happens is rea4.y this: Suppose a spi-
der to have been blown by gust Of
wind to plant growing in the middle
of a brook; there it is prisoner, and,
like all prisoners, anxious to escape. How
is it to get across the Surrounding water
in order to reach dry land? It sets to
work to construct Balloon this will
not be of the orthodox shape, but it will
be an aerial vehicle that will take the
insect to land. The spider spins several
threads and connect them, all the while
taking care to keep this web attached
to the plant, so that 1t shall not float
away. The insect labors till it thinks the
balloon strong enough to bear the weight
and then tries it. If not strong enough

When the balloon is completed, the spi-
der places itself firmly en- or in it,

EVERY WINTERS STORY.

Two Of the happiest vacations I ever
spent were a Christmas vacation and
certain summer vacation. One was spent
at the seashore and the other in skat-
ing and sleighing. Altho the weather was
very different I enjoyed them both. I
enjoyed the one at the seashore most be-
cause it was the first time had been
there, and 1 saw many things that
had never seen before. The one I
spent skating and sliding enjoyed, too
But I skate and slide every year, so
that vacation was nothing new. I think
I enjoyed the one at the seashore most.
