COTTON MADE LIKE SILK
A Bright Sheen Impaired TO Any f
brOuS Material.

A Bright Sheen Impaired TO Any FL
brOuS Material.
a process for imparting a silky an
pearance to any kind of fiber is described
by II. Jacob OF Argenteuil as follows:
The cotton or other yarn is first pre-
pared by passing through a LIQUID OBJ
Lalned by distiIling together methyI alco-
hOl and naphthol disulphorate OF sodiu m.
The threads are then separated from each
other by passing through thread guides
and thread plates, and then through a
first series OF dressing boxes containing
very nulQ cOlIodlOn, and dried by pass-
age through a series of drying chests.
The alcohol and ether given off from the
coIlodlOn are suitably condensed and
used for preparing further quantities of
collodion. TIE dressing and driving is
repeated second time, using colIodion
OF greater viscosity, and again a third
time, the collOdion being still thicker.
The drying chests are connected by
dressing boxes, which are formed of a
central tube communicating with one OF
the colIOdion stributorS. To the ends
OF this tube are connected by union
joints other tubes of the same diameter
and opening into the interior of the dry
ing chests. These tubes only communi-
cate with each other by small orificss
which are of the same diameter as the
threads to be dressed. The coilodion is
forced through the tube by a piston plate
| resting on the collodion in the receiver
and is weighted.
The capillary tube has inlet and out
let oritices provided for the passage OF
the thread at the same time the collodiou
Is forced Oh to 1t, the excess of collOdion
being squeezed off previous to driving.
The threads finally pass through glaz-
ing rollers which have rotary, also an
alternating rectilinear movement so that
the whole of the thread surface is SUB
mitted to the glazing action. The colo
dion may or may not pe colored by ami
inc dyesn

Gifts to Fool the Public.

The condemning of alum as an un-
wholesome ingredient in baking pow
ders by the Government authorities, as
we'll as by physicians generally, has not
deferred manufacturers of such powders
from foistlng them on an unsuspectlng
public. Following is a partial list of the
alum powders found in the stores:
Calumet" Chicago Yeast" ken
ton," Grants Bon Bon," Hotel"
"Taylor's One SPOON" climax" SNOW
Puff" Snow Ball." Giant" "Milk," J"
Crown" "Unrivaled," Silver Star"
Davis 0. K.," Forest City," Mon
arch" ''K. c." Loyal" "Manhattan," ;"
Crystal" "Hatchet," Home" Echo"
Perfection" Rocket" Town Talk"
"Vienna," white Rose" etc.
1t is safe to reject all brands sold with
prize. All powders sold at twenty-fiv
cents or less pound are sure to be made
of alum. DIR. Wiley, the Government
Chemist, in his Official examination of
baking powders at the Worlds Fair,
threw out ali "alum powdets," CHASING
them as unwholesome.

BRITISH IN INDIA.
Meet a Strong Force and Compelled
Retreat,

| Meet Strong Force and Compelled to
Retreat.
SIMLA, April 1.-THE guides and in
fantry belonging to the British force of
General Watertield. now operating
against Umra Khan of Jendol, were de-
tached from the brigade and sent across
the Pung Jkora River TO reconnoiter and
to chastise some villagers who had been
firing on the British lcamp. The British
met strong force of the enemy, and
were compelled to retreat, covered by an
| artillery ire. Colonel Baty was killed
and several others were wounded. The
natives showed great determination, and
are still in force on the Pung Jkora River.
The Third Brigade has joined the First
and Second Brigades at Jado.
The natives kept up fire on the Brit
lsh while the latter were engaged in con-
structing raft bridge over the river. The
bridge was finally finished, and Colonel
BatY, who was in command of the guides,
crossed over safely, with orders to form
camp IN the morning and destroy the
native villages. The enemy, finding that
| their fire had not prevented the compile
tlon OF the bridge, decided to destroy it.
During the night they threw immense
logs into the river above the bridge. These
were caught In the rapid current and car
rIed down with great force against the
trall bridge, smashing it to pieces.
With the destruction of the bridge Col
onel Baty and his party were cut of from
the main body OF the forces. Colonel
Baty, however, proceeded into the hills
to punish the natives. So he signaled
across the river, and orders were sig
nailed back for Colonel Baty to retreat.
General Wartetield said his forces would
cover their retreat with the mountain
battery, and their Maxim guns were
moved to the bank of the river for this
purpose. Colonel Baty executed the re-
treat i'll masterful manner. When hotly
pressed by the enemy halt would be
made, and whitening ire poured into the
pursuers, whose confusion would enable
the British force to retire. This practice
succeeded until the British reached
wide place, when, through fear OF hitting
their men, General WartetieId's forces
were told to cease firing, leaving Colonel
Baty to depend upon his own resources.
The natives tried 10 cut Off the retreat to
the river, and the aspect of affairs looked
very serious. The retreat continued,
however, in al orderly manner. One
section would halt and then fire, to cover
the retreat OF the others. and then return
TO their comrades before the natives
would again start in pursuit Of them.
These tactics were followed until the
enemy was within thirty yards of the
river.
Colonel Baty was killed just as the
British got within hailing distance of
General Watertield's camp.
The enemy lost heavily. 1t is now re-
ported that they have dispersed. Ma
terials are being hurried forward for the
construction OF a suspension bridge
across the river.

Anglo-VenezueIan Troubles.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Post, edito1i-
ally commenting on the Anglo Vene-
zuelan boundary troubles, says: 1t is
difficult to see how America can inter
vene in the dispute, asSGreat Britain has
not invited her to arbitrate Moreover.
arbitration IS impossible until it is ar
ranged which question shall be left to
arbitration. Great Britain is willing to
take up the matter where it was LETT in
1871, when the survey was made, and
after agreeing to boundary which cam
not be disputed by either side, to submit
the remaining territory TO arbitration. 1t
may interest Senator Morgan to know
that the gold field district is not included
in the territory covered by the former
, survey.
