SILK MADE OF HoRsEFLEsH.

German chemists are reported to
have succeeded in utilizing fibrous
animal refuse-such as the flesh Of
dead horscs-for making artificial
silk. Treatment with acids Iisin,
iegrates the flesh into its ultimate
fihers, and these are given a silky ape
pea,ance, with great durability, by
kind of tanning process. The
threads produced greatly resemble
those Of tile wild siIkworm, are about
two inches long. They may be Yul-
canized like true silk, and can be
made alright and watcr'ight by inn
mcrsion for a couple of hours in a
caoutchouc bath under a pressure of
four atmosphcrcs. The material
seems to promise something cheaper
than silk for balloon envelopes, insu-
lation, etc, though attempts to spin
the fbers into thread have not yet
been successful.
