TARANTULA BILL'S EFFORT TO CONTROL THE MARKET AND HIS DEFEAT BY A FREAK OF NATURE.(New York \u2018Sun.\u2019) Los Angeles, Cal, Oct.30.\u2014 Yes, I shase spiders as a business\u2014Tarantula Bill, the boys call me.\u2019 The little man, armed with a8 hooked as first seen walking, sos ks something out with the wire, then pour in some water from the bottle and then dance around frantically.One observer suggested that he wae a crank, another thought that he was searching for water, but he was merely bunting for tarantulas, the big spiders, four or five inches across, that abound in the adobe hills of | sou-hern California.| \u2018So they thought I was crazy, did they ?\u2019 he said, with a chuckle.\u2018Well, perhaps I will be if I get bit by many more of these things,\u201d and he opened his box and displayed a number of enoar- mous spiders, each covered with long, red hair that gave it a horrible.anpear- ance.\u2018Sort of a nightmare, ain\u2019t it ?he said, snapping back with his finger a wandering tarantula.bitten a dozen times.The first time I thought I was gone for sure.The spid- ec nipped me in the thumb and held \u2018on like everything, and by the time I had torn it off I began .to.feel.the.oain.{ J.shooting up my arm and in ten minutes it began to swell.IY started for home and luckily met a man who took me in his waggon to the doctor's.I reckon 1 was in a bad way, but they pulled.me through though my arm at one Lime, waa rantula dance there is something in thie t la das you hear about, as they told me I was wild, though they may have exaggerated.death, that's sure, but 1 It ain\u2019t certain in the \u201che i 4 man nit.gy though.I wan keep on I.will not mind it ban a mosquito bite after-a while: No, 1 these fel- don\u2019t get careless, hut you see thes lows are savage, and two \u2018ont of three want to fight and will jump at you.The others caught me when I was podring in the water.Here is the nest of one,\u2019 pointing to a hole about three inches across in the ground.\u2018I'll show you how it\u2019s dome.You see, most peovle think these big spiders are the trap-door spiders, but that\u2019s a mistake ; they merely sink a well about two or three feet and live at the bottom.At night they come out and during the dey you generally find a web over the top like this,\u2019 and the old spider-catcher took his wire and pushed it down the hole.\u2018 He\u2019s there,\u2019 he said, cocking his head on one side as though he was listening to a telephone message coming up the wire.Then hauling the wire out he unstrung his water bottle.\u2018You see it would take two hours to dig him- out, and he ever could be hooked out alive, so I try water, they hate it.\u2019 Suiting the action to the word, he poured some water, that had a faint mixture of alcohol in it, in the hole: Almost immediately \u2018up came \u2018the apider, its red, hairy legs protruding from the nest.Deftly hooking a wire under the spider the old man landed it om.the ground, where it settled back, showing the\u2019 enormous fangs.Presently with thé end of a stick he promptly seized it and lifted # into the box of horrors.| Co \u201cWhy do they

