ONE OF THE FAMOUS SILK UOFTS OF BRUSA 



After the silkworms are killed by live steam, the cocoons are carefully dried in lofts for 

 several months before the silk is reeled and prepared for export. The raw silk of this city, 

 noted for its excellent quality, is shipped to Italy and France. From Brnsa, at the foot of the 

 Mysian Olympus, a short railway runs to its port, Mudania, on the Sea of Marmora, scene of 

 the armistice conference.
