How Cloth Is Tested.

When the cloth arrives, it Is slowly
passed over double roller which meas
ures the yards. and carefully examined
for the purpose of discovering any de-
fects in the manufacture. IL there are
ary-broken threads or loosely woven
spots-they are indicated by sewing a
string in the margin. and the cutter is
thus able to avoid the defective portion.
Then we cut off small piece Of the
goods and put it outside on window
sill. where. for ten days, it is exposed to
the sun and the rain If it fades, it is
rejected Then we test by chemicals to
see If the dye stuff is indigo, which is
the surest dye that can be made IL the
color produced by the use Of this test is
a bright orange, it indicates that the dye
has an indigo basis.
After that piece of the goods is put
in solution of caustic potash, which
has the effect of eating up the animal
fiber and leaving the vegetable fiber
Some cloth manufacturers nowadays
instead of making their goods of separate
threads OF cotton and of WOOL take cot
ton and wool and mix them in such a
way that no one. by merely feeling. can
tell whether or not there is cotton in the
