THE SPIDER AS A BAL
LOONIST.

In speaking of the intelligence
displayed by birds and beasts, Seth
Green argued strongly in favor OF
the reasoning power of insects es-
pecially, and related from his own
experience the manner in which a
spider constructs a balloon. If you
anchor pole in body of water
leaving the pole above the surface,
and put spider upon it, he will
exhibit marvellous intelligence by
his plans to escape. At first, he
will spin web several inches long
and hang to one end while he allows
the other to float off in the wind,
in the hope that it will strike some
object. Of course this plan proves
a failure, but the spider is not dis
couraged. He waits until the wind
changes, and then sends another
silken bridge floating off in another
| direction. Another failure is fol-
lowed by several other similar at
tempts, until all the points Of the
| compass have been tried. But
neither the resources nor the reas-
oning power of the spider is exhaust
ed. He climbs to the top of the
pole and theoretically goes to work
to construct a silken balloon. He
has no hot air with which to initiate
it, but he has the power of making
it bouyant. When he gets his ba-
loon finished he does not 60 off up
on the mere supposition that it will
carry him, as men often do, but he
fastens it to guy rope, the other
end Of whic'' he attaches to the is
land pole upon which he is pris-
oner. He then gets into his aerial
vehicle, while it is made fast, and
test it to see whether its dimensions
are capable Of the work of bearing
him away. He oftens finds that he
has made it too small, in which case
he hauls it down, takes it all apart,
and constructs it on a larger and
better plan. A spider has been
seen to make three different balloons
before he became satisfied with his
experiment. Then he will get in,
snap the guy-rope, and sail away to
land as gracefully and as supreme
ly Independent of his sourround-
ings as could well be imagined.
Mr.. Green stated that he had re-
peatedly witnessed such actions by
spiders, and that he feels convinc-
ed that it is reason that enabled
them to free themselves from their
prison.-Rochester Democrat.

"WHEN is a man not MANI
asked Jones. Of course he expect
ed everybody to give it up, and then
he was going to say, "When he is
shaving" But they didn't give it
up; not a bit of it. One said it was
when he was fool enough to deal in
conondrums; another answered it
was when he worked over jokes a
thousand years old, and third told
Jones to look in the glass and see
for himself. Jones said he didn't
see what in time they were driving
at, but somehow he had lost all in
terest in his conundrum, and hadn't
the heart to tell them the true mean

THE BUTTER BIRD.

Humboldt, in his s'Travels in
South America" records visit to
Caripe, where is the cavern of the
Guacharo bird; and our knowledge
of this wonder is derived from his
most interesting narrative. Among
the natives in the country, this cav
ern is celebrated for its great size,
for the mysterious birds which
haunt its Utmost recesses, for the
river which flows from it, and for
the superstitious belief that in its
gloomy depths is the abode of the
spirits of their departed ancestors.
The name which it bears signifies
''the mine Of fat" because from the
young Of the birds which inhabit
it an immense quantity Of fat is an
nually obtained. These birds are
about the size ofour common fowl,
with wings which expands to three
feet and a half. All day long they
dwell in the cavarn, and, like our
owls, only come forth at night.
They subsist entirely on fruit, and
have very powerful beaks, which
are necessary to crack the tough
nuts and reeds which form part of
their food.
The approach to the cavern where
they arc found in along the bed of
river, in valley celebrated for
its beauty and the salubrity Of its
climate. The immediate entrance
is surrounded by the most gorgeous
tropical vegetation. The hill, into
depths of which it penetrates for
upward of half a mile, is clothed
with trees of immense height. The
mouth is a splendid arch upwards
Of seventy feet high; the river which
flows from it has a fringe of vege-
tation along its banks, which grad
ually diminishes as the gloom in
creases.
The cave is so straight that the
traveller can enter for some distance
without being obliged to light his
torch. AS he proceeds over the some
what rough ground which forms the
bed of the river, begins to hear from
atar the hoarse cries Of the Guach-
arc birds; and when he has arrived
at the dark parts Of the cavern the
noise is perfectly terrific; thousands
of the birds uttering their piercing
cries simultaneously. These cries
reecho from the surrounding walls
and when it is remembered that
they take place in pitchy darkness,
it will be easy to understand the
superstitions terrors which the In
dians associate with the spot. At
half a mile from the entrance the
river forms a cascade, and beyond
this the cavern slightly changes in
direction. Nothing will persuade
the Indians to adventure further
than this spot.
Midsummer is the harvesting
time for the fat. The Indians en-
ter the cave armed with long poles.
The nests are attached to holes in
the roof about sixty feet above their
heads. They break these with the
poles, and the young birds fall down
and are instantly killed. Under
meath their bodies is a layer of fat,
which is cut off, and is the object
sought. AT the mouth of the cavern
huts are erected with palm leaves
and there, in pots of clay the ma
tives melt the fat which has been
collected.
This is known as the butter of
the Guacharo it is so pure that it
may be kept for upwards of a year
without becoming rancid. At the
convent of Caripe no other oil is
ever used in the kitchen of the
monks.