hopeful for the RR 2e rs ie success of the arms of our country to congratulate themselves.been disappointments in connection with the tactical work of some of the British officers.Only full knowledge could say whether the acts in question were intended.Take it all through the pitch- led actions at Talana Hill, Elandslaagte and Ladysmith have completely justified the system of tactics.as evolved.in the ful peace training can stand the test and :atrain of actual war, a point on which there has been considerable apprehension.For years now, ever since the lessons as to the effect of long range infantry fire given in the Russo-Turkish campaign and the proof of the destruc: tiveness of the.modern rifle on dense \u2018masses of infantry afforded \u2018during the Franco-German war, the heads of the British army have been preparing their fften to.meet \u2018the changed conditions of warfare resulting from the improvement of firearms.As a result, the thin red line has been made even thinner\u2014reduc- { \u2018{ed'in :füct to'a line gf kirsiishers; but \u2014 g0 :glutted,.and in a curieus way.One fellow that didn\u2019t have .any, advertised for five hundred tarantulas.I don\u2019t suppose he Had any idea that he could get them, but by luck and a mere chance; he received.à letter from a fellow in Los Nietos saying that he could supply them.It seems that a herder was riding out to a ranch one morning when all at once his horse bégan to buck and rear, and looking down to find the cause he saw that \u2018the ground was literally alive vith tarantulas.They were migrating, as many insects do at times.Something had gone wrong, and they were leaving the country.They just covered the ground.Where do they go to ?Why, the tourists buy them; what they want vhem for I give up\u2014that\u2019s the strangest part of the business ; but there seems to be n kind of fascination about them.They've heard \u2018of the deadly tarantula ind the tarantula dance down in Mexico, end they.like to show their friends in the east what deadly animals they have met; so they buy a big tarantula or ventipede and take or send it home.\u2018 There\u2019s a big demand for centipedes, though; I would put tarantulas first, live horned toads next, theri trap-door spiders, then centipedes.You'd be surprised to know how many are sold, and how: much money there is in the business.Centipedes are ugly and dangerous.We get them under rocks and -old wood : some of them that come ap from the South.are nearly, a foot long, with legs \u2018enough \u2018to satisfy any one.\"What anyone wants with \u2018such a thing, unless he ig! a naturalist, I don\u2019t see.=A good many are bought by young men who are visiting out here.I reckom they send them to their girls to show them the dangers they are passing through.But, bless you you might live in Southern California | twenty years and never see a tarantula, centipede or à scorpion.That\u2019s one-good thing about them, they never enter houses, and \u2018you haves to hunt for them to find them.Scorpions burrow here, make small holes in the ground, and we dig them out or pour in water.I've been stung by them, but it\u2019s about like a wasp but I'm eo full of their pizen that I reckon Pm proof against it.\u2018 The scorpion id an ugly customer; its long tail bemds up over its back, and when it is attacked it pulls it down like a flash of light, and as the sting is pointed downward it goes in up to the hilt.All this talk about scorpions committing suicide is rank noneense.I've seen if done a hundred times.The scorpion is surrounded by fire, for instance.It begins to suffer and strikes at iteelf, just as a man dears his hair in agony.The scorpion can\u2019t kill itself to my mind, though it certainly looks as though it were trying to commit suicide.They live on other ineects.The big tarantu- 7 or any small animal they can catch; but they feed at night, wandering abont, and it\u2019s the night \u2018animals that euffer.Centipedes the same ; \u2018crickets, and.especially les eat small mice, grasshoppers, lizards, the mole crickets; are its game.\u2019 THE CAMPAIGN TO DATE.With a good proportion of Sir Redvers Buller\u2019s force in Seuth Africa, and actually at the advanced bases.ready to assume the aggressive, the first stage of the South African campaign, the time | of passive defence for the isolated British garrisons, may be considered as about \u2018over, though it is but reasonable to ex- \u2018pect that final desperate efforts will \u201cbe | made by the beleaguers of Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking to crown their weary sieges with success before the arrival of the British relieving forces make their .positions untenable.Meantime, theugh the strict news censorship has sq limited \u2018our knowledge.of the details of the campaigning to date that it is impossible to form an intelligent appreciation of the operations in detail, the \u2018campaign has reached a: point when one feels inclined to cast a retfospective glance over thes operations so far.\u201d Taken altogether, it must be apparent to the average observer that the British have come out of the first anxious part of the campaign with unéxpected success.In looking back over the military operations which have taken place since the issue of Kruger\u2019s manifesto we are apt to dwell too strongly upon the withdrawals from Newcastle, Dundee and Glencoe, the so-called disaster at Nichol son's Nek, the surrender of Vryburg, the surrounding of Ladysniith and the evacuation of Colenso.The good people who have shaken their heads ominously over the news of these Boer successes and have had their faith in the ultimate suc cess of the Brifish arms temporarily weakened thereby have not stopped to.consider.the bearing of- these incidents on :the whole military situation.When- the Boers began the invasion of Natal and Cape Colony on\u2019Oct.9, they were in preponderating strength.had been industriously prepdring for the campaign, and - when - their first - commandos crossed the frontiers they ex- They nected to wwéep everÿthing before them.\u2018They possessed the interior lines of com- \u2018munication, and\u2019 Had some 40,000 men under arms to throw against selected boints of the long line entrusted to the care.of 25,000 British andl colonial troops.\u2018The Boers being \u2018the iggressors, had the .|-opeizing move in the war gañe, .It had \u2018| been carefully thought out «beforehand ,: and as stated by Colonel Schiel, the German stratégist of the Transvaal army, was exactly the move the \u201cWitness\u201d -pre- digted the burghers would try to make.ie \u2018I'he.main strategical plan was to -throw- irom all sides at once a preponderating fôtce against the scattered British garrisons in the tongue of Natal where the northern part of that province is wedged.in .between, and flanked: by, the terri tories of the two republics.:- These gar risons were \u2018to be crushed in detail, the -madin \u2018 position at Ladysmith captured, followed.by Pietermaritzburg, the capital, and Durban, the chief seaport of Natal.Meantime strong forces were £0.capture Mafeking, Kimberley, Vryburg and\u2019 other leading colonial towns just across the western boundaries of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal.It was\u2019 fondly hoped that by the: time General Buller arrived Boer conquests would have put\u2019 the burghers in such an unas | sailable position that they would be able to dictate their own terms to Lord Salisbury\u2019 and Mr.Chamberlain.General Buller has arrived, his army corps is already in strong force at the advanced bases.He has supplies and ammunition of all kinds, and has: already practically assurded the aggressive.And how: much of their plan of campaign have the Boer commanders carried out ?Newcastle, Dundee and Glencoe were evacuated by the British, but their garrisons, far from being crushed by the hordes projected against them, have re- iniorced the gallant\u2019 garrison of Lady- smith, which is still firmly standing at bay, and giving the Boers a Roland for their Oliver in the way of hard knocks.True, Ladysmith has been.surrounded and isolated, and Colenso, between that garrison and its base occupied by the enemy, but General Joubert-is still very many miles away from his principal objectives at Pietermaritzburg and Durban, with General Hildyard\u2019s division in front of him and General White\u2019s fighting garrison close up, holding him: in check.In fact, the execution of the main plan of campaign by the principal Boer army appears mow to be absolutely hopeless.The Boers have been just as unsuccessful, \u2018too; beyond.their western frontiers.Vryburg \u2018has surrendered, but owing to the disloyalty of the inhabitants rather \u2018than to the prowess of.the Boer troops.© Mafeking and Kimberley stil hold out.In fact, the Boers are in no better military position to dictate -{and looked forward E provision bas been :madé to stiffen it _jup as it approaches thé\u2019 decisive point.with other similar lines in succession as required.\u2018 With sucha

