How Cotton Is Treated to Prevent
Shrinkaoe

MerceriZation is the process OF
treating cotton under tension in a
caustic-so solution, thus PREVENT
ing the shrinkage and so giving it
gloss. The yarn. after being washed
and dried, is put into the caustic soda
for about fifteen minutes. Then it is
stretched back to its original size,
and possibly again put through the
caustic- soda solution under tension.
While still being stretched it is
washed in water containing a chem
ical: in most cases culphuric acid
This chemical counteracts any harm
full effec: which the caustic soda
might have on the cloth and keeps 1t
from stretching. says the Detroit
News.
Usually the material is bleached
after the mercerizing. though the or
der of the processes may be reversed.
Finally it is dyed. sinsed and calen-
dered. The yarns may be gassed be-
fore they are mercerized, SO that
ends of the fbers are burned off.
Calendering. on the other hand, is
merely passing the material under
rollers, engraved with fine lines,
which so press the threads of tss
cloth that it reflects the light and has
high luSter.

Oxygen BIowpipe To Break Up Metal

The breaking up of large, solid
masses of iron or steel, for the pur-
pose of remelting. has heretofore been
such a slow and costly operation as
to be seldom INDUCED in. and many
blocks of metal of this kind have
therefore been abandoned as worse
than worthless. The oxygen blow
pipe, a cheap and simple apparatus
and quick in operation, has wonder
fully changed all this, says the Com
pressed Air magazine.
For example, we can have cylin-
drical mass of metal, technically
known as a "ladle set" more than
six feet in diameter. Of equal length,
and weighing more than forty-five
tons. A most hopeless case. A long
piece of one-quarter Inch iron pipe
is connected by flexible hose with a
bottle of oxygen. The free end of
the pipe is made red hot and the oXy-
gen slowly and carefully turned on.
The end Of the pipe begins to burn
with intense heat and when thrust
against the block it begins to bore a
