Tho Spiders IF India.

Far up in the me lntains of Ceylon
and India there is spider that spins
web like bright. yelloWish silk, the CEN
tral net of which is five feet in diameter,
while the supporting lines or guys, as
they are called, measure sometimes ten
or twelve feet; and riding quickly in
the early morning you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining around
your face like veil, while, as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right on the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant If you forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite he
will. and, though not venomous, his
jaws are as powerful as a birds beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-
counter. The bodies of these spiders
are very handsomely decorated being
bright gold or scarlet underneath while
the upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur So strong are
the webs that birds the size of Iarks are
frequently caught therein. and even the
small but powerful scaly lizard falls a
victim. writer says that he has often
sat and watched the yellow monster
measuring, when waiting for his prey
with his legs stretched out, fully SIX
inches -striding across the middle of the
net, and noted the rapid manner in
which he winds his stout threads around
the unfortunate captive He usually
throws the coils about the head till the
wretched victim is first blinded and
then choked. In many unfrequented
dark hooks of the jungle you come across
most perfect skeletons of small birds
caught in these terrible snares. the
strong folds of which prevent the deli
cate bones from falling to the ground
after the wind and weather have dis
persed the flesh and feathers.-Ex-
change
