discovered, in a building belonging 10 him
q small snake suspended BY the neck
under a shelf. On examination, the sus-
pension proved to be accomplished by
nothing more substantial than the threads
of spiders web.
The main web or nest of the spider was
just under the shelf, perhaps two and a
half feet from the floor. From this de
pended cable formed of number of
strands, and from this hung the snake
The upper half of the snakes body seem
ed 10 be wound around with the tiny
thread, which was SO tightly drawn about
his head and throat rs to prevent the rep
tile opening its mouth. Having thus
secured him, the spider seemed intent on
drawing his prey up to his net, and when
discovered had 50 far succeeded as to have
half the length of the snake from the
floor.
The snake manifested its dislike of the
treatment by occasional violent struggles
in which he would spring from the floor
and exert his utmost power to break his
filmy bands The struggles were very
complacently and unconcernedly watched
by the spider from his nest above The
snake was about foot in length, and the
spider was by no means a large specimen
of his species. The apparently unequal
struggle was witnessed by more than one
hundred persons during the day, attracted
by the report of the singular contest. But
that the cable was accidently broken by
person who entered the room, the spider
would have undoubtedly have drawn the
snake to his den. This singular case pre-
sents double room for wonder-frst at the

coils about the snake, and second at the
wonderful strength evinced in drawing up
a reptile at least one hundred times his
own weight.
