Fine Spider Threads

The cultivation of certain species OF
spiders solely for the fine threads which
they weave for scientific uses has an i'm
portant bearing upon astronomy
No substitute for he spiders thread has
yet been found for bisecting the screw
OF the micrometer used for determining
the positions and motions OF the stars.
Not only because of the remarkable fne-
ness OF the threads are they valuable. but
because of their durable qualities.
The threads of certain spiders raised for
astronomical purposes withstand changes
In temperatures. so that often in measur-
Ing sun spots they are uninjured when the
heat f. so great that the lenses OF the mi
crometer eyepiece are cracked.
These spider lines are only one-fifth to
one-seventh OF thousandth OF an inch
in diameter. compared with which the
threads of the silkworm are large and
clumsy.
Each line Is made up OF several thou
sands OF microscopic streams OF fluid
Under the most powerful magnihying
glass they appear true and round.
The work of placing these. lines in the
micrometer requires the delicate touch
OF experts who operate with the aid of
microscopes which magnify the line q
thousand times The lines are placed
parallel with each other and two one
'thousandths of an inch apart.-From

PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION N
OPENING WORK

New York. Aug. 1.-The public SER
vice commission OF Greater New York
created by the legislature at the ear
to regulate public utilities will today
begin the most important task 1t has
undertaken since its creation.
This work. an investigation into the
merger of the transit facilities of
Manhattan and the Bronx, has long
been demanded by the public, through
the medium OF the press.
Charges that have been made are
that the stocks OF the merged rail-
road properties, which include the sub
way, elevated and street railways, have
been heavily watered, and that the
transit facilities offered the nublic are
grossly inadequate. The. merged rail-
roads are known under the name OF
the Interborough-M metropolitan COM
pany and August Belmont and Thomas
+. Ryan are the men I'm control. Theo-
dore p. Shonts. formerly chairman OF
the Panama canal commission. has re-
emily become president OF the com.
pany
William r Wilcox, chairman OF the
public service commission, and until re-
Gently postpaster OF New York, will pre-
side at the Investigation. which will be
conducted by William M. Ivns, tho spe-
cial investigator employed by the COM
mission. Mr.. WINS. who is a successful
lawyer. has gained a fame second only
TO that of Gov. Huahes as a keen inQuisi-
tor in public investigations.
The first session OF the investiga tion
which 1 sto be held In the aldermanic
chamber OF the city hall will begin at z
o'clock this afternoon. Mr.. Shonts will
be the first witness. and he will be fol-
lowed In turn by III. III. vreeland, presi-
dent OF the New York City railway; Oren
Root, Jr., general manager of the corpo-
ration: Vice President and Manager II. p.
Bryan OF the Interborough and General
Superintendent Frand Hedley. who has
charge of its subways.
The investigation at first will be con-
cerned chiefly wit hthe traffic side OF the
merger.
