The Most Common way OF Giving OHenso

Some people are perpetually giving

An Artificial SiIk-Worm.

at is by no means impossible" said
Paterson silk manufacturer, ''that
artificial silk may sometime replace
the product of the silk-worms labor.
That, of course, is only a possibility,
and not a probability, but it is very
probable that artificial methods will
replace the tedious and expensive
means now employed to utilize the
worms. 1t has for some time been
known that worn-out silken fabrics can
be utilized by putting them in chem
ical bath which separates foreign SUBJ
stances from the silk itself, and saves
the latter in solution. This solution
can be respun or used to plate other
thread. Now, as | learn from France,
DIR. Chardonne, of that country, has
succeeded in making purely artificial
silk. He makes a solution of nitro
cellulose, alcohol, ether, ferrous chic
ride and fannie acid, in nicely ~calculat-
ed proportions, and runs it from res
ervoir through an exceedingly minute
hole into bath of water, acidulatec
with one-half of one per cent. Of
mono-hydrated nitric acid. The luit
hardens in the water, and is dried il
hot air. is said that the thread ca,
be readily dried, but do not know
what other valuable qualities it has.

Sights Along the Railroads. and In Dirty

The European railways are now open
TO Vienna and this city Is blessed with
a daily mail. The ronte from Vienna
to Constantinople by rail is an interest
ing one, since 1t gives the traveller a
view OF the village life OF the Turks,
which has hitherto been beyond the
reach OF those who have not the time or
the endurance for caravan travel. But
the lamentations OF the travellers who
come by the new railway over the pri-
vations OF the route are painful. A man
pallies forth gleefullv from Vienna In
the midst of luxury to take run to
Constantinople. He is told that he
can reach his destination in forty
seven hours, and makes up his mind
that he can endure any thing in tho
way of privation for that time. In
twenty-four hours he is convinced that
he will die of starvation before he has
arrived at the end Of his journey. A
dirty and IT gei populace offer him
water at every station for good price.
