The Spi1,rs Secret. For a long time the web of the sPic er was supposed to be a simple stran of wavy silk, but later it. was foun that such was far from being th case. Under the microscope we can g( at the secret of the spinniing very niCE 9y. We see that there are either fou or six teats on the spider near th lower part of the abdomen, almost e3 actly similar to the teats of a cov From these issue four or six strand as the case may be, but these strand themselves are not simple, but ar composed of at least a thousand fit ers each, for it has been proven tha in each teat there is a sieve of at lear % thousand holes through which th silky matter is strained. Thus w see that fine as is a spider's web j is yet composed of from four to si thousand fibres. Leuwenhoeck state that it would take at least four mil Son of the completed threads to mak a thread as strong as a silk threid c the size of a hair. Ho7,ver, there are some tropica spiders that spin threads known t be very strong; so strong, in fact, a to be able to catch and hold hummin birds. As to the color of the thread, ou ordinary spiders spin one of a uniforr gray color; but in the riotous tropic there are found spiders that spin vari eolored webs. One particularly pro dues red, yeillw and black thread which it binds together with a pl?as Ing color effect. In the thread of the spider lies dor wiant a great industry once it is prop erly studied. Numerous attempt have been made to utilize the thread for cloth to make clothes, etc. A] have been so far doom,,d to failure anyhow, as a financial proposition. I is related that Louis XIV had a dres -made from spiders' web, but whic] was so fragile that he became dis gusted with it. The entomologist D'Or biny had made for himself a pair o trousers from the webs of tropica spiders which lasted for a long time. It would seem that even if the we, was too fragile to make the fabric en 4irely from, it could be mixed wit] silk or something equally strong ani Droduce a new and gorgeous materia for our present day goddesses.
