fully holds the new line up behind it
as it goes along, so that it shall not
become entangled with the lines on
which it walks. One or both hind
feet serve as hands in these spinning
operations, for as the spider has eight
feet it can spare one or two for other
purposes than locomotion. When the
desired point is reached the slack is
pulled in and the line fastened The
spider then goes to the point where
the center of the orb is to be, and,
fastening another line, it walks back
to the outer framework and attaches
this line an inch or two from the first
In this way all of the radiating lines
are drawn. The next step is to stay
these radii by a spiral line, which is
begun near the center. and attached
to each radius as it crosses it. The
turns of this spiral are as far apart
as the spider can conveniently reach.
All of the threads spun up to this
stage in the construction of the web
are dry and inelastic. The spider now
proceeds to stretch upon this frame
work a sticky and elastic line. which
is the most important part of the
web. the other lines being merely
framework to support it. In spinning
the sticky line the spider begins at
the outer edge of the orb, and, pass
ing around it, fastens this line to each
radius as it goes. Thus second
spiral is made. The turns OF this
spiral are placed quite close together
and the first spiral, which is merely
temporary support, is destroyed as the
second spiral progresses.-Chrlstian

possibly be thd genuine Ben Greet
Players who are coming here at
lyceum (5Oc. and 75c.) prices, but the
company is Mr.. Greet's only one on
the road and contains seven of the
original players who came with him
from England twelve years ago, whaa
the remaining six have been with him
for several years in his greatest sue
cesses.
Mr.. Greet's engagement in Augusta
is, of course, only made possible by
filling every one of the 1900 seats in
City hall.
The original contract for the COM
pany's appearance here called for
only ten of his players, but Mr.. Greet
informs the management that thir-
teen will be sent SO that there will be
no possibility of marring the 1produc-
ton of Goldsmith's great comedy
"She Stops to Conquer" This is
characteristic of Mr.. Greet who has
never spared money, time nor trouble
to please the public.
