Tho BEGINNING of Satin.

The discovery of the principle Of
the manufacture of satin was pure
accident. The discovery was made by
silk weaver named Octavio Mai.
During dull period of business one
day he was pacing before his loom.
not knowing how to give new i'm
pulse to his trade. AS he passed the
machine each time he pulled short
threads from the warp and, following
an old habit. put them into his mouth
and rolled them about, soon after
splitting them upon the floor. Later he
discovered n little ball of silk upon the
floor of his shop and was astonished at
the brilliancy of the threads He re-
peated the experiment and eventually
employed various mucilaginous prep
arations and succeeded in making satin.

from town, sometimes on the eve OF a
