SILK ssour 'ro SUP!-JRSEDR C0'l"f‘ON-- PEBHAPS !—We hall with delight the an- nouncement, that a savant has just made so valuable a discovery in the art of pre- paring silk, that this article will become cheaper and more common than cotton. This savanl, it appears, one day having nothing else to do, began to think, which is wonderful for a savant, says Alphonse Knrr—tliat there was but one creature capable of producing silk—that there was but one description of vegetable mat- ter, that of the mulberry tree, ﬁtted for the creature's food, therefore the silk substance must he not in the ammo, but in the vegetable matter; so at once the mean! set about (“What! eating inulberries’! interrupted the gumin Prince Napoleon, when the story was told in the Tuileries. He was rebuked by a regard superieur, and the story went oii)—ilie sat-ant set about anal zing the composition of the mulberry leaf? an by boiling it to a thick paste has pro- duced every description of silk in im- meiice quantities.

I have seen several yards of it manu- factured, and although wanting a little of the gloss belonging to that spun by the worm, I can pronounce it far superior to The price of the silk is ﬁve francs a pound when spun, being 120 francs cheaper than that of the present day. This new method of procuring silk will at once he adopted in all countries, as the mulberry can be grown in any pountry, and re- quires scarcely any culture. The cul-_ tivation of this new branch of industry will do away entirely with that of cotton. -—Paris Corr. London /lllas.
