β¦ Synopsis
Nettle Cloth.--At Langenschwalbach, Prussia, some interesting experiments have been made with the fibre of the common nettle. When treated in the same way as hemp, the fibres were as fine as silk and as strong as linen. The result of the first experiments was so encouraging, that a large plantation of nettles has been made, in order to test the manufacture on an extensive scale.--.Les Mondes.
