IN your number of February 28 (p. 417), Mr. R. I. Pocock suggests that the observation of a spider's web may have given rise to the art of netting. It is of interest to note that the following citation is found in a Chinese cyclopædia: ``Yuen-kien Luihan'' (1701, tom, ccccxlix. art. ``Chi-chu,'' 2):-``In `Paupuh-tsze' it is said, `Tai-hau [or Pâo-hsî] made a spider his master and knitted nets.'
