SpIOERY SILKS

BECAUSE of the slow and laboriOuS hand
u labor necessary to unwind thousand yards
of fine thread from the cocoons of the silk
worm, and its being Improbable to carry on
this industry except in countries where wages
very low, Innumerable scientists and in
ventors are trying to devise some substitute for
the silkworms product to find some other
insect that will produce something similar at
less cost.
One of the most recent attempts of this sort
was caused by the British association of silk
manufacturers offering a reward of five thou
sand dollars to anyone who would invent a way
to utilize the spider as silk producer. The
idea is an old one (for Cleopatra S famous robe
was of spider sik) but the problem has always
been how to get enough of the spider thread
and how to wind it without breaking it get
ting it hopelessly tangled.
\ Frenchman named Cachot received re-
ward a little while ago. He harnessed the spider
to machine that he invented containing di
minutive bobbins which revolved constantly
He wound the thread as the spider spun it, not
after it had been made. The end of the web
which'was attached to the body of the spider
was caught and fastened firmly to a bobbin
then the machine gently put in motion
The spider, finding his web Keeling away, ap-
parently of its own volition, naturally pulled on
the opposite direction to get away. To the de
light of the scientist it was found that the
spider did not pull with sufficient force to
break the thread, but actually seemed to en-
JOY the process and kept up Just enough ten
sion so that the web continued moving Many
spiders were tried in this way, and at last
enough of their product obtained to be
woven into fabric which in tenuitv. elasticity,
and tenacty found to be superior to nat
ural silk fiber.
Dresses of spider web, however. still be
yond the reach of any except the wives of
nutimionares. \ spider that comes from
Madagascar is the only that supplies the
right sort of thread. Size for size, this NADIA
gascar spiders thread is tougher than bar iron.
Another advantage about the spider silk
producer is that, having been emptied of its
web it can be fed and petted back to condition
and will submit to another Keeling without
showing Ill effects.
