[of on tfie principle of a common p*?
rentage. The spiders, when extracted, are
slUFoorn, and ha^considerable mucus attached
to them?and sfroedical gentleman tells us
^ that he himself took out several of the spiders,
W in tin's state, and, on one occasion, they was
extracted, from such a depth in the lower
cavity of the eye, that it took, a long time to
find tfre object of search, a ball of crushed
v web^esembllng a cocoon, containing some''
:thing like a larva, but that he was not a suffi
* ciont entomologist to determine this last fact
The eyes of the person, before being handled
to disengage the spiders from the occular nidus
or cradle are suffused with tears, and exhibit
much redness and inflamation, so much so as
* " - - - Tt,?
to render leaching necessary, ai tunes. ? no
insects are found imbedded under both the
upper and Idror lids, and thetr presence in
the former is indicated by a pain in the forehead,
just over the eye, and in tho latter, by
a pain in the cheek bone, just under the eye.
We are possessed of no other facts in relation
to tins extraordinary case; and however
nearly a spider may be alHed to a bug, we
assure our readers we are attempting no
humbug. The respectable physicians who,
have witnessed the phenomenon, are completely
posed?they suspect, but they cannot
detect?and they are unable to perceive in
the case either the motive or the mode of im.
position.
We have heard ono plausible theory in solution
of the mystery.*". It is attributed to
hysterib, excessive n^rvoys sensibility, brought
into full probably, from the ffrtual crush
ingoi a spider in the eye, 'producing an anoraofous
state oh the nervous system, "which is
very apt to create or eggendfer such phenomena.
Tho physical difficulties, however, in the way of
this hypothesis, arc bar j to surmount, a? no one
can seemingly place rthcse.f#pidors in the eye,
without mutilating or Crushing them, and, fn
this case, they arc extracted entire.
