The old-time magic of extricating rabbits out of a silk hat fades into ininsignificance beside the achievement of a noted American chemist, Mr Wallace H. Carothers, who said recently that he could produce a pair of silk stockings out of the air. Explaining his discovery, Mr Carothers said: “This materia], resembling thistle down, would make a pair of silk stockings. There are a variety of substances, such as sebacic acid and ethylene glycol, that can be extracted from the air. Any one will make a silky floss. Our experiments have proved definitely that a synthetic cloth can be made by the treatment of these acids with a petrol by-product. No one knows where this process will lead. If perfected, in time of war almost any product could be manufactured.”
