tinued to wind off on the bobbin until the
spider had been completely deprived of
its web. Then another spider, and still
another, were treated in the same way,
Until enough thread had been wound off
to fill the bobbin, when a new one was
put on the machine and the process re
peated. When sufficient quantity of
the web had been collected to make a
thorough test of it's fitness for manufac-
turing purposes the thread was woven
into fabric. 1t WAS found to be the finest
quality of silk, and experts to whom it
was submitted declared it to possess q
particularly high market value.
M. Cachot claimed and received the re-
ward from the British manufacturers,
and has exhibited the new fabric in many
of the large manufacturing cities of Eng
land and the continent, where this ex
cited the liveliest interest.
III. Cachot has arranged to begin the
manufacture of spiders web silk on a
large scale, and has taken factory in
Paris for the purpose. Here he will keep
his spiders and will work them at regu-
lar hours. When spider is used up he
will be fed and petted back to condition
again, while another will take his place
on the bobbin. An expert who knows all
about the habits of the insect will be
placed in charge of the spider department.
of the factory, and it will be his business
fed and housed, and provided with every
thing that puts spider in good humor
with himself and all the world.
NJ Cachot has advertised for spiders
and will purchase as many as are brought
to him, thus giving the world an entirely
new industry, in addition to that of the
SPIDERS silk-the industry of spider
catching. If the supply exceeds the de-
Inand NJ. Cachot says he Will study the
different varieties of insect life with a
view to finding OUT which produces the
finest quality of silk, and will gradually
weed ont those that are not blessed with
q fine web He will also experiment with
various diets to ascertain whsther or not
it is possible to train the spider to give
forth web that is an improvement on
the ordinary product. He declares that
he is only on the edge of his discoveries
in the spider web industry, and intends
TO continue his experiments until he has
secured a quality of silk that will eclipse
anything that has hitherto been turned
out from any looms in the wor Id.
