GOSSAMER SPINNING.

Spider Silk Stockinga.

There has been talk in Francs of reviving the manufacture of gossamar silk stookings from the Milk of spiders, writen Sir Bissett Digby in the Daily Cărónizde.

There heed to be a little factory at Languedoc which wave spider silk into the most delicate feather-, weight gloves and stockings, but it failed on account of the | difficulty of rearing and farming enough spiders and attending is them,

You can't keep spiders in biz pens, like rabbits and poultry and the larvae of Bombyx mori (the "silkworm"), ` They fight and ent such other unless givan přivany and plenty of elbow room, and to keep feeding and sending tens of thousands of spider, each in its own "fat" means a high wage bill for labour.

After being in receipt of charity from kind-hearted for- eigners, the least the recipients could do would be to make su attempt to devise some means of obtaining work or of employing themselves in some occupation which would relieve foreigners of farther responsibility for their upkeep. Instead of doing that, the refugees are now asking the foreigners to assist them in ob- taining the highest standard of education in a University-a standard which the vast majority of foreigners have been unable to afford themselves. In other words, the Russians are asking of their benefactors something which the latter have been unsble themselves to guia.
