A device for supporting a large egg can be made as follows. Take six fine silk cords and knot them together in the centre; then form a few large meshes by knotting the cords together two and two at equal distances from the first - say 1 1/2 in. to 2 in., according to the size of the object. Having formed a sufficiently large bag, knot the cords together again about 10 in. above the object and plait or twist them together, carrying them up to a picture hook or ring so that they will hang about 5 ft. C in. from the floor; they may then be freely handled.
