Mrs. Spider cleans House.


Like all careful housekeepers, Mrs.
Spider has her cleaning days, but, I'M
like other careful housekeepers, she
wears her fine clothes when she
works.
Maybe you have seen her all rugged
out in her yellow and black velvet
gown, sweeping and busting her web,
but just remember she is not as ex-
trayagant as she seems. Clothes new
er bother her She doesn't have to
so to a dressmaker when she needs a
new gown. She has only to step out
of her old one, and 10! just under 1t
is a fresh one all ready made, and a
perfect fit!
No, Mrs. Spider is not extravagant.
She is very economical, in fact; for
instead OF throwing aside her old
dresses she rolls them into ball and
eats them.
There are no old-clothes men in the
spider world.
Well, to tell about Mrs. Spiders
housekeeping. She has neither
brushes nor brooms nor busters; so
she begins her work by raising one
Of her eight claws and giving her
house a shake which reaches every
corner. She is careful, however, not
to injure it, but she makes the dust
fly. When this is done to her salts
faction, she looks her web over, first
from the top, then from the bottom,
and then from both sides. If the
walls sag, or are the least bit broken,
she rolls them into ball and eats
them. Just as she does her old clothes,
Then she replaces them by new ones.
When everything is in thorough
order, she sits down for rest and to
make her own toilet.
AS her whole body and legs have
rough, hairy covering she needs quite
a little time to fix herself properly.
In her mandiles, or jaws, are the
teeth with which she combs her hair,
and her claws serve as brushes for
the other parts of her body.
After a careful dressing she Is
ready for dinner, and woe to the fly
or other luckless insect which is
caught in her web!
She spends much of her time eat
ing, and all her food goes into the
back part of her body. which, you
know, looks just like soft, round
ball, Here it is changed into a sticky
syrup. This is the material Of which
her web is made. 1t is forced through
her spinnerets, the tiny knots at the
back of her body, and hardens into
thread when it comes in contact with
the air.
AS the web is in constant need of
repairing, a great deal of material is
required, and Mrs. Spider must eat
much and often
She will neither make nor mend
her web in cloudy weather.-New Or.

A Swiss engineer announces a new

folding iron ladders, contained in
frames, attached to the window cases,
each reaching to the window below. By
merely turning a small winch on any
floor all these frames are pushed out
ward from the building, the ladders eX-
tended and securely connected with
each other, thus forming a continuous
communication from the top floor to
the ground. The manipulation is sim
pie and takes less than a minute
When not in use the escape is barely
visible, and does not disfgure the ia
cade of the building in the manner
that the ordinary outside iron stair
case does. A public test of the new
escape has proved successful, and the
Vienna fire brigade representatives
have expressed their approval of it.

That the natural color of pure water
is blue, instead of white, was long ago
discovered. The green and yellow
tints are said to be due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving a greenish
tint, due to fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color of the water
when precautions are taken to prevent
it. The brown or yellow color due to
iron salts is not seen when calcium is
present.-Engineer
