and Early's sureties not be called on to

The shortage for Mr.. Early's first term
as shown by the report Of the experts is
$3,9477O, which sum represents the
amount lost by the taxpayers, by and
through the inexcusable dalliance of our
we'll paid experts. There is another
branch OF this subject that may be inter-
esting, and to inquire into it may prove
profitable it is this: From the bills on
file in the county clerks Office, rendered
by G. d. Murphy, for work as expert ex
aminer, since the 18th day OF January,
81, 1t appears that Mr.. Murphy has
worked as such expert 121z days and
that he has received from the county
treasury for said services never less than
five dollars, frequently as high as six
dollars, and sometimes as high as seven
dollars and fifty cents for calendar
day. From the records OF this board it
appears that Mr.. Murphy entered upon
his duties as q member OF the board OF
supervisors on the 18th day Of January,
81, and has been a member OF said board
continuously since that day till the pres
ent time. Section 1905, page 274 OF the
consolidated statutes OF Nebraska says:
s'The board of supervisors shall meet at
such times as may be provided by law,
and each member thereof shall be al
lowed, when actually employed, the
sum Of three dollars per day and mileage
at the rate of five cents per mile for
each mile necessarily travelled and no
more, as compensation for his services
and expenses in attending the meetings
of the board or any other business for

1t will be noticed from the foregoing,
that from September 2, go, to December
81, 81, each OF the experts was engaged
| at the work they contracted to do and
perform from day to day till the same
should be completed, 1851 days, and
that during that period Of time they lost
227 working days each.
1t is unnecessary to follow this branch
of the subject matter any further, as
about the first day of January, 80, the

urer J. w. Early's first term.
What the cause or motive may have
been for the delay and loss of time by
Messrs. Murphy 4 Lynch does not ap-
pear; it is quite apparent, however, that
IL they had prosecuted their work with
the same diligence during the year 1891
as they did during the last four months
of 1890, this whole work, part of which
was dragged in q slothful way all

completed in 81.
Our experts may be able to explain
why they took up the examination Of
the county clerks Office first when it is
the last Office named in their contract of
the three Offices to be examined; they
may also be able to explain why, after
having disregarded the plain terms OF
their contract as just stated, they allow
eighty days to pass away, after having
finished County Clerk Stauffer's term
before commencing work on the county
treasurer, but to one not an expert in
such matters and who looks at it only in

An Ancient British vIllsRe.

An interesting discovery was recently
made at Glastonbury, Somersetshire, of
the remains Of ON ancient lake village.
From sixty to seventy low mounds, ris-
ing from one to two feet above the sur
rounding soil, and from twenty to thirty
feet across were found on the level moor
which stretches to the British channel.
section Of the mounds revealed NOR
ticed oak beams, resembling those of
the wcll-known palisades Of the cram
nogs of Scotland, and well-defined stra-
to OF clay, charcoal and ashes. The
total thickness of these beds was three
feet six inches, and within them were
detected three separate hearths, super
imposed one above the other. Bronze
objects, four Hbul@ of the La Tene type,
and massive spiral finger rings were
discovered among the relics, with few
objects Of iron too much corroded to
determine what they were intended for.
Numerous objects of bone. an abun-
dance of pottery, much broken, and or
ganic remains, including beans, wheat,
rye, nutshells and q large number of
bones, presumably of domestic amin ais,
were also discovered. The remains l1avo
beeu assigned to the ''Latc Celtic"

THE SILK WORMS NEW RIVAL.
Wood Pulp Changed Into tho Finest SILK
by . New Invention.


