SAlLBOAT SPIDERS.
Tho Queer Discovery That Was Made b.
Careful Observer.

The Queer Discovery That Was Made b.
Careful Observer.
It was reserved for Or. McCook to dis
cover a mode of locomotion used by some
spiders, but previously unknown to natu-
ralists. When studying the habits of Ger
tain water spiders, he shook the branches
of q tree that stood by the waters edge III
order to procure specimens. A number of
spiders fell, and all travelled back to shore
in ways familiar to the doctor, with the
exception of one spider, which seemed to
move across the surface of the water with
out any motion of its legs.
When it approached the shore, the doe
tor placed it far cut on the pond again
and watched it more closely. In a few
moments it resumed its peculiar method Of
travelling and he saw positively that it did
not use its legs. How, then, did 10 cross
the water? The gentle breeze blowing
against its body could hardly have driven
it at the rate it was going, for that it was
moving along at fairly good pace was
evidenced by the little ripplets which
streaned out on either side of the circle of
rigid legs.
1t occurred to the doctor that perhaps
this little mariner was sailing under an
invisible sail. In other words, that per
haps the spider had let out g number of
silken threads as the aeronaut spiders do,
and that instead of carrying it through
the air, they caused it to skim rapidly over
the surface of the water
AS the curious little chap approached the
land again, the doctor held his cane on:
about two feet above the spider. In mo-
ment it came to a halt. The mystery was
solved, AS he had suspected the tiny
craft was really sailing under invisible
sails, and as they came into contact with
tie doctor ccne they adhered to it SO
ftHly tl;.t i,y q sudden movement of the
stich fhe spider was lifted clear out of the
water
It is just possible that y gossanlei
thread runs from the tip of each leg to the
one next it, thereby forming diminutivc
silken float for the spider to stand upon,
but or this there is no certainty. How
ever. we could hardly ask for anything
more wondoriUl than Il spider that is {
sailor, and his own sailboat, ard his
own saiina!1er, all in onc.-Our Anima}
