PECULIAR EYES.


The Organs of Sight Of the Spider
and the Snail.
The next time you catch q spider try
to find the eight shiny little eyes at the
anterior end, some above and some put
under the edge Of what we may imag-
Inc to be its forehead. To examine
these parts to the best advantage hold
the spider In tweezers, or 1t may be
better to use spider killed by being
dropped into bottle Of diluted alcohol.
These eight eyes vary In arrangement
and In relative size In various species
Of spiders-in some they may be ar
ranged In two rows. in other In three;
some may be very small and others
large and prominent, and so on-bui
there they are, rather poor eyes. near.
sighted, looking In several directions at
once, and the spider, which can never
shut any Of them, is sure to see every
thing that approaches unless 1t ia
asleep. In which case the sight Is dead.
For some purposes 1t may be conven-
lent to have eyes that roll up and dis
appear at the approach Of danger. And
these are exactly what the snail has,
situated at the end Of two long and
sensitive palpi. or feelers. When all Is
quiet their owner extends these organs,
and you can see at their tips small
round knobs upon which the eyes are
placed. But II you touch one Of the
palpi or even jar the snail q little the
eyes begin to back into these feelers
a the tip Of a glove finger may be
turned in. and they no longer see any
danger that may be lurking at hand.
