TESTING MATERIALS.

DURITY of silk and woolen materials is
best tested by burning the threads.
All animal products, such SiEI and
wool, burn slowly and leave Il sOrt of little
charcoal head, which emits an odor like
burnt feathers. Vegetable products, such
as cotton and linen, burn readily. leave
40 residuum, and have no smell. Jute
shoulders aud leaves light, feathcring
head. Jute is rarely found in any dress
fabrics with the exception Of very cheap,
silk.
\ way to test linen, by means OF which
the introduction of cotton among the linen
threads may be detected, is to cut off
small piece of the material, to unravel the
threads. and then to examine them Under
strong magDifyipg glass. The character
iStiCs offlaX threads are very marked. They
are in the form of cylindrical stalks. divided
at intervals by knots, in the same way as
bamboo or sugar canestalks. Cottonthreads
are Song and flattened like ribbon. waved,
twisted in spirals and granulated on the
surface.
