" Why spiders threads have been Seen floating in

om. Cuivis dolori remedium, est patientia. —Anfwer
The more any body is comminuted or made small,
the more its furface is extended. Perhaps a spider's
thread has the greatest furface for its weight of any
thing else. Now bodies swim on fluids in propor
tion to their fui face, and tiat which has the greatest
will float upon the lighted fluid, the spider's thread
has the largest furface, and when disengaged by
winds or otaer accidents, floats upon the lighted
fluid, which is air, or according to Derham, are
exhaled by the fun with other vapours.
