day the art has greatly developed. and
ln certain of the towns lacemaking is
the chief occupation. Almost all the

men are engaged In this industry. A
curious fact with reference to the Par

were borrowed from the strange webs
woven by the semitropical spiders that
abound in that country. Accordingly
