Richmond Dispatch.l
Some curious observations regard
ing spiders have lately been commu-
nicated to the French academy Of
science by Father Babaz, who has
been fifteen years engaged in these
researches. 1t happened one day as
he was reading in the garden that a
small spider lighted on his book and
crawled over the very line he was
reading. He tried to blow it away,
but instead of letting itself be car
ried away by the blast it raised its
abdomen and swung itself up to
a leaf overhead. This appeared
strange, as there was no thread to
be seen. Our observer caught the
spider again, put it upon his book,
and repeated the experiment, which
ended in the same result. He
caught it once more, and this time
put himself directly in the sun,
with the insect on a level with his
eyes. In this position he at length
discovered the evolution performed
by the little creature. On receiving
the blast it raised its abdomen,
and in so doing projected a
thread of incOnceiyable tenuity to a
considerable distance, and raising
itself in the air disappeared from
view. This unexpected discovery
induced Father Babaz to examine
the question thoroughly; every
spider that came in his way had
to contribute something toward his
researches, and in this way he at
length ascertained a fact hitherto
unknown to naturalists, viz, that
most spiders possess not only the
faculty Of spinning thread, but
also that of projecting one or sev-
eral, sometimes of a length of five
or six metres, which they use to
traverse distances with, and affix
their thread to a given point; they
seem to feel for the place where it
is most desirable to fix it. Certain
spiders, the Thomisa Buto, for in
stance, will eject a bunch Of threads
which, curling up in the air and
shining in the sun with various
hues, give the insect the appearance
of a peacock displaying its tail.
But this is not all; spiders can fly
and swim in the air, though they
are heavier than alcohol. To per.
form this feat they turn their back
to the ground and keep their legs
closely folded upon their body, and
in this posture sail about in perfect
ease.

Pall Mall hazette.
Pulyerized diamonds are, in some
parts of India, reputed to be the
least painful, but the most active
and infallible of all poiSons. Ru-
bies, however, reduced to powder,
are, it seems, considered to be rath-
er beneficial to the health than
otherwise. At least such is the
opinion of the ex-Gaikwar of Ba-
roda, who, according to one of the
Indian papers, is now engaged in
repairing his constitution, and,
with this view, is in the habit of
eating rubies, in the form of a fine
powder, Sprinkled over cakes.
His Highness, it is stated, enter
tains very high opinion of the
medicinal qualities of rubies taken
in this form, and expends consid-
cradle portion Of his income in buy
ing these gems for conversion into
physic, lie also takes other
precious stones, not as pills, but as
powders, to assist in the restoration
Of his health, and has engaged a
large number Of native cooks, who
have orders to leave no stone un-
powdered which, when mixed with
confectionery, may be eaten with
advantage.
1t is to be hoped that the cooks
do not abuse the confidence thus
reposed in them by appropriating
the gems to their own use; but the
temptation must be one which no
British cook could withstand, and
it would be hardly prudent for any
wealthy invalid in this country, who
adopts a jewel diet in imitation of
the unfortunate Mullar Rao, to al
low the pulyerizing process to be
carried on in the kitchen.

Troy IN. Y. Times.l
A stomachic singularity culmina-
ted in an upheayal last Sunday
evening. Seven years ago Lena
Grape, an amiable, bright and wor-
thy French girl, drank from the
waters of a babbling brook. Dur
ing the draft Lena ielt a live lump
distending her eSophagus, which
she gulped down, From that date
her health was increasingly inn
paired with an internal disturbance.
Two years since, although then an
invalid, she was employed by the
family of DR.. NJ. w. Campbell, OF
this city, in the capacity Of a wait
ing maid. For a time she was
slightly SorViceable, but her diff.
Guilty soon became more aggravated,
until she was completely disabled.
An ulcer in the stomach was the
hypothesis professionally put forth
by the physicians with whom Lena
consultedJ but she always stoutly
maintained that a foreign substance
was secreted. She was a great
sufferer, aud almost daily expert
encod protracted paroxysms of pain
For the past four or five months,
however, DR.. Campbell has used a
galvanic battery which greatly NIT
igated Lena's sufferings, although
her general condition remained
unimproyed,
Inability 10 retain food was one
Of the most unpleasant chaFacteris
tics of the case. Only certain
dishes were favored with retention,
A few weeks ago Lena was removed
to the residence Of hrs. EIigabetl
Wilson, N Federal street. Sun,
day evening she yomited violently
and feeling 2 substance rising il
her throat, she thrust her hpgeri
down between the tonsils and seized
the offending lump, which was tri
umphantly captured. 1t was sub
paitted to the examination Of Mrs
Wilson and another lady present
who pronounced the slimy lump t
be that of a dead frog. Lena, will

She replied:

safety, sacrifice themselves for the
sake of their country"
When the sentence was pro
nounced an exclamation Of JOY
burst from her lips. She handed
two letters to the president, one o.
