Forcing spiders to Spin.

Certain green ants IN Queensland,
which also make their nests OF leaves
and flowers spun together, are said to
keep spiders to spin for them. Whether
these latter do it spontaneously or re.
quire to be held as the larvae Of the
other species does not seem TO have
been determined. In the devices of
these ants there is surely one Of ma
lures hints TO human inventors. Since
the days of the spider artist In the
University of Lagado, spider silk has
been dream. The difficulty of It's re.
aliZation has been chiefly the pugna-
cious nature of the spider, which pre-.
vents their being kept together. But
a machine has been invented which
seems to overcome the difficulty. 1t is
described as a sort OF frame contain
ing twentyfour miniature guillotines,
the blunt knives of which descend on
the waists Of the spiders and hold
them fast. A number of the threads
are secured together on u hook and
slowly drawn out.--London Globe
