Cashmere From India.
,CR
i The wool of the Cashmere goat was
first imported into England from In-
d'a in 1820, the original fahrie an
imitation of the famous Cashmere
shawl from India.
Altheugh clothing made of wool
from the alpaca of South America ---a
TERIALS IN COMMON USE grotesque -looking animal of the
carrel tribe, deer size—was worn in
that country from remote antiquity,
not until the first half of the nine-
teenth century was alpaca wool
brought to the knowledge of spinners
in England. Tiwus Salt was the fa-
ther of the English industry—and
this by mere lucky chance. For the
gentleman had a mania for auctions,
and at one in Liverpool stumbled
upon an. old consignment of the, al-
paea variety dumped upon the wharf
months before. Considered virtually
worthless, he bought it at a bargain
and started in experimenting. So
Fueeessful was the manufacturer in
the results obtained that in 1864 he
opened an alpaca factory, which in
its top-notch days gave ettployment
to as many as 4,000 workers.
Serge has been used in Europe
since thtwelfth century.
Mohair, the. fine silken hair of the
Angora goat, was brought to Lon-
don by the Turkey Company in the
sixteenth century.
Calico was introduced into England
from Calieut, India, by the East In-
ida. Company, 11131. A picturesque
story lies hidden in the commonplace
o its name. For Calicut is a corrup-
tion of Calieoda, a Hindoo word
meaning the "cock crowing," the
town so called because the first Mon-
arch of Malabou, India, as a reward
to a war chief for distinguished ser-
vice rendered in battle presented
him with "all the land within the
limit of nhich a cock crowing at a
certain temple could be heard."
The Origin of Gingham.
Chintz (Iiindustanee ehhint, mean-
ing spotted( was originally the name
under which all printed cotton cloth
was exported from India.
While the fabric first came from
India, the name gingham originated
in the fact that its early European
tmanufaeture was at Guingamp,
France -41a forebears of the present-
day aristocratic ginghams, with their
fine, beautiful texture, their artistic,
complicated plaid designs, being very
plain plebeian weaves with two or
more colors, in small checkered pat-
terns
The word dimity tells its own story
when its name is parted in the middle,
di and mitos the Greek for two -
threaded.
Some assert that the word lawn is
derived from Laon, France, but a
much prettier explanation for that
dainty fabric that we instinctively
associate with a summer day of sun-
shine and soft, sweet air, is that the
material was always spread out to
bleach on' smooth lawns, instead of
upon coarse, ordinary grass.

Silk Introduced Into Europe.
The conquests of Alexander the
Great (350-323 B.('.) brought the
knowledge of silk into Europe. But
hundreds of years passed before the
importation of silk goods was follow-
ed by its manufacture. Not until 552
A.D. did two Persian monks, who had -
been on a religious embassy to India
and learned the fairy secret of silk
production, at a cost of great person-
al hardship and danger, bring to Con
stantinople precious silkworm eggs.

Man struggles hard for its possession,
He gains—he holds without conces ion
This treasure rare—from Nature's

Deep -down in human hearts is Love,
A treasure rich and beautiful;
Its mystic source makes life worth

MARE -UP OF OUR PLANET
What Composes Outer Crust to a
Depth of Ten Miles.
Science can only guess what goes
to make . up. the main body of the
planet on which • we dwell. But it
knows what the outer crust is made
of! --to a depth, say, of ten miles
because the materials have been
"coughed up" by volcanoes and are
easily studied.
This crust is composed of about
eighty primary substances, or "ele-
ments," among which are numbered
the various metals. Gold, for exam-
ple, is an element; iron is agother,
I and aluminum is another.
Nearly 8 per cent. of the earth's
crust is aluminum, which is the most
plentiful of all the metals. It oc-
curs in nearly all rocks, every clay -
bank is 'a m ne^of it. But to separate
it from its ores is so difficult that
until recently it was a mere curiosity
of the laboratory.
e"Four and a half per cent. of the
earth's crust is iron. Aside from
that metal, the useful elements com-
mercially : available before electricity
took a hand in the game, such as
capper, lead, zinc, silver, nickel and
tin, together comprised less than 1
per cent. of the earth's e rust.
Electricity has made available
Other valuable eleients (alnniinum
among them), which consbttute nearly
one -+half of the crust ''of the planet.
