SPIDERS WITHOUT EYES.
Yet They Hunt Their Prey with Ac-
curaoy In the SubterraAsAA
Depths. sSn1

A miner may be superstitious, but he
is as plucky as man as breathes. One
creature, however, most of them shy
at the sight Of. This is the great,
bloated, white spider, which rustles
along the walls of the shaft and dis
appears in some cleft in the rock. Nat
uraists for long time would not
believe that these spiders were really
cave dwellers. They declared that they
were merely ordinary spiders that had
fallen or crept into the mines. But at
last one was brought to famous nat
uralist, and found by him to be abso-
lutely without eyes. This proved be-
wound doubt that for centuries the
creatures ancestors had lived beyond
the reach of sunlight.
A spider, even II he does live in the
depths ot the earth, must eat. and
more recently his prey has been dis
covered. 1t IS a sort OF small beetle.
Another scorpion-like insect, called the
blothrus, also takes his blind way over
the rocks and stalks by sound and
touch he same prey. 1t is wonder
full thing to watch one of these crea-
lures hunting a beetle. and almost i'm
possible to alize Its absolute blind
ness when one sees how perfectly its
movements correspond with those OF
Its Intended victim.
