Inl or'der to test wiat a spid-r 'pnl do in the way of eating. we arose :)(111 daybreak one nasruing, to supplv hi fine webt with : fiy. A t rst, h0W-| cv_r, t: -spid r did nut :o::.. fro!, his re.-.at. L WC pe.ped :uume thl leave:. and there discovered t!:.t a earwi h.ad been eaug.ht. and w s nw bein-o fCLsted on. The spid-r h-ft the carwig. rv*.'sd up tC fiv. returned to his "first course." This was at half-pst. five A. M. in Septem ber. At syveu A.

A little after nine A3 suppli hi with a daddy-lot)-legs, whi was t-i by wnoon. At oue Ocoka w fly was greedily seized, and with an ppetite, apparently no worse previous iudulgence, he commenced ou the blowfly. During the day, and t te eveaing. a great nany smali green flies. or what are popular ly termed medges had been caught in the web: of these we counted one hundred and twoutv ali de-ad. ztnd 'ast prisoners in the spider's uest. Soon after dark, provided with a Iant:r, we went to examine whether the spi der wis sufferiug from indigestou, orI in any other way from his previous meals; instead, however, of being thus aflected, he was employed in roll i1gY up together the various littLe green r:edges, which he then to)k to his retreat ard ate. This proce.-s he repeated carrying up the lots in little detachments, until the whole web was caten, for the web and its contents were bundled up together. A slight ra.t of about -: hour was folowed by the most industrious web-making pro cess, and before daybreak. another web was ready to be used in the same way. Taking the relative size of the spider and of the creatures it ate. and applying this to a wan, it wou!d be soMewhat- as follows : At daybreak, a sma1 -lligator was eaten; at seven A. M. a lamb: at nine A. M. a camel leopard; at ofie o'clock a sheep; and durmg the night one hundred and twenty larks. This, we believe. w old be a.very fair allowance for one 7man during twenty-fou hours; and could we find ope gifted with such an appe tite and such a digegtion, we can readily col-preheud bow he mighnt spin five miles of web without killing himself,, provided he possessed t-c necessary machinery.
