While their nearly constant abode ia
the water, they are, like most other
spiders, air breathers; consequently thew
need some special provision for PROVIDING
themselves with air while living under
the water, and for this purpose they DOS
sess the art of constructing a kind of
diving bell. 1t is an interesting sight to
witness one of them making his air cell.
Clinging to the lower side of a few
leaves, and securing them in position bv
spinning few threads, the spider rises
to the level Of the water, with its belly
uppermost, and, doubling up its hind
legs, retains stratum of air among the
hairs with which its body is covered
Then it plunges into the water and an
pears as in the first stage of the making
of its silvery robe. Going Immediately
to the spot it had chosen, it brushes its
body with its paws, when the air de-
taches itself and forms a bubble under
the leaf. The spider surrounds this
bubble with the impermeable. silky mat
ter furnished by its spinnaret. J. S&s az
Returning to the surface, it takes in
another layer of air, which it carries
down and adds to the first one, also ex.
ten''2g the envelope over it. The process
is l. It up till the "diving bell'' has
reached the proper size and is finished.
The ideal form of the construction Is that
of thimble, but it often assumes an ir-
regular shape, like an inverted sack.
When the spider has taken possession Of
its redoubt it remains quiet in it, head
down, watching for the appearance of
an insect. Perceiving one, it seizes it
and returns to its lodge, which it has Sc
cured against intruders by. spinning
threads across it, to devour it's prey at its
leisure.-M. Emile Blanchard in Popular
Science Monthly.

An Exercise for Health.

If you are troubled with too much
blood in the head, the best thing you can
do for simple remedy is to take the
twisting movements of the trunk at the
waist. Keep the feet firm, turn the
trunk as far as possible to the right till
you face right--four times; the same to
the left; then alternate the movements.
Next, bend the body strongly and slowly
to the right, from the waist, then to the
left. Again bend forward as strongly
as possible, from the waist, then slightly
back, at first, increasing on the back
movement later, as you are able. MARY

a Very Curious Case.

A highly intelligent lady known to one
doctor related to him that one day she
was walking past public institution
and observed child, in whom she was
particularly interested, coming out
through an iron gate. She saw that he
let so the gate after opening it, and that
it seemed likely to close upon him, and
concluded that it would do so with such
force as to crush his ankle; however, this
did not happen. at was impossible, !"
she said, ''by word or act to be quick
enough to meet the supposed emergency;
and, in fact found could not move,
for such intense pain came on in the
ankle, corresponding to the one which
thought the boy would have injured. that
could only put my hand on it to lesser
its extreme painfulness. am sure I did
not move SO as to strain or gprain it.
The walk home, distance of about
quarter of a mile, was very laborious,
and on taking off my stocking found
circle round the ankle, as if it had been
painted with red currant juice, with q
large spot Of the same on the outer part.
BY morning the wholefoot was inhamed,
and was a prisoner to mybed many
days. w. H. Hawiey in Boston Globe.
