weighing sIlk.

Some improvements in the treatment
Of silk are noted. Ordinarily silk is
weighted by depositing tannate of
tin on the fiber; the material receives a
bath Of fannie acid and then another Of
perchloride Of tin, repetition Of this
being made until an increase Of the
weight amounts to from 10 to 90 per
cent, beyond which it is not considered
safe to 20 in the case Of silk intended to
be dyed light shades or to be bleached.
Recently German inventor has brought
forward process in which silica is the
weighing agent. In carrying out this
method three steps are described. First,
the silk, raw or in any stage Of manu-
fscture and either before or after dye
ing, IL worked for an hour in bath Of
perchloride of tin; then, after squeezing
and washing, 1t is worked in warm
solution Of water glass or soluble sill
cate Of soda for about an hour, followed
by washing, having also been previously
passed through solution of phosphate
OF soda The operation may be repeated
again and again with no harmful effect
on the fiber or ON the subsequent dye
ing. and in five operations the silk may
be increased in weight some 100 to 100
per cent The silk is now soaped. and,
II already dyed, is cleared in an emul-
sion of olive oil and acid. New York

A good story is told concerning the
members Of the fire brigade in certain
town not far from Hastings. On one &C.
casion 1t appears fire broke ont in the
town, and rush was naturally made
for the fire engine, which was always
kept ON the premises of one of the in
habitants. When the men attempted to
take the engine out, however, they were
met with the exclamation from the Gus
todian:
CHI ye can't take that out. I've got
q hen sitting on there, and you'll break
her eggs."
Tradition AYERS that the men. seeing
the force Of this argument, instantly
withdrew, and the fire was put out by
means of pals of water drawn from a
neighboring we'll Pearson Weekly.

how to expatiate on the good qualities
and show the best points of goods. As

attitude Of admiration, and holding il

They Associate Spectral Hounds With
Mountain Storms
One of the many curious superstitions
Of the Welsh peasantry is that OF Cron
Annwn, or "the spirit hounds of the
air." When storm RACES over the
mountains of Wales, the peasant will
tell You that his ear can discern the
howl of the Cron Annwn mingled with
that of the wind, but sufficiently clear
and distinct I. admit of no mistake of
what it is.
These Esprit hounds" he tells You.
are the spectral dogs which hunt the
souls Of the dead, or which foretell, by
their expectant cry. the approaching
death Of some person Of evil deeds. Few
Of those who pretend that they can so
readily distinguish the cry of the soul
hunting pack are willing to admit that
they have ever actually seen Cron
Annwn, 'for," they say, "who would
linger until such specters dawned upon
the sight?" They are described by Fall
esin, and also in the "Mabinogion,
where it is said they are Of clear, shin
ing white, with red ears. The above
seems to be the universal description,
and on that account the author of
Mythology Of the Ancient Druids
gives it as his opinion that they are
really mystical transformations of
Druidish priests, with their white robes
and red tiaras."
In the popular superstitions of Ire
land, where similar belief in spectral
hounds exists, they are said to be "jet
black, with eyes and teeth Of fire. Old
Con McMichael, who murdered 90 per-
sons in the early part Of the fifteenth
century, and who got rid of his victims
by burning their bodies, is said to have
been eaten by spectral dogs THAT could
be seen high in the air awfully rending
and tearing his flesh. - One of the pecul-
iarities Of the Cron Annwn, according
to the Rev. Edmund James, is that the
farther away they are the louder their
cries appear, the sound decreasing as they
draw near. -Pittsbnrg Dispatch.
