A SPIDER'S WEB AS A FISHING-NET: A STRANGE 

 NEW GUINEA DEVICE 



A very huge and strong spider's web, common to New 

 Guinea, is used by the natives as a fishing-net. They set up 

 in the forest a bamboo, bent as in the picture, and leave it 

 until the spiders have covered it with a web in the manner 

 shown.
