The city of Lyons consumes annually two
millions of pounds of spun silk. Four CO.
coons and a fraction are necessary to pro
duce gramme (the five hunoredth part of
pound; } consequently the consumption of
Lyons alone requires a, 100000 cocoons. The
length of silk thread in each being about
500 metres, the total is equa. to 100000
millions of metres, which is fourteen times
the distance of the earth from the sun, or
5.494 times that of the moon from the
earth. This length would encircle the globe
at the equator $4,000 times, or reach 2OO,-
900 times rnur d the moon.
