THE WOLF SPIDER.
The Wonderful Elastic Thread Constructed
by This Species OF Araneidsns.

The Wonderful Elastic Thread Constructed
by This Species OF Araneidsns.
Suddenly appears on the wall dark
gray fly or perhapsa a beetle. 1t moves
with wonderful 9uickness, but always
by fits and starts, sometimes one way
and then another. All at once it darts
few inches from the wall, and then
flies back again to the same spot. This
action is several times repeated. and is
so quick that the creatures wings can
not be seen. approach the wall more
closely and find that the creature is
n-ither fly nor beetle, nor even an in.
sect 1t is a hunting spider. and, Of
course, has no. wings. How, then. did
1t fly from the wall a back again? l
have long been familiar with these pretty
and active spiders. | have often seen them
sidle cautiously toward fly, leap upon
it, and have sharp tussle with it be.
fore 1t succumbed to the venomed fangs.
Window sills. especially when facing
southwark, are happy hunting grounds
for this spider. had often seen spider
and hy tumble together off tie win
dow sill. and presently the spider
return still clasping its prey. II
had saved itself from falling to
the ground by spinning thread
AS it rolled off the SILL and was able to
regain its position by climbing up the
thread. But until lately | had never
seen it leap from perpendicular wall,
and TO all appearances fly back again.
This thread affords the means whereby
this remarkable feat is performed. 1t Is
extremely elastic. and when the spider
has reached the end Of its leap the
thread contracts and jerks il back again,
Just as a child throws ball away from
him and draws it back TO his hand by an
India rubber thread, which is attached
to 1t. How ] had failed to notice this
action for so many years l can not
imagine. Even the common wolf spider
will act in the same way. ! caught
glimpse of the creature crouching in the
wall under the shadow of Il vine leaf, so
that ! could not identify Il. Suddenly
il darted from the wall and alighted on
the ground at some little distance, the
elastic thread causing it to describe a
slow and graceful curve, just as If it had
wings. As II darted from the wall
put the net over it. and much to my sur
prise, found that it was no insect. but a
wolf spider. -Longman's Magazine.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.

The Forthcoming Report of the Bureau Of
Education--Universal Teaching Of Indus
trial Drawing to be Warmly Recon-
mended.
WASHINGTON, u. c., November 22.--
The Bureau of Education Is preparing a
report on art and industry in institu-
tons Of training. 1t is replete with prac-
tical knowledge which will form a basis
for those studies in public schools. The
work has been in preparation since 1874,
and although some parts of II have been
published the major portion OF the con-
tents IL new, and has been collected and
edited with considerable trouble and care.
Much delay has been experienced In se-
curing its publication, owing to insult
cientcy of appropriations or its use In
other branches of the Interior Depart
ment, under which the Bureau Education
is placed. The fundamental idea of the
work Is that universal teaching in all public
schools OF the elements of industrial draw
ing is an essential part of any general sys-
TEN Of public education. The work con-
tains a report Of the system followed in
English institutions and those In other
countries relating to technical instruction
and the history OF the progress Of indus
trial and fine arts. There are several orig
inal papers in the work dealing with the
advance OF this science and its probable
effect as textbook for school uses.

sailing of the MarIposa.

The delay yesterday in the sailing of the
Mariposa, which was caused by the vessel
having to wait until the tide made suffi-
GENTLY to enable her to move out, was taken
advantage of by that large class Of letter
writers who are busted up to the last mo-
ment, and have ordinarily barely time to
get their letters on board the steamers when
they are about to leave. A good many more
packages were sent through the Post Office
yesterday than usual, and even when the
gang plank of the steamer WAS being with
drawn more letters we're sent on board.
Mr.. Daggett, late United States Minister
Resident, and Mrs. Daggett were surrounded

Of American patriotic airs. As the ste amer
moved away from the wharf, the Star
Spangled Banner" was played, Mr.. DagGett
acknowledging the compliment
The steamers deck was alive with people
bidding their friends good-by, until the
last whistle was sounded, and at 2 o'clock
p. m. the Mariposa moved into the stream,
and started on her homewaTd trip.
