Sometbinp About Suiders.

Spiders are not insects as most people
think. There is precisely the same rela-
tionship between spider and an insect
that there is between a COW and Goldfish.
The COW and the fish are both vertebrates,
and the spider and the insects are both an
nulates, but there the resemblance ceases.
in every other point Of structure they differ
widely from each other The spider has
eight legs, whereas an insect cannot
have more than six. The nervous system
is constructed on a totally different system,
and so are the circulation and respiration.
The eyes are different, the insects having
many compound eyes and the spider never
having more than eight, and all of them
simple. Then a spider has no separate
head as in the case with insects, the head
ano the rax being fused together Neither
does the spider pass through the series of
developments which we call " transforma-
ton" When the young spider is Matched
it is a spider, and retains the same shape
through its whole life. Again, no insect
that is at present known can spin silken
threads. Take the silkworm as familiar
example The silk is spun by the cater
pillar and not by the moth. Now, the spi-
der can spin threads throughout the whole
Of its life. 1t possesses, moreover, the fac
ulty of producing different kinds of six,
according TO the object for which it is
needed. II we watch the first of these
creatures we may see all the three silks
produced. The web Of the diadem spider
is made of radiating cables, like the spokes
of wheel, and having a slight thread
wound spirally over the spokes The whole
web is suspended by cables like those
which form the spokes, and guy ropes of
similar structure support it on every side
a hlIp- h0ft 10 tiU hn1ZlIty alnNtr
and blunders against one of the supporting
cables 1t is not arrested by the cables but
falls upon the net, where it is at once
caught. If we examine the web with q
toIerably powerful magnifying glass we
shall see that the cables and spokes are
quite smooth, while the spiral thread is
covered with little globules of gummy
character. There are 400 Of these in each
inch of thread, and on an average a COM
plete web contains 1900 of them These
globules acl just like bird-lime, and the
moment that an insect touches one Of them
with its leg or wing it is held tightly by the
guTn flood Words

Sea Bathing.


Sea bathing is not cure-all, yet there
are few classes of people to whom it may
not bring some benefit. For delicate con-
situations and for many of the complaints
of debility sea bathing is powerful tome.
1t is medicinal for MANY invalids. Of the
many persons who are III need OF tome
and strengthening treatment there are lew
who will not derive some benefit from sea
bathing, provided only that they will make
haste slowly and bear in mind the neceS-
sary precautions The question of the sea
temperature is an important one for safe
beginning The water must be warm
enough. A chief source of benefit III sea or
river bathing is, indeed, the GOODNESS OF the
temperature and the consequent healthy
glow of warmth caused by the rushing OF
blood to the skin on leaving the water and
the stimulating influence upon the yIScera.
But all this is too active treatment for The
invalid at the beginning One must be
educated up to the tolerance of the cold
bath. Al some of the French seaside re-
sorts. and recently at some of our own, as
at Marblehead, the excellent plan Is fol-
lowed of giving preparatory baths OF warm
sea water indoors. 1t is good beginning
for some very delicate women who ind
even the summer heat of the Mediterranean
(75o to 500 Fahrenheit) too cool at the out
set. But whenever this initiation is prac-
ticed, il should not be a long one. The
artificial warmth OF the bath should be
lessened day by day, until after a moderate
time it is reduced nearly to that of the sea,
and the patient is proven strong enough to
cultivate a more intimate and invigorating
acquaintance with old ocean himself.
For this purpose a calm, warm and
sunny day should be chosen; a windy
day should be particularly avoided,
for the evaporation from the clothes
and the body is then so rapid as to chill
the body both on entering and leaving the
water. Never go into a cold bath when
YOU feel cold This well applies to all bath
ers, whether strong or delicate. To make it
effective, it is desirable to lose no time,
after beginning to undress, in getting into
the water The best time Of the day is two
or three hours after eating, and preferably
in the forenoon. II may be borne in mind
that the beach and waves themselves are
generally cleaner during the ebb tide than
during the flood, and it is desirable that the
air should be warm as well as the sea. The
sun being well out, the first bath from the
beach nav be taken and it should be a
very brief one, lasting no longer than Is
necessary to wet the body from head to
foot. On leaving the water the bather
should strip and be rubbed dry, and this
Immediately. Indolent bathers run more
risk by lingering and shivering in their
wet clothes than from any amount OF
swimming
