Balloon Ropes From Spiders Webs.
The manufacture of balloon ropes
from spiders webs, for the military
aeronautic section of the French army,
Is announced as an accomplished In.
dustry. In operation at Chalais-Meu-
don. near Paris, and is an object of OK
IRENE interest not alone to eutomolo-
glsts. The insects are kept diligently
active in certain routine of move
mcnt, each one being required to spin
some 80 or 40 yards of thread before il
Is allowed to have Il rest. The method
of achieving such result may we'll be
characterized as an example of French
ingenuity. Twelve spiders are placed
above Il reel. to which their threads are
attached, and the reel, being gently re-
Volyed, winds off the thread as fast as
the little spinncrs are able to produce
it. Eight of the sets of thread thus
brought to pass, after being carefully
washed to rid them Of their sticky out
err covering, are then as carefully
woven into cords. The latter are de-
Clared to be both stronger and lighter
than the silken cords which have hith-
erto been used by balloonsts, the great
drawback being their necessarily ex-
IRENE cost.
