WEB OF THE SPIDER.
Thousands Of Strands In Each Of Its
Silky Threads.

Thousands Of Strands In Each Of lts
Silky Threads.
For q long time the web Of the spi-
der was supposed to be q simple
strand Of wavy silk. but later It was
found that such was far from being
the case
Under the microscope We can get at
the secret Of the spinning very nicely.
We see that there are either four OF
six teats on the spider near the lower
part Of the abdomen. almost exactly
similar to the teats Of a COW. From
these issue four or six strands, NJ the
case may be. But these strands them
selves are not simple. but are COM
posed Of ut least a thousand fbers
each. for it has been proved that in
each teat there IS a sieve Of at least
q thousand holes, through which the
silky matter Is strained. Thus We see
that. fine as Is q spiders web. It II yet
composed Of from 1000 to G000 flbers.
Leuwenhoeck states that 1t would take
at least 100000 Of the completed
threads to make thread as strong a.
a silk thread Of the size Of a hair.
As to the color Of the thread, our
ordinary spiders spin one Of a uniform
gray color. But in the riotous tropics
there are found spiders that spin varl-
colored webs. One particularly pro
duces red. yellow and black threads.
which it binds together with a pleas
ing color effect.

mant q great industry once It Is prop

PIANO HARDWARE.


Men Whe Buy Parts and Repair Their
Instruments at Home.
O6e's notion Of piano hardware Il
likely to be that 1t h material Of vari-
Gus sorts used In the manufacture and
repair Of pianos, an idea that would
be In the main correct, but at the
same time there il more or less Of
such material sold at retail to private
owners Of pianos who may be skilled
In the use Of tools and who undertake
to do their own repairing to save ex-
pense. and such purchasers may in
clude men who have no knowledge Of
music, though they may have the me-
chanical expertness required for the
job.
Obviously NO great skill is required
In replacing a broken caster. A man
can buy single caster and put 1t On
himself II he wants to. or he could In
like manner replace broken hinge or
a screw. and he can buy any Of these
things. But the home repairer does
more ambitious work still-as, for in
stance. he may replace a broken wire.
He can buy piano wire Of precisely
the right gauge. and he may under
take this job and get away with II, or
he may replace one or more broken
keys or hammers. Not long since q
man who had bought a pretty well
worn secondhand piano for So bought
for 1t a complete new set Of hammers.
which he put on himself.
Only men Of real skill can do such
jobs as this. but In town Of this size
there are enough men who do their
own piano repairing to make 1t pay to
keep piano hardware on sale Mt retail.

geraniums. The first, watered in the
usual way, was beautiful and Wig

Martin Caufield was reelected
president, Wyman w. Kimble, Sec
retary, Charles A. McCarty, Esq,
solicitor, Lawrence Weidner, street
commissioner, Monday evening,
March 6, at City Hall, when the
Town Council met for re-organiza-
ton, the only change in the person
mel OF officers being in the choice
of George w. Penwarden to succeed
George Genung, as treasurer.
The meeting was called to order
at S:23 p. m, by the election of Mar
tin Caufield and Wyman w. Kimble
as temporary chairman and secretary
respectively.
These members were present:
Mayor John Kuhbach, Martin Cau-
field, Wyman X. Kimble, George w.
Penwarden, Thomas Canivan, p. r.
Murray, S. T. Ham.
In order to be on the safe side, the
borough fathers got an opinion from
the city solicitor, Chas. A. McCarty,
Esq, on the question of re-organi2a-
tion. He advised them that while
the term of office of councilmen was
extended from the first Monday in
March until the first Monday in De-
cember, by the recent Act of Legis-
lature, the officers elected in 1910
will not continue but will expire on
the first Monday in March, 1911,
and that it would therefore be neces-
sary for them to re-organize on that
night, elect officers, and appoint all
standing committees.
Ballots were cast for treasurer,
Mr.. Penwarden receiving four votes
on the first ballot, and Mr.. Genung
one. His election was then maze
unanimous.
When the time for the election of
a Street Commissioner came up, two
candidates were voted on, viz: l..
Weidner, the present incumbent, and
William o. Burnard, who presented
petition signed by 1877 property
holders, praying that he be appointed
to the office. The ballot resulted in
four votes for Weidner, and one for
Burnard, after which weidner's elec-
| tion was made unanimous.
