Elasticity of Spiders Webs.

Did you ever watch spiders web
on windy day? If so, you will notice
how wonderfully it accommodates
itself to the swaying of the twlgs to
tic of the very finest quality. Were it
not for its elasticity the poor spider
would not long survive. The first
breeze would rend the silken meshes
of the web to atoms and the owners
stock of new material would very soon
be exhausted in repairs and renewals.
Besides its elasticity, the spiders web
is very sticky, property which ac-
counts for the ease wherewlth II holds
insects when once caught.
