The SPIDER.

II Differs From an Insect In Five Main
Particulars.
The spider is not an insect. though
probably nine people out Of ten would
class It under this term. With scor.
pions and mites spiders form class 10
the animal kingdom known as arach.
nida This name Il derived FROM a
mythical parsonage called Aracbne,
the daughter Of purple dyer Of Ly-
dia. who was tabled to have chat
lenged Minerva to a trial OF skill 10
spinning. SO indignant was the god
dess at this act Of boldness that she
forthwith transformed the hapess
challenger into a spider, presumably
in order that she might have the best
possible opportunity OF practicing the
art on which she prided herself so
much.
Spiders differ from insects ia five
main particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead Of compound. they have
eight legs ID place OF six. they do not
pass through be meiamorphoses
which are characteristic OF Insects,
they have no antennae aud their
breathing IS accomplished BY means Of
organs which combine the functions
of lungs aud gills instead Of By rnhes
pervading their bodies. These points
OF distinction are sufficient 10 deter
mine the fact that II is imnossibla 10
class spiders as insects.
