224 THE EV O LU TION DE CEIT

Very important miracles are hidden in
the thread of the spiders. This thread, with a
diameter of less than one thousandth of a
millimetre, is 5 times stronger than a steel
wire having the same thickness. This thread
has yet another characteristic of being ex-
tremely light. A length of this thread long
enough to encircle the world would weigh only 320 grams. 192 Steel, a sub-
stance specially produced in industrial works, is one of the strongest materi-
als manufactured by mankind. However, the spider can produce in its body
a far firmer thread than steel. While man produces steel, he makes use of his
centuries-old knowledge and technology; which knowledge or technology,
then, does the spider use while producing its thread?
As we see, all technological and technical means at the disposal
mankind lag behind those of a spider.

Hibernating Animals
Hibernating animals can go on living although their body temperature
falls to the same degree as the cold temperature outside. How do they man-
age this?
Mammals are warm-blooded. This means that under normal condi-
tions, their body temperature always remains constant because the natural
thermostat in their body keeps on regulating this temperature. However,
during hibernation, the normal body heat of small mammals, like the squir-
rel rat with a normal body heat of 40 degrees, drops down to a little bit above
the freezing point as if adjusted by some kind of a key. The body metabolism
slows down to a great extent. The animal starts breathing very slowly and its
normal heartbeat, which is 300 times a minute, falls to 7-10 beats a minute.
