To Make Cotton Cloth Waterproof.

To make it thoroughly waterproof is a
difficult and extended process, but a SIM
pie way for making it sufficiently water
proof for many purposes is as follows:
Dry the fabric tho: :oue hly in dry heat
and then spread it tightly over smooth
surface. With brush, paiat over it a thin
coat of )iled oil and allow this to dry
thoroughly. Follow this with a second
coat, and a third, if necessary, al owing
plenty of time between each for the
fabric 10 become perfectly dry. After
the last coat, if the surface is sticky, a
mixture of onc-quarter pound Of shelac
to a pint of water heated gently, until it
almost boils, to which little liquid am
monia is added, should then be painted
over the surface. Yellow ochrc should
then be used to make yellow water
proof, and lampblack to make the cloth
black waterproof. The colorng mat
ter can be used in mixture with the shell
lac.

Tombigbee cotton mills, of Columbus,
Missippi, held recently, the report OF

teen per cent. of the capital stock. In
