Jumping Spiders,

the group which naturalists, call the.
saltatory spiders. Some of them, are

torous insect, or under, an aspect res
sembling that of ants. Producing only
a small quantity of silk, they hide
themselves in cracks in the walls or in
fissures of bark in the shadow of the
foliage, and make themselves a lodge
out Of smooth or fossy tissue. At
the laying of its eggs, the jumper shuts
itself up in its shell. One species de-.
posits its eggs without any covering,
more. fortunate species incloses them
in n sack with thin and almost dia-
phanous walls. Not having the facul-
ty of spinning webs, the .saltatOry
spiders are hunters, and have to fast il
the weather is bad. On pleasant days
they are to be found all around, and,
having eyes all over the cephalic re-
gion, some of them quite small aud othr
ers of enormous. size, they can look
accurately through all the. surround.
ing space, which they explore slowly
and with care. If lily is in sight, the
spider lances itself upon 1t with dizzy
rapidity. 1t measures its distance so
well that it rarely misses; but, If this
should happen, no harm comes to it,
for it has liked thread to its starting
point. which, unrolling as it leaps,
prevents its striking upon the ground,
and affords an easy road BACK to its
position. = NJ Emile Blanchard, ia

Insuring His Election!
Both Parties Claim Indiana
by Small Majorities.
Connecticut and New Jersey
Probably Drmocratic!
CaliEornia Still in Doubt!

The returns at this time indicate
that the Republicans have made
clean sweep. New York gives Harri
sen from 10000 to 1900 plurality, In
diana is claimed by both parties by
small majorities. and it may require
the official count in that State to de-
termine the result. California Ia all o
in doubt. With all the doubtful States
given to the Democrats we would still
be unable to elect, without the vote o'
New York.
While we acknowledge our defeat.
there is no reason for Democrats to BE-
ashamed of the fight the party hss
made. The campaign has been fought
upon the Tariff issue, and although the
decision is apparently against US ir'
this first general battle, the issue IL
not dead, and the Democratic party
has only to continue its efforts on the
side of the people against the monop
olists, to turn this defeat into victory.
