The pulse is frequent, sometimes soft and feeble, but often hard and wiry. The inoculation of animals at- tacked with the blood of animals which have recovered is believed to be the only means of cur- ing serious cases. But since the protozoijn is spread from animal to animal by tlie cattle tick {Boophilus bovis), dips which rid the animals of the ticks have been suggested as preventive measures. TEX'EL. The southernmo.st and largest of the West Frisian Islands, belonging to the Dutch Province of North Holland, and situated at the entrance to the Zuvder Zee ( Map : Nether- lands, CI). It is separated from the main- land on the south by the JIarsdiep, about 5 miles wide. Area, 67 square miles. It con- sists largely of good meadow land lined on the north and west by sand dunes, and protected from the sea on the other sides by dikes. The principal industry is sheep-raising, and wool and cheese of fine quality are exported. Popu- lation, in 1809, 5954. TEXIER, tes'yfi', Ch.rles Felix JIarie {1802-71).

TcKTuv, tek1€n, carpenter, rixvi, techiie, art, Skt. taks. to cut. form ) . That branch of textile manu- facturing which is devoted to the construction edge of combining colors and drawing a thorough knowledge of each of the various departments iir processes of textile manufacturing (qv.). The designer must be able to construct fabrics of a required weight, texture, and finish, or for a specific puri)Ose, telling the manufacturer what size of warp and filling to use, how many threads of each to the inch, and what weave will give the required results. The construction of various weaves is one of the most important features of textile design- ing, and an account of weave construction will be found in the article Weaving. A complete design for a woven fabric must contain at least the following specifications: Number of warp threads to an inch ; number of inches wide on loom; number of picks, or filling threads, to an inch : size of warp and filling yarns and ma- terials for same: the weave and the arrangement of the warp thread on the looiu-liarncss. with full particulars relative to niani](iilation of materials in the process of manufacturing; the estimated weight of the fabric as woven; the finishing processes it is to be submitted to, to- gether with its finished width, weight, and tex- ture, that is, the count in warp and filling threads to the inch. When the pattern is to be worked out in colored threads the arrangement of these must be given ; and when the pattern is drawn and possibly colored, then the weave is constructed in such a way as to produce with the woven threads the effect of the drawing as nearly as possible.
