Worlds Fair Glass Workers entertain
ment next week an exchange says: 1.-THE 4
glass is spun out as fine as hair on 4
heavy wheel 81 inches in circumference,
and the glass as spun out is so fine that ii 4
is much finer than a SPIDERS web. 1t 1
would take from Is to 20 Thousand threads /
to cover one inch space. This is wonder \
fully fine, and here IL is as flexible as silk 1
and is woven like silk. The warp OF the I
fabric is silk and the filling, put in by the /
shuttle, which is thrown by hand In the |
old fas hioned way, is OF silk. The filling I
contains from % to 80 filaments Of glass I
and one thread of silk. Ii Is wound on a
quill or spool for the shuttle, but is run |
from the skein directly into the warp, the /
shuttle being of unique construction. The
weavers in town are greatly interested in
the process The more familiar glass blow
ing and fancy work is also conducted in
the hall. This part OF the exhibition lasts
from 80 to 9 and a pleasing instrumental
program is gwen during the same time"
