It must be remembered, however, that in the last bar on .thé extreme right and left two warps are taken up at a time, a front and a back one. As a result, thèse two bars are shorter than the inter-

The result of this arrangement is that, what with the resiliency, overlapping of the warps, and closeness of the texture, the bars are only visible on the one (the outer) side of

mediate ones, thus assisting in giving shape to the hammock when completed. The bars (wefts) are usually woven from below up. Thé warp is here made of ite fiber and the four weft strands (bar) of cotton. The reason given for the employment of cotton is that, owing to the increasecl friction, there is no chance of the weft slipping along the wa.rp. 4:64:.