by New Invention.
The Chardonnet process for convert
ing wood pulp into silk bids fair to
revolutionize things in the cloth man
ufacturing business, if it can once be
proved to be practical in all respects.
Consul Loomis, of st. Etienne, thinks
that this question has been answered
in the affirmative by M. de Chardonnet,
who has built q mill at Besancon,
where the ''sillz" is now being manu-
factured. The raw material is made
from wood pulp, which, according to
the New York Tribune, is carefully
dried in an oven and plunged into
mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids,
then washed several times in water
nnd dried by alcohol. The product
thus prepared is dissolved in ether and
pure alcohol, and the result is col
lodion, similar to that used in photog-
raphy. This collodion, which is sticky
and viscous, is inclosed in solid recep-
tacle, furnished with filter in the
lower end.
The air pump sends compressed air
into the receptacle, and by its pressure
the collodion is passed through the fl
ter, which removes all impurities and
flows into tube placed horizontally.
This tube is armed with three hundred
cocks, of which the spouts are made of
glass and pierced by a small hole of the
diameter OF the thread of a cocoon as
it is spun by the silk worm. The spin
ncr opens the cock, and the collodion
issues in thread of extreme delicacy
tit takes six to make q thread of the
necessary consistence for weaving).
This thread is not, however, fit to be
rolled on the spools by reason of it's
viscosity and softness; the matter is as
yet collodion and not silk.
To produce the necessary hardness,
the inventor resorted to very ingen-
ious but simple method. The little
glass tube already mentioned is sur
rounded by small reservoir of the
same material constantly filed with
water. When the thread issues from
the aperture in the manner described
it traverses this water, which takes up
the ether and alcohol and then the col
lodion becomes solidified; that is to
say; it is transformed into an elastic
thread as resisting and brilliant as or
binary silks. On account Of the ma
terials employed the stuff manufac-
tnrcd was found to be dangerously in
fammable-it original combustibility
being at the alarming rate of two CEN
timeters a second. Mr.. Loomis says
That M. de Chardonnet has apparently
removed this difficulty "by plunging
the spun thread into q solution of am
monia, thus rendering it as slow of
combustion as any other material"
The consul added: "This discovery
seems to have great future. 1 have
talked with great men, silk merchants,
brokers, dyers and men who manu-
factpred silk goods about the Chardon-
net method Of producing raw silk from
wood, and it is universally admitted
that the process will eventually yield
large practicable and profitable re-
suits"

Where Pearls Are Found.

Pearls are found in the shells of
many kinds of mollusks. They occur
in the common edible oyster, but are
not of value. Very large white ones
are occasionally obtained from the
giant clam, which is the biggest known
bivalve, but they are not worth much.
They are always symmetrical and OF
some beauty, having faint but pleas
ing sheen when looked at sideways.
The shells of the giant clam are occe-
sionally used for baptismal fonts in
churches. The animal is found, buried
up to the lips. hinge downward, in
by stepping between the open valves,
which closed Immediately upon the
foot, holding them until they drowned.
Tt is said that pearls of a yellowish
color are sometimes obtained from the
pearly nautilus But the natives of
the Sooloo Archipelago throw them
away, considering them unlucky. They
declare that, if man should fight
while wearing ring with such a pearl,
he would certainly be killed. Pearl
bearing mussels are found in the lakes
and streams of many parts of the
world, including the United States.
These mollusks have yielded great
numbers of valuable gems in this
country, SO that attempts have been
made to establish pearl fishing on a
commercial basis in some rivers.
The chief sources of supply of
mother r-of-pearl shells are the Torres
Straits and West Australian fisheries
and the trade centers of Singapore and
Macassar. Innumerable islands OF the
Pacific contribute more or less of this
valuable product - notably Tahiti
Three varieties are recognized COM
monly-the white, the black edged
and the golden edged. This statement
refers to the pearl oyster, which fur
nishes the finest mother-of-pearl. The
shells of single oyster have been
known to weigh as much as fourteen
pounds. The utmost economy and
skill are exercised in cutting up the
shells, each part being made to serve
some par ticular purpose. Thus, from
a single one of good size will be OBJ
tanned penholder, pistol bntt, two
or three knife handles, poker chip
and dozen and a half buttons of diff
ferent sizes. Washington Star.
