Scientific Fun With . Spider.

It occurred to a scientist in Washing. ton to try what effect the sound of a tuning fork would have on a spider He had a strong suspicion that the spider would take 1t for the buzzing Ot fly. Selecting a. large, fat spider that had long been feasting on flies. the man of science sounded the fork and touched a thread of the spiders web.
 The owneEs~WaS at one edge .O& its web, and the thread selected was on the other side. Over it's wonderful tel conveyed to the watchful spider. but from its position it could not tell along which particular line the sound was travelling It ran to the center of the web in hot haste and felt all round till 1t touched the thread against the other end of which the fork was sounding Then. taking another thread along aa a precautionary measure, 1t ran out tC the fork and sprang upon 1t.
 At this point 1t found out It's mistake It retreated for a short distance and stopped to survey this new buzzing creature that should have been a fly but was strangely unlike any insect il had ever seen. At length. apparently convinced that the object at the OuteI edge of the web. was more suitable fol amusement than. for an article of diet 1t got on 1t and danced with pleasure It was evident that the sound of tho fork was music to it-WashingtOr Star. .s7
