The idea that the oak and certain
other trees are particularly subject to
destruction by lightning, while the
laurel and others are free from danger,
has been investigated by p. Jenesco.
The conclusion is reached that no trees
are exempt from risk. Trees contain
ing oils are less liable to be struck,
those with most oil being best pro.
tected; while lightning seems to prefer
trees containing much starch and those
which have little oil in summer Dead
limbs of either starch or oil-containing
trees are especially liable to be struck.

capital.o Of the election of a president at

able. If the editor of that sheet was posted

is that the chairman of the committee on en-
ployes, Henry Chamberlain, is staunch
democrat, candidate at one time for gov
ernor, and he recommended the election of
Prof. Gorton forspresident. 1t was also at
his suggestion that Supt. Simmons went to

imported. although this country is capable
of raising its mulberry trees and producing
its own raw silk.
The value of the raw silk imported into
this country in 1860 was only s1.S40, 676,
while in 1890 it was $50, 2s5, 900. If we
manufactured our own raw silk in this
country, 1t would soon be worth nearly $40,
900, 900 year to the producers. This profit
would 60 largely into the hands of the
farmers and hortlculturists. California,
Colorado, Utah, Kansas and many other
States in this country are admirably adapted
to the raising of mulberry trees and the
production of raw silk. In Southwestern
Kansas and Indian Territory the mulberry
tree grows wild in the forests, and its cult
walton In those regions could undoubtedly
be made success, and where the mulberry
trees will grow silkworms will flourish, as
its leaves are their natural food.
While the production of silk goods in this
country has increased during the last ten
years over 100 per cent, the importation Of
silk goods has not increased to anything like
that extent. The importation of silk goods
in the fiscal year of 1880 to 1881 was $780,
SOL, 1851, while that of 1889 and 1890 was
only 6,766,O9O, an increase OF only
$6,0s7, 700, against an increase of $S4, 1884,
$40 In the home manufacture of these goods.
This shows clearly what protection can do
for the silk industry. Now, let the Gov
eminent also encourage the production Of
raw silk until we can produce all the raw
silk that is consumed in our factories, and
we have an industry that will be worth net
from 10000, 900 to $4,000, 900 year to
the people of the United S tates.-Dr. E. p.
Miller in the Eagle, Wichita, Kansas.

Growth of the Silk Industry

The success that has been achieved in the
manufacture of silk in the United States
has fully demonstrated the fact that this
country is capable of making its own silk.
During the last census decade the products
of the silk industry have more than doubled
in this country. The census of 1890 shows
that the value of the net finished products
of the silk made in this country was $780,
154,599, while in 1880 it was only 1874, 49,
1913, thus showing an increase of S34, 1854
876, or 100.33 per cent. The prices of silk
goods of all kinds are now as low as they
were ever known in this country. The in
dustry is amply protected by the present
tariff laws, and If the duties on foreign silks
are retained as they now are, in very few
years this country will be making all the
silk that is used here.
The number of factories has increased
from $50 in 1880 to 472 in 1890, or 20. SO
per cent; the capital invested has increased
from $40, 125, 300 i'm 1850 to S51, ,537 In
1890, or 166.70 per cent. The number of
hands employed has increased 62.47 per
cent; the wages paid has increased 1851
per cent; the cost of material used has in
creased 1868 per cent; the gross value of
the products has increased about 112.75 per
cent; the number of spindles has increased
from 50s,137 to 1,254,7 or "a per
cent; the number of looms has increased
from s.474 to 22.5e9, or 166. S3 per cent.
An industry which shows such growth as
this should be encouraged by every means
within the control of the Government. An
addition of s34,6S4, $40 to the products in
one single industry within period of ten
years shows that 1t is of immense value to
the people of the United States.
In the year 1860 this country only pro-
duced Is per cent. of the silk used in 1876
it had increased to 23 per cent, in 1880 to
3s per cent, in 1890 it was IS per cent.
This has been done under protective tariff.
There is branch of the silk industry
that has not yet received much attention in
this country, and that is the manufacture
of the raw silk. Nearly all that is used is
