisco Examiner. ee Having occasion to drop in at an optician's shop this morning, I asked the proprietor about the sign in the window, which read: ‘Examination of the eye made free of charge." “Can it be," I said. ‘that you em- ploy an oculist to prescribe glasses for your eust«.mers?"* “Not at ali,’ was the reply. “We test the sight ourselves by means of hose cards you see hung up at the other end of the store with letters of diff-rent sizes on them.”” “But is it possible for a person who has not made ocular science a study to apply such a test with accuracy?” “Well—ahem—that is, no, not quite; but we cxn do it with certainty enough, I guess. Any way, we have to, be- cause all the other opticians advertise free examinations."’ Now, this is true enough, and an outrage it is that these spectacle- makers, who are simply mechanics, Possessing no knowledge beyond the grinding of lenses and such matter= echnical, should be permitted to prac- lice by guess-work upon the most deli- cate and valuable of human organs. The fisting of glasses is always a mat- ter of great difficulty, even to the skilled oculist who has devoted half his life-time lear ting how. The lenses must be adapte.l with the utmost ex- xetness to the necessities of the patient, for the slightest variation will canse a sirain that will result sooner or later in damzge to the sight. Almost invariably one eye differs from the other in visual power, and one vcular d-f ct is so readily mistake» for another that often only a physician can tell the d ff-rence. And yet peo- ple who preiend to have common sense g to the optical shopkeeper for glasses which, in nine eases out of ten, are all wrong, and which not infre- quently ruin the vision irreparably. In properly conducting an examina- tion of the eye, it is neces<ary to in- ~pect the in erior of the optical camera. This is done by the aid of the op: halmo- scopy, acircular mirror with a hole in the eenter. Holding this disk before the eye, the oculist looks through the hole iu its back, while the face of quicksivered glass throws a ray of light refl -eted from a gas jet overhes the “lark chamber.’ The ray, p ing through that round hole ealled the pupil illuminates the nerve screen that lines the eye, upon which the pic ures of objects seen are formed by & process very similar to that which wecall photography. The interior of the wonderful organ being thus bright- ly lighted up, the observer is able to eximine it at leisure, and if any dis- | ease exista, to detect its presence.
