SPIDER SILK.
Nearly Two Centuries Since Attempts

Pliilnd,lphla Times.

Ii was reported some time ago that at Il
ball in South America the mistress Of the
house wore Il dress made of spider silk.
Ii is nearly two centuries Since "A French
scientist made the first attempt t. utilize
this silk. 4 certain NJ. Bon sent To the
Academy OF Sciences some init tens n nd soc ks
of spider silk. and Reaumur wa requested to
examine these articles and make a report.
There was no disputing the fact that the
articles were genuine, but Reaumur showed
conclusivcly that The game was not worth
the candle"
II took ninety spider threads to equal in
strength one silk thread and so to make
a thread strong enough for sewing pur-
poses. Moreover, it took twice as many
spiders to eproduce a given quantity of silk.
And to produce one pound of silk 2S, 600
cocoons would have been required.
Reaumur recommended that spiders in
warmer countries could he experimental on.
This suggestion was carried out by the
Able de Termeyer. in Brazil. He pursued
his object for thirt y-four years, but with
very poor results.
A few years ago an English ma nufa cturer
obtained some large. tropical spiders, and
kept them in a room heated to Il tempera-
ture OF so degrees: into this room he caused
10 slowly evaporate a liquid composed of
,hloroform, ether and alcohol. The result
was far more favorable than that hitherto
obtained. but as the cost of the silk was
nearly 81 so a pound. il cannot he Sa id that

SILVER BICYCLES.

Demand Springing Up for Wheels to
Cost From $500 TO 81 900.
A New York firm has something new
for wheelmen in silver bicycle. which was
put on exhibition at their store today, says
. New York h'legra. The wheel is the first
or the kind ever made. In order to insure
strength and durability, ii was necessary
to have the supporting rods and spokes of
steel. All the rest or the frame is OF ster-
ling silver. The -handie-bar is of plain sill
yer, with Furnished ivory handles. The
other silver parts are finely engraved by
hand. with repousse etching of the Louis
XVI style. The sprocket wheel is or plain
silver. The saddle itself is studded with Sill
Yer nails. The cost of the machine as IL
stands is $500. A silver lantern is TO go
with it and will add from 81 to $500 to
the price.
The completed wheel weighs about TWEEN
ty-six pounds. A member of the company
said, in explaining the construction OF the
new bike: This wheel was built to sup
ply "a demand which we know TO exist among
some of our patrons for better and more
expensive wheel than can DE bad on the
market at present. Such wheel we have
tried to make. and l believe that another
season will see many OF them at the ash
ionable resorts
woman's wheel is being finished in the
firms shops This wheel will be much more
richly ornaincnted, and its price will be
81 900. A lantern, which is being made to
go with IL, will be set with precious stones
and Will cost several hundred dollars.

CURIOUS INDIAN CUSTOM
What Is Meant by Smoking Horse

What Is Meant by smoking Horses
Among Some Western Tribes.
A curious method or obtaining horses is
practiced by some of the Indian tribes. 1t is
called on the plains smoking horses" If a
tribe decides TO send out war party the
/ first thing to he thought OF is whether there

other Indians, they decide to smoke"
enough horses for present needs and to
steal n supply from their enemies at the
first opportunity, says the Philadelphia
Times.
When this decision is reached runner is

Every normally constituted man ana
woman wants to look well. This Is nat
ural and right. We have little sympathy
for those people who through Incidence
or gluttony have permitted themselves 10
take on TOO much flesh. They know That
by living abstemiously and taking plenty
of exercise. they can get back to their
normal weight.
We do. however. have a great deal
OF sympathy for those poor. pale thin
sufferers. who either have no appetite
or else whose food dlstresses them TO
such degree that they are forced
TO live on a most frugal diet.
Going into a decline How OFTEN 90
we hear this expression. what does

and when the stomach is out OF order
and fails to do its proper work, ioods
are worse than useless. They simply
