Spiders That Fish.
It has been thought u wonderful
thing that u dog has caught tish, but
more wonderful as a fisherman is a
spider that Is found in South Africa.
It measures four Inches across with
legs stretched out. It places Itself
at the edge of the water with two
of its legs on a pebble or stone and
the other legs spread out on the wa
ter. As the spider sits motionless,
a tish comes swimming alone under
the spider's outstretched legs. which
are then suddenly thrust down into
the water, closed around the fish. and
the spider makes a downward plunge,
driving its fangs into it. At once
the spider climbs out on its pebble 01
stone and devours the fish.

Dredging Keeps
Of Gold
Gold dredging has declined rela
tively lt% than ot!i*r forms of Hac
er mining: partly because some of
the dr^dg^rs ar0 working very
rich ground Partly because the in
vestments in this form of industry)
are so large that many companies
continue operations even with very
sma!l Profit!;. In 1919 there were,
28 dredgoe operating in Alaska
which produced gold worth $100000
in 1920 there were 22 dredges oper
ated A'fclch produced gold worth $
1020000. The relative efficiency of
.gold a;edging compared with other
method3 of Placcr mining is illustra
ted by the fact thnt in 1920 about
300 men or 16 Percent of Ih® total,
placer miners emplojfcd in Al&ska
produ-ed ?1020000 or 2S percent of
tho tot^l placer gold mincd.
