that nothing but sentimental considerations,

Spiders that Kill Birds.

Everybody knows that spiders catch
flies aud other insects; but that some of
them kill little birds may not be SO gem
orally known. A traveller in Brazil
tells us that he caught one of them in
the very act while going through a
forest in the Amazons. The spider was
a hairy fellow. with a body two inches
long, and eight legs measuring seven
inches each. from end to end. The
writer describing the incident, says:
/ was attracted by a. movement of the
monster on tree trunk; it was close
beneath asdeep cTevice 1.-THE tree, across
which was stretched a dense white
wcbs The lower part of the web was
broken, and two small birds, finches,
were entanglsd i'll the pieces. One
of them was quite dead. and the
other nearly SO. / drove away the mon
ster, and took the birds, but the second
one soon died. The fact of species OF
mygale, to which genus this spider be-
longs sallying forth at night, mounting
trees, and sucking the eggs and young
of humming birds, has been recorded
long ago by Madam Merriam and Palisot
de Beauvois; but, in the absence of any
confirmation, it has come to be dis
credited. From the way the fact has
been related it would appear that it had
been merely derived from the report OF
natives, and had not been witnessed by
the narTators. The mygales are quite
common insects; some species make
their cells under stones, others form
artistical tunnels in the earth, and some
build their dens in the thatch of houses.
The natives call them Aranhas caran-
gueijeiras, or crab-spiders. The hairs
with which they are clothed come of
when touched, and cause peculiar and
almost madden 1g irritation. The first
specimen that ] killed was handled in
cautiously, and | suffered terribly fol
three days afterward. | think this is
not owing to any poisonous quality re-
siding in the hairs, but TO their being
short and hard and thus getting into
the fine creases of the skin. Some my
gales are of immense size. One day ]
saw the children belonging to an Indian
family with one of these monsters Sc.
cured by cord round its waist, By
which they were leading it about the
house as they would dog.

An ingenious Danger signal !.

The House committee on comm cree
has reported bill ordering the con-
struction of one of Mann's danger sig
mails, at cost of not more than 50, 500,
in order that it may be tested by he
lighthouse board. Fog bells run by
machinery on land are available only at
certain stations. Steam sirens are ex-
pensive. requiring steam engine and
the services of two men. Fog bells so
arranged that the movement of the
waves rings the bell are SO liable to get
out of order that they become useless
Just when they are most needed.
Another invention, now in use on the
Massachusetts, coast, near Boston har-
Dor, is serviceable in deep water. 1t is
bell-shaped vessel with whistle at
tached, which is blown by the rising
and falling of the waves. But it is
necessary that pipe attached to this
should extend down into the water to a
| great depth, and therefore this signal
cannot be used in shOal water. The
pipe sometimes becomes clogged with
weeds, and the device fails to be of ser.
vice.
| Mann's device is floating vessel,
shaped like pear, with its base in the
water. When anchored by a strong
cable upon shoal where the motion OF
the sea is always considerable, constant
rocking causes the air to be drawn into
| the vessel through one set of tubes and
to be forced out through another set of
tubes and through an opening at the top
of the vessel. where is placed a contri-
vance like the reed of a clarionet. The
sound produced is loud and shrill, even
when there is but little motion OF the
waves, and when they are turbulent it
becomes shrek of great power and
volume. 1t is said that the vessel isnot
easily put out of order, and will work
until its parts are worn out. The reed
can be so adjusted as to produce different
sounds, and may be assigned to certain
shoal. The mariner can thus, in the
dark, discover by the signal the name
and location of the shoal which he is
approaching. 1t is said that such a sig
nal will be OF great value on the Frying
pan shoals and other extensive shoals
on the Southern coast, and that one OF
these signals would have saved the
Huron and her passengers if it had been
at work on the shoals where this vessel
struck. Mr.. Mann is poor man and a
mechanic, and will be content with
what Congress may give him TOR his IN
vention, ,--New HnUefs Union.

How Big is Man !

How big Is a man, anyway! Well,
be is smaller than an elephant, and an
elephant is smaller than q mountain
and mountain is smaller than the
world, and the world is mustard seed
compared with the sun, and thessun it.
self is a mere mote in the dust cloud OF
spheres that stretches out through the
universe beyond the reach of thought.
Suppose we could make an exact model
of the earth eighty feet in diameter.
Eighty feet in diameter would
be a pretty large ball as balls 20
on the face of this planet. Assume, for
the sake of easy calculation, the diam
eter Of the earth to be exactly 5000
miles, and let us proceed to build our
model to scale. A mountain five miles
high should represent on our model
$50, ,OOOth of eighty feet or 6-l0 of an
inch. An elephant built in proportion
should be Ia, 400th of an inch in height,
and an average man 1852, ,60Oth of an
inch tall. An army of 26, 400 such men
standing shoulder to shoulder in single
straight rank would require their gem
eral to gallop over q space of one inch to
pass them all under review. With a
smart horse Of proportionate size, rid
den at q brisk galiop. he could accom-
pllsh this distance in about an hour.
Viewed In this way a man is a mere
mite crawling over the fsce of the globe,
yet he has had the arrogance to think
the universe was formed for him more
than for other insects, and that the
Ruling Intelligence had him pre- emf
nently IN view in bringing order out of
chaos. = Scfe'stsjfc Nesgs.

CHAPTER II.

"You will go to meet Miss Bassett, ]
suppose, Nelliep" inquired her mother.
Oh, yes, mother. Edward was
good enough to say that he would drive
me to the station in his dog-cart; he will
bring us both home, too. He says that
rich young lady like Miss Bassett will
not care to walk mile, even along our
lovely lanes. he is sure.e
Perhaps there was the slightest under
tone of sarcasm in Nellie's voice, ior
her mother glanced at her as if in sur
prise without replying.
Edward had given Nellie, bit by BIT,
and with good deal of tact, his ideas
upon the subject of money, and of the
comfort to be derived from proper use
OF it. Outwardly the two were as good
friends as ever. At heart however, he
was carefully on his guard, while Nellie,
tender, and gentle-natured though she
was, could not help slightly despisine
him.
Miss BasseIt was an old scheol-fellow
of Nellie's and great heiress, and she
had taken fancy to spend the remain
der of the summer in the old tumble
doYn farmhouse which Nellic called
home.
Edward was very attentive, even spe-
cially kind to Nellie, on their way to
the station, .and her heart went out tc
him again.
If only had not said that to him.
she thought. as the d0g-cart stoppt
and he carefully lifted her out,
