important item is the 400 tons Of
drinking water, whose bulk is ade-
quately represented by the circular
tank shown in our engraving. This is
supplemented by $4,000 quarts of
wines and liquors, $4,000 quarts of
beer in kegs, besides 5000 bottles of
beer. Last, but not by any means
least, is the supply Of forty tons of ice.
OF course it is not to be supposed
that all Of this supply will be con-
sumed on the voyage. There must be
a margin, and a fairly liberal margin,
of every kind Of provision Moreover,
the extent to which the larder and eel
lar are emptied win vary according to
the conditions of the voyage In
tempestuous weather, where the trip
is a succession of heavy gales, and the
dining room tables are liable to be
practically deserted for two or three
days at a stretch, the consumption
will be modified considerably.

mhr snlders Are Not 1nsects.

The spider is not an insect, though
probably nine people out of ten would
class it under this term. With scor-
pions and mites spiders form a class
in the animal kingdom known as
Arachnida. This name is derived
from a mythical parsonage called
Arachne, the daughter of a purple dyer
of Lydia, who was tabled to have
challenged Minerva to trial Of
skill in spinning. SO indignant was
the goddess at this act of boldness that
she forthwith transformed the hap
less challenger into a spider, presum-
ably in order that she might have the
best possible opportunity of practicing
the art on which she prided herself
so much.
Spiders differ from insects in five
main particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead of compound, they have
eight legs in place of six, they do not
pass through the metamorphoses
which are characteristic of insects,
they have no antennae and their
breathing is accomplished by means Of
organs which combine the functions
Of lungs and gills, instead of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
of distinction are sufficient to deter
mine the fact that it is impossible to
class spiders as insects.
