SHIP SAVED BY AN UMBRELLA.
An Interesting Relic Used by q sharp
Yankee Captain.

An interesting relic in the Charlestown
Navy Yard museum is an umbrella,
which was used by the Constitution i'll
making her escape from the English ilees
in July 1912. This is all that is told by
the card attached to 1t, and the uinbrel-
Ia is complete puzzle to nearly every
one who visits the museum. III the first
place, it is utterly unlike any umbrella
that anyone ever saw before, and, in the
second, not one person in hundred is
able 20 figure out how the Constitution
made use of 1t in making her escape from
the British vessels. 1t Is exactly like an
UNI brella frame in general shape, but
the stick is about ten feet long, with
heavy iron ring at each end, aud is about
three inches in diameter The frame
slides up and down on it. just like the
frame OF an ordinary umbrella and is
made of stout iron bars. Some people
think that 1t may have been set up on
deck to give the officers little shade on
hot day. but they cannot see how this
helped in the escape. The purpose for
which 1t was intended and used was az a
sea anchor, and its story is as follows:
On the tho lSsh of July, 1912, the Con-
! stitution, then cruising under the COM
mand of that famous old fighter, Isaac
Hull, was surrounded by Brooke's
squadron of five vassels. Before they
could close in on him, however, it fel

their homes. Each days Matching is

SOME ARE LAZY.
The worm is conservative, and never
attempts to move from his place until it
is time to begin spinning; he then be-
comes distended with the silk juice and
semi-transparent, like ripe yellow plum,
and can presently be observed lifting his
head and looking about for guod site

and many sections of the country are
adapted to the culture as for as climate
is concerned. During the last fiscal year
the government report shows that over
1873. 600, 900 worth of silk in the raw state
was imported by this country to be
worked up by the manufacturers. There
is no more reason for his importation
than there is for the bringing over of po-
tatoes, wheat or corn.

sands of silk worm eggs sent to Mexico
to give the people Of New Spain paying
industry, and while he lived it flourished.
King James of England endeavored to
develop silk culture among his colonists
in Virgin la, and sent one John Bonoell
as special commissioner to instruct the
Virginians in the work. Farm ers were
fined twenty pounds Of tobacco If they
failed to plant certain number Of null

Booke is prescribed. 1t is said that
King Charles II. wore robe and hose of
silk from Virginia at his coronation in

f1ourished until the bounties werej with
drawn. In 1776 Georgia not only made
enough for home uses but exported over
1000 pounds Of reeled silk.

applied. The spinner, with careful fore
cast, adjusts his body in the best po-
sition for the cocoon and commences to
throw the floss that forms its outer coat
ing. The material of the silk is gum
my secretion in the sericteira, two large
glands along each side of the body, ter
minhting each in a spinneret in the
mouth. Each fibre of the thread proves
on microscopic examination to be double
one strand coming from each spinneret.
The worm closes himself in tighter and
tighter, the interior thread being the fin
or. He fixes his body in place with his
hooked feet and throws his head here and
there as he spins. The thread is some
times 1880 feet long without break.
Good cocoons should yield 300 yards; it
takes at least 1900 worms to raise a
pound of silk. Within five or six days
the spinning is completed, and the moth
presently makes preparation to emerge,
by the help of another secretion. which
softens OF dissolyes tho end of the cocoon.
Since In piercing the COCOON the worm
breaks the continuity Of the thread, it is
usually killed just before this stage by
exposing the cocoons to the sun were the
temperature is above eighty eight de-
grees, or by baking, steaming or other
wise heating them carefully SO that the
fibre is not gummed together by the
head.
The "good ooooons" ore fuzzy, oval
balls about the size of pigeons eggs,
white, yellow-whit8 or greenish (these
last from japanese eggs.) containing a
long continuous thread Of silk fibre and
the body of the dried chrysalis. The fuzz
or 'floss' is a rough, impure silk, which
is taken off rs waste.
A CHANCE FOR WOMEN.
At this stage the work of the silk worm
passes into the hands of the artisan. To
enumerate the many processes and ma
chimes it passes through before it reaches
the counter of the retail dry goode store
would require several columns of space.
Besides the silk worm is the most inter-

government was in trouble. Not havin g
revenue enough to pay its bills the gold
reserve was being drained to meet the
deficit; and the President was forced to
appeal to Congress. The appeal went at
once to the Ways and Means committee
and the response was the prompt framing
of the revenue and bond bills, both of
which unfortunately failed in the Senate.
There can be no doubt that had those
bills become laws the present difficulties

rot be prevailing. In the next Congress,

These are the men who consider WAYS

most of them will be in the same places
in the next Congress.
Mr.. Dingley has fully in view the i'm
portant work which lies before his COM
mittee in the next two years. The fl
nances of the government must be re-
organized, and this reorganization must
be planned and begun in the Ways and
Means committee room. The Republic
cans expect to select the next President,
and it Is important that they do that.
But in Mr.. Dingley's opinion it is equal
ly Important that the next Senate have
Republican majority, adequate in
numbers and courageous enough in lead
ership to carry through Republican legis-
lation against the plottings and delay of
the Democrats Populists and the coterie
of Republicans who put silver before
party. A nominal Republican majority
will not be sufficient to pass tariff bill
