ing on flies for about two months. The
spider was at one edge of it's web.
Sounding the fork. the man touched q
thread az the other side and watched
the result.

conveyed TO him over his telephone
wires, bet how was he to knew on
which particular wire it was travel

very quickly and felt around until he
touched the thread against the other
end Of which the fork was sounding;

upon il. Then he ratreated n little way
and looked at the fork. He was puz-

on the fork again and danced with de-
light. Evidently the sound was music
