SPIDERS WONDERFUL WEBS
The Instinct Which Teaches Them to
Save Their Frail Homes.

Save Their Frai Homes.
Most spiders build wonderful traps or
homes Of finely spun web. These webs
are stretched in all kinds of places. Out
in the fields they almost carpet the
grasses and weeds with a spread intend
ed to catch the teeming insect life. They
are thrown across the roadways and in
the open glades in the woodland.
Every one has seen the great, round,
fat bodies of the spiders as they hang
mOtlonleSS in the center OF these large
circular webs. Every child has seen the
black and gold fellows which make huge
scra wiling lines of white across the webs
in the garden corners and among the
grape vines. The children call them
writing SPIDERS; and really the white
lines bear close resem blance to hand
writing when viewed at short distance
Every student and observer in nature
soon learns that the spider remains in
the center of the web that it may feel
the slightest motion caused by any luck
less insect which has been caught in the
sticky substance. Now. if one will look
closely at the spider he will see that 1T
hangs head downward.
One day. by suddenly frightening a
spider, a man learned the secret of Its
constant position upside down in the web.
It dropped head down and stopped when
about half way to the ground and swung
slowly to and fro from the end of a long
thread Of web. II 1t had been head up in
the web it would have turned summer
sault and the web would have been
broken. After the spider had swung at
the end of its web for some time IT
thought all danger had passed, and turned
and climbed up again. It rolled the web
thread up with its forelegs. and then
drew it to the ground. This was evident
ly done to keep it from becoming en-
tangled with any OF the web proper or
with grass or weeds nearby. Any one
who has touched web knows that It is
sticky and hard to ravel when once tan
gled Certainly this bit of instinct is
not absent from the SPIDERS brain.-Bal-

THE BEAVERS WISDOM.
4 Remarkable Example of the Animals
Engineering Instinct.

The engineering instinct of beavers
While provenoial rarely fails to call
fourth fresh enthusiasm when their work
is investigated by competent and skilled
mechanics. A case in point is the work
of colony of beavers in Ell Paso coun-
ty, near Palmer Lake, Colorado, and
described in the Scientific American Sup
plement. This colony. which is various
~ estimated at from thirty to fifty mem
bers. was driven away from their old
dam by the continued persecution of the
settlers. who wanted to use for irriga-
ton the water which the beavers i'm
pounded by their dam. After repea tedly
repairing their DAM which was inten-
tinnally broken. the colony decided to
transfer their activities to more seclud
ed spot They finally migrated TO a.
point about two miles upstream, where
nature had done much TO minimize the
labor of constructing a new dam. In a
very little while a new dam 500 feet
long was built of brush and dirt. Some
anglers who wanted to catch the trout In
the new lake back of the dam, set fire
TO the brushwood and burned out much
of it Profiting by experience when the
rey1airs We're made, the construction OF
tht, dam was altered SO that water would
flow over the top of the dam for its en-
tire length. thus avoiding a possible sec
ond burning This dam is absolutely,
level on top. is about 800 feet long and
incloses about fifteen acres of water.
In cleaning material for the dam some
trees as large as a mans leg We're cut
down with system and neatness, and at
all times a supply of material is Kept
