THINGS MADE or WOOD PULP.
A Variety OF Articles Made from II. CelIu.
lose as a Rival of Iron, Steel and Wood,

A close rival of coal tar in adapta,
Dillty to unexpected purposes is wood
pulp or cellulOse. Since 1t was discov-
cred that excellent paper could be-
made from this substance wood pulp
has Been used as substitute, fraudu.
lent or otherwise, fer iron, steel. wood,
stone, glass, ivory and innumerable
kinds of animal and vegetable fibre.
AS material for car wheels the man
ufacturers have found it superior to
any kind of metal, being about three
times as durable as steel and much
more elastic. When subjected to great
pressure wood pulp takes an extraor-
| binary hardness. 1t has been found
available as a material for paving
bricks, drain thing, and conduits for
electric cables.
For ivory, which is becoming
scarcer every day, cellulose is the best
substitute that has yet been found
To-day it forms the material for the
cheaper billiard balls and has even
been used successfully for the manu-
facture of artificial teeth. When prop
erly treated wood pulp is practically
proof against heat and moisture
hence it has been found superior TO
timber for telegraph poles and screws.
Collins, too, are often made of wood
pulp. They are susceptible of a high
polish, look as we'll as the finest wood,
and are much cheaper.
Cannon, too, and bicycles are made
out of wood pulp in Germany. and
Chicago respectively, while a French
man has succeeded in producing a
thread from the same substance
which he declares can be worked ND
Into all sorts of fabrics. Another
Frenchman has produced wood pulp
carpet lining, and another again wood
pulp sail cloth, while Vienna inven.
tor declares that his wood pulp leath-
er is superior to animal leather in ti1e-
ness and durability.
For resisting the action of fire and
water wood pulp appears to be sue
cess. 1t is used to make waterproof |
paint for ships tireproof and water
proof paper, and even stoves, which
are said to be superior to iron ones.
Wood pulp window panes have been
IN use for several years, particularly
for greenhouses. and in France port.
able dwelling houses built of the same
have been found success
Among the other articles made of
wood pulp are boats canoes, cuspf
doris, pals, flower pots, tables, chairs,
bureaus. barrels, wagons, horse shoes
and imitation porcelain waire. The
of silk from wood pulp
IS now an important industry of Eng
land and France. The raw material
IS really the same as that of natural
silk.
1t is only a case of doing by ma,
;hines and chemicals what the silk
worm does because it cannot help it.

ANOTHER STORY.
The New City JAN May Be Enlarged 70,
asN More Cells

The New City JAIN May BE Enlarged for
More Cells.
There. is some talk in official circles of
adding another story to the prison por-
ton OF the city jail, the plans for which
contemplate only two stories and have
but two tiers of cells.
The Idea of running the prison depart
me1lt up to a point even with the roof
of the front portion of the building is
to permit the addition Of another tier
Of cells on each side when necessity de-
mands. It is. generally recognized now
that a mistake was made in not making
provision for more cells and the city Of
fieials VINO are directly interested in the.
Jail will doubtless make some effort to
have the third tier made possible when
needed by the extension of the back
building.
Contractor Richardson estimates the
cost of running the rear part up another
story to be in the neighborhood Of 5000
or $500. It would take very little time
to make this addition and when it is
finished there will be ample room to
make provision for third more prison
ers then the present plans contemplate.
Of course, it will not be necessary to ex-
the two tiers on each side of the prison
and the few cells in the front part for
youths and delicate prisoners will ac-
commodate all of the prisoners likely to
be incarcerated i'll Jail for several years
yet. There is satisfaction. however. in
knowing that when the time comes to
extend there will remain only the ex-
pense of adding the cells and there will
be no cost for tearing out the roof and
raising the walls.
At present there is no money that can
be. used for this purpose but in the next
few days il is not unlikely that some
means will he devised by which the adj
dition may be made before the building
is under roof.
Should the United States government
decide to enter into negotiations with
the city for the Incarceration of United
States prisoners sentenced BY and
awaiting trial before The United States
Court at Norfolk, for this district. it is
probable that the additional tier of cells
will be needed sooner than anticipated.
United States Marshal Morgan Treat. it
will be remembered, has recommended
that the Norfolk Jail be abandoned as
soon as this is completed and that all
prisoners under his jurisdiction be con-
fined in the Newport News jail
The work on the new Jail is going
ahead at a lively rate. The prison de-
partuent has been raised to the Win
dow stills of the first floor and the front
portion is going up rapidly. The stout
steel doors and window frames will be
placed in position next
