A group of arachnidologists, interested in the tensile strength of spider silk, visited St. Charles's pumphouse, opined that the spider would win. Examination showed them that the spider was a male, which is usually devoured by the female after mating. As the struggle dragged into the end of its third week odds shifted again. Spider mating season was approaching...
