WONDERFUL SILK OF SPIDER
Wlthstands Hest That Cracks Lenses
OF a Mlcrometer

~ = ''Si
The astronomer after the exper.
fence of many years has found that
the spider furnishes the only thread
which can be successfully used in
carrying on his work.
The spider limos mostly used are
from one-hfth to one.seventh OF a
thousandth Of an inch in diameter,
and, in addition to their strength and
elasticity. they have the peculiar
property OF withstanding great
changes of temperature, and often
when measuring the sun spots, al.
though the heat is so intense as TO
crack the lenses of the micrometer
eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not
in the least injured.
The threads of the silkworm, al.
though OF great value as a CONNER.
cial product, are so coarse and rough
compared with the silk OF the spider
that they cannot be used in such in
struments.
Spider lines, although but frac-
ton of a thousandth OF an inch in
diameter, are made up OF several
thousands of microscopic streams OF
fluid, which unite and form a single
line, and II is because Of this that
they remain true and round under
the highest magnifying power.
An instance OF the durability OF the
spider lines Is found at the Allegheny
observatory, where the same set OF
lines in the micromoter OF the transit
instrument has been In use since
1879

Otto of Roses.

Otto or altar of roses is the frag.
rant, volatile, essential oil extracted
from the petals Of roses and is obtain.
ed by distilling the flowers with water.
Essential oils are so-called on account
of their possessing in a concentrated
form the odor characteristic of the
plant or vegetable substances from
which they are obtained-being as IL
were the essence of the plant. AL
though roses are found growing wild
in nearly every part of the world, 1t
is only in France, Turkey and India
that they are cultivated for their per-
fume. The Turkish oil is the one
commonly found in the market. Otto
of roses is the basis of all genuine rose
perfume and is very expensive.

the county courts in che Keystone state
have had direct responsibility for the
granting Of liquor licenses. bu, naturally
enough this System has not proven sat
isfactory. 1t has not been found in
keeping with the character of the courts
to be charged with the duty of deciding
Often disasreoablc contests for licenses.
and in some instances liquor interests
have taken an Objectionable part in CON
nccNion with the selection of county
Judges
In view of these circumstances an agi-
tation has been begun in Pennsylvania
looking to the adoption of n different
system of disposing of licenses from that
n,~H in force. II Is stated that the Leg
islature at Harrisburg will be asked to
pass 81 law providing for the creation
of liquor commission. witch shall have
charge of granting commissions instead
Of the county courts. Tho idea is to have
this change take effect in all parts of the
state outside of Philadelphia and Allie
elIany counties, so that the largo cities
Of Philadelphia and Pittsbuig will re-
tain the present system whereby licenses
are granted by the courts, no matter
what action the Legislature may take
with reference to the remainder of the
state.
1t is also proposed 10 have the license
commission rcn-purtsan. in F"nneyl-
vania, ana tncrcin We find another. in
tcrestng contrast to the policy adopted

1t is worthy Of comment in this con-

it may result in tho suspicion of scanda
in connection with liquor commissions
and it is even stated that if this posi-
bility becomes strong the proposed chang
