Spider Threads

TIL Z cultivation OF certain species OF spiders
solely for the fine threads which they
weave for scientific uses has an important
bearing upon astronomy, the oldest physical
science. No substitute for the spiders thread
has Vet been found for biSecting the screw Of
the microneter used for determining the po-
SItons and motions Of the stars. Not only
because of the remarkable fneness of the
threads are they valuable. but because of their
great durable qualities
Recently the set ot spider lines in the micro
meter II the transit instrument II the Ale
Eileuy observatory were examined and found
10 be n perfect condition although they were
placed there about torrv-seven wears ago The

Glass House Construction

THE demand for hollow bricks and building
4 blocks for house construction has induced
glass manufacturers to put hollow glass bricks
on the market, and they promise to be used ex-
tensively Tor novel and artistic effects.
ne hrSt glass bricks proved failure on ac-
count OF their cost. but the hollow glass bricks
can be made at much less expense They are
lighter and stronger than clay bricks. and are
such excellent non-conductors that walls built
ot them are proof against da1npness. sound,
heat, and cold. The bricks are sealed her
metlcally when hot. and are placed in walls
with a colorless mortar made OF special glass
The bonding strength Of the glass mortar IS al
most As great as the bricks themselves. For
ornamental frlezes dadoes. string courses, and
tacades they are OF special value, and add
greatly TO the artistic effects
For those who might object TO living in glass
houses through whose walls anyone could see
II should be said that the hollow glass bricks
are made both translucent and opaque. Eur

ing strength OF from fort v-three To fortv-seven
thousand feet, dry-spun fax thirtv-nine to
torty-one thousand, ramie thirty-sevea 70
forty thousand, and jute about thlrty-two
thousand
But II not so strong as some of the other
yarns, the paper withstauds exposure to water
better than lute flax and when tightly
woven into fabrics offers better protection
from cold winds. When combined with woolen
yarns, the paper clothes can be repeatedly
washed without injuring the surface Owing
TO the difference in cost of the raw materials,
sufficient material can be manufactured out OF
paper yarns combined with a little wool to
make suit OF clothes at cost of les than three
dollars. The spinning of the paper yarns on
ordinary looms IS a simple matter
So far the chief use of the spun paper
fabrics has been for towels. wash cloths, bed
and table linen, and for mattress coverings.

Active Building Season.
The character of the building season that
has now fairly opened, owing to the mild
ness of the weather is a matter of eonsid-
cradle interest to all those who are actively
engaged in enterprises of that kind 1t is
evident from the preparations that have
thus far been made there is going to be
good deal done In the way of adding 20 the
number of dwellings and to certain extent
also of small apartment houses-those of
two and three stories. As to the larger va
riety of such buildings, there are no very
definite indications as yet that much vii be
done toward increasing the number.
There are several reasons given for this.
and one, and perhaps the most important, IS
the uncertainty on the part of those who
have been doing such building and would
probably continue to whether the present
supply is not sufficient. In the opinion of
some close observers of the market the
limit for such buildings has been reached,
or nearly SO.
Views of Financiers.
This view seems to be shared by those
who lend money to carry on such enter
prises, and, of course, the latter is perhaps
the more important of the two for what
ever the wishes might be of the builders. If
1t was not possible to secure loans naturally
they could not make much Roadway. The
only building of any consequence of the
large apartment type that has been project
ed for the coming season is the one on Yer
mont avenue just south of Thomas circle
which the Messrs. Moses and Mr. Duehay
have arranged to build.
There are, of course, other projects for
extensive structures of this sort under con-
sideration, but thus far they have not been
