SPIDERS AS AIRSHIPS.
Spiders cannot actually fly, btrt the
young of many species aro excellent
aeronauts. When, on some 5111110101's
day, these little adventurer's prepare
to start, they stand on a high point
of vantage, facing the wind, Then
the tip of the tail is raised, and lit-
tle spinnerets emit threads 0111011 aro
caught and carried .by the breeze.
These vary in length with iho weight
of the spiders, and aro buoyant
enough to bear their owners aloft
Roma considerable distance. Tho gut-
tering filaments which are thus spun,
and ultimately settle on the ground
and bushes, are familiar to its all as
"gossamer," and ,aro produced by
many species of tlheeo most interesting
insects. Some spiders, again, are ex -
poet leapors. A beautiful example of
this sort has been fou:ud at Sydney,
New South Wales, it ]las a curious
flap on 0111101' side of its body, which
can be extended liken 11110 or para-
chute, Aided by this, it can readily

THE BANNER ROUTE.
There is nothing more assuring to
the traveler titan his knowledge of
tho fact that he is traveling on a
firm roadbed, upon which is laid the
heaviest of steel rails, made true in
all their carves, and that the train
which carries him is of the highest
standard of excellence known to rail-
roads and is being guided to its des-
tination by experienced minds. 'These
aro the conditions which become -ap-
parent to the frequent traveler on
The Wabash Lino, and which have
made that lino justly famous. The
