The Largest Spider.

Ceylon Is the home Of the largest
species Of spider that has yet been
made the subject of chronological in
vestigation. This web-spinning mon
ster lives In the most mountainous
districts Of that rugged island, and
places his trap-Dot a gossamer snare
of airy lightness, but a huge net Of
yellow silk from five to ten feet In
diameter-across the chasms and fis-
sures in the rocks. The supporting
guys of this gigantic net, which is al
most strong enough for a hammock,
are from five to twenty feet in length,
as conditions may require, and made
Of a series of twisted webs, the whole
being of the diameter of a lead pencil.
The gigantic silken trap is not set for
mosquitoes, flies and pestiferous
gnats, but for birds, gaUdy moths and
elegantly painted butterflies, some of
the latter having a spread OF wing
equal to that of a robin or blue jay.
Some extra fine skeletons of small
birds. lizards aud spakeS have been
found in these webs. The spiders
body is four and a half inches in
width and six in length.-Orphan's

called during the day, he mentioned
the lady's sister, when his mistress
exclaimed: II told you, man, that !
was always at home for my sister!

Next day the lady went out to make
4 few calls, and during her absence
her sister came to the house.

The lady went up stairs and looked
everywhere for her sister. On coming
