SPIDERS WEB ONE
OF NATURES WONDERS

In his book "A Naturalist in Him
aIaya," Captain II. n. Kingston notes
that when Il SPIDERS web has become
worn out beyond further patching, the
maker eats it.
Il was at first very much surprised
TO think that a SPIDERS stomach could
be So capacious as to contain the com
plete snare" says the captain. "In
this, however, | was much mistaken;
for ! found that n large, complete
snare, eleven inches In diameter, was
OF such delicate substance and com
pressible into SO small a bulk that,
when rolled into ball between the
fingers, 1t formed compact mass but
little larger than an ordinary pins
head. A spider win often swallow en-
tire a fly Of much greater dimensions
than its own compact snare. look
Oh the circular snare of the Epeira as
almost as beantitui an example of
mathematical accuracy In the life of
organic beings MS the exquisite struc-
ture of the. hoheyeDiub.
But how much more wonderful does
1t all seem when we picture the web
as potential fabrfc, first woven into
an inlmtable harmony to lure to death
thousands Of living creatures, then tat
tered and torn in the tragedy, to be
again received into the nav OF its
yoracious host, to be repurIfied In the
strange economy Of a SPIDERS suuc-
ture, to emerge again from the spin
ning-wheel in fine, transparent fla
ments, to be woven again into the
same lovely texture, and to repeat the
same eternal drama that fills the mind
with such enthusiasm and admiration"
