Search for Finer Wool.

The possibility of developing new
sources of fine wool has been sug.
gested. Referring In Nature to new
search for the golden fleece, Prof. J.
C. Ewart of the University of Edin-
burgh states that the first domesticat'
ed sheep in Europe we're undoubtedly
introduced about 1000 B. O., and that
nearly pure descendants of this an
cient Neolithic breed-a urial, Owls
yiegnei--still survive on the small I'M
inhabited island of Soay (Sheep Is
land). near st. Kilda. Crosses be.
tween Soay and Southdown sheep
yield excellent mutton, with wool of
remarkable strength and quality; and
the late discoveries Indicate that
crosses of the urial with other wild
types may yield still finer and more
beautiful wool. These discoveries in
clude that of wool forming the inner
coat OF several of the wild sheep Of
Asia. This wool is longer than tina;
of the Soay sheep, and decidedly finer
than and quite as white as superfine
Australian merino, regarded as the
