SILK Dress Made from Spider Web.

six Dress Made from Spider Web.
one Of the ~curiosities of the Paris
exhibition of 1900 will be a silk dress
made entirely of silk manufactured
from the spiders web. This silk was
made in Madagascar under the direc-
ton OF the Jesuit, Father Cambue,
and will not be exhibited merely as a
curiosity, but in order to show the
practical use to which the big Mala-
gasy spider, known as the black spider.
may be put. Father Cambue has been
devoting himself for the last two
years to solving the problem of util-

the spider. He has found in the NAL
agasy black spider a subject of prac-

colony of spiders spinning the cocoon.
The silk is much finer and lighter

Cambue says that the black spider is
not at all pleased when put to spin
the cocoon, but that when well fed
and supplied with plenty Of drink, it
can spin a really enormous quantity
of thread. The spider is very fond of
native brandy, and spins best when
