The Giant Spider of ccy,on.

Far up In the mountains of Ceylon
there is gigantic spider which spins
bright yellow web. each thread being
almost as large and strong as button
hole twist" or embroidery floss. The
net which this creature forms from
these webs is often five to eight feet
across. This net is swung on main
stays or guys which nre from ten to
twcnty-lv feet In length and strong
enough to call the pedestrian to halt
as suddenly as II he had encountered u
low hanging clotheslinc. These yellow
webs are collected by the natives as
we'll rs by Dutch and English residents
and woven into pretty mats. screens,
etc.
