By gently touching the strings Of i
guitar one can often cause spiders td
come down the walls or from tho bail
ings. They will evert walk over the
strings and while doing so they appear
to bn oagorly searching for something,
moving about excitodly and looking
tierce aud hungry,
"A kind of spider dative td South
America is remarkable for the great
length df its legs, and has a very singular
method of defending Itself. When at
tack td it gathers its feet together, fast;
fining them td the center of its web,sod
gyrates with the velocity of a whirligig,
so that it appears like a mist on the well,
offering no point for an eoernv to strike
at. There is another species which fights
by throwing a not about its adversary.
I have seen a duel between two individ
uals, iu which each tried to entangle the
other in snares cunningly cist, the dex-
tority with which they avoided capture
being wonderful. At longtli one was
tripped) and presently the suceessiitl
combatant began revolving round and
round her opponent) the latter being
soon wrapped iri a silvery oacooii,widen
was its winding sheet:
"Among the most ro nirkalllo spiders
Is the Dolo neies, which runs over the
surface of water in | irauitof its prey,and
dives to escape from its cnemiu3. Stran
ger still is the Argyroueta, which builds
its house wheroiu it lays its eggs, and
rears its young at the bottom of streams.
Some species are exceedingly ferocious,
though none more so than the huge gray
Lycosa, with n black riin round it* mid
dle, which will citato pjjple on slight
provocation. This fierce creature,which
lives partly by catchiug birds, has been
known to pursue men on horse-back.
"Dr. W. II. Hudson tills of »uoh an
adventure which lie mot with while rid-
ing across a plain covered with dry grass.
Pursuing his way at an easy trot ho sud-
deuly observed a great spider chasing
him, leaping swiftly along and keeping
op with tlie horse. He aimed a blow
with his whip at tbe ferocious insect,aut
the point of the Insh struck tho ground
close to it,when it instantly leaped upon
and ran tip the lash. It was actually
within three or lour inches of the band
that held the whip before tiro letter ear
suddenly dropped. These great hairy
spiders are very formidable ic appear
ance. When approached they stand erect
on their four hind feet, like pugilists,
threatening their alversary. Then,
dropping upon all eight feet,they charge
to tho r.ttack.
" The greatest enemies of spldors are
wnsps, which do not kilt them outright
customarily, but simply disable them for
tho purpose of utilizing them while liv
ing as food for their young. The wasp,
ns soon as it has paralyzed tho victim by
stiugiug it, drags tho now helples*spider
to a hole. Placing it in tho bottom of
tha hole the captor lays an egg alongside
of it; then, coming out, it fills up am|
obliterates tho holo with dust and rub
bish, flying away, tbereupou in quest of
other prey. As soon as it is hatched the T T „
young wasp grub feeds upon the livingr i quarries, however, being generally pro
body of tbe unhappy spider, waxing fat *
and finally crawling out of the hole a
winged and perfect inseot, ready to con
tinue tho war against the spider tribe.
"Spiders are singularly defenseless
animals. Their small cutting weapons
aud supplies of poison afford little pro
tection against the attacks of their insect
foes. Tlieso latter, being winged, are
able to swoop down from above, them
selves protected by invulorable shields
and armed with deadly stings. With re
lation to tlioir foos spiders are placed in
a situation very similar to that of human
boiugs, having soft and unprotected
bodies, possessing no natural weapons
worth mentioning and being equipped
with very slight muscular strength com
pared with the animals they have to con
tend agninst. Theirsurvival indention,
where causes for their swift extermina
tion would seem to exist, is due to the
exercise of superior intelligence and cun
ning, as is the case with mankind.
"Dr. Hudson says that this superior
intelligence is closely related to the we'j
with which the spider is provided. Im
agine tlto case of an arboreal man born
with a cord of great length attached to
his waist, which could either bo dragged
after him or carried in t coil. Experi
ence would touch him to put it to use and
practice would make him more and more
skillful in handling it. He would be
gin by employing it, as the monkey does
its prehensile tail, to swing himself Iro n
branch to branch, and finally, to escape
from an ouemy or in pursuit of his prey,
he would be able by means of his cord
to drop himself with safety from tha
tallest trees or fly down the steepest
precipices, lie would also utilize it for
binding branches together and building
himself a refuge. In a close light he would
endeavor to entangle his adversary, and
at last he would learn to make a snare of
it to capture other animals.
"To all these aud to a hundre! other
uses the spider has put her web. And
when we see her spread her beautiful
geometric snare, held by tines fixed to
widely separated points, while she sits
coucealed iu her web-lined retreat among
the leaves where every touch on the far-
reaching structure is telegraphed to her
by the communicating lines as faithfully
as il a nerve bad been touched, we must
admire the wonderful perfection to which
she has attained in the use of her cord.
