MANUFACTURE OF S1LK.-Everythng has
its use, it is said, but it has long been wonder
cd for what purpose in the Providential plan
was created the ailanthus tree, with Its horn,
HE eff3uvia. Stunned by man and beast, and
ironically called ''The Tree of Heaven. The
question has at last been answered, and it has
been discovered that indigenous to Northern
China is the bombyx cynthia feeding exclusive
X on the leaves of this tree. The cultivation
Of the cynthia has been successfully introduce
ed into this country, and fine specimens are on
exhibition, grown in the open air on Staten Is,
land, as well as handsome skelns manufactured
from them The bombyx mort is a mulberry
FEEDER but it has been found that it will feed
equally we'll on the leaves of the Usage orange,
producing a cocoon Of a beautiful lemon color.
Though the mulberry silk is more valuable
the cultivation Of these species appears to be
more desirable, in that it is attended with but
little expense, as they are hardy and require
comparatively no attention, whereas the null
berry feeders must be tended with constant care
and watchfuuess.
The silk manufacturing interest IN tins coun-
try is assuming immense proportions. There
are numerous manufactures. New jersey has
sixteen factories and seventy-hve thousand
splndles fifteen hundred operatives find en-
rloyment in the silk manufactures of Phlladel-
phia, while five million dollars are invested in
this business in Connecticut The Cheney
Brothers, in Hartford alone are turning out
daily fifteen hundred yards of dress silks and
iour thousand yards of other dress goods into
the manufacture of which silk enters, besides
large quantities Of ribbons and sewing silks.
The quantity Of silk imported to meet the
wants Of this constantly increasing industry
must amount to many millions yearly and if it
can be successfully cultivated in this country
incalculable sums will be saved.
