YOU must imagine hollow tube in the

lance down till it is like the letter Y.
One top of the is the opening the other
does not come quite to the surface, but
forms a blind alley. AT the opening is
lid with a silken hinge, which our friend
the spider generally keeps prudently closed.
Suppose that an enemy discovers this door
and endeavors to open it. The spider, lay
ing hold of the door on the inside with her
strong claws, holds it tight. 1t may be
that this rebuff proves sufficient and the
assailant goes somewhere else in search of
u dinner. But if the spider finds herself
overmatched she wisely abandons this de-
Tense and rushes down the tube.
Just at the fork OF the Y she has an in
ner stronghold. To this she now betakes
herself, closing it and holding the door
tight, as before. Again struggle takes
place. and there is chance that the ad
versary may retire. But if thoSpider finds
her foe too strong she is still provided
with resource. She makes strategical
movement which rarely fails of attaining
its purpose. Suddenly rushing into the
blind alley, she draws the door over the
opening, thus hiding every sign of it.
There she lies, comfortably concealed,
enjoying the confusion of her enemy.
