CHINESE TRIANGULAR SIGN
Box Outside Laundry Always Found
with Three Si6es-Is Quite
n Problem.

More OF less OF problem 10 all stu
dents OF signs is the sign used by the
Chinese laundrymen, in the shape OF q
box around a tree or an awning pole In
front OF his shop. Indeed. where the
tree or pole is missing the sign is put
mp witho-t It, and II is always trianeu-
iar-thal is, having three sides instead
of four. Some extensive inquiries have
been instituted TO determine why this
triangular form is always followed The
most reasonable explanation and thf
only one rendered by the ChinameI
themselves is a desire to economic IN
wood and paint. With triangular shape
to the box enough of one side is pre-
sented to any point Of view to make the
sign visible. and no other arrangement
can produce the same result with the use
OF so little wood.

silkworms In Ribbon.

Some ambitious silkworms OF the
nelghborhood OF Venice have woven
by themselves a ribbon three yards
long and three inches wide. When they
reached the chrysalis stage, Instead Of
weaving round cocoons on the twigs
prepared for them. they preferred to
travel up and down the smooth side Of
a strip OF wood nine feet long and
three inches wide Back and forth
they went, spinning their silken web,
until at last they made beautiful
ribbon, transparent in It's center ana
golden yellow at the heavier edges.
The scarf is amazingly strong for a
