Artificial SILK.

In this day OF invention aud progress
discoveries crowd upon each other so fast
that We should not feel surprised to hear
that even the fevered dreams OF the old
time alchemists had been more than real
lied by some modern experimeuter. The
latest marvel in the invention line Is the
production OF substitute for silk. II was
the invention OF the Count Hilsire de
Chardonnet OF Bcsancou, France. who has
prepared fibre by chemical process
from ecllulose, out Of which fabrics are
declared to have been woven that resemble
pure silk SO closely that 4 chemical analy-
sis alone would disclose the difference
between them.
II was evident to this eminent chemist
in the early stages Of his experiments that
to produce thread similar In Transparent
cy. texture and brilliancy to the product
Of the silkworm IL would be necessary to
spin from some liquid solution. Cellulose
was chosen ~ the starting point, the most
convenient preparation Of which was made
from certain parts Of the young wood.
With this material a pure octo nitro cell
lulose was made by treatment with nitric
acid, and then dissolved In a mixture OF
thirty-eight parts Of ether and forty
two parts Of alcohol In a proportion Of 5
per cent. such solution Ia called COLO
dion.
The collodien WAS placed In a retort 10
which an air pump kept up a pressure OF
several atmospheres. The collodion flows
of through tubes, at the outer ends Of
which are glass noxzles with hair-like
xpertures Of sizes to suit the desired fiue-
ness Of the thread. These noxzlss are
surrounded by cylinders in which current
Of cold water Is kept in circulation. As
the celluloid flows out Of the nozzles in
fine fibres 1t 10 CONCEALED by the water.
A small automatic machine is employed
to lead the fibre off and wind it. The
thickness Of the thread can be regulated
perfectly, and the hanks are made up a In
silk. This silk, like all Substitution prod
ucts composed Of starch or cellulose, in
which hydrogen il more or less replaced
BY nitryl, is termed pyroxlln. 1t is, under
certain conditions, explosive, and could
not be considered . practical substitute
for silk under such conditions. Il II.

nitric acid, which removes the nitric scsd

offer 10 to build fine new bridge across the

Valuable and Upique Business Cali

The most convenient. valuable, and uni
que business table or desk calendar, for 1890.
is the Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand,
issued y the Pope Mfg. Co.. Of Boston.
Mass. The Calendar proper is in the form
of pad of 366 leaves, each 81 81 in. one
for each day of the year. to be torn OF
daily, and one for the entire year. A good
portion of each Leaf is blank for memoranda
and ~ the leaves are not pasted, but sewed
at the ends, any entire leaf can he exposed
whenever desired. BY an ingenious device,
the leaves tear of independently, leaving no
stub. The portable stand, which hol Is the
pad, contains pen rack and pencil holder. and
10 made of solid wood brass mounted. Upon
each slip appear quotations pertaining to cy-
cling from lending publications and promi-
nent writer's, and although this is the ffth
year of the calen lar, the quotations are fresh
and new. mentioning the notable facts in cy-
cling, opinions of medical authorities, clergy
men. and other professional gentlemen, the
rights of cyclers upon the road. advice upon
costumes, directions about road making. with
occasional mention of the bicycles and type
writer's made by the Pope Mfg. Co, and the
information therein contained would, if
placed in book {, pc, make fair sized volume.
