This spider‘s veuom scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through all the tissues, causing the most fearful agooy a buman being can have to bear. The worst of it is that the victim lives at least two days, enduring unthinkaâ€" ble anguish the whole time. This spiâ€" der is luckily not common. It is known as the "specky," and when a man who knows what the bite means is bitten be generally blows out bis brains. Auvother fearful death is caused by eating a grain called "bhat."

These tentacles sear and burn into the flesh like white hot wires. and the vietim is dragged into the heart of the foliage and his juices slowly drained, as a spider sucks the blood of a Ay.

He Risked [!is Life to Stzvc That of a | Fellow Workman. ; Heber Franklin, a young man emâ€" ployed at the Clear Creek mine, is as much a hbero as any man who ever braved death on the battleficld. Frankâ€" lin sought not glory, but to save a huâ€" man life. There was a fire in the mine. The men were called out. Then they were about to shut off the nir in order to stop the flames, when it was tearned that a lone miner was working deep in the mine beyond the point where the fire started and was then raging with growing strength. flere is the story of the subsequent events: Foreman Thomas imirediately called for volunteers to go with him Into the mine to rescue the man. Several atâ€" tempts were made by different ones, but they were driven back by the G@ames, and the cry of "Powder!" eaused a hasty retreat. Finally Heber Frauklin, a young man whose work keeps him on the outside, said, "I will go." And accompanying Foreman Thomas be pressed . on through the fire and found the man working away tamping a hole, entire ty unconscious of the danger threatenâ€" ing hbim. They succeeded in getting out of the mine safely, when the fan was shut off and the dip closed up. The rescue was an act of great bravery on the part of Franklin, as his work kept him on the outside and be was anacquainted with the exact lay of the land inside, and the danger of suffocaâ€" tion from black damp was great. He was the only man of the many atandâ€" Ing by whose nerve did not desert him. 1t is stated npon good authority that ten minutes more of lost time would have resulted in the death of the miner who was at work and possibly a great loss to the company, as the supply of air could not be ent off white there was any bope of rescue, and this would have tended to feed the flames, ~8alt A HERO OF THE MINE.
