Some years ago George Meredith
lad house built for himself which
was rather small, although extremely
comfortable. One day lady visited
him, and with great pride he showed
her over the place. After their tour
of inspection the visitor turned to
her host and with disappointed
expression said: I'm your books you
describe huge castles and baronial
halls but when you come to build you
put up a little house like this. Why
Is it? We'll" replied the author,

he extracts any oil or fat which may
be in the thread by soaking in ether,
then he sterilizes 1t by boiling in BIZ

1t to process which deposits silver

with solution of indiarubber. That
particular product, he thinks, could
not undergo change from the absorp

other of his plans is to soak the
thread for between twenty seconds
and four minutes in sulphuric acid
and after free washing with water
to remove the moisture with alcohol.
The silk is then subjected to hard
ening process by means of tannin
and absolute alcohol. This silk is
said to be as strong as untreated silk
