SPIDERS rs FACTORY HANDS.
Spinning the Delicate Threads For Use
In Telescopes.

ift
Spiders are probably the most indis-
pensable workmen in of the largest
English surveying instrument facto-
ries. 1T is their duty to spin the deli
cate thread which is used for the cross
hairs to mark the exact center of the
object lens in the surveyors telescope.
Spider web is the only suitable ma
terial yet discovered for the cross hairs
of surveying Instruments. Almost in
visible as this 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 any. would be
magnifed to such a degree that the
web would he useless.
Human hair has been tried, but when
magnifed it has the apparent dimen-
sions of IL rough hewn lamp post.
Moreover. human hair is transparent,
and cross hairs must be opaque.
The spiders produce during a two
months spinning season thousands OF
yards of web, which is wound upon
metal frames and stored away until
needed.
a spider Eat work bangles in the air
by It's Invisible thread, the upper end
being attached to a metal wire frame
whirled in the hands of a girl. The
girl first places the spider on her hand
until the p%rotruding end of the thread
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 this line is wrapped around
the frame. Several hundred feet of
thread can be removed from a spider
at one time.
The spiders are kept in n large room
under the supervision of three girls
and a forewoman. When not spinning
the little workmen are placed in IA
large wooden cage. Flies are the chief
article of diet.
During the winter months the spider
colony usually dies, so that an entirely
new corps of workmen must be re-
cruited. Not every spider will do
only large, fat fellows that spin a
tough round thread are suitable.
~Slngularly enough, the girls who
have charge of the spiders in this Eng
fish factory are not in the least afraid
of them or their bites. On the contrary,
they regard them us pets. are able to
tell them apart and to call them by
nicknames which h%umorously describe
their appearance or their peculiar hab-
its of work.-New York American.
