where a linen manufacturer of that
city, who had grown enthusiastic over
the plant, evolved fabric that closely
resembled the finest woven silk. This
fabric, which was named Borinquen,
after the ancient name of Porto Rico.
was made into some of the finest sort
OF dresses worn at Court receptions,
and was everywhere praised. The Bel
fast manufacturer, after making every
preparation to continue the weaving of
the fibre, had to give the project up in
despair, because of the uncertainty of
the supply. Ships from the distant ISL
and arrived seldom, and then with very
little of the plant product aboard.
While in many sections of the United
States the most determined effort is be-
ing made to propagate the sisal fibre,
and with varying degrees of success,
here in Porto Rico, with hardly any
trouble whatever, the plant attains a
hardy growth and is in evidence almost
everywhere. There is not the slightest
doubt that the employment of few
hundred thousand dollars by capitalists
in the United States would bring them
a large percentage of return.
The natives plait the fibre in a very
deft manner. They have a six-strand
plat, which they then over-plait into
another six strand, until at last they
fabricate piece of cloth as they call
it, of about the consistency of finely
woven carpet. The workmanship is
something remarkable when it is re-
called that the aid of machinery can
not be called in. Some of the fibre is
used for harness instead of leather and
does excellent service. At the present
time there is no systematic manufac-
ture of henequen into marketable goods,
but a number of men who have expert
mented in the past hope to interest
manufacturers of the North, who have
given an impetus to many innovations
in their various industries.
