The animal life of our country valua-
bic to man is based almost wholly on its
vegetable productions, and especially its
grasses. In this light, Florida is not a
rich country. The spontaneous vegeta-
bic growth that feeds the useful animals
is not abundant enough to afford large
degree of wealth to the State. The wild
turkey and the deer have both been nat
urally abundant, and both furnish good
food for man; and they are less depend
ent on the succulent grasses than the do

An INSECT GoLIATH-Th bird-spider
of tropical America, according to a
French writer, has body as much as
four and one-fourth inches long, or di-
ameter of seven inches with the legs ex-
tended, and is the largest of the several
hundred known species of spiders. Its
nests resemble those of the large cater
pillars of France, and consist of beau

layers, and strengthened by very strong
threads capable OF arresting small bird.
In the center are placed the eggs, per-
haps 1,500 or 1000 in number. The
creature is very powerful, and is pro-

attack, enabling it to destroy not only
young birds and adult humming birds,
but large lizards and reptiles.
1t has been observed by Prof. Holde-
heiss that beet seed sown in pot in
which the soil was exposed to the cleo

than similar seeds without the action of
the electric light. Another interesting
observation is that of Herr Scholler
who has noticed an exceptional luxuri-
