Ranie Cloth.

Department., contain something of great
interest to Southern readers. Many ex-
periments have been made in the manu-
facture of cloth or yarn from the rhea
or ramie plant. These experiments have
usually proven unsuccessful, because
no mode of decortication and degum-
ming had been until very recently in
vented. Consul Claude Meeker, at Brad
lord, England, writes, under the date of
August %. 1895, that this mode has at
last been ascertained, and tests which
have apparently been successful, have
been made. The making of ramie sails
instead of cotton sails for some celebrat-
ed American yachts has stimulated in
quiries on the part of American manu-
facturers as to machinery, methods of
spinning, etc. He says the spinning Of
ramie has been carried on in the Brad
ford district at different times. In every
case it has been abandoned for the rea-
son that there was not sufficient DEM and
for the yarn tc make it a rrofta BILE pro
L
sole reason for this is because the fibre
is produced from raw material that is
immature, coarse and unfit for such
use. Mr.. Felix Max Raabe, he says, a
gentleman who has given the thought
full study of lifetime to such flores as
flax, hemp and ramie, assured HIM that
the only reason the ramie product has
been failure, financially, is because it is
harvested when the stalks are green,
full of juice and tender, instead of when
they are mature, and the fibre has at
tanned It's full strength. softness and
fneness. He states that the reason that
the immature stalks have been used
hitherto is because the bark and wood
could be removed in this state by hand,
and with the mature stalk it could not
He has overcome this difficulty by the
invention of machinery that will remove
all the bark and waste from the plant in
it's mature state, and leave staple from
one to three or four feet long in perfect
condition. BY the new process the plant
can be produced and turned into yarn
ready for commerce, and used for all the
purposes of flax and hemp, at cost
much less than either Of these articles.
The Consul adds; 81 have also seen
wooden cloth Of a very respectable char
acter in which the ramie was mixed, and
its presence could not be detected save by
the closest examination" Mr.. Raabe's
invention and his judgment on the mat
ter have been endorsed in writing by
Stanton Hill, the noted London expert
on these flores.
Consul James B. fancy, at Belfast,
writes under date of May s. 1895, that
he has observed a number of textile fac
tories in that vicinity have been weav-
ing ramie yarns into cloth. 1t is claimed
for the cloth made Of a mixture of linen
and ramie that it is equally as good and
marketable as all linen, and cheaper by
II to Is per cent. The textile manufac'
turers are skeptical, but some of them
are giving the subject trial. The cloth
is said to take dyes of all colors admira-
bly,, and looks and feels well. There are
objections to the white cloth which the |
friends of ramie expect to see removed. |

These reports are proYerblaily worth
less. and the whole thing, for the past
half dozen years, has been scarcely
worth publication, except to call atten-
ton to the inaccuracies and the neces-
sity of the Boards adopting some new
and better method.
The enumeration of1S94 showed a de-
crease in population from 1898, Of l.
724. and a decrease in youth of 1,4O2.
The count just compiled shows a fur
Their decrease in youth Of 361, while the
net gain in population is given as Ill.
In other words, the city is now supposed
to have ,765 less youths than in 1893,
which is preposterous.
OF the LILY gain in population over
1894. 945 are alleged to be in the Third
ward. where the population is shown
by the figures to have jumped from g.
go in 1894 to 1915 in 1895. There was
the same trouble in this ward a year
ago. when the enumeratOrs returns
showed a loss of 626. The fact is,
neither the count of 1894, nor the one
just made, is anything like accurate,
and the whole thing is unreliable, as the
Register has often pointed out.
