speaking Of the extinction OF the
buffalo, the director Of the New fork

sTt is by no means true that the eA-
termination of the buffalo is due most
" to the encroachment Of human De-

than TO their wholesale slaughter. Inc

1t is not generally known that after

Of spinning web from lack OF mate

which the slender threads are spun Is
limited: therefore spiders cannot keep
on constructing new snares when the
old ones are destroyed. But they can
avail themselves OF the web producing
powers of their younger neighbors, and
this they do without scruple. As soon
