Ambassador HaY Protests.

London, June 6.-The United
States ambassador, Col. John Hay,
called at the foreign Office today
and presented evidence of Spanish
officials of making Canada the base
of operations, and protested against
a continuance of this practice. The
protest is based upon the fact that
1t would be a breach of neutrality
for Great Britain to permit her ter
ritory to be used for such hostile
purposes. Col. Hay also recently
drew the attention of the foreign
Office to small expectations from
Great Britain of war munitions for
Spain.

MoULTING OF A TARANTULA.
An Interesting sight TO Nnturniists
How the Large spider pcr-
forms the Operation.

An event OF more than ordinary IN
terest occurred in my office the other
day. A large female tarantula shed
its skin for the second time since il has
been in captivity. Those familiar with
insects, spiders and related creatures
are aware that they are encased by a
hard. unyielding gintegument. Increase
of size is permissible only when the old
skin is shed and one that has been
newly formed beneath expands to the
requisite degree. This is process
constantly occurring in nature, and
ever excites interest I'm the beholder.
When a large spider three inches long
throws off the old integument, II IS a
thrilling sight.
In the present case the tarantula
had evidently been feeling IN for some
days, a condition frequently preceding
this process among insects, and the
other day she was found lying on her
back and apparently dead. but moved
little upon being disturbed. She lay
thus until quarter past twelve, when
the rustling her movements made eN-
cited attention. The old skin had then
ruptured around the thorax in such q
manner that.the top could be removed
entire, and through this opening the
giant spider was literally working ont
of her old skin. This was accomplished
by the aid OF eight legs and the two
leglike palpi At the end of an hour
the change had been effected. The
spider lay upon her back beside the
perfect skin, resting from the severe
exertiou.
This tarantula was unusually large
before she moulted. and is now of still
greater size. She came north in q
bunch of bananas about two and q
half years ago. and until last January
