Spider responds to music during organ and violin performances
A London organist notes a spider sways down on a single thread whenever he plays, then vanishes when the music stops. The effect occurs with soft or loud music. In Leipzig a spider showed a similar reaction to violin music, dropping during solos and retreating when the music ends. A separate line states twenty three ocean vessels can be loaded simultaneously with grain at a rate of 450,000 bushels each.
