Enemies Of Spiders.

The well-known naturalist. the Rev.
H. E. McCook, of Philadelphia, has been
talking to the Academy of that city on
spiders, which he designated as the
most benevolent of insects. Among the
principal enemies of the spider he emu
merated many of those hymenopterous
or four winged flies, the bees, wasps,
etc., which produce fiesh-eating grubs.
Large numbers of spiders are used by
these species as food. The nest of one
of these forms was exhibited, built of
clay in such manner as to resemble
the pipes of Pan. When opened. these
nests were found filed with spiders of
different species. They were all para
lyzed by the fly, but not killed, and in
this state of suspended animation they
remain until the Matching out of the
grubs, which eagerly devour them one
after the other. The unfortunate cap
tives lie limp in the jaws of the grubs.
showing no sign of sensation and MAX
ing no resistance. Other flies. and
among these may be included the COM
mon black house fly, prey upon spiders
by destroying the cocoons or by suck
ing the contents of their eggs when
they happen to be uncovered or only
slightly protected. The eggs are also
devoured in large numbers by birds.
Some species of birds assist in prevent
ing the spread of spiders by making use
of their webs, especially the thicker
portion used in the construction of CO.
coons, to build their nests. A birds
nest was exhibited composed of this
material in such quantity as to indicate
the destruction of great many webs.
Those hymenopterous insects which de-
post their eggs in the cocoons of the
spiders are, however. their most de-
structive enemies. When the grubs are
Matched they attack the eggs and young
of their hosts and consume them as
food, until sufficiently developed to OBJ
tain their nourishment.

There are but few farmers who will
condescend to work in their garden; il
is to them beneath their dignity. 90
the women attend to that; I've some
thing else to attend to-" Yet the foun-
dation of good farming y sooner and
better learned there than on the farm
itself. Fine filth, heavy manuring, close
and prompt wedding. adaptation of the
labor to the demands of each vegetable
is but the commonest of garden work;
hut no farmer ever thinks that these
little things {apparently) are all that
not only makes a garden, but the farm
also.
Every one upon hearing of any unu-
sual occurrence is at once eager for the
particulars little points which went
to make up the whole affair-in fact, the
gist Of the matter. Now, too many
farmers do their work upon a grand
scale-the little minutes are left out;
why notleave out the raisins. the sugar,
the spice and the wine from the mince
pies? Why not slap together raw meat,
coarse -four, little grease and pass of
the compound for q Christmas dainty ?
The small matters so much neglected
among farmers are the principle causes
of failure.
It is good rule that when you have
finished piece OF work you should go
over it once more for luck, it is the last
time with the harrow. the hoe, the
spade or the manure-spreader which
gives the artistic, scientific finishing
touch to q job of work; and it is like
Peter Henderson's fifty-first load of ma

A Successful Swindler.

Except an Irish landlord, says the
London World, TO member of the peer
age is more to be pitied than Lord
Airlie. For several years past he has
been endeavoring to stop the career of
q clever adventurer, who has been
pleased to adopt the name of his eldest
son, Lord Ogilvy. and, under that desig-
nation, to run up debts, forge bills. and
swindle people generally in all parts of
the world. The number of applications
which Lord Airlie has received for
payment of my account from trades
men, who thought they were trusting
his SON and heir, is simply incredible.
These bills come in perfect shower
from all parts of the Continent and the
United States; and although public no.
tees and warnings of all tinds have
been launched at the head of the i'm
postor, and once or twice he has actually
been arrested, yet, after short time he
is certain to be found ut his old tricks
again, and poor Lord Airlie is obliged
once more to explain to q phalanx of
clamorous tradesmen that they have
been duped and robbed. No real lord
was ever trusted half SO much as this
spurious one. His manners are said to
be distinguished" his personal APP
pearance is attractive, and with the
fair sex he has always been q great hit.
Meanwhile the real Lord Ogilyy is al
ways with his regiment, the Tenth
Hussars, in India, not having half such
a good time Of it as his double.

this is, and the principal must keep a

1t is not denied that this is close
agreement when it is considered how
long some of the periods of revolution
are. But what of it? Who has ever
proved or presented evidence that has
any semblance of proof that planets ar
irving at their perihelion points have
the least perceptibie influence on either
the sun or earth or any of the other
planets?
Each planet, even the giant Jupiter,
is pigmy compared to the sun: in
fact he will outweight all of them CON-
bincd by more than 700 times. What
effect then can the simple difference in
distance of any single planet, say of
Jupiter, have on the heat, and light,
and spots, etc., on the sun, almost 50O,-
900, 900 miles Distant
The planet Mercury is comparatively
near the sun and almost as dense as
lead, and the eccentricity of his orbit is
SO great that he is over 20, 600, coo miles
nearer the sun at perlhelion than at
aphelion. but has any one ever per-
ceived any changes on the sun once in
eighty-eight days? Has any recurrence
OF magnetic storms, earthquakes,
plaques, or an excess of calamities of
any kind ever been noticed during his
perihelion passages? If not, then it is
safe to say none exists and the subject
may be classed with the thousand other
delusions which exist in the minds of
men. and for which no remedy is known
save thorough and universal educs-
ton OF all classes OF society.
