sILKOUT or WOOD PULP.

There is now talk of erecting a
large silk manufacturing plant at
Niagara Falls, the power to be OBJ
tanned from the swift current of
the Niagara river. The silk, or
rather, artificial silk, is to be made
out of wood pulp, a group of cap
italists having obtained control of
a patented process for making silk
in that way. These capitalists de-
mand S750,00c for the patents, and
English interests have offered
100000 for the rights in the
United States.

the enterprise. They, however,
regard $75O,000 as too high price
to pay for the patents, inasmuch

large outlay. Benjamin Folsom,
formerly United State consul to
Sheffield, England, ain old resident
of Buffalo, visited the Falls few
days ago, and expressed himself
strongly in favor Of starting the
artificial silk industry there. He
said that American silk manufact-
urers had given him every possible
encouragement to take up the
project.
