SPIDERS AND SILkNORMS.

IT 7 ONE time it was seriously pro-
IL posed to keep spiders for the silk
~ they would produce. Reaumer. the
L 4 scientist of thermometrical fame,
was appointed to make an ipyes-
tigation of the spider silk question. In his
report he said that he had found that .j04
silkworms would produce one pound of silk
in given time, AMI that he considered the
work OF IL spiders only equal to l silk
worm. At that rate 81 ,64S spiders would
do no more than 2,304 silkworms. Fur
thermore, it was found that there are
5000 separate filaments in a single spider
thread, and that the males are not work
ers. After summing up his investigations
he found that 80, ,286 spiders would have
to be kept in order to get as much silk
as 2, 80 silk worms would produce. That re-
port was the deathblow to the proposed
spider silk industry. st. Louis Republic.
