Each spinner is pierced like the plate oil a wire d rawer, . with a multitude of holes, so numerous and exquisitively fine, that a space not often bigger than a pin's point includes a thousand.-s-Through each of these holes proceeds a? thread, of an incobceivable tepuity? which, immediately after issuing from the orifice, unites with all the other: threads from the same spinner into one. tlence irom each spinner pro ceeds a compound thread ; and these foUr threads at tfie distance' of aout one tenth of an inch from the apex of the spinner, again unite, and form the j threstd we are "accustomed to see, which the spider iises in forming its webb, v Thus, a spider's 1 webb, even Spunby the smallest specie, aftd when so fine that it is almost imperceptible to our senses is not, asr we suppose, a single linei but a rone, corppoped of at least 4,000 strands. But, to feel all the wonders of this fact, we must' foiloweuwenhoeck in one of his pal cnlations)n the subject. This rbnown ed microscopic observer found, by an acurate'estimatibn, that thb threads of the spiders, some of which 4r notJar-, ger than a . grain of sand, are so fine, rthat 400,000 of them would riot exceed in thickness one of the hairs of his beard. Now we knbw that .each (if these threails is composed of 4,00 still j nner. It follows, ,vtherelore, that bove sixteen millions of the .finest threads, which issue from such spiders, arc not altogether thicker, than a hu man hair. ...V':V- ':V - '.'
