Germany, reports new method for
the manufacture of artificial silk In
vented by DR.. Fremery and Civil En-

injurious nitro-cellulose is omitted.
These inventors dissolve cotton waste
in copper oxide of ammonia, and pump
this solution through ine tubes. The
-<::a;eass threats are passed through
Diluted acid, which separates the cop
perand ammonia, the result being an
extremely fine, lustrous fibre, which
is employed as an imitation silk. This
process, patented in Germany and in
all:otfer civilized States, is said to
]iaveI the following advantages over
thosesof Chardonnet and Lehner: ~
That the manufacture as we'll rs the
