New Haven.?A warning to the "silkworm that certain chemical compounds. which ore his chief business rivals, are inclined to combine against him. and a hint for him to study their modern efficient methods, was given by W. O. Mltscheriing of Italtimore, in his address on "Cellulose JSilk." before the American Chemical society. "While the silkworm turns out a high quality product and is justified <? ?v:il VIr Vflt ?*? a W lam l'. ?v -.a ?r?? ? cher!ins said. "'his stubborn refusal to hoed the entreaties of the sale? d?pirtmntt to speed up Is playing havoc ^ith his market. The modern woman cannot he bothered to wait for him, and so the spruce tree and the cotton plant are gobbling up the big orders. There producerr ere willing to stand for the introduction of sclentitle methods. For instance, cellulose (which is rhe technical name for spruce pr.lp and cotton 11 titers) '* very reasonable Good Silk From Cellulose. "The most recent discovery in artificial silk intifacture is that cellulose and -colic a* id combine under the proper chemical ^ircuinstaiv es to tea lie :> \?r. g??od silk. One of the most favored efficiency devices of the chemist is the use ..f what is knoivu us a "catalyst." The catalyst is the efficiency mar. ??: chemistry. 'In the case of the cellulose acetate silks, the pulp or cotton Utiters and acetic acid naturally combine very slowly. Rut the presence of sulphuric acid ??r ? zinc salt speeds up the reaction to c great pace. The sulphuric acid or /Idc salt- whichever is used. Is the catalyst. Tt does not become a part of the prodm : but it stirs the cellulose and acetic acid to great activity." Doctor Mitscherling said that t! eUuIosc acetate, formed after the ?*utulyst has Introduced the necessary "punch" into the process, is then dissolved In acetic acid or .some other solvent, and discharged through a nozzle containing exceedingly fine holes into water and Immediately becomes a fine 1 bread.

While Doctor Alltscherllng said that < eliulose silk will never entirely replace genuine silk, the textile mills are showing less and less patience with the laziness and Indifference of the silkworm, and be had better watch his steps or he will soon be losing a nice lot of his business to superior American ingenuity and progrean.
