cIoTn FROM STRAW.

The making of cloth from straw by means of process just announced has caused much comment among textile manufacturers. Common straw can now be treated. according to a report from Reichenberg. Austria. so that 1t is possible to obtain fiber suitable for spinning. The discover CTS assert their success so far exceeds their original expectations. The in- fiuence of this new material on the textile industry will be far-reaching. While the entire method Is not re- vealed. IL appears the straw is reduc- ed to a jelly-like substance by boiling. causing the separation of the fiber from the outer shell. and the fiber is then treated in hot-air machines. To this product is added another fibrous material, but never moro than 20 per cent. so that fully so per cent ia straw The resulting stuff has many of tho characteristics of the fore yarn used in Jute spinning. The prin- cipal advantages pointed out by tho inventors are that the new fiber has all the merits of yarns now produced. that the cost is only one half that Of similar products: that the goods arc In every way desirable. Experts who have examined this material are agreed as to the truth of these as- sentions s-Indianapolis News.
