How Spiders Travel.

Spinning webs is second nature with
spiders. After they are Matched from
the eggs In n cocoon, they cling 10.
gcther for about q week. Then they
separate, hut their legs do not carry
lhem very far. Facing the wind. and
standing on the tips of their legs, the
baby spiders raise their ahdomcns and
emit sil5en thread. The faintcsr
current watts the gossamcr in the mir
and when enough is let out to permit
OF aerial flight the insect drifts away.
When 1t wishes to land 1t haus In
the thread. Wherever It lands ii can
spin webs without the slightest In.
structIons from older spiders. Older
male spiders seem to lose this gift.
There are about $50 species Of spi-
doris In America, but only two, the
house and garden spiders, are well
known.
