There arc two minute animals, usual
ly called insects, which produce gos-
samcr. Thcse ore the gossamor spiders,
and therefore, according TO the later 70
illogical classification, they arc not.
strictly speaking. insects, but form part
orachnida. Tho ascent OF the gossangcr
balloons mnde by these spiders only
takes place in bright, serene weather.
and Is invariably preceded by a produc-
ton Of sossa1ncr on the ground. When
iupclled By desire OF trauersing tho
air, tho gossazner spiders climb to tho
sumr2it Of various objects, and thence
emit the vicous threads In such man
nor os TINT they may be drawn out to o
greet length and fncncas, and when
sufficiently actcd upon by the ascending
current, they quit hold OF the objects on
which tlny rested and commence their
aerial flight by floating away, tive gos-
saaner actins exactly in The same way as
q balloon.
The threads Of gossalncr are so deli
cate chat o single one cannot be seen
unless tho sun shines on it. The Yiscid
fluid IS elected by the spider with great
force, becoming thread, and several
such threads arc produced at once IN II
rad.ating form, which facilitates tilcir
being caught by the current Of heated
cir and borne upward, carrying the
spider aions with them. The spider Is

extent, Of guiding in the air the balloon

DsVisadero Street Property Owners Fa-
vor the Omnibus Franchise.
The property-Ow on Devisadero street
met again last evening to consider the ad-
visibility Of assisting the Omnibus Street
Railroad Company in procuring franchise
for cable-road over that thuroughfare.
When the prOpeTty-Owners met week
ago they presented protest to the Super
visOrs against the granting of the franchise
would only extend a few blocks on Devlsa-
derO street, and would, in consequence, be
Of little or no benefit to the people living
along the street, and al the same time be a
bar to any other streetcar line running its
tracks over the roadway.
Since the meeting OF a week ago the fran
chise has been so amended as TO include the
whole of DeyisaderO street from its intersec-
tion with Ridley street to the bay. and, in
consequence, the proDerty-owners are now
heartily in favor Of granting the permission
to build the road.
Last night H. ". Miller occupied the
chair and {. Hlnkle acted as secretary.
Tie only business done was the declar-
alton, by unanimous vote OF the property
owners, that the franchise, "a amended, was
earnestly favored, and a committee con-

The Monterey, which lies al the Union
Iron Company'S wharf. Is deseTvedly an OO-
ject Of intense interest TO visitors at the
yard. She is belted ship and is sur-
rounded by nickel steel armor 13 inches
thick and impenetTable To all except the
heaviest ordnance. Her deck is only few
feet above the water line, but she can be
submerged to the line OF tile deck by filling
her 200 commitments with water.
Her protecting plates are all in place, with
but one eXceptiun-ihe last one being still
detained ut Homestead. Pa, the scene of
the present ironwOrkers' trouble. The ac-
cOmpanying cut gives but an imperfect view
Of the vessel when she will be complete
But one of the vertical towers is yet in
place, and the building of the one forward
is DELAYED on account of the nOn-arrival of

these towers are TO be placed the great 12-
inch bTe,ch- loading guns, which fire a shot
weighing $50 pounds distance OF - miles.
These Pinch guns are mounted upon
revolving and disappearing carriage, and
can be rapidly manipulated by the crew.
Besides the 12-lnch guns the armament
of the Monterey viii consist of TWO 10 inch
breech-loadng rifles, six 6-pOund rapid
firing guns. four HOtehkiss guns and two
I-pound rifles. All of the steering and
oueTating apparatus is worked by steam,
directed by the commander from the con-
ning-tower and ali light and air comes
from the deck-hatcbes. Which, in case of
action, are all Closed down and ventilation
secured by artificial means. The whole
manipulation of the vessel is complicated
in a high degree, AID the highest mechan-
ical and naval science is involved in her
construction.
The dimensions Of the Monterey have
been often given, but 10 repeat them she is
2J6 feet in length on the water line, with a
breadth of % feet. mean draught IA feet
inches, displacement 1900 tons; horse power
on ordinary dTaught is 5000 tons and forced
draught 800 tons, and she is expected 10
attain speed of l6 knots. Her contract
price was 81, 62S. $50.
1t was confidently expected that the Mon
teTey would have been completed several
mon hs ago and it is not the fault of her
contractors that she is not now fulfilling her
duties of defending the Pacific Coast. Sew
eral causes have deiayed her, changes in
her plans and others. but the principal de-
tentiOu has come from the Eastern con-
tractors who are to furnish her plates. The
Monterey is one of the most formidable
crafts in the world. and If the time for ac-
ton ever comes she will be capable OF fight
ing on nearly equal terms the greatest war
ships Of any rival nation. 1t will be at least
six months before the Monterey will be
finished.
