SILK COCOONS RAISED IN
HONOLULU SUCCESSFULLY

than / per cent, as previously stated.
On putting some of this bOiled-off
silk on the testing reel fC~ examination
Gin which state Won can form a sOunder
opinion than you can before boiling
on, we find that it makes a very fair
organzine, being quite regular, and
with a good deal of elasticity, and
fairly brilliant.
The main criticism to be made of it
is it's hairiness, and this is due princi-
pally or entirely to the nature Of the
cocoons
For comparison. we would say that
it IS very similar to an Ardeche CLASH
cal Silk. Ardeche ranks in about the
second grade of Cevennes Silk, and
Classical, as you know, is the second
classification. This hairiness IS com
mon TO all Cevennes Silks.
By getting European quotation on
the grade above referred to you will
therefore be able to arrive at fair
idea of its commercial value.
The Piedmont, China and Japan silks
are, of course, not so hairy. and this
hairiness would make the silk insult
able for some purposes.
/ would suggest that you would find
it of interest to wind a little, both of
the boiIed-off and unboiIed-off, and by
then winding them on to testing reel
you viii be able to get an excellent
idea of the points above referred to.
Referring to what you say in your
letter of Nov 10th / would state that
return of 1 pound of silk for 3
pounds of cocoons is a frst-class re-
turn.
If there are any other points that

PREPARING To MOVE
GOVERNMENT ARCHIVES

Pending the removal of the archives
to the fireproof building erected for
their care and custody, access to the
archives room in the Capitol attic will
be closed to all but members of the
Commission. Secretary Lydecker in
the meantime will have to disappoint
the many applicants for information
on the earlier history of Hawaii.
Governor Carter has received, as the
gift of E. A. Mott-Smith, the diary of
the late Captain William Patty, the
first harbor master of Honolulu. It
dates from 1912 and contains a valu-
able record of the early shipping of
the ports. The diary takes its place
in the Government archives. A f.
Judd member of the Archives Com
mission received the contribution
from Mr.. Mott-Smith, a descendant of
the diarist.

SILK MANUFACTURERS REPORT

The Clifton Silk Mills, lPostofice, Wee
hawken, n. J.
Town of Union, n. j., Dee. 16, 1905.
DR.. l.. o. Howard, Bureau of Entomok
ogy, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
Dear DR.. Howard: I beg to report
| on the Hawaiian silk as follows:
The silk seems generally to have
| good strength and elasticity. It seems
in places to be rather irregularly
reeled, the result being that in the
winding it breaks much oftencr than 1t
should:
This skein broke seventeen times in
the winding, whereas silks that we are
regularly handling would not break
more than three times at the most; still
1t is only fair to say that as this skein
had been opened and examined by us
before putting on the winding, it might
have Jared a little better in this re-
sPeet had it gone directly on the ma
chine.
There were, however, scattered
through it, weak places.
The size of the silk we make to be
about ii deniers.
To get a proper Judgment we threw
this into two skeins of organzine and
boiled off one of the skeins. The
boiled-off skein weighed 7S6 grains,
and after boiling off weighed sos
grains, loss of over % per cent. One
per cent. of this might be accounted
for by soap and oil, and possibly there
may have been some atmospheric diff
ference between the time it was
weighed in the thrown state and in the
time 1t was weighed in the boiled-ott
state.
AS we are returning to you the skein
of organzine not boiled off and the
skein boiled off you can make yourself
exact determinations in this respect
from the 3ormer.
We do not think that the soap and
oil put IN here will amount to more
