TRANSPARENT SILK.
A Japanese Product Used For Pre-
serving Old Manuscripts.

serving Old Manuscripts.
The original manuscripts of old
books and old records are exceedingly
valuable and are preserved with great
care. for II destroyed OF course. they
cannot be replaced They can be
guarded from fire and from overmucn
handling. and now an additional safe
guard has been found in japanese silk.
Its use has removed n fear existing
in the minds Of librarians that there
was no way out of 1t and that the rare
old manuscripts would simply have to
have their day and then dry up and
return TO their original elements. Hap
PLY the use of IA silk of extreme thin
ness and transparency has settled the
question of the life Of these manu-.
scripts for the next two or three hun.
dred years at least. BY that time some
other method may be discovered. This
silk Is thinner than the thlnnest tissue
paper. the threads being finer than
spider webs. IL is pasted over the
manuscript so firmly that IT keeps off
all dust and air and yet is so transpar-
ent that it does not interfere any more
with the appearance Of the manuscript
than would AN ordinary plate of glnss
1t strengthens the manuscript so that
the danger Of handling Is reduced TO n
minimum.
The library Of congress Is now en-
gagged in examining ana protecting all
Of its old manuscripts with this silk,
and while it is an immense task Il will
probably be completed before long.
This silk is by no means costly, and
unless person Is somewhat expert I'm
the matter OF old manuscripts he
would be unable TO recognize the fact
that silk had been used.-New York
