The division of ornithology and mammology will exhibit pictures illus trating the geographic distribution of mammals and birds in the United States, and the habits of the various species in their relation to agricul ture. The habits in question will bo further shown by groups of animals known to be beneficial or harmful, each species handsomely mounted. For example, there will be five groups of ground squirrels, each of half a dozen animals, which will be seen en gaged in their natural pursuits, ravag ing grain fields, catching grasshop pers, etc. There will be a number of groups of birds, each teaching important los sons in the economy of the species. One will show a number of cows in the cornfield, some pulling the new sprouted corn, others devouring grubs. There will be a small flock of cedar birds, feeding on the leaf beetles of the elm. They will form an attractive group and emphasize the usefulness of this bird. The new division of agricultural soil will show some of the most important typus of soils from different parts of the country, such as the adobe, the mesa and the soil of the blue grass re giou of Kentucky. It will exhibit soils that are especially adapted to certain crops, such as the early truck soils of the Atlantic coast, the soils adapted to the different kinds of tobacco, to cotton, to wheat. The constituent parts of theso soils will be displayed in separate jars. | The division of forestry will exhibit specimens illustrating the botany of Southern forests, including seeds, leaves, flowers, etc., showing the char- ! acter of the flora of the southeastern i section of the United States.

Charles Hoffman, of Chicago, has a copy of the Bible printed in 1700 from the type used iu the edition of 1530, known as tho Nuremberg edition. llaphael lived principally on dried fruits, such as figs and raisins, eating them with bread.

The weekly shipments of oleo from tho Port of New York to the Con tinent of Europe average a value of 8100,000 to 8150,000, besides which shipments nre mado from Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Montroal. This oleo is the basis of oleomargerine. Two weeks ago in the Swiss city of Geneva, with 150,000 of a population, largely floating, they were, according to the official record, twenty-one sui cides, and in all but one or two cases scraps of paper were found in which the victims stated that they could bear the pangs of poverty no longer. Web Spinners. ! Among tho great web-spinning spitl- I ers is the Halaba,of Madagascar, which spins shining golden-yellow threads | strong enough to bear the weight ol ono of these cork helmets,such as trav elers wear in warm countries. They have woman's suffrage in the Halalia family, where the female considerably outweighs tho males, and is corre spondingly "bossy." She grows to tho quite remarkable length of live and a half inches, whilo he, poor fel low, never gets beyond the quite in significant dimensions of au inch and a half. In consequence, when she, in ail the glory of her uhininggold cuirass with a silveiy down on it, spreads her five red, black tipped limbs in the midst of her shining gold web, he has to keep at a respeotable distance, aud seeks the soelusion of his club, for he has no right in that web which his more mighty spouso is bound to re spect. She is a very industrious spin ner, and I have no doubt that the airs of superiority she takes over her hus band are largely dno to tho fact that she realizes she is the breadwinuer of the family. She has been known to spin in a little less than a week 3201 yards. For over 150 years men have tried to utilize spider's silk for weav ing fabrics with but discouraging suc cess. Lie Bou, about the begiuning of tho last century, succeeded in making gloves of it, and bonis XIV. had a pair of hose made of the thread. The web of the Halaba and one or two American spiders have led Dr. Wilder, of Cornell University, to hope that he might still make spider webs commercially valuable. The thread is quite as long as that of the silkworm, one species in Jamaica spinning a thread sometimes three miles long, but the chief difficulty lies in obtain ing a long thread unbroken.—Chicago Times. A Suicide Foundation lor Aristocracy. As money is the basis of the Ameri can aristocracy, it would be possible for almost any man to found an old and aristocratic family by insuring his life for a sufficient amount and then assigning the policies to a trus tee, the income to bo paid to his de scendants on the condition that none of them worked, with the consumma tion of tho deed by killing himself.— Albany (N.
