There are certain large sea spiders
two feet from toe to toe). Collosendeis
gigas, that live In the water and feed
entirely upon molusks and worms.
The carnlvorous wolf spider, IN am
phibious inhabitant of the tropical re-
gions of South America, Is said to pre-
fer fish diet, though It is not averse
to eating mice. young birds and even
snakes. resembling in this respect the
thepphosidae. or bird catching spiders
OF India and Queensland. some Of
which equal rat In size. The colo
sendeis is the most formidable speci
men Of the spider family, measuring
6 inches around the body and pos
sessing IL long, hairy legs. with which
1t grips Its finny prey. 1t attacks fish
several times larger than Itself, and
after biting them through the back and
stinging them to death gluts itself by
sucking the juices from the bodies of
Its Notwithstanding Oregonian.

The London Of Pepys.

1t Is disappearing fast: 1t has almost
vanished, the London Of Pepys; but
few traces of II are still left and
should be visited by lovers Of the past
and readers of the famous "Diary"
before they are entirely swept away.
Regret can never cease that threat
ening of blindness should have forced
Pepys to close his manuscript "a years
before his death and that thus II
should only depict IL years Of his life
for us. Yet, as Mr.. Lowell said, "the
lightest part of the diary Is of value,
historically. for 1t enables one to see
the London Of 200 years ago. and, what
Is more. to see II with the eager eyes
Of Pepys;" while there will be few of
its readers who will deny that there
is probably more involuntary humor In
Pepys' Diary than in any book ex.
tant."-Pall Mall Magazine.

rough places and In going up hill or
any rise In the ground. Where there
is no beaten trail--as was the case
most of the distance we travelcd-the
dogs have nothing to guide them. and
one man Is obliged to run ahead. He
generally runs some distance and
then walks until the head team comes
up with him. when he runs on again.
When the snow Is hard and the road
level the dogs. with an average load.

for man to walk and not so fast as
he can run. BY alternately running

A Clever Little DoR.

A curious illustration of canine intel.
ligence-and Its limitations-was oh.
served by writer In The outlook
few days ago Passing down n street
he saw a fine Alredale terrier lying
down and with both forepaws and
muzzled nose scrubbing the surface of
IN iron grating with bone, as II to
bring 1t to a high state Of polish, The
owner saw and explained The graf.
Ing Is just over n cellar In which the
"ricr sleeps. His muzzle prevents
- from attacking bones to advan-
".,;c by day. so he brings the bones of
lis finding to the grating. hoping to
push them through and gnaw luxu-
riously when unmuzzled at night. But
the little chap had but the vaguest
ideas of the size limits of the grating,
and. as the ordinary sizes of bones go.
