the iegs are covered with stilfepißes, winch, il
a 1 Ise step should lie made, catch in the
threads, and prevent a heavy fall. With these

many liieinliers more or le>- unlike. Each

there are apinnereta devoted '■■■ that particular
kll id bf thread; for, as we hate seen, there are
varieties ol thread, aud varietiesof spinnerets
are-I in it r ,<n milters of course. When th ■

line of the thinnest possible gum-i;auc,
whk'hhurdeae as it iseues; but the glutinous
threads, with those little peat ly drops of vis
cid glue on them, never harden. They spoii,
however, sooner than llieoihei s, and must of
ten be renewed. They are very numerous;
87gMU having been counted iv the net of a gai
deii-spider.ui average si/»—130,000ia a large nei
of from fonrteea to sixteen inches la diameter.
Va*. such a net can be made tn three-quarters of
an hour, while the accidents to be repaired and
decayed strand :o be renewed arc endless, ons
species [Csantsss h/rujr) is an iiiiincu.-oly good
hou-e-wile iv ibis way, and ia perpetually re
newing part of her habitation and outworks.
She ca tehee ber prey, not from any viscidity
or gumming Hi her threads, but, like the
house-spider, by the extreme fineness of li'-r
net, which the legs and bet of the
curious creatures whe come prowling too near
ber domain. lint though she has uo glue
thread, like so many others, she has two kinds
of thread as well as the rest: one. llieordmary
spider's thread ; the other, a pale blue aagsag
thread, complicated structure, which is at
tached to the rest in loops or fasciculi, extreme
ly latul to Hies by entangling with their exter
nal inequalities.
As spiders make various kinds of webs, so
do ibey live 111 all sorts of houses; Indeed,
there is as much difference between these a.
there is between aiJothic castle aud an Italian
villa, beiweeu aSwi-s csniei and a wigwam tii
Tierradel Fungs. Some, the Laitkricola, who
hide in hole* mid fissures, furnish their sub
terrai.ean burrows With a.-t!keu lining, iiiauii
tacturiug also a close-littit.g dour ol cemented
earth which they line with ths same silken ta
pestry as that hung round the walls, and
wbicb, falling down by its own weight, can
be kepi close shnt by 1 means of strong stays
and rope*, in tbe Braxillan forests may be
found a pretty little spider belonging to this
group tMygnle tdmatmria,) which makes a case
for itself, which it suspends 111 the middle of
its web, hanging to it ths moot admirable
apring-door imaginable. Others of the same
species are euoiiuous fallows', one, the My tale
aveecueaeah, at least two inches long, and with
feet tbat measure a full toot from point to
point of tbe standing-place. This euormotis
creature is said, by some naturalists, to eat
humming-birds, but others again assort ilium
does not do so, aud tbat when one has been
placed in its hole, it has run away and hidden
itself. Then there are the tubteofo who live at
tbe bottom of silken tubes, whence they spy
out tor tlieir prey, as it passes humming near
the cruel cave. There are (he celticoUt. who
dwell in small cells, tieimit like; tbe nrrxsrts,
Who run *o catch their ptwy, like the wolf
spider ; the lyevsux, who hides under clods of
earth, ihen darts oui wnli the ferocity and
awifinesa of iis four-footed namesake, and de
vours iv victim wlthdiagnstlagavidity; ihere
are thneeMster**, who spring to seize their
prey; and the iatertamdir, who run or walk
Bidewaysor back wards—any tbing but straight
forwardly— after their.-, occasionally throwing
nut long threads u> trip up the unwary. Tlit-re
ure the n ltteirr, who spread long floating silken
thread*about tbeptaces where they prowl;
the tnpiteia, who sj in thick webs like ham
mock-cloths; the issTlifa, who weave webs of
regular open texture, like the garden spiders,
the epetia.; the retitetit, who makeau irregulai'
open mesh-work, like the house-spider; and
lastly, there are the ««/*»< iei,t, who swim in the
water, and east out silky fHamenta to entrap
their prey. One wa* actually seen in the fens
of Norfolk on a raft of iv own making. This
was a bait oi weeds of about throe inches in
diameter, and probably kept together by
means of strong silken cords; and on this raft
aat tbe nautical Raw head and ltloody Hones
ot that pond, mulling down iuto the water
whenever be»aw a drowned or drowning m
aect, and dragging the body up ou his raft, to
devour it at hi* ea»e and leisure. Some roll
themselves spiv the leaves of planuaud
&, Bowers, others lurk behind stones, or in holes
EL nnd under loosened bark ; others again, bide in
Huh* calyx of dead flowers, aud theuce spring
upon such files as come iv search of honey ;

We come now to ths foot, which lias been so I
lonjr a vexed question among naturalists, so j
long tbe battle-field of all sorts of opposing
ti.l iries. First, n fly*a foot was an exhausted
receiver ur sucking-pump, and held on to glass
and other smooth things against gravity and
Newton's apple by reason of atmospheric
pressure: then it was a self-actii.g glue pot,
aad at each -tcp gave out a dab ot glue or gi.m
whlcb fastened it, like a Nuremberg cow, with
all six legs well gummed down; then it was
an assemblage of grappling-irons, which book
ed on lo.ili tbe small inequalities lobe found
even ta glass or marble: and now, it is a com
promise of all these modes and theories : wbicb
is perhaps the safest kind of thing to make,
when treating of natural history and micro-]
se .pic revelations. In Ibe first place, we Bee
—always nnder tbe microscope— two movable
craws, like cows'horns, by which the fly can
book himself on to any microscopic rocks or
ledges that may preseat themselves; then we
si .-a patrol pads, shaped not unlike the head
