A Wonderful S solder Web.

In the Pacific ocean there is a group OF
Islands called the New Hebrides, where
there is a species of spider that weaves
a fine cloth. What doyou think of that?
The natives place a slight framework in
some dark corner where there are known
to be spiders, and the little insects i'm
mediately take possession of the frame
and use it as a foundation for a web,
with marvellous results. One cap made
in this way by spiders was over four feet

aroused a great storm of discussion

Naples and Sicily were soon annexed,
and on March II, 1861, Victor EN-

parliament proclaimed Rome the CAPT.

This announced to the pope the pur-
pose of the advancing army to deprive
him Of all temporal power. But while
the French army remained in the city
during the nine years following, the
pope retained possession Of Rome and
entertained the constant. hope that the
opportunity would come of regaining
possession of the states that had Sc
ceded to Victor Emanuel But in 1870.

soon capitulated to the superior forces,
