,ance bv progressive motion from the end
towards thereof"
The hairs of wool, when carded and spun.
are laid in every direction, and when they
are compressed and agisated, this DISPOSE
ZION to catch each other, and move from the
no;nt TO the root, must inevitably bring the
whole mass closer together. This is the
case when cloth is fulled or milled, by which
+ Is shortened both in length and breadth.
Not being perfectly satisfied with the ac-
count given by M. Monge, adopted We
:. .;mnle experiment to ascertain Its truth
4 took staple Of coarse wool, OF conslde'
.rahle length. with the hairs laying regularly
in one direction. At the distance OF an inch
from each end, made tight hgature with
! thread T; measured the middle OF the sta
3ple between the threads, and then proceed
ed 10. mill it, by COMPRISING it with my
hand in solution of soap and warm wate1.
continued the operation until each ena OF
the staple beyond the thread was telted INTO
a hard knob or button, which could not be
separated by the fingers. The middle OF
the staple remained unfel,ed, the hairs quite
distinct from each other, and it was ,ot IN
the least shortened by the process, ether IN
wet state or when dried. In the middle part
of the staple, between the two threacs' the
hairs were kept in the same direction W be-
ing tied, ana could not acquire the retro
Grade motion, or adhere by the surfaces
catching hold of each other. lhe hairs at
the end of the staple being at liberty to don'
bile and move in different directions, we're
soon felred together into smooth hard and J.
| rnnnd knob, in which the ends or points OF
the WOOL wITc rntlreIy buried.
