and easily spun. The great diffi
culty with it has been lack of strength
durability. These qualities have
doubtless been supplied by the improve
ments which now bring it prominently
before the world as a substitute for cotton.
Herepeth's Journal several years ago, in
article on jute, said that if strength
durability were not wanting "it would
probably supercede all other fibrous ma
terial," and thus described theai ticleund
use; "From the period of its first pro
duction in the clear state, it slowly, and
its own accord, changes its color, lossing
beautiful pearly white, which at fitt
distinguishes it, and assuming successive
shades of fawn-color and brown. At the
time ita strength proportionally
diminishes. . Circumstances hasten or re
tard this decay, and moisture is particu
larly injurious to it. High-pressure steam
always melts it away so that when sail
adulerated with jute, is submitted

pressure.) for four hours, mere washing
afterwards removes the jute. It isbelievd
an improvement in the process of
setting would increase both its strength

enemy. 1 hey were :idvantngeou-ly post
