(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright) Received Tuesday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 25. The discovery of a new pigment monastral, a fast blue and the first since Prussian blue in 1826, is announced by the Imperial Chemicals. It is claimed to be sweat-resistant, fast to light, acids, alkalies and lime and will withstand temperatures to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It is insoluble to oil, spirits and nitrocellulose solvents. It is prophesied that it will revolutionise the three-colour printing of textiles and yarns and is described as filling the the past gap in the series which now ranges from green to purple.
