SPIDERS AT CLOSE QUARTERS

They Use the Threads in Their Webs
Like So Many telegraph Wires.
In 8 paper in Longnian's Magazine
Grant Allen gives the result OF some
personal observations OF the COM
mon garden spider. Last summer
two OF these creatures, both females,
spun their geometrieal webs outside
Mr.. Aliens window, and he prevailed
upon the housemaId, though with
some difficulty, toleave the webs alone.
What struck Mr.. Allen most forcibly
was the barbaric bloodthirstines OF
the spiders. One of them even de-
voured the male companion. But to
see the fercer Of the two destroy a
wasp was sight to behold. Mr.. ALL
en- grows eloquent OH the business like
fashion in which the wasp was rolled
round and round and swathed rapid
~ and efectually in q dense network
Of web, the spider meanwhile, taught
by ancestral experience, keeping out
OF the way OF the Wasps sting. Some
times the wings were sawn off to pre-
vent further struggling and conse-
quent damage to the precious web.
| The blood Of the insect was then suck
ed to the last drop.
Large humble bees the spiders seem
afraid to encounter, but humming bird
| moths, in spite OF theip size and quick
ness, would be killed Immediately.
| Mr.. Allen thinks the spiders did not
trust to their many eyes to tell them
! when catch had been made, but
kept one foot on a particular thread
of the web, which thus became
| a kind of telegraph wire. One might
ask how there could be any certainty
| that the eyes were not used, but the
minuteness of Mr.. Aliens observation
can be judged by his positive asser-
ton that ecould tell when one Of the
spiders was smiling.

collection shown there, the exhibit at
the Paris Conservatory; and is now
negotiating for the famous Steiner
collection in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition at Washington, which contains
specimens Of nearly every instrument
known. Mr.. Wilson is corresponding
with many antiquarians interested in
the evolution Of musical instruments.
That his task is gigantic is demon
strated by the fact that much doubt
exists as to what the first instrument
was, and the multitude of different
ones that seem, theoretically, to have
been the first invented.
It is unanimously agreed upon by
antiquarians that the first known
instruments were those of percussion,
the untutored ear being quicker to
perceive rhythmical accumulation
than variations OF pitch. From this

belongs to the same class, and are
described as inserted in the
shoes OF the performer, used by
Grecian fute -players probably to beat
time. The cynbals to be exhibited
at the Fair will comprise specimens in
the original, and repro ductions of
those used in the Bacchic orgies at
Rome, and in the worship OF. Cybele
and Juno in Greece. One pair ofthese
instruments was Drought from Etruria
by the Trojans, and was found in the
excavating OF rculaneum
Under this head the systrum also
belongs, it being q my sticaI instrument

OF Isis, and also supposed to have
been used to call together troops, as
is the modern kettle drnm. The sys-
trum is obsolete. Probably the one

very exhaustive. 1t includes in
struments from all the nations OF
ancient history, and was gathered
from the various museums of France,
Germany and England for the Wien
exposition.
AS date and order of the invention
OF these instruments is purely a matt-
ter Of conjecture, reproductions of
many have been rendered necessary
for the purpose of completing an ex-
hibit, and will bemade from the most
authentic sources obtainable.
BACK TO THE FIRST MAN.
This collection goes back to the first
mention OF musical instruments. as
found in the fourth cnapter ofGenesis:
Jubal, he was the father of all such
as handle the harp or organ Genesis,
w., 2l.
The phraseology of this sentence
does not indicate the order of time in
which the harp or organ was invented.
The harp mentioned is probably syn
onymous with the Tyre, or lyra, which
is acknowledged to be Of Asiatic in
vention
Tubal's ssorgan" must be clearly AL
lied to the syrinx, the invention of
which and the theory of wind instru-
ments are described by Ovid
Many specimens Of Hebrew, Assy-
rian and Egyptian handiwork will be
shown at the Fair. This portion of
thecollection will be particularly large
and certainly of great interest.
The British collection which is to be
brought to the Fair contains speci-
mems Of violins and other Instruments
OF that family from the rebec to the
most noted productions OF the Gre
mona artisans who hourished in the
seventeenth century. The rebec was
undoubtedly the parent OF viol
and violin, also of the once fashion
able but now absolete viol-de-gamba.
The latter day violnocello is the of
spring OF the gambia.
The rebec is the originator OF all this
class OF Instruments, and is said to
be of Arabic origin. In general form
it resembles the mandolin. It had
three strings and emitted a sound
both loud and harsh. 1t was chiefly
used, however, in orchestral accom-
paniments to dancing. ..

DARKNESS AND LIGHT.

.Anight bird flew into my heart
And built its nest,
And every leaf and tWig it brought
Weighed in my breast
With leaden weight. till my full heart
Could bear no more;
Then in my hour of woe wind
Blew from heavens shore.
1T cooled my heated heart and drew
The nest away,
SO oft darkest night full oft
Comes brightest day.
And with thywind another bird
Came to ME breast;
"A nest of softest down it built,
And there took rest
Up to the unseen walls it scars
The whole day long;
AT night returning fills my soul
With light and song.

G. Webster, an American newspaper
correspondent, had an experience at the
crater Of Kilauea a few weeks ago which
might have cost him his life, but which
luckily allowed him to escape with only
few burns and bruises. He accom-
plished feat never before done by any
tourist and by only few native guides,
that of going down to the surface of the
crater and getting specimens of the fiery
lava. This he succeeded in doing in
company with a guide, and twice came
near falling into the abyss on account Of
being overcome with the sulphuric gas
of the crater. The guide saved him both
times, though not without having suf-
fered some bruises.

A big yearling bear was killed on Fri
day ON Little mountain, near Parkers-
burg, W. Va, by John Hall, seventeen
years old. and Mont Black, twelve years

bear. They had an old single barrele6
shotgun, loaded with bird shot and an
ak. They fired the load of shot into the
bear and brought the animal down
Then the dogs attacked it, but they were
beaten off. One of the boys ran in and
struck at the bear with the ak. but die
not hit it. Young Hall then drew biz
