TO the Editor OF The tribune
S.r: In your issue OF July Is a special from
Providence, Il. l., refers TO the use OF ramie or
China grass cloth desirable material for sail
cloth also, the remark is there made that no
ramle is spun In this country. rnquestonaby
ramie or China grass fibre is the most durable In
water and Is the same time light, soft and
flexible while the fibre products among the
finest Of the textile world. and the raw material
is now easily obtained by importation and readily
worked by several processes. The sample OF
tapestry inclosed spun and woven In America,
shows the fact that such work is done. and that It
can be readily performed is known 10 a great many
The chief difficulty is that ramie fabrics are not
enough cheaper than silk nor much better than
linen. while the cost OF the raw material Is TOO
great.
Great efforts have been made 10 produce the raw
material In this country and there are many nclds
OF so-calIed ramie now growing, but the fibre Is
not to be compared with the imported article.
