BISHOP POLK'S QUICK WIT.


Mhen Inside the feueral Lines.
Bishop Polk of Louisiana, who served
so zealously i'll the Confederate army,
had one adventure at the battle of Per-
ryville which is best told in his own
words. He says:
About dark, shortly after the arrival
of Liddells brigade, l observed body
of men whom / believed to be Confed-
crates standing at an angle to this bri-
gade and firing obliquely at the newly
arrived troops.
Dear me, " said |, this is very sad.
1t must be stopped" So turned round,
but could find none of my young men,
who We're about on various messages l
determined to ride up myself and settle
the matter. | cantered up to the colonel
of the regiment, asked him i'll angry
tones what he meant by shooting at his
friends and desired him to cease doing
so at once.
Il don't think there can be any mis-
take about it,, he said, with some sur
prise. Il am sure they are the enemy. +"
Enemy" said. why, have only
just left them myself. Cease firing, sirl

increasing obscurity befriending me, SC
approached quite close to him, shook
my fist in his face and said:
I'm soon show you who l am Cease
firing at oncel'
then turned my horse and cantered
slowly down the line, shouting i'll an
authoritative manner to the Federals to
cease firing.
At the same time l experienced dis
agreeable sensation like screwing up my
back and calculating how many bullets
could lie between my shoulders. was

WOOD PULP SILK.


Chardomet's Discovery Perfected and a
Mill Started In France.
An experiment is being made at Besan-
con, III France, with substitute for silk,
which will be watched with interest
The invention, that of Count de Chardo-
met, is to convert wood pulp into soft
silken thread, durable, luminous and
elastic. The "silk' threads produced
from the wood pulp were first shown at
the last Paris exhibition, when they en-.
joyed a good deal of attention among
those interestedin the silk industry. But
the process was at Mat time far from
complete, and many improvements had
to be made before the invention could be
regarded as a commercial success.
That point, in the opinion of Count de
Chardomet, has now been reached, and
a mill has been built for the manufacture
of goods from the new material There
are still some details in the process which
must be improved before capitalists are
likely to embark in the venture. One of
the great difficulties, it appears, that has
to be overcome is the swapping of the
threads while they are being spun, owing
to the unequal pressure which is eXer-
cised in forcing the wood pulp through
an exceedingly small aperture. so as to
convert it into thread. This is defect,
however, which the inventor is 20 lfident
he will soon overcome. After he wood
has been reduced to the constituency Of
pulp it is dried in an oven and then
plunged into mixture of sulphuric and
nitric acids, washed in several baths of
water and dried by alcohol. The prod
uct is afterward dissolved in ether and
pure alcohol, and the result is collodion
similar to that used in photography.
This collodiOn, which is a sticky, Wis
cous substance, is inclosed in a solid
receptacle furnished with filter at the
lower end. An air pump sends COM
pressed air into the receptacle, and by
this pressure the collodion is forced
through horizontally in the form of fine
threads AS the thread is forced out it
passes through a vessel filled with ether
and alcohol, which solidifies the COLO
dion and makes it elastic and as brilliant
as silk If the invention turns out as
successfully as its inventor anticipates,
it will be the beginning of very impor-
tant industry. Edinburgh Scotsman.
