A Spiders Rapid Work.

When the common geometrical spider
has made up its mind to spin web, it
commences operations by inclosing GER
tain area with the foundation lines. To
these radiating lines are fixed, generally
about thirty In number, and all joining
in the center of the snare. When the
radn are finished the spinner proceeds
to weave the concentric lines, stretching
them from one radiating thread to an
other, and forming them Of the silk
thickly studded with viscous drops.
Starting from the center Of the web,
however, the first few concentric' threads
are without this popularity, the reason
being that the spider likes to sometimes
sit in the middle Of its web, and natural
ly does not care to be incommoded with
the sticky matter which it prepares for
the special benefit Of its prey.
When the snare is finished, task
which often does not occupy more than
forty minutes in spite Of the complicated
nature of the work, the spider weaves a
cell in some secluded spot close at hand,
connecting it with the center of the web
by means of special thread. This, by
its trembling, gives intimation Of the
capture of any insect in the web, and
also forms pathway by which the
snugiy ensconced spider is enabled to
proceed on an investigating expedition.

THOMSON AND HIS RATS.

Was Going to Have Fun Seeing Them
Swim, but They Saw Him Swim Instead.
The question is frequently asked
whence the name of Thomson pond,
sheet of water in western Maine extend
Ing through four towns and lying part
ly in three counties. Tradition says it
was named from the first settler, Joe
Thomson. During his sojourn he was
seriously troubled by rats. He first pro-
vided himself with a stout leather bag
of the capacity Of four bushels. He then
placed an empty hogshead in his log
howell, leaving the bunghole open,
through which he dropped a small guam
tity of meat scraps and crumbs
Bag in hand he retired outside to
watch proceedings, peeking through a
small crevice between the logs. Pres
entity he espied an old, gray veteran ap-
preaching the bunghole. He takes a
peep, then shifts, looks cautiously about
and then enters. He soon energies from
the hogshead and quickly disappears.
In q trice he returns, followed by q
drove amounting to hundreds, which one
by one disappear through the bunghole.
Now" chuckled ice, sis my fun," as
he skipped calmly through the door and
adjusted the open mouth Of the bag to
the small aperture, ct the same time rap
ping the hogshead with the toe Of his
boot, which produced loud, ringing
sound. With loud squeals and fierce
struggles the frightened rats began to
scramble through the bunghole, all land
ing in the bottom Of the bag.
His first thought was to drown them
by sinking the bag in the pond, but be-
ing in rather gamesome mood, as was
often the case, he concluded to put the
bag in his boat, and after rowing to a
good distance from the shore then release
them, and with his OK goad have good
time knocking them in the head.
Rowing out several rods from the
shore and being in high glee at the
thought of wreaEing vengeance on the
"varmints' which had given 30 much
trouble, he without hesitation united the
bag. expecting to see the frightened crea-
lures at once leap into the water, bat he
quickly found himself mistaken.
Instead of fleeing or even retreating
the rats charged in body, and with
teeth and claws SO severely liberated his
face, neck and hands as to canse him to
leap from the boat and swim for the
shore, leaving the craft in the possession
of his one time victims-LewntouJ Jour

The Sense of Smell.

The eye is used only for seeing, and
the ear for hearing, but the nose is one
Of the organs that serve double pur-
pose. 1t is not only the seat of the
sense of smell, but was intended to be
the principal organ through which man
should breathe. Its circuitous passages,
warm and moist, protect the lungs by
taking the chill from the inspired air
and arresting irritating dust
The whole nose is not concerned in
the act of smelling. The olfactory
nerves, which alone take cognizance of
odors, are situated in the upper third of
the nasal chambers, out of the line of
ordinary inhalation. For this reason we
do not usually notice odors unless they
are somewhat strong; but when we sniff
draw the air into the upper part Of
the nostrils and hold it there for a few
momentstwe become aware of the faint
est scent.-Youth's Companion.

Swift Piiian Sailing Craft,

We saw to windward a native boat
bearing down upon US under full stress
Of sail. A Fjian boat is made Of hol-
lowed cocoanut log, sharpened at both
ends. About ten feet on one side Of il
is placed long and slender log Of lighter
wood, both parts Of the craft being at
once connected by and supporting a
raised platform of bamboo Such a
boat floats on the water like cork, and
offers no more resistance than q racing
shell. A mast set in the center of the
platform supports a triangular sail OF
mating, with the base of the figure up
most. A very top heavy effect is thus
produced, but nothing can overturn the
light vessel owing to the breadth of its
base, and it flies through the water like
the wind.
The catamaran that pursued us easily
kept up with the launch, although we
drove it at full speed to keep ahead, and
with the huge, misshapen mat sail flap
ping and rolling like great bats wing
as the boat thrashed through the pillows,
and sent showers Of spray over the glis.
tening bodies Of the dozen natives who
stood or squatted upon the deck, the pict-
ure was something fascinatingly strange
and barbaric and never to be forgotten
When the boat was near us our launch
ran under jutting point, where thickly
clustered palms cut off the wind, and the
catamaran becoming becalmed got out
oars and turned in for the shore.-Cor
