each composed ola great number Of other
flamcnts inconceivably small, which unite
as they are spun out. Mr.. Lewenhorck
says there are sometimes not less than tour
hundred small threads uniting together to
form the last thread. The reason OF this
division of the yiscious matter into such mi
mute hlaments, he states to be, that it might
by such minute division acquire Immediate
solidity by contact with the air, and also
that the thread might possess tiexlbllity
for he adds, ..as the spiders web to the max
ed eye, appears single, yet consists OF
great number of other threads, aud thereby
acquires greater strength; We may from
hence conclude that no flexible bodies, ex-
cept metals, can attain to any degree OF
strength, unless they consist OF long united
parts, and the more these parts arc twisted
or cemented together, the stronger they are,
which is very OBVIOUS in fax, slkcn threads,
ropes, &c. And thus also flalr or wool, &C
cordng TO It's fneness, has more or less
strena IN, because cash OF these HAIR consists
of longer and finer parts, which are united
By vlscious mattSr. Il is necessary, he
observes, 20 MAKE thread SO Stsong anu
thick as those of the spiders web, with ]
the vicious matter thrown out OF the AMI
MATS body, that it sfoulG be divided into a
great number of small threads, to be nnme-
diately consolidated by lne air. Que nun
dled Of these small threads will not make
one hundredth part the thickness OF single
hair OF the head.
