Very soon he saw her; approaching nearer and nearer with movements that vividly recalled the...stalking of a bird by a eat. Both being upside down 1 was quite sure he would never manage it. However, I was so intent on watching the attitude of the hunter and hunted that I omitted to ob- serve a very important happening, indeed, the very thing that would explain what I wanted to know. In due time, doubtless when his 'fixed focus eyes -he has four by-the-by--- synochronised with his leaping pow- ers, he tirade his terrible leap, In- stantly both were struggling in the air, suspended by a thread. This, then, was the secret. He was --and this was what I did not notice - anchoring himself safely with a life- line before the attack. This holding firm, all the rest of the -struggle took place in mid-air. Then, with his fangs in the fly's neck, he regained the firm foothold. It was only then that I saw how, every few paces, the spinnerets at- tached the invisigle thread to the glass sq that no risks might be run. I could see the spinnerets perform the action; the thread I could not see, even under a powerful lens, so fine was it, yet so efficient, that it bore the weight' of the struggling com- batants immediately it was spun. On a horizontal surface this anchoring line would only be a hindrance, so that he must exercise a certain judg- ment in his procedure, measuring, as it were, all the risks involved in tine audacious leap into the air, He rare- ly misses once he gets into striking distance, This, however, is always just his difficuitY`.-The Scotsman. tit /at 1t ce, t a, m- o- r►g a0- 80 le lie re r- 10 0 00 le es al ]le ar 0 o 0 e s 0 t • 0 Y h e Value of ,Ooncenteates In Ration.
