Extepsive Print Works.

II is not generally known, sa, the rhila iel-
phia Ledger, that the only establishment In this
country for the printing Of mourning goods "a
located on the west side Of the Sehuy lkiil, ,mms.
distsiy opposite tho Falls, belonging to WM.
siMrsos, and u Ia also the only o. in the State
where silk goods arc printed. Unblcsched mus
lin Ia used, the bleschiug Of which forms one Of
the most interesting processes In the establish
ment. The muslin Is first passed rapidly over
an iron plate, heated to q rcd heat, and Il thon
three boilers, zach Of sufficient size to hold
a2;ooo yards of muslin. The goods are
boiled first with lime, and arc then passed
into tho scconl boiler, containing suds,
and then into the third, having chloride Of Inns
mixed with water. Tho muslin is also passed
through sulphuric acid, and Is theu taken In this
state to another room, aud after being spread
out, by means OF double screws, dlvorgpg
IRON the centre, Is passed over seven large
copper drums, beated by steam. Twenty seconds
are only required to dry the muslin. II Is again
parsed through solution Of alum and iron, and
Again dried by passing i over a hot plate this
process being intended to rid tho muslin Of
all solvent matter. IL Is then hung up
for . day or two, so as to oxydike the metals
with which tho muslin Is imbued. Tho rollers
FOR printing are Of copper, aud tho number
f rollers Is regulated by the variety Of col
ors TO- DO printed upon The muslin. A single
msehir will print about 10 600 yards per day.
A large number q silk handkerci isfs arc printed
at this establishment, the proc,ss being tho
same as that used In printing the best quality
wall PAGER. Many fthe blocks are made In the
same way, and the printing Is entirely similar.
As many as twenty blochs are used In coloring
one ehsndkerchisf Five men will print about
900 per day. The cost Of tho handkerchief not
only depends upon the quality Of the silk, but
upon the number and ricbness Of the oolors.
The handkerchief printed at these works rccsived
the highest premium ut the Worlds Fair, New
York, notwithstsn ding they were placed In
with those from foreign countries.
