SPIDER SILK.
Its Wonderful strength. Elasticity
and Lasting Quality.

The astronomer after the experience
of many years has found that the spl-
der furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used In carrying
on his work. writes Ambrose Swazey
In the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are from
one-tifth 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 with
standing great changes Of temperature,
and often when measuring the sun
spots, although the heat is so intense
as to crack the lenses of the microme-
ter eyepiece. yet the spider lines are not
In the least injured.
The threads of the silkworm, al
though OF great value as a commercial
product. ARE so coarse and rough com
pared with the silk OF the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru-
ments.
Spider lines, although but fraction
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 1t is
because of this that they remain true
and round under the highest magnify.

cATERPlLLARs AND LAW.


Actions Against the Insects In the
Courts of France.
In the year 1915 the owners of the
vineyards OF St Julian, Savoy, France,
solemnly took action In the law courts
against host of hungry caterpillars
which had played havoc with Their
vines. This grave matter was referred
to arbitration and came In due course
before the bishop as ecclesiastical
Judge.
Two lawyers were retained In the In.
terest of the Insect ravagers, letters ad-
monishing them to discontinue their
mischief were issued, and a commits
sion sat to estimate the damage done.
The Judge held that no hasty decision
should be given, since it was possible
that the caterpillars had not acted ma
llciously but had been sent as a
scourge.
AT the end of year from the first
proceedings 1t was held that the farm.
ers must submit to the inhiction and
pay all costs. After an interval OF for.
ty-two years another army of caterpil-
lars invaded the vineyards, another ac
ton was brought, and 1t was decided
that they were only exercising their le-
gal rights, while the owners were al.
vised to provide piece of land where
they might range at Will.

Humble DcginninE Of Europe's Great
Maritime Agency.
Two centuries ago man who had
a cargo TO send to the Mediterranean
contrived TO get rid of some of the risl,
by inducing friend to take an interest
with him. II was necessary to write
out statement of contract TO which
the guarmtors subscribed. This was
the first underwriting. These two men
happened 10 he frequenters OF I.loyd's
coffee house In London, which was
fayorlte place for the meehants of the
town to gather to discuss business or to
gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan-
tage of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised. and on the next
voyage tile risk was parceled out
among larger number Of the patrons
Of the coffee house.
Out OF this small beginning has
grown the great European maritime
agencS, still bearing the name OF the
humble coffee house proprietor. and

but rates them and publishes their ar

LONDON WHITEHALL.
IL Was known ms York House Until
Cardinal woIsey's Fall.


Old Westminster palace was the Lon.
don residence of the archblshops Of
York and was known as York House
or York Place down to the reign of
Henry VIII. On the downfall of Cardi-
nal Wolsey. 1929, York House was de-
llvered and confirmed by charter to the
king, who changed Its name to White
hall.
There were already several White.
halls in the country, and the choice OF
the name in this instance may have
been due to new buildings of white
stone, added by Henry VIII, which
eontrasted with the red brick in gem
erai use. Another conjecture Is that the
king wished TO emphasize the depth Of
the cardinals fall by erasing the worry
name OF the palace so clearly associated
with his elevation to power and posi-
ton.
This appears to have been Shake
speare's view. for in Henry VIII. we
read:
Sir, you must no more call 1t York Place:
that's past.
For. since the cardinal fell, that titles
lost.
