A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as Larks Il
Lie WAk

He Catches Birds as Big as Larks In
His Mammoth Web.
Far up In the mountains of Ceylon
there is a spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet In diameter, while
the supporting lines or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet, and, riding quickly in the
early morning, you may dash right
into 1t, the stout threads twining round
your face like lace veil, while, as the
creature that has woven 1t takes up
his position in the middle. he generally
catches you right In the nose, and.
though he seldom bites or stings. the
contact of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you for
get yourself and try to catch him, bite
he will, and, though not venomous,
his jaws are as powerful as a birds
beak. and you are not likely to forget
the encounter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated. being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size Of
I larks are frequently caught therein,
and even the small but powerful scaly
lizard falls a victim. A writer says
that he has often sat and watched the
yellow monster = measuring, when
waiting for his prey. with his legs
stretched out, fully six Understanding
across the middle Of the net and noted
the rapid manner In which he winds
his stout threads round the unfortu-
uate captive.
He usually throws the coils about
the head until the wretched victim Is
first blinded and then choked. In
many unfrequented dark hooks of the
jungle you come across most perfect
skeletons of small birds caught in
these terrible snares.

Their Existence Proved, Yet Scientists

l have seen enough to make me be-
lieve in Zollner's fourth dimension,
but don't My mind is so constructed
that such wonders as we meet in
seances produce very little effect on
me- They are as normal to me now
as the popping of corn or the roasting
of potatoes But as for belief-well,
that is not matter of the will, but Of
evidence, and the evidence is not yet
sufficient to bring me to any definite
conclusion. In fact, in the broad day
and especially the second day after !

periences l begin to doubt my senses
Richet speaks of this curious recession
of belief and admits his own inability
to retain the conviction that at the mo
ment of the phenomenon was complete
mo sooner is the sitting over than my
doubts come swarming back upon me"
he says. '"The real world which sur
rounds us, with its prejudices, its
scheme of habitual opinions, holds US
in so strong a grasp that we can
scarcely free ourselves completely.
Certainty does not follow on demon
stration, but on habit"
Maxwell says: 81 believe IN these
phenomena, but l see no need to at
tribute them to any supernatural inter
vention. l am inclined to think they
are produced by some force within our
selves" Just what he means by that
can't precisely explain. It's harder
to understand than the spirit hypoth-
esis. He goes on to say that. while he
is certain that we are in the presence
of an unknown force, he is convinced
that the phenomena will ultimately be
found orderly, like all other facts OF
nature. "Some future Newton will
discover more complete formula than
ours" he prophesies. every natural
fact should be studied and, if it be
real, incorporated In the patrimony OF
knowledge He then adds, with the
true scientists humble acknowledge
ment of the infinite reach Of the undis-
covered universe, sour knowledge Is
very limited and our experience young"

SERPENT OF AEscULAPIUs.
Worship of Snakes Led to Adoption Of
the Mystical Symbol.

Worship of Snakes Led to Adoption Of
the Mystical Symbol.
1t has been pointed out by DR.. Bou-
din that the worship of the serpent
was so universal in antiquity that all
temples came to be known as "dra-
coma" (serpent houses).
However that may be, serpents were
kept In many of the temples of an
uquity, notably In those of Apollo
whose son, Aesculapius. is represented
In ancient statuary carrying a serpent
intwined round staff or round his arm
The serpent. indeed, came in time to
be the special mystical emblem or sym
boil of the Aesculapian art.
The serpents of the ancient Greek
temples were In all probability relics
of that primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal among
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races at the
present day.
And '.voodoo," or ''obi," serpent wor
ship is still said to linger in the West
Indies among the descendants Of
slaves.
In Haiti especially, where negroes
were dumped down from Africa by the
old slave traders and were kept in re
serve before being sold to masters in
the surrounding islands. voodoo has
defied Roman Catholic missionaries
and priests for ages. A French nava
officer who visited the court of the
Haitian potentate Soulongue in 1916
described voodoo ceremony where
cannibalistic and other orgies were in
dulged in.
1t is noticeable that the cock and
black goat which were solemnly eater
on this occasion were both of then
sacred to Aesculapius Hence we may
infer that the Aesculapian cultus was
originally an innocent form of voodoC
and at the same a primordial religion.
The extreme antiquity of serpent
worship seems. indeed, to be limited
at in Genesis, where the devil appears
In the guise of the snake god intent OF
the ruin of man. In the story of the
brazen serpent healing qualities are
attributed to the image.-Lancet
