Instinct In Spiders,

Spinning webs is second nature with
spiders. After they are hatched from
the eggs in cocoon they cling to-
gether for about a week. Then they
separate. but their legs do not carry
them very far. Facing the wind and
standing on the tips Of their legs, the
baby spiders raise their abdomens and
emit silken thread. The faintes1
current watts the gossamer in the air,
and when enough is let out to permit
of aerial flight the insect drifts away.
When 1t wishes to land 1t hauls in the
thread. Wherever it lands it can spin
webs without the slightest instrus-
tions from older spiders. Older male
spiders seem to lose this gift. There
are about $50 species Of spiders in
America, but only two, the house and
garden spiders. are well known.

New Guinea is the home Of a large

paradise. The supply of these beauti-
full birds is fast failing. Not only do
the women of Europe and America
demand feathers for their bonnets,
says the Savannah News, but the ma
tives of New Guinea and surrounding
islands make lavish use of the plu-
mage as headdresses. Some precau.
;tions are now taken to prevent visitors
to New Guinea from killing the "most
beautiful birds in the world" but the
natives are left alone and they con-
tinue to deck themselves out In capes
and headpieces more gorgeous than
any seen on our stage beauties or the

Rodney Hill, by whose side Maia
had worked during those most trying
days and nights In France; Rodney
Hill. who, when they parted fopr
months ago, had held Maia's hand In
his own and had told Maia that she
was the pluckiest girl in the world
and had told her that he didn't know
how he was going to get along with
out her. Maia had not heard from
Doctor Hill again. and there we're
times when she had had to confess to
herself that in her disappointment
there was greater cause for the ex-
haustfon she had felt during these
months back in America than was the
memory Of all the work in France.

mask even then, but once she spoke

minutes.
"But I didn't know you were one

"And l never dreamed that you
were," she said. "You never seemed
like these Woodmere people or that
you knew girls like Alicia Barton"
"But I'm not, and l don't" pro-
tested Rodney. "You see when
got back from France I'd rather lost
my grip. had just finished medical
college when I went over, and ex-
hausted as was I wasn't in shape
to put up the fight that would be
necessary to start in on my own.

truth, it was because Of the fat salary
that went with it that accepted it for
the summer.
II wanted to make sure I had
enough to keep the pot boiling for Q
year and then was going to look yoN
up and ask you whether you'd help
me to start. I wanted to tell you back
there in France, that night when we
left, but I knew we had both been
through too much to think of ourselves
then. Besides, / wanted to have q
home to offer you before asked you.
