SPIDER BUILDING A WEB.

Delicate Operation Always performed
by the Female Insect
Have you ever watched a spider
making its web? II is an interesting
sight Only the female does the
spinning and weaving
First she makes a scaffolding of
strong lines. which spreads from the
center star-shaped, steadied by guy
ropes, fastened TO various points
Then the fine, spiral threads. which
catch the prey, are wound round end
round and stick TO the framework by
little knobs of sticky fluid
II Is remarkable how she directs the
thread. Holding it carefully by one
hind claw to keep It well away from
her body, she gives it a pull each
time. then fixes It TO one Of the frame
lines TO make sure Of it's firmness.
The male spider is seldom seen in
the daytime. The female lives on the
web. She has eight legs fitted for
walking on it. Each foot is furnished
with three claws. the middle one being
bent over at the end. forming a long
finger with which she clings to the
delicate web. The outer claws are
curved and toothed like a comb. Op-
poste the claws are several stiff hairs
which are toothed like claws.

days, just twice the time is required
for the ostrich.
Plucking the plumes is done every
eight months. At that period the
plume is cut off, and later, when the
stub dies, it is plucked out. This ope-
ration does not cause the bird any
pain.
The plumes are then assorted with
respects to size and beauty, those Of
the male being considered in point of
size and quality as being very much
finer. It's plumage is always black and
white, while that of the female bird is
drab.
The wing feathers frequently run
to twenty-four inches in length. The
tail feathers are also used, but they
are not as long nor as valuable.
The plucking of an ostrich has to be
done carefully, for a kick from one of
the powerful legs of the bird is
enough to disable man, or even to en-
danger his life. The clipping gener-
ally takes place in small quarters,

Rural mail carriers out of Richmond

which the rural carriers will be fore
ed to keep in the future will be those
of the money orders, stamps and

The counting of the mail delivered
on their respective routes has always
been a tedious task for the carriers,
as it required much time, which can
now be devoted to other duties. The

risks in his own hands. The city
could secure no more valuable acqni-
sition to its property, than hose
house on the West Side. and could take
no better step for promoting the well

that the Improvement and civic leagues
of the West Side will take up the MAJ
ter more forcibly than they ever have

Pressure will be brought to bear upon

When approached on the subject, c.
w. Merrill. president of the board of
public works, stated that as yet the
present board had not been asked TO
take up the matter of locating hose
house on the West Side and certainly
would not take the matter up until it
was laid before them. Residents west
of the river probably will present pc
tition to the board of works and coun-
Gil before many weeks elapse. asking
for the location of a hose company in
that section. The residents would
have the hose house located in a CEN

department would have comparatively
short runs to either West Richmond
