MADAGASCAR SPIDERS
Their Wonderful Webs and an Experi
ment In Weaving
It Is Interesting to know the prac
tical uses to which the webs of a largo
Madagascar spider might be applied to
replace silk for woven fabrics said
Fisher S Williams of London who Is
interested In the manufacture of silk
I know from visits to the Interior
of Madagascar that the webs spun
many feet across the walks or shady
avenues of gardens are sulflciently
strong to hung thereon a light bam
boo walking cane At the Paris ex
position of 1900 a whole piece of fab
ric eighteen yards long and eighteen
Inches wide was exhibited which was
woven out of this web for which it
was necessary to provide 100000 yards
of spun thread of twenty four strands
For Its manufacture 2r0CO spiders
had to be brought Into requisition and
these were procured by offering the
natives so much a hundred but not
knowing or ignoring the j urpos p for
which the Insects were required and
having a desire tbej
brought them In by lmslcetfuls mostly
dead It was found necessary for the
winding off machines to go to the spi
ders instead of calling In the spiders
to the filatorles However the piece
of cloth was completed and was of a
shimmering golden yellow color
The idea of obtaining silk from the
spklerIs an old one as distinguished
men In France discoursed on the sub
ject as long ago as 1710 but the flirt
study of this Madagascar spider came
up some ten years ago and the spin
ning of its web was then undertaken
It Is only the female that spins The
first difilculty in obtaining the thread
direct from the insect consisted in con
triving how to secure the living spider
so as to wind it off by some mechan
ical process from the insect This was
originally performed by confining spi
ders in empty matchboxes with the
abdomen protruding The extraction
of the web does not apparently Incon
venience the Insect although care lias
to be taken not to injure it Wash

Some College Spelling
No one can blame the colleges of this
country if they demand as one of the
requirements of admission the ability
on the part of the student correctly to
spell words with which he would ex
press his thoughts Essays submitted
by 250 students contained an average
of five mistakes to each pupil Nearly
fifty men made the mistake of placing
an unnecessary e at the end of a
syllable as departemeut develope
ment A very common error was to
transpose the vowels ei and ie
Relieve and receive were the words
most sinned against Preceding and
succeeding offered difficulties to
many while offered and preferred
proved troublesome Why principal
and principle should so often be in
correctly used by college students is a
mystery There are a few simple rules
for spelling which should have pre
vented at least half of the mistakes
Before the age of fourteen these rules
should be part of the educational outfit
of the student in the grammar schools

A Crooked Parallel
It was decreed by the convention of
1818 and the treaty of Washington of
184G that the boundary between the
United States and Canada from the
Lake of the Woods to the Pacific a
distance of 1270 miles should follow
the forty ninth parallel The survey
ors who have lately completed the lo
cation of the boundary have found
that the astronomical parallel varies
from a direct circle around the earth
and Professor Otto Klotz explains the
curious fact that the line instead of
being straight is at one point S00
feet south of the direct circle and at
another place GOO feet north It was
decided that the astronomical parallel
or line through places wher the pole
is 41 degree5 from the zenith should
be the accepted boundary This deci
sion was followed but local attraction
in some places deflects the plumb line
and therefore the zenith and the as
tronomical forty ninth parallel proves
to be a quite irregular line Cleveland

The London Police
The London policeman aside from
the matter of pay has every advan
tage over his New York contemporary
He is looked up to with respect His
slightest command is obeyed in the
public streets He takes himself very
seriously and is grave and solemn un
der the weight of his responsibility
I never saw a London policeman laugh
or even smile except in one instance
and he was an Irishman and possibly
might be considered too human for his
office His relation to the people is
entirely different from that of the
New York police aan The greatest
power over him is that of parliament
and all political parties are friendly to
him He is occasionally investigated
by royal commissions which investi
gation is impartial and if anything
friendly to him It is their hope to
find everything as it should be Wil

Snails as Delicacies
One thing which I he English visitor
to Paris detests according to a French
newspaper is the edible snail which
is becoming a greater favorite among
the Paris gourmets Returns show
that in 1907 560000 kilograms of snails
passed through the markets in the
French capital A similar quantity
was consumed last year and the re
turns up to the present indicate that
the quantity eaten will be still greater
There seem to be fashions in gastron
omy as well as in millinery so we
learn that the frog is becoming les3
popular in fact few are eaten today
