WINGED Creature. Of sorn...

In BorneO winged creatures are en-
countered where one would least ex-
pect them. Flying fish the size of her
rings are found in all the waters, and
there is the dying fox, the we'll known
fruit eating bat, which the Malays call
''kruang." They may be seen almost
any evening winging their steady
flight often at a great elevation well
out of range Of shotgun. The dying
squirrels as evening twilight comes
are also seen. They glide down from
one lofty tree to the base of another.
up which they scramble to the level
they started from. Wide expansions
of skin between the fore and hind
limbs act In parachute fashion and
sustain them in their glide. They are
of some size. but are quite harmless.
The flying lizard is seen In the heat Of
the day, In the jungle gliding down
with fash In much the same manner
as the squirrel. But he is much small
er and 1t requires a quick eye to de-
tect him. The natives kill him with
clay ball shot from their blowpipes.-

There are certain large sea spiders
two feet from toe to toe, called Colo
sendeis gigas. that live In the water
and feed entirely upon mollusks and
worms.
The carnivorous wolf spider, an am
phibious inhabitaDt Of the tropical re-
gions OF South America. is said to pre-
fer fish diet though 1t is not averse
to eating mice. young birds and even
snakes. resembling in this respect the
thera phosidae. 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 1t grips its 6nny prey. II
attacks fish several times larger than
itself and after biting them through
the back and singing them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies OF Its victims.

be used for at least two hours after

American Medical Association. The
heart may continue to beat for a. long
a time as Eve minutes after cessation
of respiration. although It usually stops
In two or three minutes Add to
