Spider round in the Itipfuiiiv

If there Is uny one thing more than
another that will make the cold shivers
run the gamut of a mun's vertalra- It
Is the sight of that entomological mon
strosity a teruiitula. As an exiierle-iioe
of the above kind Is not ultegether un
desirable In these days of nuiiiol'ii'ul
elungutloti the reader Is respectfully re
ferred to the ollice window of l 1.
WVBtnan & Cominy's fruit house. No.
12 Lackawanna avenue., where can Be
seen two specimens of this king of in
sects, one a genuine teiantnla, the other
a "banana spider" which is a member
of the teiantnla family, but smaller
than and somewhat different In ap
pearance to the genuine "trantTr," as
the Aiiznnluii would designate It.
Both came In bunches of bananas,
the big one being captured in Nv
York ns a fruit steamer vvns helnfr un
loaded and the other being found in
a bunch of bananas that was ripening
In the banana room of Wegmnn's store.
They are kept In a cage made of glass
and wire and fed on tiles anij other in
sects. BELONGS TO SHlDF.lt FAMILY.
The tarantula belongs to the spider
family and the variety found in the
southern states is classified us a hunt
ing or wolf-sidder. The tarantula, is
the largest, most combative und aggres
sive of all Insects.
The American tarantula, belongs to u
different family from that of Southern
Kurope. It Is larger und its bite more
painful ami deadly than the Kuropfun
Insect.
The tarantula, properly speaking, is
a giant spider, sometimes measuring1
four inches iu length. It is fawn colored
above with while sides marked with
w hitish lines. It has four pairs of well
develoied legs In addition to the man
dibles or Jaws, which contain the m1s
on apparatus. These ure grooved and
the poisonous secretion, which Is simil
ar In composition to the venom of
snakes, is contained In 11 gland at the
base of the mundlbles nnil Is fori'i-d
through the grooves when tlie spider
Is angry and fcrusps its victim, much
the same as in the case of the rattle
snake. Tin- body and legs are thickly
covered with hair.
IT IS VF.UY 1'AINFI'L.
Although the bite or the tarantula
can hardly be classed as deadly, it is
nlwuNS extremely painful and has proli-
utily In souiccaseseiiused death. Not lolif?
ago a New York longshoreman was re
ported to huve died from a tarantula
bile, but there were complicating 'ir
I'Utnstunces. The tarantula Is remarkable for Its
lieiveiiess and its extraordinary swift
ness. Hy the use of its eight long and
vigorous legs it fairly Hashes over the
ground, and as the legs are sharp and
prehensible It can run up a perpen
dicular surface with euse und rapidity.
It lives on mice jmd Insects.
