: How SPIDERS live under water is
thus explained: The creature goes to
the surface of the water and moves all
it's legs busily, Just as if it were trying
to crawl out Of the water. Suddenly It
gives sharp jerk or kick, and dives
beneath the surface. It then looks ex-
actly as If it were surrounded by a case
of polished silver, owing to q bubble of
air which it has inclosed beneath its
long hind legs. Besides this there are
number of smaller bubbles which
cling to the other; legs, and which can
be added to the principal bubble wien
needed. This supply of air is sufficient
to last the, spider for q considerable
time.
In the erection of the Pyramids Of
Egypt the immense stones used were
obtained from the quarries in the Ara
bian hills, and were carried over the
river by a bridge of boats. They were
then brought by means of causeway,
which of itself it took ten years to con-
struct, and which is said to have been
a fine work, with it's polished stones
and figures of animals engraved, OF
them. One hundred Thousand men
we're employed at q time, and these
we're relieved by the same number at
the end of three months. A long time
was spent in leveling off the rocks on
which the edifce stands, and twenty
years for the edifice itself. The stones
were raised, step by step, by means of
a machine made of short pieces of
wood, and, last of all, commencing
from the top, the stones were ceroented
together by layers of cement not thick
or than q strip of paper, the strength of
which is improved by the age of these
enormous materials.
Each of our features is supposed to
have language eyes, nose and mouth.
But the language of hair has been
formulated in the following zanner :
Straight, lank, stringy looking hair in
dicates weakness and cowardice. Curly
hair denotes quick temper. Frizzy hail,
set on ones head as if each indi-
vidual hair were ready to fight it's
neighbor, denotes coarseness. Black
hair indicates persistent resolution in
accomplishing an object, also a strong
predisposition to avenge wrongs and
insult-real or fancied. Brown hair
denotes fondness for life, friendly
disposition, ambition, earnestness Of
purpose, capacity for business, reia-
bility in friendship, in proportion as the
hair is fine. Very fine hair indicates
an even disposition, readiness to for
give, with desire to add to the happi-
ness of others. Persons with fine light
brown or auburn hair, inclined to curl
f.. or friz, are quick-tempered, and are
given to resentment and revenge
Light-brown hair, inclined to lredness,
with a freckled skin, is q certain indi-
cation of deceit, treachery and dispo.
