down under the surface forming a buble
which it holds between the hind-legs and
carries with it. 1t is only in this manner
that it can furnish air for the interior
of it's nest, keeping it dry until the eggs
are Matched.
First, of course, the mother spider
builds her nest. This is placed some dis
lance down in the water, and is a sort
of cell spun in the shape of an egg, hav-
ms an opening on the under, side When
this is completed, she rises to the surface,
and there charges her body thoroughly
with air. Then once more she dives I'M
der the surface, the water forming a bub-
BILE which gradually swells out from the
body. This she skilfully holds between
her furry hind legs, firmly, and yet gent
~, so that 1t won't break and escape.
Swimming to the nest, she discharges the
bubble in II. This OF course crowds out
some Of the water, leaving the top filled
with air. As the nest is large, requiring
great deal, the spider makes another,
and yet another trip, until the whole in
terror is free from moisture. BY this sim
pie process she keeps the eggs dry, and
furnishes air for the young until they
are large enough to swim out and get 1t
for themselves.
But as much as this spider lives UNI
der water, It is always dry. No matter
how long 1t may have been swimming
around under the surface. the moment
IL comes 70 the top, there is no trace
OF moisture in II. The reason OF this Is.
that the air particles that cling to It's
hair keep Off the water, and prevent II
from soaking through the skin Another
strange thing about II is that It can
swim with great speed. In spite Of its
balloon Ike burden. The best way TO
watch the water spider Is 10 place one
IN a vessel filed with water. and con-
tanning some water plant. There II win

of personal favor at the hands of the
Queen, but she paid Charles Dickens one
of the most delicate and gracious COM
phments ever paid to writer. Dickens,
who by the way. in his youthful days,
was devoured by grand passion for the
youthful Queen, was invited when at the
climax OF his fame to dine at Windsor

sentence: From the humblest to the most

Queen afterward showed many favors to
the late Lord Tennyson, but even in
making him a peer of the realm she
did not bestow as great compliment.
An exec llent sorry of the Queens hu

"Well, Your Majesty. he certainly is
a bad soldier, but there was somebody

"Oh. thank you" said the Queen in
heartfelt tones. and before the astonished
Duke could utter a word of protest she
had written across the paper the word:

WATER SPIDERS.
Queer Nests That Are Kept Dry with
Air Bubbles.

1t seems strange that a certain kind of
spider Is capable of forming a bubble,
taking it down through the water, and
discharging, it into it's nest, so that the
eggs, and later on, the young, are kept
dry, and given air. Yet this is what the
water spider does.
Although this spider lives on land, where
il needs plenty of air to breath, 1t IS
really Matched under the water, and
spends a great deal of it's time there be-
meath the surface. Its body is covered
with hair, which holds the air like drops
of water; and when the body is charged
with these air particles, the spider dives
