The Crablike Spider That Poses as Yuecatan’s Weather Sharp. ~ In Yucatan, a land of many curtosities, there is a living barometer in the form. of a small spider, called ‘am’ on account of the effect produced by Its poison. As far as its own conduct goes, the insect is inoffensive and can be handled with impunity, but if anybody has the misfortune to: get one mysteriously mixed with his food he is certain to die after a-few hours and meanwhile for some unexplained reason will frequently ejaculate “Am, am, am!” hence the name of the spider. Throughout the peninsula this is affirmed to be a fact, and if an am falls into fodder of horses or mules the animal that swallows it surely dies. This spider is shaped like a crab, minus the claws, and is of a bright yellow color, with brown spots; the biggest could be accommodated upon a silver dime. Its favorite abode is among the leaves of the banana shrub, commonly, but erroneously, called tree. There it spins with extreme rapidity, considering the size of its architect, and proceeds to devour the files that are unlucky enough to get entangled in the meshes of this astonishing Httle glutton, that is not satisfied with less than a dozen a-day—that is to say, it consumes a good deal more than its own bulk. Its progeny 1s numerous and appears at first like more black specks, smaller than the smallest pin’ head, The sky may, be blue and doasiens when suddenly the am commen taking in its sails, or, rather, gathering in fts net, .with neatness a dispatch, cramming the whole the material into its diminutive entirely out of sight.