line at the fina) stage, without cohesion, without -ganigation and leaders attack home ?- Talana Hill and Elandslaagte are proof beyond the least shadow of a doubt that this can be done, and that the careful.tactical training of all ranks in the army has been a coniplete success.The reports to hand of-the two actions in question read almost like a page from the red book, so closely waa the author: ized system of attack tactics adhered to.There was the preliminary artillery fire, the advance of the firing line of infantry under cover of the artillery and its own volley fire, the steady advance by ip, and: push the supports in the fighting line to replace casualties and stiffen the advance, the severe resistance was- felt, the struggle forward again, the independent fring.at-ciose quarters, the fixing of bayonets, the glimmer.of cold steél as the com: pany - officers\u2019 fushed to the front and their men: followed them, the bugle calls, the cheering \u2018and the \u2018victory.The stery is inspiring enough to the civilian, it is glorious reading for \u2018the soldier, for it.shows \u201cthat the \u201ctroops of Her Majesty have learned \u2018their \u2018supreme.lésson perfectly and that in learning it they have the -secret.of success in their hands in.spite ofthe plucky men, the killed marksmen, thie wily fighters, and the mccdern rifles opposed to them.The complete justification of the minor tac- ties of the British army and the proof so abundantly given of the cqurageous devotion of all ranks are two results of the African fighting the importance of which can hardly be overestimated.The strategy of the British generals in the field does not at this distance ap- tactics, There appears to have been no -good military excuse for the division of the force \u2018in Natal between Glencoe, \u2018Dundee and\u2019 Ladysmith.Political considerations are said to have dictated the division of the force, but political considerations are not supposed tb out weigh military ones in war time.Tactically the battle at Talana Hill was à \u2018brilliant süécess, from.a strategical point of view it can only be regarded: ae.a needless loss of life.Elandslaagte and Rietfontein, on the other hand went terms than they were at the opening of It is even doubtful if {they are in as good a position as they They have sue tained heavy \u2018losses in tnen and

as a matter of fact, the twenty-six hundred printed \u2018sermons were¢ preached to about twenty millions.But, ing.that each: printed sermon has been read.by two persons\u2014much below the mark\u2014 he has reached in this way six hundred |.millions of people!

putting my hand to ome of the coils I found it almost ns hard and stiff aga piece.ofi iron.Ât léneth, by dexteroas and altilled handling, Mrs.Austen had transferred the black beauty to the arm of a chair.\u2018I have had kim three years,\u2019 Mrs.Aus \u2018ten rephed \u2018to my iuguiry, \u2018end-I bad great difficulty in keeping him alive, Im his natural state he feeds oi \u2018young birds, and does not touch dead meat of any sort.But by \u201ccramming\u201d him I have got.him toeat fresh pork, though still with reluctance.Sometimes I give him a freshly killed pigeon.I have tried him with a live mouse, but he would not touch it.Snakes are very dainty creatures, and prefer to starve rather than eat any but the choicest live morsels ; they have to be \u201ccrammed,\u201d you see, to keep them alive.Dr.Stradling, \u2018the greäteet living authority on snakes, says he had tc \u201c\u2018cram\u201d one for 20 years.\u2019 I remarked that the snakes must sometimes object to the \u2018cramming\u2019 process, to which Mrs.Austen replied that they did, 4nd often most wioléntly, ard that che has received severai severe bites at such \u2018times, but without any serious consequences, \u201cThis biting in \u201ctheir means of backward: Te firmer fixed il becomes.This black snake of mine has two rows of teeth.\u2018| His eyes, you- see;

| They give forth no animals, in fact,\u2019 added Mrs.Austin, \u2018all animals are naturally clean, dirt is \u2018repulaixe to.them; ard it is only througli- bè people\u2019s neglect, that souie \u2018seem.to its \u2018centre;
