Eleciricnl Training.

There has been much discussion
of the question of the training of cleo
trical engineers and the chances Of
success offered by electrical engineer
ing as a profession. The fact has
been established that in these days
there is no such thing as ready
made electrical engineer A man has
to go through a very laborious and
highly scientific training before he can
be so equipped as to do justice to the
profession and to himself. Some
practical men, however, think differ
emily and say so. A writer in an
American electrical journal says:
''The truth is that a first-class con-
structive engineer can be turned out
in year or two" In commenting on
this statement, the leading English
electrical organ says: I'm our opinion
this is very far indeed from the truth;
and the sooner young men realize the
fact the better will it be for the fu-
ture of the profession"

fetal cotton from wood cellufoSr.
The cellulOse is heated under pressure
in Il closed vessel with zinc chloride,
hydrochloric and acetic acids, Il little
rice oil, caseine and gelatine. A
pasty mass is thus obtained which is
placed in cylinder and expelled
through the base of the latter by
means of a heavily loaded piston.
The threads, as they issue, are led
first between two hot rolls, then into
a weak solution of washing soda, and
finally between another pair of drying
rolls. The material weaves and takes
dyes well. The strength of the
cotton" is said to be much increased
by parchmentiSing. AS this cloth is
waterproof and extremely light, it has
been suggested that it would form an
excellent material for the clothing
of the masses in India. In connec-
ton with the subject of wood pulp.
a contemporary points out that the
imports of that substance into Man
chester, England, during the month of
March were the largest on record,
and show an increase compared with
the previous month, of more than 90

MADE THE DEAL.
The States Money Invested In bonds
Down East.

st. Paul, Mimi, July IA. State
Treasurer A. T. KOerner and
S. G. lverson, deputy state auditor,
went to New York last week for the
purpose of investing about S24O,OO0 Of
the permanent school fund of the
state in bonds of Tennessee and 9th
er states. To-day a telegram was re-
ceived stating that the deal had been
made satisfactorily. A year ago the
state wanted to invest some of its
school money in these outside bonds,
and advertised in advance that it's
treasurer was going East with the
money. The Wall street holders Of
the coveted securities got wind Of the
affair and slipped the prices up sew
eral points, so that the state paid
about $4,000 more for them than
would have been paid had the deal
been conducted with more secrecy.
This year the state board Of invest
ment met behind closed doors. ordered
the Investment. and Treasurer koern-
er packed off to New York without
saying a word to anybody about 1t.
He and Mr.. Iverson will bring the
bonds home with them and save
heavy express charges.

IT'S RATHER COOL.
why Chicago IcemeD Bribed the
Aldermen.

Chicago. July 1.-THE special grand
jury which is investigating the
charges of bribery brought against
Aldermen Finkler and Martin, heard
a mass of testimony to-day In regard
to the alleged bribery Of the city Of
ficials by officers Of various ice com
panies. The investigation was called
for the purpose of airing the alder
mems connection with the matter. but
the testimony took an unexpected
turn, duplicating, it is said. some Of
the prominent ice dealers Of the city.
Max Worthsman, an ice salesman,
went before the jury and gave the
names of several firms which he al
legged had given brides to prevent the
passage of an ordinance regulating
the sale of ice. 1t was said by at
taches Of the states attorneys office
that several wealthy icemen were
likely to be indicted with the alder
men. The grand jury also took up
the charges of bribery freely made in
connection with the passing of the
Calumet and Blue Island railroad or
dinance.

What Blackens the Globes Of Incan-
descent Lamps.

An Italian scientist has been trying
to add to the comparatively small
available store Of information as to
how the blackening of incandescent
bulbs is caused. He found that under
the microscope the surface of a used
filament has little humps, resembling
in miniature those on the carbon of an
arc lamp. They seem to have been
produced by some melted material In
places the filament is furrowed by
transverse cavities, out of which rise
ramitications of lamp black. The film
collected on the inside of the lamp
shows under the microscope as very
thin coating of lamp black, in which
are distinguished larger grains irreg-
ularly distributed, and also yellowish
crystals. His explanation of the black
ening is that certain mineral sub
stances contained in the carbon fila
ment become fused by the high tenn
perature and evap0rate. This causes
a gradual disintegration of the car
bon. some very minute particles of
which are projected on to the glass.
When the explosion of the little humps
on the filament are at all violent en-
tire fragments are detached, and at
those places where attachments occur
most frequently the tilament breaks.