By these means she is able to conquer
creatures too swift and strong for tier
and make them her prey. When we seo
her repairing damages, weighting her
light fabric in wiaily weather with peb
bles and sticks, ns a fisherman weights
bis not, or cutting loose a captive, wh >-e
great strength threatens the destruction
of the web, we begin to perceive that
this wonderful arachnid possesses reason
of a highly develops! kind."

Cloth From Ramie.
The first experiment in the manufac
ture of cloth from ramie in tbe United
States wav-made recently at the Sr/i Jose
(Cal.) wcolec milt. Mr. Murray, of the
department of ramie culture, bad been in
San Jose toy Several day* working up
the interest irr/be new textile fibre, aud
ibtbe coutjMfijif hi* work came in con-
«s, with/pdperintendent Burr of tho
woolen v imllt. The latter became in
fected with some of Mr. Murray's en
thusiasm, and it wes not long before
arrangements Were made for a practical
test of tbe tew weed. That test was
made, andfthe result is eminently satis
factory: The fibre was put through the
tame presses at the mills Us Shy othef
material used for making cloth. It went
ihrough the machines, was twisted intd
thread, and then a thread of wool and d
thread of ramie were twisted togctLer.
Being put ou the loom tbe machine was
started, and in a few minutes the cloth
begad slowly to unroll.
The fabric resultant frdm the process
was a strong; closely woven piece df
clotb, strong .and durable. Holding it
up to the light one could not eee through
It. The color of tbe cloth was a bluish
gray, tbe wool supplying the dark hnd the
ramie fibre the light portion. Ramie id
milch stronger than wool, is forty-one
times strohger tbao cotton and more
nearly approaches silk in this respeot
than any other material used in tho man
ufacture of' cloth. Thus it is evident
dial a fabric made of a mixture of wool
and ramie is far superior to a cotton and
wool mixture. The fiber, when ready
for tbe mills, is in bunches about live
ffiet Idrig, of a crearriy white Color and
has i iusiet like silk. It ban ire dyed
any color aud still retain its luster, and
hence can be used in the mamifiicture of
Silk-mixed weaves, making a fabric just
os good in every way but far cheaper
than.if silk,were used.
It will have the effect when it comes
into genera^use of cheapening all textiles
of this character, while giving a fabrio
better in looks and wearing qualities.
One of the big points claimed for ramie
is the ease with which it can be pro
duced aud the consequent big profit to
the producer. Ramiu is nothing more
nor less than a weed, and grows and
Ihcteases With the ptuliticness fur which
Weeds Hre noted: Tbe plant does nob

else will grow, and is especially valuable
on this account. It is claimed that three
crope a year can be secured, and at the
least calculation a profit of 1200 an aero
will pour into the pockets of the ramiu
cultivator. The field will not have to
be replanted for twenty years, for tho
plant* wilt grow and produce good fiber
for that length Of time,--Ban Francisco

RORAIMA’S BIG FLAT TOP
The Varied C»o or Slate.
Slate is a variety of rock, having s
small, compact grain, nnd a very fine,
continuous clonvago or splitting structure,
by which it can be separated into thin,
even places of great consistency. It was
originally just so much soft mud on the
floor of an ancient sea, but, iu the course
of ages it became consolidated, and tbeil
metamorplioied, or gradually altered in
character by the continued operation of
various natural forces, until its present
condition was attained. Tbe chief em
ployment of alate is commerce is that of
a rooBingrraaterial, for which purpose
it is better adapted than any other sub
stance that Juts yet been tried. School
dates are prepared in a very ilmple man-
uer from picked specimens of the com
mon roofihg-varlety, thoee of the Welsh
lerred to any other. The plate* which
are to be made into writing slates must
have a homogenous or finely grained and
equal texture, and be without auy yellow
pyrites or "slate diamonds," ns these
fiuiiliar glittering crystals are often
tornted. Attar they have been separated
from tbe other sorts they are carried to
workmen, who fashion them into school
slates, by first splitting them up evenly
if required, and then finely polishing
them even with specially adapted steel
tools. They are next sent to the joiners
to be fitted with woodon frames, after
which they are quite ready for the edu
cational markets at borne or abroad. One
workman can poliah or finish suoh a large
number of school slates in a day that the
profit to the slate master or company is
cousiderable, even if they are retailed at
prices as low as a penny or twopence
each.—Yantee Blade.
The Power of the lliv-rs.
The possibility of utilizing the current
of our rivers to furnish power on shore
has often beon a subject of spoculation.
There are few minds which have not rec
ognized the immense benefits that would
accrue from such an achiove nout if it
were possible; but the majority, both
lay and expert, liavo been accustomed to
accept the difficulties presented hy the
unreliability of the flow, the variation of
tho height of tho rivors and tho slight
fall as practically insuperable from the
engineering point of view.
