to be abandoned spider webs. But let
a iuckless bee or fly entangle itself in
the silky meshes and in a moment you
will see the queerest creature stepping

fully, over the web and making
straight for the unfortunate prisoner.

no spider ever boosted so slim and

Breaking dog to guntire is usually
accomplished when it is quite young
and is done by gradually accustoming
the dog to the noise of the fire. A
small arm is used at first and is fired
Mt some distance from the dog, grad
ually working up to closer distances
and larger arms.
