A TnrnntuIa,s Jump.

'There are strange sights in Porto
Rico" said a returned traveller. TIA
rantulas are one Of Them" he contin-
ued. "and you should see tarantula
jump! One of them went through a
marvellous performance, with myself
and dog for spectators. The dogs
barking awoke me early one morning,
and l slipped into my shoes and ran
out. Spot-that's the dogs name-was
making frantic plunges at an enormous
tarantula, as big as my palm and its
legs covering as much ground as soup
plate. Its wicked black eyes made me
creep.
"All of sudden the thing shrank up
like a sponge and jumped for the dog.
I give you my word, it jumped fifteen
feet If it was an inch. Twice the dog
ran under the spiders jump-fact 9th
ers were watching by this time, and
they all saw it. Usually, though, he
just side stepped a bit.
II broke up little pieces of branch
of tree and hurled them at the taran-
tula. My aim was just good enough to
stir him up. At first he kept jumping
away from us, but Spot always herded
him back again. Then he Jumped
straight for us. At last lucky shot
keeled him over, and a few strokes
with convenient club finished him.

noisy SunbeaIns.

Fill glass vessel with lampblack,
colored silk or worsted. Focus the rays
of the sun in lens-that is, hold a
magnifying glass so that the rays pass
through it before they fall on the glass
vessel. Then revolve in the light, be-
tween the lens and the vessel, a disk
with an opening or slit in it so that the
light is alternately falling on the YES
sci and being shut out. Now listen, and
you will hear noise when the light
passes through the slit, but there will
be silence when it is shut out. You
must place your ear close to the glass
holding the silk or other substance.
Another experiment is to use prism
instead of an ordinary lens. This makes
q rainbow, and as the rays pass
through the slit 1t is possible to tell
that some parts of the solar spectrum
as it is called-prod sound as they
fall on the glass vessel, while other
parts have no effect.
