Human and Animal Endurance in the

Human and Animal Endurance in the
 Water.
 Henry MacCormac in Popular Science Monthly for
 July.l
 Men and animals are able to sustain them selves for long distances in the water, and would do SO much oftener were they not in capacitated, in regard of the former at least, by sheer terror, as well as complete ignor- ance of their real powers Webbs wonder ful endurance will never be forgotten. But there are other instances only less remark able. Some years since the second mate of a ship fell overheard while in the act of fist ing sail. It was blowing fresh the time was night, and the place some miles out in the stormy German Ocean. The hardy fel- low nevertheless managed to gain the English coast. Brock, with 8 dozen other pilots, was plying for fares by Yarmouth and, as the main-sheet was belayed, sudden puff of wind upset the boat, when presently all perished except Brock himself, who, from four o'clock in the afternoon of an October evening to one the next morning, swam thir- teen miles before he was able to hail vessel at anchor in the offing. Animals themselves are capable of swimming immense distances, although unable to rest by the way. A dog recently swan thirty miles in America in order to rejoin his master. A mule and a dog washed overheard during gale in the Bay of Biscay have been known to make their way to the shore. A dog swan ashore with letter in his mouth at the Cape o1 Good Hope. The crew of the ship to which the dog belonged all perished, which they need not have donehad they only have ventur ed to tread water as the dog did. As certarr ship was laboring heavily ix the trough o1 the sea, it was found needful, in order tc tighten the vessel, to throw some troop | horses overheard, which had been taken il at Corunna. The poor things, my informant a staf-surgeon, told me, when they found themselves abandoned, faced round and swan for miles after the vessel. A man or the east coast of Lincolnshire saved quite a back to vessels in distress He commonly rode aa old gray mare, but, when the mare was not to hand, he took the first horse that offered

seth Greens Spider Story.

If you anchor pole in body of water, and put spider upon it, he wi exhibit mar vellous intelligence by his plans to escape. At first he will spin web of several inches long and hang to one end while he allows the other to float of in the wind, in the hope that it will strike some object. Of course the plan proves failure, but the spider is not discouraged. He waits till the wind changes, and then sends another silken bridge floating of in another direction. Another failure is followed by several other attempts. until all the points of. the compass have been tried But neither the resources nor the reasoning power of the spider are exhausted
 He climbs to the top of the pole and energeti- cally goes to work to construct silken bal loon. He has no hot air with which to infate
 it, but he has the power of making it buoy ant When he gets his balloon finished, he does not go off on the mere supposition that it will carry him, as men often do, but he fastens it to a guy rope, the other end of which he attaches to the island pole upon which he is a prisoner. Then he gets into his aerial vehicle, while it is made fast. and tests it to see whether it's dimensions are capable of the work of bearing him away. He often finds that he has made it too small,
 in which case he hauls it down, takes it all apart, and constructs it on larger and bet ter plan A spider has been known 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 supremely independ-
 ent of his surroundings as could we'll be i'm agined

When man is well and sound he can af- ford to be indifferent to the character of all the medicine in the world.
