[The hair of the horse is a most important article to themanufacturer. Two kinds are recognised— curly andstraight.
The preparation of hair for the manufacture of damaskhair-cloth and other fabrics, consists essentially in steepingit in an alkaline liquid until it is fit for use. It is subse-quently dyed. When of the desired colour and supple-ness, it is woven in an ordinary loom, and hot-calendered.Hair-ropes are formed as other ropes. Hair for stuffingis formed of the requisite elasticity by boiling such ropesso as to give to their fibres a permanent tortuous springycharacter.—R. E.]

A cloak, muff, and ruffles, made from the feathers of theColymbus cry status.
Muff , made from the feathers of the marabou.
[Much value is attached to the plumage of the under-surface of the great crested grebe, a large water-birddistributed throughout the greater part of Europe , espe-cially where there are extensive fens and lakes, andextending its range to parts of Asia, Africa, and NorthAmerica . It is a swimmer, rarely flying or walking. Itis the Colymbus cristatus of older, Podiceps cristatus oflater, ornithologists. Among British birds it is the largest of our divers. The skin of the male bird is most valued.
Marabou feathers are the under-tail coverts of certainkinds of stork, especially Ciconia argala and C. marabou.They inhabit tropical Asia and Africa . The adjutant, orgigantic crane of India , is one of them, and furnishes thebest feathers. The Marabou storks are scavengers ; theIndian species stands six or seven feet high.—E. F.]

Turkey-red cloth, dyed with Dutch madder.
[In the Class of the United Kingdom to which printedand dyed fabrics belong (Class 18), a note briefly de-scribes this process of dyeing Turkey -red. Madder is thesource of the colour 5 but its brilliance is greatly owing tocertain points in the manipulation, and perhaps to cer-tain qualities in the water, wliich are not often sufficientlyattended to. Nor indeed can they ever have been said tobe clearly defined.—It. E.]
