Red-Neckt;e Problem.

New York, with its well-known pro-
vincialism, is in the throes of a con-
troversy that threatens to become as
bitter as the conflict between the pre-
paredness advocates and the peace-at-
any-price adherents. And the cause Of
it is the last thing in the world you
would guess-the red necktie ito be or
not to be-" to quote the bard whose
memory is now being honored. There
are anti.red clubs, black-silk-knitted
tie clubs, red-at-any-cost clubs, and va
rious other organizations based. on
what their members believe is the
correct thing in ties. A colonel who
served in the Civil war under Custas
has come out as a strong advocate Of
the red, flaming tie, as that's what
Custer wore with s'his old union suit
both in the Civil and the indian wars.
AS the fight wakes the haberdashers
stocked up with the red neck circle
get sadder and sadder. The point GER
tainly is a small one to stir up a city.

Martin B. Madden, wealthy member
Of congress from Chicago, wishes he
might have been built along more

is that he looks like too many people.
He makes a specially of being ringer

Of once month he gets a letter from
someone who has seen his picture and
claims him as brother thought to
have been lost at sea or strayed from
home years and years ago. One day
he heard from woman, who said she
had locket with an IN" on it, and
containing a boyhood picture of her
long-lost brother that looked exactly
like the one of Madden in a Chicago
paper. Madden was obliged to tell
her that his congressional duties are
too pressing to allow him any time for
being a long-lost brother this year.

SPIDERS WORK FOR LIVING
Insects Also Seem to Find It conven-
lent to 60 on Strikes When
Occasion Demands.

Spiders probably are the most in
dispensable workmen IN one of the
largest surveying instrument fac
tories. 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
telescope.
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 few weeks ago a certain
entire colony, for no apparent reas.
son, went on strike. Everybody
was worried until the "sorewoman"
Of the spiders, after patient coaxing,
finally induced them to begin spin.
ming again,
Spider web is the only suitable ma
terial yet discovered for the cross
hairs Of surveying Instruments. Al.
most invisible as this fiber Is to the
naked eye, it is brought up in the
powerful lenses Of the telescope to
the size of mans thumb, so that
all defects, If there happened to be
any, would be magnified to such a
degree that the web should be use
less. Human hair has been tried, but
when magnified 1t has the apparent
dimensions of rough-hewn lamp
post. Moreover, human hair is trans
parent, and cross hairs must be
opaque.
A spider "at work" bangles in the
air by its INVISIBLE thread, the upper
end being attached to metal wire
frame whirled in the hands of girl.
The girl first places the spider on her
hand until the protruding 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 whir1ing 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.
The spiders are kept in large
room, under the supervision of three
girls and a forewoman. When not
spinning the little workmen are
placed in 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 recruited.
Not every spider will do-only large,
fat fellows, that spin tough, round
thread, are suitable.
