Not only do they differ in size but In

the air out of doors, some in the corners
of old building, some in the ground,
and some on the water There does
not seem 20 be any variety yet found
which inhabits fire, but perhaps some
may be discovered. The giant of the
spider family, the great crab spider,
lives principally IN South America.
This specimen Is from two and one
half TO three inches long. Their legs
nre at least five inches long. Most
spiders live upon flies and very small
insects But the crab spider is very
bold and pugnacious, and win attack
any creature, not only his own size but
even larger, with the intent TO make a
dinner of his enemy. Small birds, liz
ards and other little creatures are
just the kind Of supplies which suit his
taste and supply his larder.

meals. At this time, when all little

A French dramatic critic, with some

his charge, the customary theatrical
death OF Camille, In the younger Du-
