The

CANNIBAL SPIDERS.

Bride Spends Day Eating Mate.

Some tropicalspiders have been setting up records at the Zoo, says & London zoological writer.

Three venomous giants, former ly known as bird-eating spiders, birt Dow officially christened banana spiders, recently arrived from Covent Garden, where, as is often the case, they were dis- coveted in a banana crate.

Another record has been pro- vided by a large tropical house- spider-also a banana-crate stow- away-which, for the first time: in the history of the Gardens, arrived with a batch of eggy (numbering about 200, as is customary.)

These have all hatched out, and With high hopes for the future, the prolific progeny were so suc a pair were installed in a roomycessful in solving the difficulties

The widower was given a day to get over his grief and then the Isecond female to comfort him.
