CoTroN BLANKETs.-M Machinery has been lately invented, by which blankets, that to all appearance are entirely wool, are chiefly made of cotton. The cotton thread is wound with woolen thread, pretty much as the steel wire of piano is wound with sil- yer wire. The process is performed so cheaply that the difference in the price of the material makes large profit to the man. ufacturer, while he can afford his article at rate comparatively low. It is surprising to observe the new and unexpected uses to which our great staple is applied.
