What q Spider Eats.
grubs.

In order to test What a spider can do
In the way OF eating, says writer on
spiders, we arose about day break in the
morning to supply his fine web with a
fly. At first, hOwev er, the spider had
not come from his retreat, so we peep
Ell among the leaves, and there discOv-
cred that All earwig had been caught,
and was now being feasted on. The
spider left the earwig, rolled up the fly
and ut once returned to his ii. st course.
This was at half past five, one morning
In September. At 7 a. NJ. the oarwig
had been demolished, and the spider
having rested awhile and probably en-
joyed nap, which he had tinished at
A. NJ. A little after that we supplied
him with daddy long-lcgs, which he
ate by room. At one O'Clock blow
fly was greedily seized, and then I'M
mediately with All appetite apparently
no worse for his previous indulgence,
he commenced on the blox- fly. During
the day and towards the evening
great many greenfiies, or what are COM
monty termed midges, had been caught
dead and fast prisoners in the SPIDERS
nest. Soon after dark, provided with
lantern, we went to examine whether
the spider was suffering from indiges-
ton, or In any other way, from his
previous meals. Instead, however, of
being thus affected, he was employed
In rolling up together the various little
green midges, which he took to his re-
treat and ate. This process he repeated
carr ying up the lots In lttlo detach-
ments, until tho web was eaten; for the
web and Its contents were bundled up
together. A slight rest of about an
hour was followed by the most indus
trious web making process, and befor
daybreak another web was ready to be
used In the same way. Taking the rel
alive size Of the spider and of the crea-
lures it ate, and applying tllis to man, !,
1t would be somewhat as follows: At
daybreak small alligator was eaten |;
at A. II. a lamb; ats A. M. a young
cameleopard; at 10 O'Clock q sheep and
during the night one hundred and
twenty larks. This. we believe would
be very fair allowance for a man
during twenty four hours, and could
we find one gifted with such an appe-
tlte and digestion, we readily comple-
hend how he might spin five miles of
web without killing himself, provided
he possessed the necessary machinery.

One day last winter, when tho Mis-
sissippi River in front of Davenport
was frozen over, there was a piece of
-peM water in the swift current, above
the great bridge. At sight Of this, a
flock Of tame tieese took it into their
heads to have swim. SO after talking
together, goose-fashion, the boldest
with a scrcech led the way, and the
whole flock plunged into the river.
1t was fine fun. But, when they
tried to get back to the land, they found
that they had made great mistake; for
the strong current would not let them
60. 1t held them fast, and was draw
ing them rapidly down towards the
bridge, where the water whiriinp and
eddying between the stone piers, would
be sure to drag them under the ice.
Some boys on shore. seeing the plight
Of the poor geese, humanely rushed
to their rescue. So getting into boat.
and pulling Justify, they soon drew
near the geese, when, on looking round
they saw a big foe of ice coming right
down toward their boat.
They saw their danger at once, and
tried with all their strength to pull
back to tho shore. But the ice gained
upon them In spite of all they could do.
They looked to the shore: but there
was no help there. Nobody could
reach them. They looked up the river
and there was the Ice threatening to
overwhelm them. There seemed to be
no hope. Down, down, they went,
nearer and nearer to the bridge.
Then, all Of a sudden, two ropes,
thrown from the top Of the bridge,
came tumbling across the boat. snake
fast to each end Of the boat! Lively
nowW said a hoarse voice ON the
bridge.
Quick as thought the boys obeyed the
order. They were just in tine, for the
next moment they were under the
bridge. "Now then, pull all together l."
said the same CHEEKY voice. Six stout
bridge men had hold Of the ropes. Up
went the boat, right out of the water.
up, up, up.
Down came the ice, crashing and
splintering against the piers. But no
matter; the boys were safe. The ice
was clear again.--Then the men lower
ed the boat into the river, ana the boys
pulled for the shore.
But what became of the poor reese ?
Alas they had been forgotten, Thev
were no longer to be seen tor they had
all been drawn under the ice and
drowned.

Carbon and the Electric Light.-M. ALI.
Nlaudet expresses u very decided con
Viction that carbon, anu not platinum
or any other metal, Is the best material
Tor the production of the electric light
by means Of lncandescence. In sup
port OF this position, Nj. Niaudet ati-
duces the following arguments: CD At
equal temperatuI es carbon DOSsessps
power Of radiation in excess of that
OF platinum. (2) The heat capacity OF
platinum Is far greater than that Of
carbon, and the former, consequently,
requires far greater amount Of heat
than the latter to bring 1t to a given
temperature. (3) Carbon Is worse
conductor Of electricity than platinum,
and, consequently, may be Of greater
diameter without the temperature
being reduced. (4) Carbon is absolute
ly infusible, and may be brought to a
white heat without the circuit being
interrupted owing to fusion. In the
Sawyer-Man electric light, in which
incandescent carbon is used, the peu-
oils are formed, according to The Scicn-
ttfc American, by aspecial process. The
carbOns are about half an inch long,
with ameter Of One-siXteenth of an
inch. Their color Is steel-gray, and
the surfaceis as hard as steel; within
the carbon Is tolerably soft. In his
earlier experiments Mr.. Sawyer en-
ployed as tile source OF incundescence

The carbons were slowly destroy ed i,
but at tile same they took OH superfir-

be made in a denser hydrocarbon, Mr..
Sawyer experimental with great va

satisfactory. His method Is simply to

by the use of pencil of willow char

a dairy school established in Russia at
all annual cost of $40 900, where every
thing is taught relating 10 the manu-
facture of butter and cheese, embracing
the differentsystems there known. The
attendance embraces about sixty young
men and women who are taught to milk
feed cows and swine, ,and In the evenings
are taught reading, writing, etc, The
tuition and instruction is free, and each
student is allowed about $50 yearly for
clothes and travelling expenses. The
instruction lasts two years, and at the
end OF that time the students receive
salaries ut from 5000 to $500 a year in
the management OF dairies OF from 100
to 200 cows. Before the establishment
OF this school cheese was worth from,
20 to 80 cents per pound. and milk only
cents per gallon. Now cheese Ia sold
at from II TO % cents per pound, and
milk Is worth coats per gallon. For
merly nasty butter was sold ut six cents
