a Trick ON . Spider.

great many years ago prisoner OF
state who was allowed tocheer the soli-
tude of his dungeon by playing on his
flute, discovered after while TINT every
time he played great number of spid-
ers gathered about hin. Since then the
liking of spiders for music has been
proved. I myself had often wished to
play for a spider audience, but was
not we'll enough acquainted with any
musical instrument to coax q tune out
Of it.
Ascienti6c gentleman of Europe gave
me valuable hint by an experiment of
his own. He used atuning-fork. Now
can play tuning fork as we'll as any
body. 1 procured tuning fork, and
sought out q spider. I found hand
some, brandnew web, and though Ibid
not see Mistress Epeirs, I knew she
must be at home. Epeira Diadema is
her full name, though most persons call
her garden spider. It is she who
makes those beautiful wheel-like webs
which festoon the rose bushes and trees.
As I have said, Madame Spider was
not visible. Iknew, however, she must
be in her gossamer parlor, which is ut
tsched to her web.
Here was good chance to try tuning
fork music. I raped the fork on q
stone, and in o moment, soft, melod-
ious hum filled the air. touched one
of the spokes of the web with the fork.
On the instant, Madame flew out of her
parlor in great haste, hesitated q mo-
ment ct the outer edge of the web, and
then, instead Of going straight to the
tuning fork, ran to the very center Of
the web.
When there, she quickly caught hold
OF each of the spokes one after the other,
and gave it little tug, as boy does
his fishing line to see il fish is hooked.
Each was passed by until she came to
the spoke upon which the humming
fork rested. There she stopped, and
it was easy to see she was excited.
She gave the whole web shake; then
tugged at the spoke again. Hum M
m-m" still sang the fork, rather family
now, however.
| Madame was satisfied. Her mind was
made up. Down she darted and caught
the end Of the fork in her arms. She
tried to bite into the hard metal, and at
the same time she spun web of silk
around aud around the two prongs,
which by this time had ceased vibrat-
ing.
pulled the fork away, and Madame
Epeira retired in disappointment to the
center Of the web. But If she was disap-
pointed, SO was I, for was satisfied
that it was not the music of the fork that
had attracted her. Unfortunately, it
was altogether too probable that she
mistook the hum of the fork for the buzz
of afy,-a sort Of music no doubt very
sweet to her.
Time after time repeated the expert
ment with the fork, touching in turn
each spoke Of the web, and each time
Madame Spider was deluded into trying
to capture the tuning fork. 1t was odd
that she did not learn wisdom by re-
peated disappointment ST. Nicholas
