CLOTH MADE FROM WOOD.

Method of Reducing the Boards to state
 of Isolated Fibers.
 Mitscherlich has applied the bisulphite process for reducing wood to the pro- duction of a fiber from wood which can be spun.
 Thin boards or laths free from knots, but of any desired width, are cut into strips in the direction parallel with the grain, and are then boiled ill boiler con- taining solution of sulphurous acid or bisulphite. This boiling effects disinte- grafton without requiring that the strips of boards shall be reduced to very small pieces. After boiling the wood, it is dried in the open air or in specially con- structed drying rooms. By thus drying the product, the fiber, which is origisally very weak and tends to break at the slightest strain, becomes comparatively strong and does not resume it's very breakable condition on the addition of water. The operations are carried out as | follows:
 The damp masses on the frame are transferred to a travelling endless cloth, which leads them to pair of rollers, which may be plain or provided with corrugations in the direction of their | length, the ribs of the one roller be- ing made to gear into the re- cesses of the other one, where y they effect 8 simultaneous strong bending and squeezing of the masses. The cutting of the material in passing through the corrugated rollers is avoided by causing the endless cloth | to pass over the lower roller and by placing canvas covering around the upper roller. The pressed masses fall from these rollers on to second endless cloth, which conveys them to second pair of rollers, from which they are conveyed to a third pair, and so on, they being preferably pressed in this way six times. By continued treat ment of the wood the fibers become at length so pliable and isolated from each other that they can be employed directly for coarse flaments.
 For obtaining perfect isolation of the fibers, however, without material de terioration, these operations alone are not suitable. and their special purpose is to loosen the fibers in the transverse di- rection so that in the following opera tion thin, long fiber may be obtained. For this purpose the boiled and pressed masses are completely dried. After dry ing they are combed in the direction parallel with the fibers by means of de- vices provided with pins or teeth, in a manner similar to the operations for combing flax, cotton, etc., but with the difference that the pins or teeth of the apparatus must be made very strong The separation of the extractable matter from the fiber produced by boiling the gums and soluble organic matter can be effected at any time. It is, however preferably effected after the fiber has been spun into threads, etc.-Scientifo American.

His Name Will Live.

Capt. Boycott will be remembered, i'll namc at least, long after his bones have turned to dust. According to his years he should still be ill tho prime of life, but for q decade the captain has not lain upon bed of roses, and he has aged prematurely, his hair and bcard-the latter long and luxuriant-being almost snow white. Capt. Boycott is tho agent of Sir Hugh Adair, and has his head quarters in the sleepy little village of Flixton, in the heart of Suffolk, miles away from a railway station, or post office, or telegraph office. To the viii lagers he is known as ''the captain.'- Pittsburg Bulletin.

 "Oh, look, that is Jeannotl How he will wonder to see me here!"
 Tlanen drew her little downward, so that the forester p:tssed onward without per- ceiving them.
 "Why do you dc thata" said Bebee. Shall l not speak to him2'
 .'Whys To have all your neighbors chat ter of your feast in the forest? It is not worth while.''
 "Ah, but always tell them everything" said Bebee, whose imagination had been al ready busy with the wonders that she would unfold to Mere Krebs and the Varnhart chil- dren

 She did not speak for some time. She could not imagine state of things in which she would not narrate the little daily mira cles of her life to the good old garrulous women and the little open mouthed romps. And yet,-she lifted her eyes to his.
 II am glad you have told me that" she said. Though indeed, 1 do not why one should not say what one does, yet-sonlehow-I do not like to talk about you. It is like the pie lures in the galleries, and the music in the cathedral, and the great still evenings, when the fields are all silent, and it is if Christ walked abroad ill them; l do not know how to talk of those things to the others-only to you-and do not like to talk about you to them-do you not knowF' "Yes, l know But what affinity have l.

 II cannot tell you very well.

Ono on the Doctor.

When Dr. Keats was head master at Eaton. the boys of a certain class were told to write theme on the Latin maxim, Te- merc nil facias. When the time came for handing in the papers one boy named Rashleigh appeared without his. Where is your theme, sir?" asked the doctor. II haven't done it, sir.'' Mot done your theme, sir?'' No, sir," persisted the youth, apparently quite undismayed at the prospect of apple twigs; "why, sir, you told me not to do it!' "I told you?' "Yes, sir; you said 'Temere nil facias'-do nothing, Rashleigh Gashly).' '' The head master was so delighted with the pun that he smiled on the joker and said no more.-Chicago Journal.

Don't Try 1t.

. "Would we advise you to marry a man whom you really and truly love very dearly to reform him?" Ethel asks. Well, yes, if you love him so dearly, Ethel, we would. But we would advise you to kill him first. You won't have half the trouble reforming him after ward, and he'll make much better hus- band. A fellow who won't reform for his sweetheart, Ethel, isn't likely to do so for his wife; you can bet your en- gagement ring against your dover on that.-Brooklyn Eagle.
