Three tables of five England, Scientific American, are yielding a new raw material that is going to be talked about with increasing frequency during, the months to come. Research chemists have perfected a method of eliminating almost all of the organic matter which nature builds up around cellulose, and thus obtaining a basic .material, that can be worked into $ multitude of products that are..essential to the daily lives of all of us. Alpha cellulose, the technical name that has been applied to cellulose of more than 92 per cent .purity, is now commercially available under the generic name of solka. Already the lnfluence»of this new raw material is being felt in such widely separated fields as the shoe trade, the manufacture of roofing, paper making In all its branches, the weaving art, and the production of molded plastics. , The principal source of supply for the producer of highly purified cellulose Is spruce wood, although in the laboratory the same material may be obtained from any vegetable matter.
