SHETLAND WOOL.
1t Is Plucked from the Backs of the
Sheep.


Sheep.
The chief characteristic of Shetland
hosiery is the extreme fineness of the
wool used. This wool, says Chambers
Journal, is obtained from the native
Shetland sheep, an animal of decidedly
meager appearance. and which south
ern hockmaster would be inclined to
"have none off, Nevertheless, this
humble beast, picking up scanty liv-
ing on the bleak hiilsides where it's
larger relatives would starve, produces
wool of remarkable fineness; and when
il is mentioned that the natural colors
vary from black and white to an endless
variety of grays, browns, fawns, and
chestnuts of many shades Qocally called
''moorit,') it will be seen that the Shet-
land people have ready to their hand
for their purpose.
In connection with the fineness of
the wool, the method of taking it from
the sheep is worthy of note. 1t is not
clipped or shorn in the usual way; but
at the proper season is literally plucked
from the back of the animal, it being
averred that shearing tends to deterio-
rate the quality of every succeeding
fleece; and, of course, to keep the yield
of wool as fine as possible is real desid-
eratum. The plucking referred to
usually appears to strangers to be a
cruel expedient; but in reality the
sheep seems to suffer no more from it
than from ordinary shearing.

TRYING TO MAKE DIAMONDS.
No Great Success Has as Yet Been
Attained.

The experiments of MoisSan and his
success in producing microscopic crys-
tails OF carbon, which, technically at
least, were entitled to be called arti-
fetal diamonds, are well known. We
now have, says the Engineering Maga-
zine, further contributions to the sub
ject of the crystallization of carbon by
the well-known electro-chemist, DR..
Borchers, who contributes an article
to The Zeitschrift fur Elektrochemie"
reviewing the past attempts in this di
ments. Moissan worked upon the line
of crystallization of fused carbon un-
der immense pressure, while Borchers
attains the same or similar results by
maintaining carbon rod at the high
temperature of the electric furnace for
considerable time, the surface of the rod
showing distinct evidences of crystal
lization.
The experiments have been carried
out upon a small scale only, and, being
unable to continue the researches, Dr.
Borchers gives full account of his
method and apparatus, trusting that
further Investigations may be carried
on by those who have powerful currents
at their disposal and opportunity to
carry out all the conditions which sue
cess demands.

CIRCUS MANS REcOLLECTIoNS
Remembered q Giant Who COnbetl Il
His Hair with n Fence


'Giants?" said the old circus man,
relates the New York Sun. "Oh, yes,
we've had some big men in the show at
one time and another. One of the big.
gest we ever had used to comb his hair
with section of picket fence That
was part of the street show when we
made the parade in a town. Usually
we had an arrangement in advance with
the owner of the fence, and had q
panel loosened so that the giant
wouldn't wreck too much of the fence
in picking up the part he was to use
When the show came along to this
spot the giant would step up to the
fence, take of his hat, and pick up the
piece of fence-it always looked as if
he had tremendous strength too-and
raise it up and comb his hair with it.
And then he would put the big comb
down again and put on his hat and move
on. This always tickled the people i'm
mensely. And he certainly was big
man, sure; but we had bigger man
once. l wouldn't dare tell you how
big this other man was, because you
wouldn't believe it."

200 Barrels Daily.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Sept. 3d.
Chester Bell. one of the members of the
boo" gang. was released from the county
Jail by Prosecutor Freeman last evening on
the ground that there was nothing in the
criminal charge against him. 1t is claimed
that he can prove an alibi and had nothing
to do with the assault of Agent John e.
Gray. "A rumor to the effect that .Dingey"
Knox was also to be set at liberty aroused
the wrath of citizens and a party of ten
merchants, who have been victims of the
Boo gang, made a special call on Judge
Fox, of Richmond, to-day. protesting
against such an outrage and demanding
complete investigation. These young men
have terrorized the town for years, and in
a number of crimes, it is charged, they
have stood in with prosecuting attorneys
and were always let off in an easy way. The
citizens have stood it as long as they can.
and they are determined to see that the law
is rigidly enforced. The day that VIII
Knox, the man who assaulted Mr.. Gray,
returned, making his bold assertion of inno-
cence, it is claimed that his release was
demanded by county Off ial on the ground
that he could establish his innocence and
that the official would stand responsible
for his appearance, but the deputy sheriff
would not permit it and Knox was buried
to the county Jail. II has since developed
that he is the man who made the assault.
There is great Indignation among citizens
generally, because of the laxity in the en-
forcement Of the law, and there is no tell
ing what would be the termination should
young Knox be released.

Controller Eckels Says the East anE

OMAHA, Sept. 30.-Hon. James II. Eek

guest of the Omaha Clearing House Asso-
citation at the Omaha Club tonight
Among the distinguished company who as
sembled to meet Mr.. Eckels was Hon. j.
Sterling Morton, ex-secretary of agricul-
ture. Mr.. Eckels in responding TO the call
for speech, said:
Here III this Western country is con-
tanned all that goes 10 make country rich,
whether in mineral resource or agricultural
products. II is complained not infreQuentiy
by the people of the West that the people
of the East are ignorant of the West and
the riches here TO be found. The East is
not ignorant of the number of political fac
tons which exists in the State Of Nebraska.
the State of Colorado and other equally
rich and important commemorative, even
though they may be ignorant of the ricn-
ness of the soil here and the agricultural
and mineral resources of your sister States.
No political conditions can be TO the adj
vantage of any people where there are so
many factions al have been bred in these
Western countries within the past few
years.
Coming to the silver question, Mr.. Eek
els said: The metal which II is demanded
shall by legislative fiet again take it's
place among the great monetary metals
of the commercial world lost its place IN
its transactions not through any prejudice
against it; not through the demand OF the
bankers or the business men of any country
that the volume of worlds money might
be diminished by one-half. but instead for
the simple reason that silver no longer best
answered the interests of commerce In
bringing about the transfer OF property
from one individual to another in the best
way. The agitation will die as people come
to understand the question The East and
West must stand together that each may
enjoy the full measure of prosperity now
daWning."

NEW YORK, Sept 3O.-Gen. Julio San
gully, who was arrested in Cuba, tried,
convicted pardoned and released at the re-
quest Of the United States government,
said to-day, discussing the Spanish crisis:
Il do not believe the formation by Sagasta
of Liberal Cabinet will have any effect
on the Cuban insurgents. The efforts of the
previous administrations have come to be
looked on in Spain as the wrong policy and
the feeling now is for any honorable
method or means to end the war. Sagasta
has been sounding prominent Cubans in
Paris and In this country as to autonomy
Tor Cuba and has solicited them to work
with him for that end Sagasta really be-
heves that with liberal provisions autonomy
would be acceptable to the Cubans. He is
very much mistaken. The Cubans have gone
too Tar TO accept autonomy. They are i'll a
better conaition now TO tight to the end
Tor absolute freedom than ever before. Why
accept autonomy when freedom Is at hand!

4 thought that President Mckinley would
do something for Cuba, and l still think
that he will do something for the struggling
country. He has already caused much con-
sternation among the Conservatives, and
whatever he has done in the matter of his
communication given to Minister Woodford
IT has certainly given incentive towards
the formation of a Liberal Ministry. The
people of Spain have lost all patience with
the governments conduct of affairs in Cuba,
