that she had tried the door from the

snld.rs That Hunt Fish.

There are certain large sea spiders
two feet from toe to toe, called Colo
sendeis glgas. that live in the water
and feed entirely upon mollusks and
worms.
The carnivorous wolf spider, an am
phibious inhabitant of the tropical re
gions Of South America, is said to pre-
fer a fish diet, though it is not averse
to eating mice, young birds and even
snakes, resembling in this respect the
theraphosidae, or bird catching spiders,
Of India and Queensland, some Of
which equal rat in size.
The collosendeis is the most formida-
BILE specimen of the spider family,
measuring six inches around the body
and possessing twelve long, hairy legs,
with which it grips its finny prey. 1t
attacks fish several times larger than
itself and after biting them through
the back and stinging them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies Of its victims.

KILLING A WHALE.
Where All Of the Boats Crew Locke
Like Murderers.

Like Murderers.
1t was my boats privilege to fastei
first, and we did so in grand style, says
n writer in Forest and Stream. The
big fellow lay blowing in one position.
and we sailed on him head and head
and fastened to him with two har-
poons, one of them being an explosive.
When he felt the iron he turned and
plunged under our boat and covered us
with The spray from his fukes as he
tossed them up in the air to dive. And
he did not stop either. for our line

In a few minutes he appeared again
near one Of the other boats, and he got
two more harpoons. one Of them ex-
plosive, and then the other two boats
shot in and fastened with two irons
apiece.
Meanwhile the beast was coursing
around and spouting blood in a frantic
manner. and It took six bomb lances
besides the eight harpOons to subdue
him.
Our next hit was made on the 9th,
when our boat fastened again. The
whale did not go very far this time,
but just circled around us in a short
line. Another whale from the herd
kept by him until the kill and then
made Off to windward. The other boat
was Off after some other whales. They
could have got him easily.
While we were tied TO the dead whale
we made out his comrads coming down

prepared for his onslaught. In a min
ute he was close to us, and while he
stopped to take a look we jumped the
boat ahead and darted two irons, which
started him off at high speed to wind
ward, and the people on the ship told
us afterward that we literally skipped
from one sea to the next. All we were
conscious of was the fact that the boat
simply rested on her keel, and the spray

At last he Stacked up and gave as a
chance to put in a bomb lance. He
made a rush to leeward, to where We
had left the dead whale, straight as @

over, too, of course, all the time spout

came up with his blowhole right un

over the side for him, and he got the
spout of thick blood right in the face

we hauled alongside with our two
whales we all looked as much like
murderers as anything else. The cap
