An interesting article is contribut-
ed to the Scotsman by writer who
has been studying the life and habits
of the spider and who has been great
~ struck by its intelligence.
'Of all the solitary insects / have
ever seen," ne SAYS. "the spider is
the most sagacious, and its actions,
to one who has attentively consid-
cred them, seem almost to excel be-
lief The spider is formed by nature
for a state of war not only on other
insects, but on its fellows. For this
state Dame Nature seems to
have formed it with singular perfec-
ton It's head and breast are COW
cred with a strong natural coat OF
mail. which is impenetrable to the at
lacks of every other insect; and its
lower parts are enveloped in soft,
plant skin which eludes the sting
even of a wasp. Its legs are termi-
mated by strong claws, not unlike
those of a lobster, and their vast
length, like spears, serves to keep ev-
cry assailant at safe distance. Not
worse furnished for observation than
for attack and defence, it has several
eyes, large and transparent"
