Cotton Cellul0se.

Cotton celluiose is an interesting ma
terial. Neither alcohol, benzine. ether.
indeed they have no effect in any way
nor water will dissolve it,
upon it. A so per cent solution of zinc
chloride added to any form of cellulose
conquers it. The result is liquid of a
sirupy consistency. which will. when
sufficiently diluted. precipate the cellu-
lose in the form of gelatinous mass.
It contains about Is per cent zinc OK
ide and Is more or less hydrated. AL
most every known substance contains
more or less water, and this is of great
importance in the handling Of cellulose
in spinning, especially what IS kl Cwn
as Microscopic moisture being neces-
sary. Very dry cotton will not make
smooth thread. It is knotty. brittle,
and harsh. and twists and snarls con-
tinually. Loaded with a certain amount
of moisture, it becomes soft, elastic and
manageable. On the same principle,
wool must carry a certain proportion
of grease. Without this it is impos-
sible to spin fine and smooth threads.

Artificial Diamonds,

About a century ago the great
French chemist, Lavoisier, learned that
the wonderful gem known as the dia-
mond is really composed of the same
material as charcoal, namely carbon.
At once it was suggested that it might
be possible to make diamonds out CT
coal. But most chemists secuted the
idea-the diamond was a natural min
eral and natures processes could not
be duplicated in the laboratory. Re-
Gently. however, NJ. Moisson has taken
up the subject, and has actually sue
ceeded in making true diamonds in
his forge. The gems thus manufactured
are very small, it is true, but the prin-
ciple has been found, and who can
doubt that its application will be ex-
tended until gems of any desired size
are made at will? 1t would be nothing
surprising If within the next genera
ton or two diamonds equal to the fin
est jewels were to be turned out from
factories by the ton, and sold at so
many cents an ounce, instead of so
many dollars a carat.

A Martyr to Melons.


The melon crop was short this year.
and a southwest Georgia farmer who
had practically "cornered'' it in his
neighbOrhood had suffered seriously
from the depredations of some Of the
hungry colored brethren. So he gave
it out that he had poisoned his mel
ons, and after the news went forth he
ceased to miss them.
Night after night an old negro who
lived near the finest melon patch had
gazed at their green sides with hungry
eyes. but the thought of the poison kept
him hungry still.
One moonlight night. however, his
appetite got the best of him. He look
ed in the direction Of the melons long
and earnestly; then, shouldering =
sack. he started of.

Vibration of Railways and Its Effect on
Health.

Vibration OF Railways aud Its Eject on
Health.
Annoyance and temporary discom-
fort are small items In the schedule of
ills chargeable to vibration and noise
on railways and the unceasing and ter
rifle racket of many of our cities. The
noise of the elevated railways has
caused commissions in children and
what is equivalent to nightmare in
adults. One lady of somewhat deli
cate organization has frequently sprung
from her bed on the approach Of a
train, and found herself standing up
right in the middle of the floor when
she awakened. 1t seemed that the en-
gineer of this train had a sweetheart
living in that neighborhood, and he
managed so that the locomotive made
series of peculiar noises whenever he
approached the dwelling of his inamo-
rata. This was the only train that so
affected the sufferer, and she was
obliged to leave the neighborhood on
account of it. In ordinary railway ira
vel speed is the most important item
to be looked after, and the noise attend
ing the great rapidity with which the
train moves is really secondary con-
sideration. Medical scientists who are
giving attention to this subject are be-
ginning to demand for their patients.
to take long journeys for their health,
accommodations in which due regard is
had for quiet and freedom from that vi
bration which affects the nervous sys-
tenn. Special routes are mapped out,
and certain lines are avoided because
Of the irritation by the clatter and
swinging of the trains.

Electric Light Blindness.

Electric Light Blindness.
Several cases of blindness from cleo
trio lights cave been reported. One
was a stoker on ship board, who suf-
fered great agony. He walked the
floor, holding his hands to his eyes and
moaning. The tears literally poured
from his eyes. Under treatment he
soon recovered, when he gave his ply
stefan the following facts: One after
noon he stood for the space of about
three minutes looking at an electric
drill. which was being used to drill
holes in steel plate. He was stand
ing about Is or 10 feet from the drill.
At tie moment he observed nothing
unusual, but when he returned to his
work he had peculiar sensations in his
eyes, and everything looked as though
covered with gold. This state of things
continued for some time when he
turned in and went to sleep. Three
hours later he woke up in great pain,
which did not subside until cocaine was
applied. Another case was also a stok-
er. who looked at a drill and expert
enced the same peculiar conditions as
to color. all things being clear golden
yellow. The surgeon declared the con-
dition to be akin to snow blindness. but
said that the intense irritation of the
nerves brought this state of affairs
about. 1t is claimed that a number of
cases OF this kind have occurred in
dock yards when electric drills were
hrst introduced. the men standing
about and looking on rs a matter of
curiosity.

There are several things in the man .

that should have careful attention, re-

animals are selected for feeding they
should be examined to ascertain vheth-
er they have lice, and if they should be
badly infested the vermin should be at
once removed. During the feeding
they should be kept free from disturb
ance, to which sheep are more sensi-
tive than any other domestic animal.
Dogs should be kept away from them
entirely. nor should strangers be al
lowed TO approach them unnecessarily.
The feeder should be always quiet aud
kind in handling and feeding. Regu-
larity in time of feeding is important,
the feed being given twice u day ut
intervals as nearly equal as practicable.
No more feed should be given than is
eaten up clean at each feeding. As
