The grandmother claimed the

SILKWORM OUTDONE
BY ARTIFICIAL SILK
Mans Ingenuity Produces in
Rayon a Fabric That Fulflls
Wide Demand.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The
silk worm, after losing it's secret, is
giving way to the competition of man 8
science and machinery.
Rayon, an artificial textile fabric
closely resembling silk in appearance,
is used in the manufacture of hosiery,
which consumes one-fifth of the do
mestic production, and of ribbon, cot
ton and Woolen goods. Its tensile
strength is greater than cotton and
less than silk.
Count Hilaire de Chardonnet was
the first to produce rayon, and he
called 1t artificial silk when he intro
duced the fabric at the Paris Expo-
sition in 1864. His invention resulted
from a study of the organic process
which takes place as the silk worm
produces silk.
Initiating this artificially, he pro.
duced a vegetable fiber which organic.
ally resembled cotton more than silk.
improvements were made in the pro-
cess until cellulose, the material con-
stituting the cell, walls of plants, could

scale.
Many processes are used, but in all
some type of cellulose is reduced to a
jelly-like mass and pumped through

capillary tubes so small as to be in
