Spia That Catch Birds.

W. j. Rainbow, an Australian
naturalist, gives a description Of
the large bird-entrapping spiders
Of this country. Representatives
Of this genus abound in tropical
and subtropical regions. Their
webs are composed of two kinds of
silk-one yellow, exceedingly
viscid and elastic; the other white,
dry and somewhat brittle. The
latter is used for the framework
of the web, the guys and radii,
and the former for the concentric
rings. These SHARES are at varied
heights, sometimes within reach,
again ten to twelve feet from the
ground, but always in a position
exposed to the rays Of the sun.
The diameter is also variable, from
three feet upward. One seen by
Giraffe in the FIJI islands constructs
a web thirty feet in diameters.
These snares are strong enough to
entrap small birds. In the auth
or's opinion the web is not set for
such game, and the spider does not
feed on her pathological victim. In
the case where she has been obser-
we'd with her fangs in the body OF
the ensnared bird, it is probable
that it is for the purpose of hasten
ing the death Of the bird In order
to prevent it's injuring the web in
it's struggles to escape. Spiders
of the genus Nephila are easily
tanned. Although exceedingly vo-
racious, they can exist for many
days without food or water.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
