SPIDER’S NIGHTCAP,
A CURIOUS PRODUCT OF INSECT LA: BOR IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
How the Fiji Islanders Obtain These Beau. tiful and Rare Specimens — The Abbe and His Ingenious Method of Construct. ing a Spider Silk Factory,
‘‘What in the world does the Fiji island er do with such a large nightcap?’’ was s remark I overheard in the British museum in London. As soon as the speaker moveeé on I stepped forward to the glass case inte which he had been looking, and there sure enough, was a nightcap which fo size might easily excite an exclamation o! surprise from the most expectantly curious fur it was nearly four feet long.
What was ore interesting to me, how ever, Was the fact that this very curion: nightcap had been woven by spiders, anc naturally 1 began to wonder how thest bright little creatures had gone to work tc weave it. That they had had.any inten: tion of making such an odd shaped object was too absurd to believe for a moment. but that this nightcap was composed of spider silk was apparent from its beautify, light gosenmor ee€Th re.
1 Suugot an explanation for it from-emé of the professors connected with the mu seul, Who, while giving me the informa tion I wanted, teok the nightcap out 0! the case and handed it to me so that ) could examine it closely. What first im pressed me was the almost total absence of weight, for it hadn't any to speak of. Aguin, I was surprised at the thickness of the materia], for whereas in the case if looked as though it had but very little body, now thatI held it in my hands ) saw that it was nearly an inch thick.
While gazing with admiration at the spiders’ wondrous handiwork I learned from the professor how it was made. Ii appears that when the Fiji islander wants one of these nightcaps he makes a light framework of sticks and places it in 8 very dark corner where he knows there 6 plenty of spiders. This is actually all tha the native does toward making his night- cap and leaves the rest to the spiders, be ing quite sure that through their indus tricus efforts the spinning will be done fo him. The tropical spiders are much more lavish of their beautiful silk than ow northern species, so that when the native's rude framework is placed in their midst they at once set to work to cover up the sticks with silk of lightest gold, nor d¢ they cease working until the framework js completely hiéden. Not even then do they stop if there are still other places in whict to spin their webs. ‘To spin is their nat ural industry, and no inatter what comet in their way they work it overin silk ar they do the native’s framework.
How long it takes the spiders to make one of these nightcaps the professor coulc not tell me, neither could he tel) me jusi how the framework was made, althougt he thought it probably consisted of three light sticks. We turned the cap almosi inside out in an endeavor to find some part of the framework, but not a particle wa: to be seen. In color it was of a rathei dirty white, but Ithink this was due to it: many travels. Like the speaker who firs: attracted my attention to this nightcap, | wundered what the Fiji islander did witt it. However, the professor had no infor wation te give on this point.
Very little is known about this cap be yond the fact that it was made by spiders and that it was presented to the museurr by that well known traveler and writer Miss Gordon Cumming.
To find a means of using spider silk for manufacturing purposes has long been ar object of interest to many scientific men. The almost innumerable difficulties they have met with, however, have so far provec insurmountable. In the first place, it war found impossible to procure enough nat ural insect food to feed the vast multitude of spiders which would be required to fur nish the sitk. Eventually this barrier was overcome and in chopped worms was founé a diet which spiders thrived upon. The natural combativeness of the members oi} the spider family is another serious diffi culty, for they cannos be trusted near one another without fighting. Numerous ex periments that have been made in trying to keep large numbers of spiders togethei

A vreat deal of ingenuity has been ex hibited by scientists in their efforts to dis cover a method of getting the silk directly from the living spider and not from th cocoons. As far back as 1762 the Abh: Raymond de Termeyer labored indus triously in this direction and to # certall extent met with considerable success. He invented an odd looking contrivances Which held the spider family in place on ¢ little stand. In appearance it reminds om of the old stocks of Puritan days, for th: spider’s head and legs protruced throug! one side, giving it the appearance of a di mwinutive culprit undergoing severe punish ment for some offense.
Tho spider was placed in this position which cid not hurt it in the least, so tha its legs could not interfere with tho threac while it was being drawn away trom it: body. Just back of the spider the abb placed a little reel on which to reel the silk. The mort ingenious conception of th whole ides occurred when the abbe wishee
