Agood story is told of gay and fes

Portland, Me-, from "away down East
on the occasion of an annual meeting
and fine dinner at the Kearsarge. He
must have been one of those conscien-

He didn't dine at the Kearsarge, because
he hadn't got his gold ''divvy." So,
with all the importance becoming his
position. he took dignifed stroll into

DEBTs,-The ability of every one to

HOW A SPIDER BUILDS ITS NESTS.

W. C. Richmond, of Geneva, Ohio,
sends to APpletom's Journal, the follow
Ing curious account of how spider builds
q web: 20 '"''' 'i' t-H i'
While at work one day in the field, I
accidentally destroyed the web Of COM
mon spider. Curious to know what the
little creature would do in its great ca
lamity, l made myself comfortable and
awaited results. The spider. n OF in the
least dishartened by its loss, Immediate
ly commenced building another web. 1t
first described circle-not regular, but
agreeing with the Irregularities Of the
spires of grass on which it was suspend
ed in a vertical position. Having
strengthened this outer line (Which may
be likened TO the felloe of carriage
wheel,ll by passing around it several
times. adding each time a thread, it pro-
ceeded again to the circumference. thus
forming another wheel 1t continued
this operation until enough spokes were
made. then, beginning at the centre or
hub. it passed around and around in en-
larging circles, until it had formed some
six or eight threads, about one quarter
of an inch apart. This. I noticed, was
not done with that care which marked its
subsequent work, but it was only intend
ed Gas | afterwards saw to be a sort of
stay-lath, and not a permanent affair.
1t now darted to the outside of the web
and commenced to weave in the roof,
which was done by passing thread
from spoke to spoke around the wheel
in diminishing circles, the distance be-
tween them being determined by the
length of the spiders hind leg, for it
walked on the line spun at the previous
revolution, and guided the new thread
with one of its hind feet, holding it to.
ward the centre as much as possible, and
allowing it to run between two of its
claws around pulley. AS it passed
over its spokes it would with this hind
foot press the newly formed thread to it,
thus firmly uniting it. In the same
manner it proceeded on until ii came 20
the stay laths, when it fell to work. and,
in twinkle, tore them away, and soon
finished its work, and retreated to its
corner to await the approach of some
luckless fly. Twice during the opera
ton its thread broke, but, not noticing it
until it got to the next spoke, it did not
retrace its steps, but fastened it where it
was, thus leaving a break. Nearly all
the webs that l have examined have the |
same defect That which surprised me
most was the extreme rapidity of the
SPIDERS movements, as it was not proba-
bly, more than ten minutes from the time
Of destroying the web before another
was completed. .a" 7f'N..-l. r"i
