A young student at Sao Paulo, Brazil, may save millions of; dollars for his country by a new discovery he made recently while working for his doctor's degree. Coffee ia shipped from Brazil in sacks made of burlap, which is manufactured from jute, and the student has found that instead of jute there can be used a weed which grows rank in the pastures and has long been considered a nuisance. Jute is especially liable to damage by moisture, and the fibre from this weed is supposed to be much better in this respect, besides being cheaper.
