"It is a wonderfully lucid and thoroughly 

 systematic presentation of the elements of 

 knowledge in the seven departments named 

 It does not attempt too much in any one, hut 

 eacli is a remarkable example of condensation 

 withoui the sacrifice of clearness or tliorougk- 

 ness. There is a profusion of small illustrations 

 which will be found helpful by pupils."— C/ffcof/w

 DOOK SlTDEll 

 Our cut is a 

 vei-y good one 

 ^:of the subter- 

 laneuu home 

 of the Mygalc

 nest is closed 

 ^with a v/ater- 

 tlght trap- 

 door, h-.'Ving 

 elastic 

 hinge, i!ie oui- 

 side mimicking 

 the sou around 

 rlt. When the 

 spider suspects 

 danger It closes 

 Itself Into II s 

 home and 



grasps the low- 

 er side of thi- 

 all its enemies. 



The t.-u-antula nest is one of tlie most curious as 

 well as wonderful pieces of insect mechanism 

 known. Hnd is a valuable addition to any cabin- 

 et. The ones v.e offer were collected in Southern 

 California. Western dealers charge from 7.5 cts.
