Dozens of kinds of webs are
made by spiders. Among these the
web of the common garden spider
is noted for its fine pattern.
A framework is made first. the
lines being fastened to objects,
such as branches of plant. Later
the garden spider spins thread to
make a spiral figure. The frame

of 'bird-catching spiders"
Bird-catching spiders are found
in Brazil and certain other lands
in the torrid zone. They grow to
great size, the body being about 2
inches long and the legs spreading

A question about spiders appears
in note from Miss Helen X.
Mullen.
After seeing 'Tarzan Finds a
Son. I began to wonder whether
spiders could spin web strong
enough to resist a child or adult.
Will you please tell the answer in
your column. which I follow from
day to day?"
In some tropical forests spiders
spin webs of such size that it is
hard, or at least unpleasant, for a
traveller to pass. No spider webs,
however, are strong enough to en-
trap human being, whether
young or old.
Flies, mosquitoes and other in
sects are the victims usually caught
by spiders. Their webs are spun
with the special purpose of obtain
ing a food supply.
In the abdomen of a spider are
openings known as "spinnerets. "
Usually there are four or six of

quently heard in high places, no
modern dictionary to my knowledge
sanctions the dropping of the "g."
That these mispronunciations have
long disturbed exponents of correct
speech is indicated by Pronounce
ing Manual" dated 1880, in which the
author, a noted speech authority Of
his day, warned against the vulgar
and inelegant ZENITH and 'stren'th' I"
as "indisputable evidence of a de-
plorable illiteracy and woeful lack
of refined taste!"
In the face of that stern indict-
ment, the guilty among us will surely

Bird-catching spiders have large,
strong fangs. Some natives of the
tropics are said to use the fangs
as toothpicks. OF course that does
not take place until the fangs and

Bird catching spiders spin heavy

small birds, such as humming birds,
are trapped in them.

The bidding was identical at both
tables. In one room, West opened
the king of diamonds and continued
the suit until South ruffed. South
then knocked out the ace of trumps
and easily took the rest of the
tricks to fulfill his vulnerable game
contract.
In the other room, the West play
er displayed no such unseernly haste
in taking his diamonds. South's
bidding indicated a five-card heart
suit, and North's raise showed at
least three card heart support. That
left only one heart at most for
East, since West himself had four
of them. Accordingly, West opened
a heart. Dummy won and led a
trump, West taking his ace at once
in order to return another heart.
East ruffed and got his partner in
with diamond to get another heart
ruff. Then second diamond lead
gave the defenders the second set
ting trick. The difference between
the 200-point penalty in this room
and the 620-point game in the other
room "a full swing of 800 points
