Of late years the dwarf palm so album
dant in Africa has been proftably util-
lied by French artisans, the leaves, it is
stated, furnishing so per cent Of fiber
which is extensively used as a cheap
substitute for horsehair, according to
the following process: The fiber is ex-
tracted either by hand combing or by
means of drums with needles and knives
worked by steam power. The green fiber
is twisted or curled in it's raw state and
finds several applications. The black
sort is at first dyed in baths of sulphate
Of iron and logwood, then twisted and
again dyed This fiber, it is alleged,
possesses two advantages over animal
fiber, which have led to it's extensive
employment, it being exempt from in
sect destruction and some rs per cent
less expensive than horsehair. There
are, it is said, large works in Algeria,
where the leaves are bought in large
quantities and the fiber cleaned on a
commercial scale. In Oran one factory
prepares daily some 60 bales of 300
pounds each. In another, by a particular
process, a firm prepares the material
black and brilliant, without smell or
dust, at the rate Of SO tons per month.
AS material for the coarser descriptions
OF paper it has also proved serviceable.
