NEW VEGETABLES FIBREs.

Among the recently discovered vege.
table fibres, useful in the manufacture
of cloth of various kinds, may be men,
toned those of the China grass and the
Ramie, both of them species belonging
to the ncttle family aud to the genus
Boehmeria. The China grass, when
prepared, is Of brilliant snow-white
color, and Of remarkable fueness of
fibre. Like the ibrcs of cotton, those
Of the China grass are single cells, some
Of which attain length Of eight inches,
those of fax being at most only four.
The Ramie is Of still greater value in
the arts, and is now extensively cultiva-
ted in the warmer portions of the Uni
ted States, principally from seeds distri.
buted by the Agricultural Department.
This plant has been grown from time
immemorial by the native of the Indian
Archipelago, and from the peculiarly
waterproof nature Of its fbres is used
largely in the manufacture of nets. The
plant is perennial and easily propasated
by settings, yielding three or four har-
vests annually. The crop is about a
thousand pounds fibre per acre, of which
about half is textile material, furnish
ing a silky, lustrous thread longer
than that of cotton. This is spun,
mixed with either wool or cotton, and
can indeed be worked by itself in which
case it has the appearance Of Lyons
silk.

then conferred charity upon him, still poor and
