scientists are rushing to the defense of the black widow spider, whose ove life has Ions been considered a public When a male black widow comes lo see a female, he her attention by shaking the web she has spun. If she is interested, she shakes the web right sack at him. Gossips have whispered that J. she invariably eats her puny mate. But scientists who take note of spider Intimacies report that she generally lets the little fellow escape unharmed.

Except R'hen she's very, very hungry. As a species, the black widow gets around. The National Geographic Society says it is found all over the Americas from Can ada to Tierra del Fuego, and In all 48 states, of the Union. WORK FOR UXCLE SAM The black widow is a retiring creature, who rarely ventures far 'rom her web. She is so shy that she generally runs away or plays dead at the advance of.

Strands of spider we are used for cross hairs in siu'vey nstruments, microscopes, and te escopie-gimsights. The strands are sgld lo be tougher than steel, and so thin hat it takes 5,000 to cover an inch ol space.

But the web is lot as artistic as the symmetrical homes ol garden spiders. When an frequently a gels entangled in her web, he black widow ties her prey down with several lengths of webbing, and leisurely sucks our. its life juices. After the meal, she. cuts the supporting strands and lets the insect's body drop away.

Unfortunately for the widow's reputation, she sometimes bites people, generally when she is accidentally provoked. This trait has earned her a' dreadful scientific name: Lat'rodectus" mactans (murderous biting robber). Drop for drop, the black widow's venom" is about 15 times more toxic than a prairie rattle- snake's, but snakes are more dangerous because they inject a much larger Quantity of poison. VICTIMS ARE FEW Though the spider's bite Is excruciatingly painful, only a. few score people are known lo riave died from the venom.

Modern science has serums and other methods of treatment that are effective. Scientists also have had promising results with chemicals in killing black widows. For a while It had seemed as II a fly swatter or broomhandle was almost (he only sure weapon. Household cleanliness and modern plumbing are helpful 1 in control. The outdoor privy is a favorite lair ol the spiders.
