TRAP-DOOR

And Others That Show They Have
Intelligence.
Another curious species is that Of
the trap-door spiders, whose nest con-
sists of a tube excavated in the earth
to the depth Of six or eight inches. 1t
is always lined with silk and it is
closed with an ingeniously constructed
door. One sort of door closes into the
nest like a cork in a bottle; another is
as thin as a piece of paper. In all
cases the door opens outward, and
when the nest is placed, as it usually
is, on a sloping bank, it opens upward,
SO that there is no fear of it's gaping.
The object of the trapdoor is to con
ceal the nest, and consequently it is
always made to resemble the general
surface of the ground. Sometimes,
however, an enemy attempts to open
the door; and then the inmate braces
it's legs against the sides of the nest
and holds it as fast as possible. Still
other spiders have inner doors besides
the outer, so that if their first defense
be carried, they may have another be-
hind which to retreat. More curious
still is the ingenuity of the branch
trap door-that is to say, a door that
opens from the main tunnel of the
nest into a side branch, which the
spider knows, of course, but which no
stranger could discover, since there is
nothing to distinguish it from any part
of the main nest. So, then, if an en-
envy should effect an entrance, the law
ful occupant of the nest can quietly
slip into the side branch, close to the
door, and there remain in security
while the intruder wonders what has
become of her. If all these wonderful
things are done by instinct, have we
any proof whatever of individual in
telligence among spiders? Most as
suredly. If we remember that intelli-
gence is proved whenever we observe
a manifest application of means appro-
pirate to the accomplishment of par
ticular ends, it is hardly possible to
deny that there is some evidence of the
intelligence of spiders. Many instances
have occurred more OF less like the
following: Zone of my friends was
accustomed to grant shelter to a num-
her OF garden spiders under a large
~veranda, and to watch their habits.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-08-10

It was evident that he was rather
nervous, and she enjoyed it. When
matters reach a point where a girl is
satisfied that she can land her fish at
any time, she rather likes to play with
him a little.
After several absurd bluffs" he mus
tered up sufficient courage to occupy
half the settee with her, but, somehow,
he didn't seem to be able to keep his
eyes off the door.
"Why, you know what a little bit of
a man papa isl" she said, reassuringly.
His heart gave a great leap, and he
edged closer as he recalled the physio-
logical fact.
But you also know" she interrupt
ed, that mamma is big and strong and
aggressive"
That was true, he reflected, and he
began to think it might be wise to post
pone what he had to say, when she sug-
gested, in her artleSs way:
"But mamma isn't in"-Chicago Post.

adjacent to the office. A similar mast
is rugged near the Office in South Fore
land, and it is from the top of each of
these masts that communications ra-
date through the air without the fur
ther aid Of wires. The most astonish-
ing feature of this new method OF
telegraphy is that intervening build
ings, fogs, rain, snow, hills or ships do
not impede the accuracy or speed of the
invisible -radiations which -emanate,
from the wire on one mast and are
taken up and registered by the discon-
nected wire at the peak of another mast
thfrty-two miles away.
The characters in which messages
thus expressed are the familiar dots
and dashes of the old Morse code, and
the illustration shows the receiving OPP
orator reading a message from the stape
where it has been written by an in

end being connected to earth, the other
with an elevated conductor. The cur
rent is supplied with a powerful in
duction coil, controlled by a Morse
key. Thus, the waves that travel

Ancient American Sleeping Cars.

L. Navire Eyma, a Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1S47. wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22nd, 194S, giving his ex-
periences on the railroads of the United
States. He says that at that time the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road had a
length Of seventy leagues, and that the
cost Of the road was 4,116, 744 francs
the receipts 3,98S,456 francs and ex-
pcnses 1864, TAI francs, He also gives.
considerable space to the interior ar
engagements of the sleeping cars used
at that time, and says that, "they are
actually houses where nothing is lack
ing for the necessity of life, and are
divided into compartments and sleep
ing rooms, some for men and some for
women" Each room held six beds or
rather little couches in three tiers along
the sides. He winds up his account by
saying that valuables are not particu-
larly we'll taken care of, as in AIMEE
RIGA there were no such things as
sneak thieves"

One day a storm broke out, and the
wind ragged so furiously through the
garden that the spiders suffered dam
age from it, although sheltered by lne
veranda. The m~ainyards of one Of
these webs, as the sailors would call
them, were broken, SO that the web
was blown hither and thither, like a
slack sail in a storm. The spider made
no fresh threads, but tried to help
itself in another way. 1t let itself
down to the ground .by,a thread, and
crawled to a place where lay some
splintered pieces of a wooden fence,
thrown down by the storm. 1t fastened
a thread to IN of the bits of wood,
turned back with it and hung it with
a strong thread to the lower part of it's
nest, about five feet from the ground.
The performance was a wonderful one,
keep the nest tolerably firm, while it
was yet light enough to yield to the
wind, and SO prevent further injury.
The piece of wood was about two and
one-half i~o"os long and as thick as a
goosequil.. n the following day a
careless servant knocked her head
against the wod, and it fell down. But
in the course of a few hours the spider
had found it and brought it back to it's
place. When the storm had ceased the
spider mended her web, broke the sup
porting thread in two, and let the wood
fall to The gTound."-Our Animal
Friends.

strument very much like the stock
ticker which every one has seen and
most people understand. Professor
Hertz gives a concise and ineligible
description of the transmitter and re-
ceiver invented by M~arconi, as fol-
lows:
"The superiority of Marconi's ap-
paratus is largely due to its simplicity.
The transmitter consists of two small
brass spheres fitted in an insulated case
and half immersed in oil for the regu-
