LARGEST SPIDER WEB IN THE
 WORLD.

The largest spiders web in the world was spun. not by a spider, but by humaD hands. It stands on the lawn of Chicago mans Coun- try home. and is of such tremendous size as to startle the passcr-by when he first sees it. The creator of this interesting oddity conceived the idea of attempting to see how nearly an actual spiders web could be repro duccd with rope Selecting two large trees on the lawn of his home, he spun between them this spiders web forty feet by sixty. which is so strong that d man can easily climb to the center or top of it. The web faces the main thorOughfare passing the house, and is one of the most fascinating country decorations ever seen The spinner could not attain the minuteness of the actual spiders web but came so near to it that the illusion is almost perfect The un iqueness of the undertaking catches and fascinates every eye.-Strand Magazine.
