Do Spiders Hear?

Experiments recently made with q
Tuning fork have convinced Mr.. PocOcll,
an English naturalist, that some spiders
at least really hear the sound produced
by tho fork. Indeed the conduct of
spiders when vibrating tuning fork is
held near their webs is quito re1narka-
bic
Some species, as for instance, the
ordinary garden spider, Epeira diale-
nlata, will run at the fork and strike OF
snatch at it with their fore legs
The amaurobius, q spider which
builds tubular webs in holes in walls
runs about in great excitement when the
tuning fork is held near it. This spider
can be enticed out of it's hole by holding
the fork near the entrance and it Will
even climb upon the vibrating illsnu-
ment
Another species OF garden spider,
which is smaller and handsomcr than
the epcir.h always, according to Mr.
Pocock, drops from its web in ter1ur
when a tuning fork is held Over It
These spiders arc the prey Of wasIr, and
as they always drop from their webs on
the approach of their insect enemy it
has been suggested that they mistake
the sound of the tuning forl, for the
humming of IA vAsp's wings.
Bot some observers do not assent IN
thn conclusion that it is the sound Of
the fork which attracts the attention of
the spiders They think the vibration is
conveyed through the air to the webs
and that the Slight motion thus inpart-
cd is pcrceptible by the spiders =

A Clever Dog.

Scarcely anything is lacking i'll the
mental furniture of this psychological
dog to make him the equal Of baby 2
years old, except thinking III worI,S
and who Csn prove that he is destitute
of this faculty, although not possessing
articulate specchl Ono evening whilo I
was giving my plants drink he calno
to me several times asking me to have
the cato opened. Not caring to lay down
the hose, paid little hood 10 his toae-
ings, and he determined to compass his
purpose i'll another way. To the front
door he went and pressing it found it
not latchod, but rrSluiring some foro 10
throw it open. Then Me backed ont the
full width of tho vor,uld;s and running
throw his weight 50 violently against
tho door ms to drive 1t open. Very soon
he rcappeored with his mistress, to
whom he had malo his supplication, and
she, without knowing of his failure
with me, opened tho gate and gave tho
little fellow his coveted FREEDOM. 1t
should DO explained in rctesrl to the wit
shown i'll opening q heavy ur sticking
door that Toots acquired his experience
with n fly door closed by tho reaction of
spring BE found by experiments that
if with his fore paws he pressed this
door open just far enough TO emit his
body it would spring to and pinch his
TAIL and that by rotreating and running
tho whole length OF n small entry he
would impart momentum enough to
open the door wide and thus clear his
tail. ut the same time letting out de-
pendent companion. This act, | am in
clined to think, is a little smarter than
is usual in q 2-ycar-old child.-Popular

Tho Enrth.a T.,nprrntnrr.

One of the most learned of modern
biologists, Sir William Thomson, has
expressed the opinion that for the last
SO, 600, 900 years the rate of increase Of
the earth's temperature under ground
has gradually diminished from about
onc-tcnth TO about ono-tiftieth of de-
gree F. per foot. The present argument,
however, rs To the date of the consolidn-
ton Of the earth, based on the assu1np-
ton that the earth is simply cooling
globe, is met with serious objections,
one OF the most foriblc being that US
the qualification of the earth probably
began from the middle and spread to
the surface it is not only possible but
likely that after firm crust had been
formed the upper portion still rtainrd
some degree of viScosity. If, then, the
interior be viscouS some tidal oscilla-
tions must take place in it, and these
being subject to friction heat must be
generated i'll the viscous portion, and
the dlurnal rotation of the Garth must
be retarded According TO the supposi-
ton of an eminent scicntist-yiZ that
1t Is only those strata which are
within some hundreds of milo. of the
surface which are Vicious while the
central portion is igid-thcn, when
tidal friction does its work, tho same
amount of heat is generated iAs OH the
hypothesis of the viscot,ity of the entire
planet, but instead of being distributed
throughout the whole mass and princi-
pally toward the middle, it is now TO be
found i'll the more superficial layers =

Rewriting to the duties Of whip and
patronage secretary, it is an astonishing
fact that gentlemen of birth and social
position can be found to fill the post.
The Junior whips duties are not only
oncrous, but irlisome, They sit or stand
i'll the outer lobby of the house from half
past to half past 10 at night, and they
ask every member who passes where he
Is going whether he is paired and when
he will be back. If he is not paired
they have either to find pair for him
or to prevent him from passing ont by
coaXlng or threats, the former for pref
erence. When their party are in, these
gentlemen have to attend their Office
from IL TO 3, Their hours Of duty are,
therefore, from l a m to IL p. NJ, or
IL hours, with intervals for lunch and
dinner, and this they do for FL, 900 a
year. When their party Is out they do
it, minus their office work, for nothing.
In addition to keeping al eye on his
Juniors, the chief whip. who has f2, 900
o year, deals with the members OH their
more touchy side 1t is he who practical
ly distributes ribbons and titles and sees
that cards of invitation arc sent to this
man and that; that no one is given I'M
due preference, a delicate duty which re-
quires much tact and skill. Mr.. Tom
Ellis Is popular, and that goes great
way. He has tact, and that goes further
AT present he lacks experience. but that
will ome.-Cardiff Mail

Removing Glass Shoppers.

Sometimes it is ~ery difficult to re-
move glass stopper from bottle. A
cloth wet in hot water generally is
sufficient. but if this fails, remember
the principle is to expand the neck of
the bottle by heat and not the stopper.
With hot water the latter is often heat
ed equally with the neck, and thus the
desired effect is not produced. By hold
ing the neck of the bottle about half an
inch above the flame of lamp or can
die, however, in a few seconds the most
obstinate cork will generally come out.
Care must be taken to turn the bottle
rapidly and not allow the flames to
touch the glass, as it might crack it.
When the glass is thoroughly heated, a
steady pull and twist will almost al
ways bring out the opper.-Exchange.
