The Chardonnet process for convertin,
wood pulp into silk bids fair to reyoln.

BUSINESS II IL can once be proved TO be
practical IN all respects
Consul L. b. LOOMS of st. Etinnua
France, thinks that this question has been
answered IN the affirmative bv NJ. de
Chardonnet, who has built mill at Re-
sancon, where the ''silk'' is now heinz
manufactured. The raw material is made
from wood pulp, which, according to the
New ork IT{6Hge, is carefully dried in
an oven and plunged into a mixtnre nt
sulphurc and nitric acids, then washed
several Tunes in water and dried by alco-
mol. The product thus prepared is dis
solved IN ether and pure alcohol. and the
result is collodion, similar to that used in
Photography. This collodion. which il
stlohy anu Vlscous, IS lnclosed in a solid
receptacle, furnished with litter in the
lower end. AZ 'N0
An alrpump sends compressed air into
the receptacle, and by its pressure the
collection is passed through the filtor
winch removes all impurities and flows
INTO tube placed horizontally. This
tube Is armed with three hundred cocks

the ether and alcohol and then the col
lodIon becomes soliditied; that is to say,
1t is transformed into an elastic thread as
resisting and brilliant as ordinary silks.
On account of the materials employed the
stuff manufactured was found to be
dangerously lniammable - its original
combustlbIlty being at the alarming rate
OF Two centlmeters second. Mr., LOomis
says that Nj. de Chardonnet has anna
rently removed this difficulty ''by plIIng-
ing the spun threa4 into a solution Of
ammonia, thus rendering it as slow of
combustion as any other material.u
The Consul adds: ''This discovery

HE WAS A poor ORAOKsMAN.
A Burglar Hacks Collins 81 Co.'S SAT

A Burglar Hacks Collins 81 Co.'s Safe
Without Getting Into It.
Some time Saturday night an amateur
safe cracker" succeeded in running the
handsome iron safe Of J. 8. Collins & Co.
without obtaining any booty for his pains.
About AS O'clock Mr.. GrAysOn, one of
the members Of the firm. left the office and
went around TO the market for the purpose
OF making, some collections among
the huoksters, intending to return after
ward with the money and lock il in the
safe. Before going QUO, however, in spirit
Of absent mindedness he locked the safe and
turned on the combination. After visiting
his customers and collecting a considerable
sum Mr.. Grayson concluded not TO go back
to the store but went home with the money
In his pocket.
A few minutes after Mr.. Grayson left tho
store Mr.. Gross, another member of the
firm, returned to see that the safe was
locked up for the night Mr.. Gross noticed
safe, which at first appeared kind Of strange,
but after thinking over it he supposed the
Ratchet had been carelessly left there by
some Of the employees. Mr.. Gross locked
up the store about 10 O'clock.
When he visited the Office yesterday
morning sight met his gaze that aston-
ished him. A low chair was IN front of the
Sd4S, LuS Two NICKEL kuOD5 we're 0aCR6Q OH
the door and lay on the floor the nuts of
the hinges were scattered about, and a
Ratchet, riveting hammer, iron spanner,
chisel and saw all lying on the floor. An
entrance, however, had not been effected.
From the appearance of things the
burglar must have worked for several hours
on the safe, hacking it up while sitting in
the chair, but his efforts were of no avail.
while his methods were as crude as they
were clumsy, and shows that he was
not at all acquainted with this
sort of a Job. He certainly was not pros
feSsionAl safe cracker by any means, no
matter what other branch of the profession
he follows He was forced 10 quit his work
before daylight rather than jeopardize his
safety by tarrying too long, and he took
with him MIR Gross office coat. Nothing
else was missed.
The job was evidently done by a negro
and one who is familiar with the place OF
premises. IL has been Mr.. Grayson's habit
not to lock up the safe Saturday nights uns
til his return from his collecting tour There
is hardly doubt but what the burglar was
secreted in the office somewhere when Mr..
Gross came into it. Had Mr. 9rayson re-
turned with his collections and unlocked the
safe there is no telling what might have
happened.
Mr.. Grayson thinks the burglar got
into the building in the early part of the
night, as the clerks were all down below on
the fourth floor on the River street side
selling bananas a cargo having been re-
ceived a few days ago. 1t is believed that
he came In by this way, as it was by this
means that he made his exit by showing the
bolts back and unlocking the door. Mr..
GrayBon says that the Ratchet was not on
the desk when he left the store. Detectives
ara at work on the case

Mrs Hagood No. 8 is confident that she
is on the track Of the right man, and says
she will eventually get hold Of him despite
his reputed smooth and slippery way Of
eluding those who are after him
She intends beginning her search by calling
upon the first Savannah Mrs. Hegood and
settling matters, so far as she is concerned.
She will then 20 to Atlanta to see the Chi
cago Mrs. Hagood, who is now residing
there on Forrest avenue, and then she will
go, she says, somewhere or anywhere 60
find the major. for whom she swore out
a warrant yesterday afternoon before Judge
Elsinger. What will be the result OF her
search remains to be seen. In fact, the
situation is growing interesting, and with a
few more wives on the scene the situation
would doubtless grow interesting in the ex-
IRENE. The major carefully eluded one of
his Savannah wives in Atlanta, some days
ago, and the outcome of the second ones
search will be awaited with interest.

The Southwestern Almost Sure TO En-.
ter the Reorganization Plan.
Central reorganization matters have not
occupied so much attention of late from the
fact that they were in statu quo, so to
speak, on account OF the steps which had to
be taken to definitely decide whether the
Southwestern would or would not enter
into the plan.
The report of the committee was some
what delayed by various oauses but it has
completed its investigation Of the plan, for
which purpose 1t went on to New York
and will submit its report to the stockhold-
ers, who will hold a meeting in Macon
within the next few days. The day for the
meeting has not as yet been set but of
course it cannot be delayed long, as the
securities which are TO enter the reorQAuiza-
ton plan must be in by April l, and there
is little probability that the reorganization
committee will extend the time at which
they are required to be IN.
Those who know anything about the
work Of the Southwestern committee say
that its report viii be favorable TO the re-
organization plan, and, as was stated in the
MORNING NEWS, a gentleman who attended
one OF the committee meetings in New
York said the members expressed them
selves thoroughly agreeable TO the plan and
that they thought the stockholders would
so act.
Some weeks ago there was some delay In
transferring the stock on account of the
fact that there was some doubt about the
action of the Southwestern, but during the
last week or two the receipts at the South
ern Bank have increased daily as the doubt
about this matter became gradually less.
Enough OF the securities have been received
to warranethe conclusion that the reorgan-
ization plan will meet with scarcely a single
diificnlfY
