Spiders That Catch Birds.

w. j. Rainbow, an Australian natur-
alist, gives a description of the large
bird-en;rapping spiders of his country.
Representatives of this genus abound
in tropical and s~ubtropical regions.
Their webs are composed of two kinds
OF si'k-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 coz
centric rings. These snarer sre at
varied heights, sometimes within reich
again ten to twelve feet from the
ground, but always in a position ex-
posed to the rays of the sun. The diam
eter is also variable, from three feet
upward. One seen by Giraffe in the Fiji
Islands constructs a web thirty feet in
diameter. These snares are strong
enough to entrap small birds. In the
authors opinion the web is not set for
such game, and the spider does not feed
on her ornithological victim. In the
case where she has been observed with
her fangs In the body of the ensnarad
oird' 1t is probable that it is for the
purpose OF Fastening the death of the
Dlru In order tc prevent its ~iniurine the

They are resping the benefit of America's folly. Never before in their history have they been so prosperous. Cap ital which formerly shunnsd Mexico is now seeking Mexican investment. The cause of this transformation IS plain. The Mexicsns are on . silver basis. According to the eingle g' Id standard their money is worth just 5O cents on the dollar. It requires two Mexican dollars to bs worth one Americas dollars. At first glance this seems like strong goldbug argument, but when you stop to consider that Mexican money is good in Mexico i; that the Mexican dollar answers all purposes ct home an1 that the peo
 pie of Mexico are perfectly satis6sd with it, the subject sssumes . very different phase. In other werds, the Mexican manufscturer does with . Jo-csnt dollar what requires 100 cent dollar iu America. As Q result the American manufacturer has lost the Mexican mark t and the Mexican manufacturer is driving his Amencsn rival out ot the silvsr-using countries where the single gold standard stands aS barrier between American labor. ThisfaoA is impressing itself upon the minds of the people of New England. The eastern msn ufsctuTeris gradually discovering that the single gold stsn- ssTdi, noi whalit is cFacksj up to be.
