or amusement. Really, l fancied
myself on the verge of great discov-
cry. Why might not a most beautiful
fabric be made of that glistening ma
terial? Who could tell what might
come of it?
So managed to get hold of the end
of the strand, and began to draw it out.
Now if there is anything that spider
particularly detests it is to be robbed
of his silk; no pacll-peddler values his
stock half so highly. AS soon, there
fore, as my victim perceived what was
at, he reached back with a claw and
shipped the thread. This was repeated
several times.
Then saw that must devise some
means for preventing this sort of in
reference. So 1 cut a small round
hole in a bit of cardboard, and made
slit from the hole to the edge-see cut.
This arrangement slipped about my
spiders wasp-like waist. AS his legs
were on one side of the card and his alb
domcn with the spinners on the other,
he could no longer NEEDLE with the
thread; neither could he get out of the
sort ofpilIoryin which had placed him.
He wasn't hurt in the least, but he was
altogether helpless and in the worst of
humors. Then got hold of the strand
with a pair of tweezers and proceeded
to draw out as much silk as I pleased,
winding it about my finger.
But this process was slow, and did
not satisfy me. 1 wanted spiders silk
in bulk; my head was full of schemes
for producing a new and beautiful fab
ric from this bright and elastic ma
terial. 1 therefore mounted a spool
upon a spindle in such way that l
could make it rotate with great speed
by means of a band running from
wheel-about eight inches in diameter
which l turned with a crank. To
this spool l attached the end Of the
thread, and set my machine in motion.
1t was a great success. The spindle
sang like humming-top as it spun
on its bearings, Keeling his precious
silk from that disguised spider until
the glistening thread covered the spool
as with a sheet of varnish. An angrier
insect, 1 fancy, never lived; but what
could he do about it? And afterwards
1 fed him well by way of compensation.
Thus far my plans had worked to
perfection; but when endeayored TO

Usual Spring Fruit Destroyer.

TOPEKA, Kas., March "a
severe blizzard has been sweeping
over Kansas for the past six hours.
On the Rock Islands Colorado
lines II inches of snow are report
ed and the storm is moving east at
the rate of 40 miles an hour.
Stockmen say the storm will be
severe on the thousands of stock
on the plains and great apprehen-
sion is felt for the fruit crop,
as the recent fortnight of warm
spring weather has brought out
buds and in Southern Kansas
the leaves on the trees have begun
to make their appearance.

ROBBING A SPIDER.
A Simple Device for Keeling Out the Web
from Its Spinners.


This is written for boys only. Girls,
of course, wouldn't touch the nasty
things-not for anything. Unless, in
deed, there is new" girl, too; and I
rather hope there isn't for am such
an old boy now that don't like innova-
tons. The old girls-that is, the sort
of girls used to know-seem to me
hardly to admit of improvement. And
they just hated spiders. But was
boy, and to me big, fat. sprawly
spider was one of the most interesting
things in nature.
One day was watching a fine large
specimen completing his web. The
stay-ropes were already stretched
across the open window; and begin
ming where they crossed he was hob
bling round and round fastening the
cross-lines of fresh shiny silk.
Suddenly it occurred to me that /
might reel out that silk for my own use

