The people of Italy believe In the ex-

for the want Of better name Is called
the tomb spider The entomologists
know nothing Of this queer beast and
declare that II only exists In the fancy
Of the superstltious persons and those
whose curiosity or business makes 1t
necessary for them TO explore old ru-
ins, tombs, catacombs, etc. According
to the popular account, the tomb spl-
der Is of pure white color. has wings
like those of a bat. a dozen horrld
crooked legs and a body three or four
times the size of that of the largest
tropical American tarantula The ac-
counts of this queer insect and his out
of the way places of abode are by no
means common, and on that account
the information concerning him which
we Will be able to give is very meager
Any Italian will tell you that such a
creature exists. however, and that he Is
occasionally met with in old mines and
cayerns as well as in tombs and sub
terranean ruins.

A Woman In Morocco.

All the life of II woman In Morocco Is
really passed behind the walls of its
prison-llke houses. She sees nothing,
knows nothing. Is wholly sunk in igno-
rance She has no social life. no after
noon "at home" A writer says: Most
of the ladies' calls are roof TO roof Wis
ltations, and very nimble they are at
getting over the low partition walls
even dragging ladder UP and down
with them IL there are high ones to be
crossed. The reason Is that the roofs
or. rather terraces, are especially re
served for women folk, and men are
not even allowed to go up except to do
repairs. when the neighboring houses
are duly warned"
