Artificial silk is now being made In Europe from
wood fibre, under English patent The American
consul at Stettin writes of it, THE sample shown
me was very soft and OF cream color Each
thread Is made up OF eighteen single strands. A
single strand IS hardly perceptible to the naked
eye AS to the relative strength Of a real silk
thread and this imitation. the real silk is two
thirds stronger. It is said to take coloring or
dyeing readily, and when woven into pieces has
the appearance Of real silk 1t is impossible to get
samples here, or information as to the process of
manufacturing. excepting that particular kind
OF wood is required and that the pulp undergoes
chemical process and is pressed through very
fns tubes by hydraulic pressure forming the single
strands which go to make up the thread"
