| Cambridge, Mass. Aug. 15.-A silk
purse made from Sows' ears, as chem
/ istrys answer to the old saying that
it couldn't be done, will be shown at
the Chemistry Exposition in New
| York during the week of Septem-
Der IL.
In announcing the successful result
| of experiments, Arthur D. Little, Inc,
chemists and engineers, of this city.
said the silk was not very strong and
that there was no present industrial
value in the process involved. It was
more~or less the product of chemistry
at play, but a contribution also to
philosophy in proving the fallacy of
the old proverb.
| - In reciting the factors that entered
into the transition of sows' ears from
1 Chicago stockyards to a silk purse
such as woman might carry, the
chemists explained that the first step
was to analyze the silkworm's method
| of making silk. This done. its cater
| pillar chemistry. was copied in the
| laboratory.
1t was found that man had to pro-
! vide substitute for a process by
which the silkworm exudes from two
fine ducts in its head minute threads
of a viscous liquid, coated with an
other secretion. which are cemented
into a double strand. This becomes a
firm fflament of silk when it coagu-
| lates on reaching the air.
Analysis of this viscous liquid
showed it to be like glue and with
somewhat similar chemical proper-
| ties. The sow's ear being chiefly girls
tie and skin, also has the natural ele-
ments OF glue This was obtained
from the ears and it was put thru sew
eral processes of preparation, filtered
under pressure and placed in spin
ming apparatus of a special design.
The solution of glue and chemicals
came out as sixteen very fine color
less streams, joined into one COMPOSITE
fiber, treated to give it strength and
color, and processed yet again to OBJ
tain the desired soft, silky feel. The
weaving followed on a small hand
loom. the fabric was formed and the
purse made.
