silk FROM SPIDER WEBS.
How The Little Creatures Are
Forced To Spin.
A Madagascar Industry.

The dream Of making silk from the
threads spun by spiders has been made
a reality. An ingenious man has pei :.
fected method 90 simple that it was
possible to put it into operation almost
at once. and the silk woven from the
threads has already been put on the
market.
It Is more beautiful than the ordinary
silk, possessing a strange, glowing. old
gold luster in it's natural state, Under
the microscope the seperate threads
lock more like fine gold wires than fib-
ers.
The price of the spider silk still is too
high for its use by any except the rich,
but there appears to be little reason to
doubt that with good commercial man
agement it can be made as cheaply as,
if no more SO than, the silk that is OBJ
tanned from the mulberry worms.
The experience of the manufacturers
so far has shown that the silk can be
obtained profitably from many different
spiders. says the Chicago Tribune. In
the present stage Of the industry, how
ever, it Is found most practicable to con-
fine the work to large spider indigo
nous to the Island Of Madagascar, be-
cause this arachnid not only is remark.
ably plentiful and easily fed. but
wonderfully productive. A record has
been established in its case Of 5000
yards of thread having been obtained
from one specimen in one spinning.
The spider utilized for the purpose
is a large one. known under the scien-
tific name OF Nephila Madagascarien-
sis. For many years the natives of
Madagascar have known Of the fine
silky quality of its product, but their
work has been confined to using the
cocoons In which the females wrapped
their eggs. These cocoons are OF a
beautiful pale yellow, and they were
gathered in great quantities and the
silk was spun crudely, in a man
ner similar to the way in which silk is
spun from the cocoons Of the silkworm.
But this method was slow and labor.
icus. besides being unsatisfactory, for
the fine fbers were more or less bruised
while being unraveled and thus lost
much of their gloss. Besides that. the
thread 80 epun was uneven, and often
the tangle in the cocoon was 30 great
that no continuous fiber could be OBJ.
tanned.
There was Catholic missionary in
Madagascar who saw the great possible
ities in the industry and realized that
improved methods would mean great
deal to the natives. So he devoted his
time to study Of the spider.
One day be was Watching one of the
big fellows spin his web, and the solu-

fash. "Why watt thought he, until
the spiders spin their cocoons? Why
not take the thread directly from them?'
From that the rest followed natural
ly. He discovered by experiment that
it was perfectly feasible to draw the
threads out of the glands. Then he
studied and planned until at last he
perfected an apparatus as simple as it
was ingenious.
He has named it the "guillotine." !"
This guillotine, however, is not intended
to cut the head off the spider. 1t is
simply sort of strait.waistcoat, which
holds the savage creature so firmly that
it can neither bite nor wrigsle until the
glands haye been denuded OF their pre-
cious contents. Then the victim is re-
leased without damage, to be fed and
cared for until the operation can be re.
peated.
The guilotiAe consists of frame di.
vided into any prescribed number of
little square compartments. each just
large enough to hold one spider and
permit free manipulation. At the bot.
tom CT each compartment are two small
hinged doors that swing toward each
other, and each of the little doors has
tiny semicircular place cut into it,
exactly like the recess that is cut into
the head piece Of the guillotine to re.
ceive the neck of the victim. Thus,
when the little doors are shut, there re.
mains a small hole that will just hold
the thorax of the spider firmly without
inJuring it.
The spider is fastened in the guillo-
tine in such a manner that the head
with the wicked jaws and legs, is out
side, while the harmless abdomen, with
the spinning glands, is inside, where
the operator can get at it with complete
ease.
The doors can be shut more or less
