cambering about on the web. When a
spider spins down the ceiling on a single
thread, if approached. it will climb that
thread backwards, using the hind feet like
sailor climbing a rope hand over hand !;
but in addition to the rope-climbing feat.
she will coil the rope on her back, and
when the cause of alarm is removed, she
will play out that same coil and come
down again
On the spiders back, toward the rear,
there are six little teats but there are hun
dreds of fine holes in each teat. There are
muscles around the base of the teats, by
the use of which fluid is squeezed out,
which fluid hardens Immediately upon ex-
posture to the air Hundreds of fine streams
unite to form one thread
To begin a web, a spider will sometimes
spin until the wind blows the thread
against an adjacent limb, after which the
spider can walk back and forth, spinning
another thread along the way. Gross
threads are fastened by putting fresh
drop of the mucilaginous substance on the
intersection, thereby soldering two threads
together.
If the wind does not favor the attach
ment of the thread where it is wanted. the
spider will spin and hang down on single
thread. Then, by struggling, a swinging
motion is produced which eventually lands
the spider at the desired point.
Great ingenuity is manifested by these
little creatures in their many methods of
securing prey. One class is gifted with a
knowledge of just where to bite an insect
so as to paralyze it in which condition it
can be stored away, and will remain fresh
until wanted.

Martha is having two or three summer
dresses made early, so that when the first
warm days come she will have something
new and fresh to wear. The prettiest of
her afternoon dresses is the one made of
pale blue lawn, trimmed with bands of rib
bon joining rows of stirring. The ribbon
is the color of the gown, though a triAe
paler, and on the edge of the ribbon bands
are sewed tiny pearl beads. The white
beads give a delicate and pleasing look to
the whole gown. The bead idea is a new
one.

scriptions and pledges amounting to s13,-

home. No. 7s9 Euclid avenue. in . critical
condition.
Inspector Dice .,as been victim Of

made frequent trips to different watering
places in search of relief. but was final
ly forced to place himself under the care
of his physician Colonel W. T. Sullivan

Inspector Dice is Sc years Of age and has
three grown sons. He entered the depart

DEFERRED
ON WRECKING BIDS
Worlds Fair Salvage Committee
Thinks Proposals Are made
quate and Will Consider
Matter at Future Meeting.

Bids for the wrecking Of the World s
Fair buildings after the Fair were opened
yesterday by the Salvage Committee in
the Office Of the Director OF Works. There
were about a dozen bids submitted. but
none Of them was accepted at yesterday S
meeting The matter was laid over, to be
considered at future meeting Of the
committee.
The bids were disappointing to the men,
bers of the committee. 1t Is said. the
amount to be realized from salvage on the
material of the vast structures seeming to
be inadequate.
President Francis and most of the mem
hers of the Committee on Salvage were
present at the opening of the bids. which
was private. Not all of the bids We're on
the whole number of buildings to be
wrecked. several of the contractors mere
ly submitting bids on one or more of the
structures.
The Exposition prefers to have a bid or
the whole layout rather than to have the
work distributed among number of con-
tractors Firms from various parts Of the
United States submitted sealed proposals
for the wrecking of the buildings. the
bids having come from as far as Massa-
chuSettS.
