COTTON TI'KNKB INTO SILK.
iiUL MAONEIi’S DISCOVERY iSP "’HAT
OKMB OF IT.
| A ft'"' weeks ago there arrived in
this city from New Orleans a dapper
little Frenchman named Paul Mag
her, accompanied by a Teutonic friend
of riper years, u Or. Edward Kuuo
itnan The former had been a prue
tlsing chemist In Now Orleans, and i
Bkiued lo betho discoverer of a won.
Wjrful process by which llax or cotton
®re could be converted into silk, or
■to a texture so nearly like silk us to
defy all ordinary inspections and
*ljes• • The results of this process of
Which the Frenchman alone had the j
Sheer, t had already been exhibited
by sumpie to a limited circle of man- j
Ufa,'Hirers and ex|ierta at Hie South. 1
So thorough and deceptive was the
change which it accomplished that 1
tho majority of such i>ersous could
only imagine a fraud. They smiled
with credulity at the assumption that
the "peoimens submitted to them by
the Frenchman were other than gen
uine silk, which, they insisted, he
must have substituted adroitly for j
the flax and cotton yarns that lie pro
fessed to have transformed. But Paul
Jlagner was a chemist of some repu- !
tation. He claimed that he had de
voted long, patient, months to the
analysis of the various fibres. In tile
aoeoon of the silkworm he had identi
fied certain elements which were
wanting in the fibres of the llax anil
cotton plants. Those elements, chem
ically obtained, he claimed to he able
to apply to tho latter products in sueii
manner that they should be convert
ed into an article which must be re
firded ns silk in all that the name
Iplies. Parcels of cotton and llax i
trns, accurately weighed, distinct
ly marked atid otherwise identi- j
fled, had been passed into his labora
tory bv the dozen, and within fifty
minutes he had returned correspond
ing ones of lustrous silk! The latter!
had even been analyzed by expert
chemists, and certified not to be real
silk, but to be veritable cotton and
flax yarns aforesaid.
THE INVENTOB COM US TO NEW YOKE.
A few persons accordingly were led
to believe in M. Maguerand his pro
cess. Among others was a New Or
leans agent of Messrs. Selignian &
Cos., bankers, of this city. The chem
ist had applied fora patent at Wash
ington and in several European coun
tries to protect his process, but lie
had no capital wherewith to work it.
An arrangement, was made with him
on behalf of this firm that he should
come on to New York to develop his
process, that they would supply him
with preliminary funds, and that so
80011 as he could convince them that
tho manufacture was practicable on
an extended scale un ample amount
of capital would be forthcoming to
take a partnership in Ids invention*
or to purchase the- right of using it
within a determined area. The Dr.
Kuneman referred to was a |>ersonal
friend of Magner’s, one who had ns
jdsted him la New (Meant) and whom
h" brought with him as an associate
Ki his ambitious projects.
K Meanwhile, tidings of the discovery ‘
and discoverer had reached Messrs.
.Trailßrothers, silk manufacturers at
"'Patterson, N. J., whose New York
gware-rooms are in No. W. Greene
street. Mr. Edwin T. Prall sought
out Monsieur Magner, anxious to he
informed of his remarkable discov
ery. He found him, as he told the
writer yesterday, to be an accom
plished, weil-road gentleman, appar
ently acting in perfect good faith and
utterly absorbed in tile possibilities
of his discovery. If anything, ho was
fjoo enthusiastic, too rapt, and was
Consequently nervous and excitable
t.u a degree. With a Frenchman, and
an inventor, however, this was per
haps natural; and so it was arranged
that lie could have the use of Messrs.
•Pi-all's silk factory at Patterson—
there to perfect and amplify his meth
lod.s, and there to begin the new mail
lufacturo. The Frenchman was to
j have the use of machinery and power.
The manufacturers expected to be ids
( agents for the sale of the goods, and
| the Seligmans, as already stated,
i were to advance the capital as
I "special” partners, or, as was deter
! mined later, a joint stock company
( was to be formed, with a proportioh
i ate interest to each.
“there’s millions in it."
} The mercurial and sanguine inven
fctor was sobli busied in the construc-
Ition of retorts and apparatus of vari
fous kinds. In these labors he was
assisted bv his friend Dr. Kuneman.
M onday week both made their ap- \
Paterson the former ac
ycompanied by a indy as his wife, and
si pretty little girl, then daughter.
The whole party put up ut the. Ham
ilton House. The Frenchman began
to be very busy at tile Prall’s mills,
. in overalls and shirtsleeves, tnanu- \
faeturing Ills chemicals. A quantity
of the latter, prepared for the trims
mutation of cotton, llax, Ac., into
silk, was soon in readiness. A small
.parcel of flax yarn was ope-
Erated on; woven into ribbon by
jprall’s machinery; cnitir out. as
fglossy us th purest silk. Ml eon
Hoerned were in eestacies. “There’s
[millions in it,” was the unanimous
lory, ami it whs thereupon baptize |.
| and was to be known in commerce by
I tUp name of soieiie.
I MYSTF.RIOttS DISAPPEARANCE OF THE IN
VENTOR.
I But now comes a most singular
I story from Paterson. Wednesday of
I last week the Frenchman suddenly
I disappeared. The Doctor could not
I account for his absence. Madame
[ and her little daughter seemed to
| take the matter tranquilly. Tim
: Pralls were mystified. Soon after his
j disappearance the proprietor of the
hotel received a telegram from Mr.
; Seltgman, asking him to advise when
| tho lady should leave. This she did
1 Friday last, since which time nothing
| has been heard either of herself or
| her talented liege. Mr. Edwin Prall
l says lie has learned of her departure
for Europe, possibly prearranged
| with the mysterious chemist. The
t Doctor is still in New York, and pro
r fesses to be in a terrible quandary at
i the desertion of his friend. He had
I left, lie says, a lucrative practice in
New Orleans to found his fortunes in
| the silken bonanza.
Mr. Prall still maintains perfect
I faith in the Frenchman's process and
I the integrity of tile man himself. He
f thinks that the latter was worried
[ and overwrought, perhaps became
[ entirely crazy, and fled to Europe to
escape" imaginary evils. A box of
[ ribbons, woven from common iiux
yarn, but brilliant as from the looms
| of Lvons, remains at Mr. Prall’s
i offlee’to testify to what might have
I been.
