The Tarantula.

The Italians have legend about the
bite of this spider producing an irresist-
ible desire to dance. This may all be
very pretty as romance, but the effect
of the fangs Of the tarantula found in
many portions Of Texas tends more
toward the dance of death than anything
terpsichorean On of our contemporaries
in that State describes this venomous
terror as a huge, brown hairy spider Of
the genus mygale, living in holes in the
ground lined with silk, and with or with
out trap-door, and which spins no web,
but captures its prey by running it down
or by leaping upon it. The venomous,
offensive apparatus of the spider consists
of pair Of claws with poisoned glands
attached, which secretes the venom and
injects it into the wound. The bite of
the Texas tarantula is not always fatal,
however, but that of the species found in
Costa Rica, where the ground is riddled
with their burrows, is very often, and when
they bite horse or COW just above the
hoof, that portion of the hoof sloughs off.
A solution of sal ammonia thartshorn) is
said to be a remedy, An army of these
spiders crossing the road will leave an
appearance in the road as if a large rope
had been dragged across it, while their
black, hairy ugGness, as seen with the
naked eye or under the microscope, is
frightful in the extreme.
