Cotton ccllulose is an interesting mate.
rial Neither alcohol, benzine, ether, chic
reform nor water will dissolve 1t; indeed
they have no effect In any way upon it, A
90 per cent solution OF zinc chloride added
to any form Of cellulose conquers it. The
result is liquid of sirupy consistency,
which will, when sufficiently diluted prc-
cipitate the cellulose in the form of "A gelat-
inous mass. 1t consains about 20 per cent
zinc oxide and is moro or less hydrated.
Almost every known substance contains
moro or less water, and this is of great i'm
portancO in tho handling of eellulose In
spinning, especially what is known as by
groscopic moisture being necessary. Very
dry cotton will not make smooth thread.
1t is knotty, brittle and harsh and twists
and snarls continually. Loaded with a
certain amount of moisture, it becomes
soft, elastic and manageable. On thu
same principle wool must carry certain
proportion of grease. without this it IL
impossible to spin Gnc and smooth threads.

1t is to DO feared that some of the
noted COW tests are frauds OF most
disgraceful kind. A writer records that
once during the test of famous COW
for quantity cs butter in given time
be caught the man who had charge of
her slipping a quantity of the thiokest
cream through an aperture in the
sealed vessel containing the cream from
the cows milk. The foreign cream was
put in by means of tube. There is
reason to believe the like has been done
more than once. The fellow who would
be guilty Of it ought to be drummed
from one end Of the country to the other
with placard bearing the word
thief" upon his back, Honest owners
of fine COWS are discouraged by such
knavery and refuse to enter their COWS
