WHAT 4 SPIDER EATEs.
ENORMOUS DIGESTIVE CAPACITIES OF A
VERY SMALL INSECT.

In order to test what spider can
do in the way of eating, says a writer
on spiders, we arose about daybreak
to supply his fine web with fly. AT
first, however, the spider did not come
from lis retreat, so we peeped among
the leaves and there discovered thai
an earwig had been caught and was
now being feasted Oh. The spider
left the earwig, rolled up the fly and
at once returned to his FIRST course"
This was at halfpast a. n. in Sep
tember. At I q m. the earwiS had
been demolished, and .he spider hav-
ing rested while, and probably en-
loved a nap. came down from the ny
which he had finished at 8 a. m. A
little after we supplied him with
daddy longlegs which he ate by noon.
At ! O'Clock a blow fly was greedily
siezed, and then Immediately, with an
appetite apparently no worse for his
previous indulgence, he commenced on
the blow fly During the day and to-
wards the evening great many green
flies. or what are com mOnly termed
midges. had been caught IN the web;
of these We counted 100, all dead and
fast prisoners in the spiders nest
Soon after dark, provided with a
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 employ ca
in rolling up together the various lit
tie green midges which ne took TO his
retreat ard ate This process he re
peated, carrying up the lots in little
detschments until the web vas eaten
for the web had its contents we're bun
died up together 4 slight rest of
about an hour was followed by the
most industrious web making process,
and before dsybreak another web was
ready to be used in the same way.
Taking the relative size of the spi-
der and Of the creatures it ate, and ap-
plying this to man, it would be some
what ss follows: at daybreak a small
alligator was eaten; at a N, q
lamb; at9 q. II. young cameleOpard
at 10 o'clock sheep, and during the
night I20 laTks. This, we believe
would be very fair allowance for a
man during twenty four hours, and
could We find one gifted with such an
appetite and digestion, We readily
comprehend how lie might spin five
miles of web without killing himaelf,
provided he possessed the necessary
machinery.

RAILROADS.

From oil that We can hear and read.
We are led to believe that this section of
country-that is. Eastern Oregon and
Washington Territory-is about to be
supplied with railroads.
Col. Voice.. the gentleman in charge
OF the surveying party that We noticed
some time ago as being engaged 10 sur.
veying route for q railroad from Oc-
den, Ia. terminal point Of the Union
Pacific, to the Columbia river, was in
town few days ago. Although . very
quiet aud uDcommunicative kind Of q
gentleman, enough was learned to say
that the route through Grant. Baker
and Wasco counties to the Columbis
river has been found to be a good, prac.
ticnble one This is an extension OF
the Union Pacific. which is destined in
time to make it's terminus on the shores
o: the Pacific ocean. but for many years
it may remsin at The Dal!es.
Should the Union Pacific build this
road, it has been hiuted to US that the
Central Pacific will most likely build q
read starting from some point Oh their
line nEd run up through Grant and
Umatilla cuulties. IN order to carry of
the products # that section direct 10
San Francisco. Then we have the ru
NOR that the o K s. N Co. will build .
road from Walla Walla to The D.lles.
and the Northern Pacific on the other
side of the river from Ainsworth to this
point.
Now. with all these railroads in con
temptation We do not expect to see one
Of them built from here to the Cascades
until the other portions OF the route are
finished. for the reason that the cost per
mile would be from three to four times
greater than any other division of the
road for the same distance. 1t is
roughly guessed that it will cost on an
average fifty thousand dollars per mile
from here to the Cascades. while from
here to Wallula the cost would not b /.
more than twelve or fifteen thousand
dollars per mile
The river from The Dalles to the
Case DDS is always at q good boating
stage. If We except from one to six
weeks during the months of January
and February. when it is frozen over |;
but which We believe could readily be
kept open with the aid of an ice boat.
From this point barges could be loaded
and towed down to the Cascades. or ,
when the locks are completed, on down
TO Portland or Astoria. there to be put
into ships aud carried to foreign mar
kets. -Dalles Mountaineer.
