a Good Advertising Medium. 8:
"a glance In an Atlanta book store
yesterday made this striking truth
stand forth:
Death is sometimes a big advertise
ment.
In NO department of human effort do
men put forth such terrific energy az
in their attempts to catch the public
eye. Men rack their brain for ingeni-
Gus schemes to attract public attention.
The good advertiser is the rarest and
richest of successes.
But some times all the cleverness
and ingenuity Of these brain workers
are beaten-aud Unexpectedly.

He Makes His 1AviAg ~ 1acling tn
Bleed FTSsh 9aall 0irtin.
. One Of the residents Of ths.junsles Of
South America Ii q huge, hairy bandit
that makes its living by killing and
sucking the blood from all kinds OF
small birds. a collector who was
down there recently had q startling ad-
venture In capturing one Of these for
ct robbers. He was looking one day
Tor q new kind Of hummingbird when q
fiuttering and faint cheeping close By
his side attracted his attention. A
small hollow tree was near him, with
an opening In the side about eight
inches across, and spread over this
was a dense white web. The upper
part OF the web was broken q little
and securely fastened In it was q dead
hummingbird of the very kind the ex-
plorer was seeking. 1t had been dead
but a little while, it seemed, for its
head hung limp and motionless. Near
the bottom Of the web q small gray
bird was entangled-a tomtit spending
its winter among the tropics only to
meet such fate as this. Its wild
flutterings had entangled 1t more and
more, but the huge gray monster, back
In the dark, evidently fearing that its
prey would escape, had waited its OPP
portunity, and just as the traveller
looked around 1t sprung full upon the
poor birds breast, clasped its hairy
arms around the little huttering body,
and buried It's horrible fangs In the
tender breast. "A.
For an instant the observer stood still,
too much startled to move, while the
little head Of the bird dropped help
lessly and 1t ceased to struggle; then,
recovering himself, he hastily prepared
his chloroform and brought 1t gradu-
ally near. So intent was the creature
ON holding the bird until it was. quite
dead that 1t did not attempt to escape.
Its legs relaxed a little presently, but
it's fangs remained buried In the bird 9
throQt, and so 1t died and was caught.
He had the sections of the trunk care
fully cut above and below the opening,
and that section stands in his cabinet
now, the strong white web, the two
poor little withered birds entangled in
1t, and the great hairy spider still
clinging to the breast of one, it's fangs
never releasing their hold, even In
death. This hairy monster is known
as the Mygale avicularia. Its body Is
two inches long and it's great legs cover
an expanse of seven inches. It has
terrible fangs folded under its head,
and when in pursuit Of prey or angered
It. will leap great distances and sink
these fangs in the object Of its attack.
