Not only because of tbe remarkable fineness of tbe threads ere they valuable, but because of their durable qualities. Tbe threads of certain spiders raised for astronomical purposes withstand changes In temperature*, so that often in measuring sun spots they ora uninjured when the beat Is so great that he lenses of tbe micrometer eyepiece re cracked. These spider lines are only one-fifth ? one-seventh of ■ thousandth of en Inch In diameter, compared with which the threads of the silkworm are large and clumsy.

Tbe work of placing these line* In the micrometer requires tbe delicate touch of experts, who operate wfjfc the aid of microscope# which magnify the line a thousand times. The lines ore placed parallel with each other and one-thonsandths of an Inch apart, ray Stories.
