RiITIE.

If recent reports from England are
true the new South may soon have an
important addition to it's prosperity.
Rhea grass, whose fibre is called
| ''ramie," is well adapted to cultivation
in the South. English spinners have.
it is said, succeeded in experiments
with ranie that may have an important
bearing on the spinning industry of the
world. One company, the Midland
Spinning company Of Long Eaton, as
serts that during the fiscal year ending
October it has been engaged in treat
ing ramie and spinning the product into
yarn, which it further asserts has been
sold in the open market at a satisfac-
tory profit.
Ramie can be used in many ways.
It is admirably adapted for the manu-
facture of cordage, bagging, sail can
vas, and other fabrics requiring expos
ure to the elements. Its strength of re-
sistance is twice that of hemp. Be
sides the use of ramie for rough pur-
poses, a process is employed by which
ramie is given the aspect and texture
of wool, but as a fabric it gives cool
ness instead Of warmth. Manufacture
ers therefore assert that it cannot super
sede wool, but will in time take the
place of cotton in the warp of mixed
fabrics. In the manufacture of silk it
can be used to great advantage. In
fact, in texture, lustre, and in ffneness
of fibre it is quite similar. Another
authority asserts that ramie, to some
extent has replaced the costly fine cot
ton thread used in the various products
Of Lyons, France, which have to I'M
dergo an expensive treatment in order
to acquire d high lustre. Eventually. 81
the same authority states, sit will re-
place cotton thread"
Rhea-grass has been grown in the
South for the last ten years, and ii

as it is expected to Rhea-grass growing

SOME RENPONSIRTLI1,Y.

The Louisville (Kentucky) Gas COM
pany is in an unpleasant predicament
but 1t is where it can and doubtless
will learn something. 1t did not take
proper care of the feed pipes running
into its boilers. A boiler exploded. The
explosion killed one of the employees of
the company and started fire which
did about $2S3 900 damage. The insur-
ance companies paid $4,000 of this loss
and then they availed themselves of the
"subrogation'' proviso in the policy con-
tracts and brought action against the
gas company to recover the s195, 600. At
the same time the burned-out firm sued
that corporation for the amount of their
uninsured damage. On the trial, eX-
perts testified that the explosion was
due to low water in the boiler, and that
the low water was due Gin all probabili-
ty) to the uncared-for and partially
filled-up pipes The insurance compa-
MES and the firm won their case, and
the judge said in giving his charge:
The plaintiffs in the case, as well as
every other citizen and property holder
in that immediate neighborhood. were
entitled to have from the owners, pro-
prietors and operations of that engine
and those boilers that degree Of skill
and attention which the safety of the
public demand; and if upon their own
premises, III the management of their
own machinery, they were guilty of
such negligence as to explode their own
boiler, and thereby injure and damage
the adjacent property holders, cause
OF action accrues to such property own
ers for all such damage sustained.
8 In the case at bar the plaintiffs
have produced evidence which conclu-
sively shows that those in charge of
! the boiler were guilty of gross negli-
gence in allowing low water in the boil
ers under the circumstances shown.
| The gas company has appealed from
/ the decision, and will not pay until it
has to. People whose lives and proper
/ ty are dependent upon the care taken
of the boilers Of gas and other com
dict will be allowed to stand.

utility of angleworms for agricultural
purposes. He raised peas, beans, pota-

worms, and in each case the presence Of
worms led to an increase in the crop,
varying from twenty-five per- cent. in
the peas to ninety-four per cent. in the
