 Sealed Glass Cage

SELMA, Ala, Nov. 3.-(Special0-A spider which spun web like cloth of gold, whose bite was deadier than the sting of a centipede, or the pune ture of the asp that made mummy of the goddess of the Nile, was cap tured by Ben Davis, naturalist, near Marion Junction, in Dallas county October Il. The venmous half reptile and half insect had spun its web from under a stone at the foot of alder bush to telegraph pole nearby and was contemplating the teXtural beauty of its spun gold fab ric when captured by Davis.
 Since it's capture three weeks ago the tarantula has lived alone In a hermitically sealed glass cage wherein complete vacuum had been produced. Thursday night the var mint died in his glass case tn the show box of a Broad street drug store.
 car of tropical fruit had been unloaded at the junction and Davis believes the big spider escaped from the car and sought refuge under the stone against the alder bush to spin his golden web and dream of a bunch of bananas and his home on an island in the Caribbean sea. During the three weeks of his confinement he covered his vacuum box with a gol- den carpet
