cord and rope made of this blue asbestus
Will not only resist fire, but also most
OF the known chemicals, corrosive vapors
and atmospheric influences. These quail
ltles will open new field for the en-
ployment of asbestus fabrics in chemical
laboratories and for the calking of
chemical apparatus. = $500 D.,
&ts In order to test the resistance of the
new material a blue asbestus rope of
about three-fourths of an inch in diam
eter was weighted at one end with 22O
pounds. and exposed to constant fame
from a large gas jet, so that the rope for
considerable length was surrounded
by lire. The cord only broke after %
hours. Still it was trifle lighter than
q rope Of the same diameter made Of
Russian hemp. Compared with a new
hemp rope, the asbesrus rope has two
thirds of it's strength, but as the ropes
get older the proportion is altered in
favor of asbestus ropes, since they suffer
but very little from the influences Of
the atmosphere
Another novel application of this ma
terial il the working of blue asbestus
fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They
are cooler in summer and warmer in
winter than those made either of ami
NAL hair or vegetable fiber, and no YER
min can live in this mattress. Expert
ments are now being made of working
this fiber into cloth for firemen's ap-
parel. Of course the long fiber of blue
asbestus can also be employed for all
the uses to which white asbestus has
been put heretofore. While trifle more
expensive. its superior qualities made it
we'll worth the difference. -Philadel-

VIEWS OF SENATOR
BUTLER.
He Would Like to See PETER Elected
in Place of AnnIerYnnrt.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Butler,
chairman of the national peoples party
committee, was asked today what he
thought would be the outcome of the two
meetings Of the reformers, one at Kansas
City and one at Memphis now in session,
which represent the two different factions
of the peoples party. He said that If the
populist editors who have gone to Kan
sas City had gone to Memphis there
would not be the slightest doubt about
the true popu1ists controlling the Mem
phis convention. He thought, however,
that Vandervoort would be certain to be
defeated for reelection, and said If
true popuist was elected president,
man who did not represent either faction
OF the party, he felt sure that both ele-
ments would come together He said
there were number of men upon whom
the elements could unite but that he
thought, everything considered, Senator
Pe1er was the best and most available
man Tor the position. He said PETER
owned one Of the most influential papers
III Kansas, and would give his personal
attention after the 4th of March to edit
ing this journal, the Topeka Advocate.
lie ADDED; Mr.. PETERS election would
certainly be acceptable to the western
populists, and every southern populist
except the few who wanted Mckinley
elected in the last election would be per-
tectly satisfied with him."

DEATH OF REV. THOMAS GRACE
Was Formerly Catholic Bishop of st.
Paul.

St Paul, Feb 22.-The Most Rev. Thorn
as Grace. formerly bishop of st. Paul
latterly titular archbishop of Siunia, died
this morning. He fell victim to oroh-
chitis six weeks ago and sank gradually
and painlessly till he passed away.
Thomas Grace was born in Charleston
S. c., in 1916. He entered the Dominical
order and went to Rome, where he EN-
braced a theological course. Shortly al
ter ordination he was placed in charge OF
the parish Of Memphis. In 1859 he was
called to the diocese of St. Paul. He was
consecrated by Bishop Spring that year
succeeding Joseph Cretin, first bishop. In
July. 1884, finding the burden too heavy
he resigned the bishopric of st. Paul into
the hands of John Ireland, the present
archbishop.

clothed with forests The reserve is one
OF the most rugged, difficult, least known
and least settled part of the United
States.
No. 9-The Olympic forest reserve oc-
cupies the high and broken Olympic
mountains, in northwestern Washintcn
and contains an estimated area of 21S8, 800
acres. This proposed reserve no doubt
contains for it's area the largest and
most valuable body of timber belonging
to the nation.
No. 10-The Mount Rainier forest reserve
was originally established by executive
order of February 20, 1898, as the Pacific
forest reserve The proclamation eX-
tends the reserve southwark along the
two slopes of the Cascade mountains
nearly to the Columbia river, and chang
es the name from the Pacific to the
Mount Rainier forest reserve, The pro-
posed extension makes the total area of
the Mount Rainier reserve 2,234, $50 acres
No 1.-THE Stanislaus forest reserve
extends north along the slopes of the 81
ezra Nevada mountains in California, and
embraces an area of 691 200 acres.
No. 12-The San Jacinto forest reserve
embraces the San Jacinto mountains in
southern California, and is separated
from the existing San Bernardino forest
reserve by the San Georgonio pass, the
estimated area being 737, $50 acres.
No. l3-The Uintah forest reserve en-
braces both slopes of the eastern part OF
the Uintah mountain range in northern
Utah, and the northern slope only of the
western part OF this range the southern
slope being part of Uintah Indian reser-
walton.
The Committees Report.
The report of the committee concludes
with the statement that it fully recog-
nized the fact that the forest reserves
established and corrected, can not remain
unless plan can be adopted under which
their boundaries can be modified so as to
take from them all lands better suited
for agricultural purposes than for the
products of forests, and under which
their timber can be made available for
domestic and commercial purposes and
valuable minerals can be freely sought
for and mined within their boundaries
The commission Is now engaged in per-
fecting a scheme of forest arrangement
which it IS believed will make the ad-
ministration of the reserVes possible.
Secretary Francis says; The deep and
growing interest in the preservation OF
our forests will make the act of Presi-
dent Cleveland very popular with all eX-
cept those who have selfish designs on the
forests. The timber growth in most or
many of the older states has peen ruth
lessly laid waste, and in some Actions the
settlers are realizing it's scarcity, its cost
for domestic uses growing greater from
year to year. Furthermore, these for
ests are the great reserves of the coun-
try. They preserve the snow when pro-
tected and furnish a good and oppor-
tune supply of water in the streams.
This forestry committee which has done
such good work will now formulate for
submission to congress, through the sec
rotary of the Interior a forestry policy to
provide for the protection of these won
derful reservations from the depredations
of sacrilegious man as well as from the
ravages of fire"
