IN BEWILDERING WHIRL.

Extending the length OF the floor are metal
tables some in large round shapes. others IN long
narrow ones. Upon these balance tall. slender bob
bins or spools wound with threads Of vivid silk to
the number of from eighteen to more than hun
dred on table. At touch upon a lever the little
bobbins dance in maze OF mingled color. Blue

turning around partners. dancing in twos and
threes In costumes Of contrasting color.
Most beautiful, perhaps. are the maypols dancers.
On one round table eghty-one rose colored bobbins
occupy the outer edge. each holding a thread that
Is caught up in a dome-shaped centre above the
table. The Oobbins weave in and out among one an
other In circle, with swift. graceful movement.

Newly Invented mechanism for making radiunn
braids is called radium machine although neither

top OF radtum machine Is a large table OF poll

side The jacquard machine is OF the Won
derful inventions of this age and has revoIutionfzed
processes OF decorating woven fabrics. Upon the
radlum braid table over hundred bObbins dance
IN couples In grooves on the outer rim while at
the direction of the controlling machine certain
spools describe curve like a skaters glide from,
an inner circle through the two rows OF speeding
bobbins and out upon the edge OF the table where

make a single narrow soutache braid, and that
eight OF these braids in many colors are made
on one table. some idea can be gathered of tba
orderly maze OF color and the lively motion that
make this room in a braid nanufactory one of
exceptional fascination.
BESIDES the thousands OF braid machines on this

Complicated Mechanism Seems Su-
perhumdn in It's PO7cer of Doing
Intricate Work.

This has been called the mechanical age-the
age when inventive genius has been most prolific
In results The attention OF the world has centred
apon the flying machine the wonderful accom-
pshments Of the turbine engine. the possibilities
OF the gyroscope. and in manufacturing circles are
noted the less marvellous inventions applied 10
the processes Of weaving, embroidery. lace making
and braid making
The braid machine does intricate work in its
way a do mechanical devices with which the world
is much more familiar. one Brooklyn factory, for
instance. operates more than 5000 braidins ma
chimes each with It's complicated series OF attach
ments quite independent OF thousands OF other
equipments for the preparation OF threads. cords
and ''hllers" that enter into the manufacture Of
braids. 1t is astonishing to the number of
processes through which hlaments pass in a fac
tory before they OUT braids-
Hanks and skeiRs OF thread to be wound are
hung upon a frame. where girls separate and
straIghten out the strands that all hang loose.
Long parallel double rows Of machines fitted with
spoksd wheels and spools receive the skeins.
These are stretched around the wheels and wound
upon the spools. In motion all represent solid
bands OF animated color, over one thousand
bright revolving wheels webs OF shimmering
threads and innumerable whiTling spools forming
d raInbow-like effect.
Larger wheels and spools required for hanks
Of worsted and mohair. Certain machines twist
from one to fifty strands OF silk 10 form single
thread or cord. On the twisting machines groups
of six tiny hand-like tensions draw the threads
taut from rows of six spools and send them wind
ing around an upper spool. If one thread breaks
all the tensions Immediately stop until the thread
is repaired. Tension bars have different appii-
ances for tightening the thread different spools
These are several times tall the spool with
which we are familiar, and they vary in size
cording to that OF the thread cord to be wound
upon them. Some hold soutache cords, over
which are wrapped silk for soutache braids; others
have saw-shaped teeth. for braidng purposes;
