Ill 
HOW SHE FINDS OUT THINGS IN THE 
WORLD 
HEN you remember Mrs. 
Kpeira’s eight feet, her four 
jaws, and her numerous 
claws, you will not be surprised to 
learn that this extravagant little lady 
possesses no less than eight eyes. 
Hight eyes ought to enable one to 
see very well indeed, but the truth is 
that all Mrs. Epeira’s eyes are not 
of so much service to her as your two 
are to you. ‘They are so small that at 
first glance you are inclined to believe 
she has no eyes at all. A closer look 
reveals the dainty jewels set tastefully 
in the front part of her cephalo-thorax.
