 "A printing office furnished me with the strangest spider have. It was lean, lank, semi transparent, tubular bodied, small headed specimen, with very long, thin legs and a remarkably hungry look. He had two eyes in front, and on each side of the head three, tapping on each other clover leaves do."
 ttHow do you get your spiders."
 Catch some myself; others are sent to me. An acquaintance sent me three the other day. When I unwrapped the package and saw they were in one box I became doubtful I opened the box. One of the three was a jumping spider. What the others were l could not tell. The jumping spider had killed them, and was frisking about over their broken carcasses."

s'The eyes of the wolf spider are adapted to the uses it has for them. On each side of it's body are two eyes, and in the front of it's head four. It weaves no web. Prowling along a wall, fence, or branch, the wolf spies fly, instantly attaches a line to the object upon which it is moving, and looks wickedly at the fly. The fly steps forward and stops The wolf steps forward, gets nearer to the fly, and stops. Every time the fly moves the spider follows and gains upon it until near enough for it's purpose, when 1t pounces upon the fly and the ittest survives. Should the fly turn from the top of the fence to go down the side, the wolf hastens to the edge, drops upon the fly, and then draws him. self and his dinner up to the top of the fence.
 ''House or barn spiders-chaps with big, round bodies-have two eyes on the top ot
 the head. Horny lids force these to look to the sides and rear In front there are two that can see straight forward and upward, Be low these on either side of the head are two eyes, nearly joined, with hulging cover that flinders their looking upward. These on the
 inner side of the bulges take cross-eyed
 view of matters. So, you see, the house
 spider, hanging in the center of the web
 which an untidy maid has left swinging from
 the ceiling, can keep one eye upon her and
 another upon her broom, third upon the
 mosquito buZzing about in front of it, Q
 fourth upon little rent in the web, fifth
 upon fly that is nearing the danger point,
 a sixth upon a crack in the ceiling, seventh
 upon one of it's own legs, and the eighth for
 miscellaneous purposes.