An expert who refuses to be tied up
by precedent, however, declares his be
lief that these difficulties cau bo over
come. It says that it will be done half
a century hence, and the generation of
fifty yoars from now will stand amazed
at the wastefulness of this (lay. Tho
methods by which he would harness the
river—air tight drums on water wheels
commuuicatiug their power to dynamos
which generate electricity to be distrib.
uted for power and light ail over the
vicinity—do not appear to be as inher
ently improbable as those by which auy
of the inventions of the past were made
successful did before their success was
demonstrated by uctual practice.
Without waiting for the grand chil
dren of the next generation to achieve
this advance, it is safe to say that the en
gineer who can make it work in the
present day will coufer an immense ben
efit. It will create « zone of cheap elec
tric powrr and light along the bank of
every river and stream with a living cur
rent, aud revolutionize a great many of
the existing industrial institutions. It is
hard to draw a limit to the e i-ioges that
might not take place—when this po.vet
is successfully utilized.
But wu fear that any invention of this
sort will have to depend for its success
on adventitious aid to prevent the shrink
age of streams in summer to a beggarly
eighteen inches or two feet in depth
with no currout worth speaking of.—

Its Almost Inaccessible Sdtnmlt—t
Wall ot Kock 2000 l-'cet High—
What Explorers LV-uml.
OR tho first time whito men in
November last spent a night on
the summit of the famous Mount
Roramin, on the border of
British Guiana and Venezuela, a moun
tain Whose sdnirdit tot many vents was
supposed to be inaccessible. When Sir
Robert School berg discovered the moun-
tsin, he declared it was impossible to
reach its tdp eicept by balloon. Three
later explorets; Messrs. llrdWri, Whet-
ham and Whitley, Were eaget. td solve
the myatory of Mount Itoraima’s sdirlmit;
but all came home declaring that tho
.Upper 2000 feet of the great san lstonu
mountain was a perpendicular wall, and
they believed it to be impossible to gain
the summit. It was lelt for Mr. Ever-
ard Thurn to conquer Roraima. Ha
gained iti summit in Decomber, 1881.
He was so fortunato 0s td fin'd do ooe
face of tbe mountuiri a narrow ledge,
rather perilous df ascent, which afforded
a pathway to the summit.
The modntain Is about 8000 feet
above tho level of tho sea, blit the ex
plorer, when he reaches tho base of tho
percipitous ascent, is already 6000 feet
above tho sea. Tho explorer was not
able to carry up the mountain supplies
for a sojourn tbere^ and he was therefore
compelled to return to his camp on the
ame day. His collections, howc-cr,
made both on the mountain top and
around its base, were of much Value. It
bod been suppoeod thrt the flota Of the
mountain top would be found to bo dif
ferent from that of the plain. To some
extent this expectation was realized by
the discoveries of Mr. Thurn.
The mountain was not afterward
visited until November of last year,
when it was climbed by Mr. E Cromer
and Mr. Scyler, collectors of orchids.
They not only succeeded in reaching its
top, but they spent n night there, took
several photographs of the scenory, and
wandered over a considerable part of Ihe
surface, which stretcher back twelve
miles from tho face on which the assent
was uiade. The Indians felt the Oold at
the top df the mountain sn severely that
they were sent hick.
The two white men then explored tho
summit, finding toward the south rriany
gigantic and marvelously shaped rocks,
forming, as Mr. Biomer describes them,
“majestic palaces, churches and foit-
res8es. Other smaller rocks resemble
pyramids, umbrellas and kettles, and
one bore a stiiking resemblance to tho
statue of a man.” Batween these
gtotesqiie ttlasseS of took. Whose shape
is evidently due to weathering, thd rock
being of unequal hardnesta, Were in
numerable little lakes, some joined to
gether hy channels. Most of these lakes
were shallow, though here and there a
depth of six feet was found. Many new
species of orchids and other plauts were
found, but the mountain top seemed
nlmost destitute of animal life. The
discoveries included also one black
butterfly, a few spiders, some s nail fro.gt
and lizards, aud an unnamed dark-col
ored mammal, which on the approach of
the explorers gave n sound like a whistle
aud crept swiftly awuy into a hiding
place. Tho largest lake was 450 feet
wide, and all the lakes were swarming
with B sort of blnok beetle.
The general shape ot the top of the
mountain is that of a shallow dish. Tho
surface sinks somewhat away from tho
edges of the plateau. The general char
acter of all the plants is dwarfish and
almost Alpine. Everything at the sum
mit is in a state of super-saturation on ac
count of the constaut mitts aud the fre
quent heavy clouds and rain storms that
occur: Waterfalls pour over the edgo
of the summit in various places, and ono
fall which is fully 2000 foot high aud
has quite a largo volume of water is
probably the highest falls in the world.
Mount Roraima is one of the most re
markable natural objects to be found
anywhere. It is made for the most part
of Bolt sandstone, and the heavy winds
and storms are denuding it with consid
erable rapidity and fashioning the many
remarkable shapes of rock that are found
on the plateau at the too.
