Important D,sccvery. Mr. llercsrs who CON.
menced his experimsnis IN IS44, has Asosrtatned
that q cold solution 81 caustic soda simple Thing
as it is-has peculiar edsct on cotton fibre,
causing it to contract and remain 20, permanently,
after the soda has been washed ont Caus,ic
soda, az Dr.. Payfsis observed, has long been used
in the process for bleaching cottons but this
power Of altsring the structure Of the fibre, be
says, only belongs to the cold solution. The de.
gree Of condensation 10 equal 70 from one nth 20
one third Of the total volume Of cotton employed
The practical applications Of the discovsry may bs
inferred. The first obvious ona would BE- that Of
converting coarser into finer fabrics. which u
effected by taking coarssr fabric and stseping il
in the proper solution of caustic soa ia which the
contraction of fibre imperts TO It fineness Of ap-
pearance not before possessed. Another appiics.
ton would be the Improvement Of colors, 10 which
the condensation impars depth and brilliancy.
"The effect Of this alteration of texture, ], says
notice ofthe paper which we find in the Athenanm
was most srlkingIy shown by colors.. The pinh
cotton velvet had It's tint deepened TO an intense
degree by the condensation process. Printed calico
especially with colo,s hitherto applied with li,tls
satisfaction, as lilac, had strength and bflisncy
besides thus producing fabrics cheapiy finer thar
can possibly be woven by hand. The effect wa
shown of patterns being fo,med by portions of I
surface being protected by gum from condemnation
Thus patterns of apparently fine work can easily
be produced. IL was stated that the fabrics by thi
process have much strength given them-for

toward the Tbeiss, in the summer Of 1919, he took
which had been seques'cred by the commission Of
national defence TO prevent their falling into the
hands Of the Austrians. Upon arriving at the
marhy banks of the Thesis il was found difficult
TO convey the wagons across, without delaying thu
movement Of the army, and they were thrown into
the river. The director of mines 10 Upper Hun
gary has now organized force Of miners and en-
eineers, with the hope Of recovering the greater
portion of the treasure, seeing that the specific
CAVITY OF the ore will most probably have pre-
vented its being carried away by the current The
value of the golden mineral thrown into the Thesis
is estimated without exaggsration, at from three to
four hundred thousand f1rins

A Melancholy Sight. = DR.. Reid, traveller
through the highlands of Peru, found lately IN the
desert of Atacama, the dried remains of an assem-
blage of human beings, five or six hundred in
number, men, women and children, seated IN
semi circle as when alive, and staring into the
burning waste before them. They had not been
buried life had not departed before they thus sat
around; but hope was gone; the Spanish invader
was at hand, and. no escape being left. they had
come hitber to die. They atill sit immoveable in
that dreary desert; dried like mummies BY the
effect of the hot air, they still keep their position
sitting up as in solemn council, while over thai
dread Areopagus silence broods everla stingly.

A Nurse Of Great Msn.-In Paris. an old lady,
named Mother Gerlrude," known in all the dis
tinguished families Of that capital, lately died.
Could she have written her life it would be a re-
markable one, for she was nurse for the sick, and
had witnessed in the long course Of her life many
remarkable scenes. She had closed the eyes Of
Chopin; waited on Mrabsau, 8 eyes, the Brothers
Lsmeth, Barnave, and the hate Duke de Lauzun /;
applied leeches to the bloody Marat. put mustard
plaster on Ro,espiere, and even held the head of
Napoleon. when he had an attack Of fever. Not
long ago she closed the eyes Of man who, for
twenty years previous to the Revolution Of Febru-
ary held the keys Of the Secret Fund, !" and who,
before he died, ordered glass Of water, dipped his
fingers therein, and breathed his last with these
words: wash my hands in innocence" Mothe
Gertrude also witnessed the resurrection Of . child
who is now one Of the most distinguished womeI
of Paris. The child had died, as it was supposed
and had been placed in its coffin That night, tn
mother, who had cast herself on the floor in an I'D
joining room, in the bitterness Of her grief, sudden
arose, and was led by an irresislible feeling to loo
again on her chiId's face. On opening the dool
she found i sitting up in the coffin, playing wit
the funeral garlands. This remarkable seen
became the subject of one of Lamartine's roems.
