Spider Kills Cat
A spider and a cat fought a duel in a London warehouse—and the spider won. The spider was a tarantula, newly arrived from Honduras in a crate of bananas delivered to a firm of Oovent Garden importers, while his opponent was a stray tom, unlucky enough to be walking in tho ncighbouhood at the time. A porter was unpacking tho crate when the spider jumped out. He tried to catch it, but it took great great jumps across the floor and tho cat, seeing it, tried to be playful'. Ho was promptly bitten and died within an hour. .
