COTTON FROM FIR WOOD.

Chemical Process by Which q Strong,
Useful Substitute Is Made.
Artificial cotton, says Paris journal,
resent les the natural product in this,
that both are formed of celluIose, near
ly pure; and, as nature has prepared
cotton by means of the elements of the
air and soil forming the cellulose in fine
fbers by means of secret forces, and of
fering it in the state Of wool to be trans
formed into what is required of it, so
the chemist in his lahore tory takes the
natural cellulose of the tree and sep
crates it from the substances with which
it is combined, Transforming it into
threads by means ofsuitable applla noes.
For this purpose fir wood is employed,
this being submitted to series of me-
chanical and chemical operations, ond
the threads are drawn out, afterward
being rolled on bobbins; the material
when manufactured resembles ordi-
nary cotton, though having a slight de-
feet, which can be easily corrected
that is, it is little less solid than
natural cotton. On the other hand,
however, the new substance is worked
and woven easily, it can be dyed as
readily as natural cotton, and when
passed through weak solution of tan
min and certain other reagents, it will
take every shade of artificial colors, and
can be dressed and printed Cd just as
are the tissues Of natural cotton.

.Pasteur.s Carefulness,

Once when Pasteur was dining with
his daughter and her family at her
home in Burgundy he took care to dip
in glass of water the cherries that
were served for dessert and then to
wipe them carefully. with his napkin
before putting them in his mouth. His
fastidiousness amused the people at
table, but the scientist iebuked them
for their levity and discoursed at length
on the dangers in microbes and ami
maculae. A few minutes later, in fit
of abstraction, he suddenly seized the
glass in which he had washed the cher
ries and drank the water, microbes and
all, at single draught. t.

-sp-cc- Here and Elsewhere,

lJr. tianscn, The hOLwCgIan diScovcrer
Of tho bacillus of lcprosy, came over to
this country while ago TO trace the his
tory Of leper immigrants who had settled
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakotn.
OF 100 original lepcr immigrants he was
able to find only -; few more NAV be
living, but nearly III are dead. OF all
their descendants, so far as grcat-grand-
children, not one has become a lcper. In
this country the disease docs not Increase
nor docs 1t appear TO DC hereditary. The
failure to spread here is thought to be
due to the improved conditions of living
which the immigrants arc able to secure
on this side of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector, in speaking Of
a leper lately found at Brentwood, Eng
.and, says that many persons believe that
leprosy has entirely disappeared from
England, yet there has probably never
been n year in which a score Of lcpcrs
could not be produced, and that, though
England used to have lepcrs enough,
leprosy has become a very rare disease
since English homes and English roods
have been kent clean. n.-Scicncc.
HiIsicauing Statistics.
Too implicit a trust should not be
placed i'll extraordinarily low death
rates, says a London StatiStician. 1t is
frequently stated thai tho death Iata
of some particular place is but eight,
ten or twelve per thousand inhabitants.
a moments consideration will show that
such figures are falaciouS, for It death
rate of ten per thousand means either
that every child born reaches tho ago Of
100, or that the average age of all who
die is 100. 1t is certain that there is no
community i'll which every child that
comes into the world will pass safely
through the many dangers that bcsct
childhood. and therefore = death rate Of
ten per thousand must mean that every
adult who dies is considerably over 100
