THE SPIDERS WEB.
It's Relation TO the Progress of Arehi-
lecture Among Men.

No one who has spent much time i'll
ihe country can have failed 10 observe
and admire the beautiful webs of the
little garden spider. Shese webs. cir
cular in outline, with radiating threads
running from center 10 circumference
aud supporting Il series Of concentric
lines, are regarded by naturalists as
the highest architectural achievement
Of the spider.
The maker OF the web sits at it's
renter, where the slightest vibration
caused 10y the struggles OF an entan-
gled victim is instantaneously felt
The threads are so fine as almost To be
Invisible In some lights and ut the
same time so strong that no insect not
too powerful for the spider 10 overcome
is able 10 break them.
How did the spider learn the art OF
making these webs? Their great in
genuity and perfection of geometric
form are conceded. Che naturalist is
not satisfied with the reply that il is
a matter of instinct. He learns that
there are wide differences to he found
among the webs OF different spiders.
and his observations Rad him To think
that he can discern sort OF actual
progress, which he calls evolution in
the art of web making among spiders.
The common house spider spins Il
web quite different from that cf the
garden spider. The house spiders
web consists of n silken tube hidden III

Of closely woven meshes spread before
