Flax and hemp become slightly brown. The red coloration, however, does not re- main long, and the proportion of jute mixture can only be roughly shown.
To distinguish linen from cotton, dip the sample or samples in a boiling solution o"f caustic potassa, and let it remain a few minutes. The the linen will assume a dark yellow, while the cotton will be a light yellow, or nearly white.
To distinguish linen from wool, dip the sample or samples in a boiling solution of caustic soda (8 deg. B). Let
...it remain for two hours at a steady- boil and all the wool will be dissolved, leaving the linen unchanged. Silk is dissolved by cold nitric acid which does not affect wool.

The fineness of linen is determined by the relative length of yarn in a given weight, and also by the number of warp-threads contained in a cer- tain space of the reed in weaving, to which the weft threads in a similar space must bear a fixed and regular proportion.
