SPIDERS ARE NOT VERY DANGEROUS

spiders: "When undisturbed. spiders never bite
anything except insects useful as their food. but
when attacked cornered all species open their
jaws and bite If they can. depending on the size
and strength Of their jaws. The stories Of DEATH
insanity and lameness from the bites Of spiders
are probably untrue"
The species Of spider are hard to number. The
spiders of North America have been studied by
Hentz. EmertOn, Keyserling and Thorell, and no
doubt by a number Of other who have spe-
cialized In insects. and II is estimated that there
are 500 species in North America. The spider

spiders to bite his hand. Some Of them drew
blood giving a sensation like that Of a sharp
needle prick. The wounds smarted and swelled
somewhat and itched when rubbed producing very
much the sensation Of mosquito bites. but per-
manent Ill effects followed. Another entomolo-
gist. named Blackwell also allowed specimens
of the big spiders to bite his hand. He reported
that he felt no particular pain and little niam-
nation followed, and the wounds healed.
Still another entOmOlOgist. named DOleschall. re-
ported that he had shut up small birds with the
Mygale, of the biggest and fercest of the
spider tribe. The birds died after being
bitten. He allowed of his fingers to be
bitten by large jumping spider. The pain was

arm became lame but the soreness soon passed
away.
The Mygale is one the best-known Of the large
and heavy spiders. 1t is native Of tropical and
subtropical America. 1t is said that it catches
and kills small birds with Its poisonous bite and
then sucks the blood of its victims The body
of this spider is pitch black and Is covered with
long reddish-brown hair. 1t has eight eyes placed
close together in the front of its head. 1t is
close kinsman to the sO-caed bird spider Of
Surinam.
The official name Of that American spider called
the tarantula Is Ctenza California; and it is one
Of the trapdoor spiders. It is common in New
Mexico, Arizona, and California. According to
John Sterling Kingsley, this spider digs its hole
in fine soil which when dry is nearly as hard as
an inch in diameter and vary in depth from two
and three inches to nearly foot. The mouth Of
the hole Is enlarged and then closed by thick
cover which fits 1t tightly. That cover fits into
the mouth of the hole very much a cork does
in the neck Of bottle. The cover is made Of dirt
fastened together with threads and, like the hole,
is lined with silk and is fastened by thick hinge
made of spiders silk. When the cover is closed
it looks exactly like the ground around 1t.
This. like many other species of spider is
nocturnal in its habits. raising its trapdoor at
night and sallying forth in search of food. its
chief food being insects.
There is much diversity of opinion as to the
effect of the bite of these spiders that in living
where they are should practice safety first
and take no chances with them.

Just the foregoing illustration makes plain

Iron rust can be removed by fairly

and often when it is exposed to the
sunlight the action is a little quicker.
The excess of Oxalic acid must be
washed out, and the goods washed with

acid. HydrochlOric acid is the best re-
mover of iron rust, if handled by an ex-
