200 SPIDER WORKMEN.

t1ODul1f Ctltitt NOnlnlNsJ
There is a colony OF 200 spiders in
Hobokcn. n. j., which start work and
stop work when the whistle blows 1t
is their duty to spin the delicate
thread which is used for the cross
hairs to mark The exact center of the
object lens in the surveyors teie-
scope
The spiders produce only during
August and September. In that time
they spin thousands Of yards Of web,
which is wound upon metal frames
and stored away until needed.
Spider web is the only suitable ma
teral yet discovered for the cross
hairs of surveying instruments. AL
most invisible as tbs fiber is to the
naked eye. it is brought up In the
powerful lenses of the telescope to
the size Of a mans thumb, so that all
defects. if there happened TO be amy,
would be magnified to such degree
that the web would be useless. HUI
man hair has been tried. and when
magnified 1t has the apparent dimen-
sions of a rough-hewn lamp post.
Moreover, human hair is transparent
and cross hairs must be Opaque.
The spider "at work" bangles in
the air by its invisible thread. the up
per end being attached to q metal
frame whirled in the hands of girl
The girl first places the spider in her
hand until the protruding end of the
web has become attached. When the
spider attempts to leap to the ground
this end is quickly attached to the
center of the whirling frame, and as
the spider pays out thread from its
pouch this line is wrapped around the
frame. Several hundred feet of thread
can be removed from spider at one
time. 1t is difficult to estimate just
how many thousands yards Of web are
used by this company in year They
produce thousands of surveying in
struments tearH, and between six
inches and one foot Of spider web go
into each.
The spiders are kept in large
room. under the supervision of three
girls and a forcwoman. When not
spinning the little workmen are plac-
ed in a large wooden cage. Flies are
the chief article Of diet.

EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT 1T MEANS.

Many thousands OF women are now.
a-days paving attention TO physical chi.
ture and the proper exercise OF thei,
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which i
quite necessary TO physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, exceled in beautiful and svn,-
mctrical forms was because Of the at.
tention they paid TO the proper exer.
else. Then, TOO, they were untrans
mcled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea Of hard
fatig,iing work. Mild exercise con.
tinued day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With-
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof OF the
sound remedial value of DR.. Pierces
Favorite Prescription than that it re-
stores the wasted form to its wontsd
roundness.
The mighty restorative power of DR..
Pierce's Favoritc Prescription speedily
causes all womanly troubles to disap.
pear-compels the organs to properly
perform their natural functions, cor.
