Whatever relief free labor in Tennessee is

that the constitution of the State
and Of the United States prohib-
tied legislative impairment of a con-
tract. tits fact, however, that the large

ton on constitutional grounds are of the
opinion that the State cannot afford to lose
the 100000 per annum received from the
penitentiary lessees.

A Spiders Rapid Work.

When the common geometrical spider
has made up its mind to spin a web, it
commences operations byinclosing a 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
radii 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 tho web,
however, the first few c%oncentric 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, a task
which often does not occupy moro 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 a special thread. This, by
its trembling, gives intimation of the
capture of any insect in the web, and
also forms a pathway by which the
snugly ensconced spider is enabled to
proceed on an investigating expedition.