of them too crueI, as 1 now reaIIze, Out
! was quite unconscious of it then. For
example, 1 often waited flies against q
large fresh web, and in this way 1
presently discovered that the ordinary
spider, though he has eyes with num-
berless facets, is really almost blind.
He does not trust to sight at all. he
stands waiting at the center of his web,
his feet clutching the strands. When
fly strikes against the meshes the
spider gives the whole fabric a sharp
shake. If the fly remains still the
owner of the web seems unable to To-
cate him, but if he buzzes or struggles
Mr.. Spider is down on him in an in
slant, and hastily incasing him in q
winding sheet of silk, bears him back
and hangs him up to be devoured at
leisure.
Once, 1 remember, 1 presided at an
encounter between spider and bum
bic bee. The bee, of course, buZzed
loudly. The spider rushed upon him,
was stung, and hastily withdrew. Again
the bee buzzed, and again the spider,
unable to resist his instinct, rushed to
the attacl1-with the same result. At
last, however, the spider managed to
get his silken shroud about his for
midable prey, and bore him off in tri-
umph.
He was not so fortunate, however,
with large, black ant which l treach-
crously dropped upon his web. The
ant began to struggle, and down came
the spider; whereupon the ant coolly
bit off one of his legs. The spider with
drew in dismay. But being a ravenous
old fellow of great size, the destroyer
of unnumbered flies, he could not for
bear a second attack. He strained his
mandibles without effect on the hard
armor of the ant, who meanwhile
nipped off another leg.
In the third attack the ant began to
operate on his enemy's abdomen; and
the spider, escaping with difficulty, re-
treated utterly discounted. Then the
ant proceeded to break the meshes, and
fell unframed to the floor. Thus were
the flies avenged. c. KAY.

DELICATE SPECIES OF SPONGE.
Some of the Fungi Are of Rare Beauty
and Fantastic Shapes.

and Fantastic Shapes.
Sponges of the common sorts are so
we'll known that people long since
ceased to admire their curious and in
teresting structure. There are some
rare species of sponges, however, says
the st. Louis Republic, such as the
"glass," "lace" and tapestry" sponges,
that are so exceedingly beautiful that
the presence of such a specimen never
fails to excite expressions of admira-
ton. The delicate "Venus flower bas-
ket" belongs to the family of glass
sponges, and is rightly regarded as a
wonder by all who have had the priv
ilege of owning or viewing them. This
curious flower basket" is found in
the deep sea near the Philippine islands
and in no other place in the world in
numbers sufficient to make fishing for
them a profitable industry. This spe-
cies of sponges looks like delicate
threads of glass woven into a curious,
beautiful and intricate pattern, some
specimens being of such exquisite love-
illness that one can scarcely believe
that it is simply the skeleton of va
riety of sponge. This sponge is com
posed of an immense aggregation of
minute "spicules," running lengthwise
from end to end, with numerous cross
bands at right angles. These bands
and cross bands are set with numerous
five, six, nine and twelve pointed spic-
ules, some of them filled with dozens
of holes, which can only be seen with
microscope, because they are so ex-
coedingly fine.

ODD USE FOR RATskINS.
An Englishman Who Had Suit of
Clothing Made Out of Them.

clothing Made Out or Them.
It is generally supposed that rat
skins are used in glovemabing, but
the skin is too thin and fragile; the
thing has been done once or twice, as
in making silk from spiders webs, but
more as curiosity than an article of
trade. In an old newspaper we read
says the Washington Budget, that IAN
ingenious individual of Liskeard, Corn
wall, has for some time past been ex-
hibiting himself in a dress composed
from top to toe of ratskins which he
has been collecting for three years; it
consists of hat, neckerchief, coat,
waistcoat, trousers, tippet, CATERS and
shoes. The number of rats required
to complete the suit was go, and the
individual, when thus dressed, appears
exactly like one of the Esquimaux de-
scribed in the travels of Parry and
Ross. The tippet, or boa, is composed
of the pieces of skin Immediately round
the tails of the rats, and is q very Curl
Gus part of the dress, containing about
900 tails, and those none of the shortest"
Several thousand ratskins were at
one time imported from France, but
our manufacturers found them too
small and too fine in texture. 1t is
not to be supposed, however, that rats
are useless; though they look so clean
and sleek, they destroy for us an i'm
mense quantity of offal which would
otherwise be very dangerous to health.
Yet there are few animals so generally
unpopular as the rat. The dislike is
not reciprocated, for whatever man set
ties there appears, as if by magic, a rat.
There were thousands in the camp be-
fore Sebastopol, and a rat hunt in the
trenches was one of the few diversions
the campaign afforded.
