HARDWICKES SCIENCE-GOSSIP. 205 absorb colouring matter with difficulty. The thread, •from its greater thickness, offers a longer resistanceto solvents, such as caustic alkalies, and also tomechanical force. It can therefore be readily divided into polygonal areas, each of which isoccupied by a reticulation of very fine threads. Thisstructure may be traced for a short distance betweenthe turns of the spiral
