The Bird Catcher

it's food was flies, grasshoppers ana To-
Gusts. 1t shed its skin several times, and
at last died during the process.
The Bird Catcher
The bird-catohing spider is quite mon
ster to look at. Its body, about three
inches long, and Its legs reaching eight or
ten inches are covered all over with coarse
hairs. Its nest is similer to that of the
tarantula "a little tunnel lined with white
satin of its own weaving Here 1t lies in
wait for its prey, and Is powerful enough
to pounce upon and kill small birds. A
traveller in South America saw one Of
these spiders, and desiring to take spec
linen home with him, asked some Indian
Children to catch one. Next day he saw
them coming with one. They had tied a
string around its body and were leading it
olong like dog.
Their Silk
At one time 1t was thought that the silk
of certain spiders could be utilized. A
species found on the sea islands off the
coast of South Carolina is about one inch
long, with legs spreading four inches. She
builds strong webs three or four feet in
diameter and eight or ten feet from the
with a contrivance that will prevent her

Other Varieties
The water spider builds a nest like a
diving bell beneath the surface of the
water, and carries down a supply of fresh
air with her furry body to her submarine
dwelling. When she wishes a fresh sup
ply of air she rises to the surface and fills
her little air sac and again descends, re-
turning for more air every fifteen or twenty
minutes.
Another spider glides over the surface
of the water as you would glide over a
smooth floor. Its feet make slight dimples
In the surface of the water, but are so del
icately constructed that they do not pene-
trate through the film which encloses the
exposed surface of all bodies of water.

Regarding the many eyes of the spider,
is 1t not possible that they serve various
purposes? Perhaps some of them are
adapted TO see In the dark while others art
better suited to daylight vision. Then

another pair may be used for discerning
more remote objects. II Is a fascinating

On the front of the head is a pair OF
sharp, crooked claws, or forceps, which
stand opposite each other horizontally, and
which when not in use fold up ike a-tlasp-

called mandlbles, and at the same time
presses a minute drop of poison into the
wound, paralyzing its victim and render
