Missouri Man Inyents an Engine.

L. NJ. Robords, Of Sedelia, has invented
an engine which he expects to revolution
ize steam and compressed air power. The
Invention consists of q cylinder enclosed in
an outer casing. with a steam space be-
tween the casing and cylinder, in which
steam is admitted to Il piston which Is
bolted to the cylinder. An automatic slid
ing valve prevents the steam from pass
ing around the cylinder In a reverse direc-
tion. thereby applying the full force of the
steam to the peripGry of the cylinder by
pressure against the attached piston. Mr..
Robords thinks his engine will exert 2j
TO 81 per cent more power than the ordi-
nary steam engine with the same combus-
tion of coal.

WITH THREADS OF METAL

Tinsel Fabrics and the More Costly Bro
cAdcs Of Gold and Silver.
Tinsel fabrics are the lower priced of
tho cloths into which gold or silver
threads have been woven. In tinsel fab
RIGS the gold threads are of brass or cop
per, gilded, and the silver threads are
Of white metal. These threads of metal,
originally fine wire, are rolled fiat and
FURNISHED, and they glistcn in the fabric
wherever the pattern brings them to the
surface. Tinsel fabrics are made about
three-fourths Of q yard i'm width, and
they sell at 75 cents to S2.5O yard.
They come in various colors, and many
Of them are beautiful and artistic in de-
sign Some are copies of old Venetian
tapestries Tinsel fabrics are used for
church and for theatrical purposes and
sometimes for gowns and for decorative
purposes
The costlier fabrics, with interwoyen
metal threads, are called gold and sill
yer brocades. In these the gold threads
ere Of silver, gold plated. and tho silver
threads are Of pure silver; the body Of
the fabric is Of silk. The brocades are all
beautiful, and many of them are ex-
coedingly so. These fabrics are made
about five-eighths Of yard in width,
and they sell at various prices up to S25
and sometimes as high as $50 yard.
The costliest of these fabrics are very
rarely imported into this country, bro.
cades at $40 and sl2'a yard being about
the highest priced used here If more
elaborate fabrics are required, they are
usually imported to order. The finer
fabrics, with metal threads, are made

Gold and silver brocades are here
used almost exclusively for church pur-
poses and chiefly for vestments. They
are imported in red, violet and green
and also in black with silver threads,
the black and silver being for mourning.
Gold and silver brocades are also used
to n limited extent for decorative pur-
poses
