A knock in the head was suffi- | cient to settle them, and before wih every person that could walk had his or her pile of dead seals awaiting transfer to the shore from Cape Deros- jers and Lanse au Griffin to Fouril- lon. In Gas] there were over 4,000 killed, and one riest had 300 to his credit. Along the north shore, from Cape Tiennot to the Mingan Isles, there were 3,000 taken, and in the Hs- gijmass Isles the slaughter was fear- ul. On Anticosti the greatest num- ber were taken at Point au Lepinette, where the shores are still heaped with the carcasses awaiting skinning and boiling down. The son of the Ent house = kee; at Point Cormorant killed 450 seals, and lost 100 of them because he could not get them ashore before night set in, when it ° dangerous to.go on the ice.

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon and India there is a spider that spins a web like bright yellow silk, the con- tral net of which is five feet in diam- eter, while the supporting lines, or guys, as they are called, measure some- fimes ten or twelve feet long; and viding quickly in the early morning you may dash' right into it, the stout threads twining round your face like a lace veil; while as the creature who has woven it takes up his position in the middle, he generally catches you ight on the n hou sel- er een his large body and long legs is anythin but pleasant. If you forget yourse and to cateh him, bite he will, and, though not venomous, his jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak, and you are n8t likely to forget the en- counter. The bodies of these spiders are very handsomely to being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate colored fur. Bo strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerfully scaled lizard falls a victim, Often have I sat and watched the yellow or scarlet monster, measuring, when waiting for his prey with his legs stretched out, fully six inches, strid- ing across the middle of the net, and noted the rapid manner in which he winds his stout threads around the un- fortunate captive. He usually throws the coils about the head, till the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle you come across most perfect skeletons of small birds, caught in these terrible snares, the strong folds of which prevent the delicate bones from fallmgz to tho pou after the wind and weather ave dispersed the flesh and feathers, --Rare Bits, The Cobrn's Revenge.
