RAMIE.
4 Plant Which Puts Inventive
Science Mt Fault.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
One of the most interesting problems of
the day in the utilization of the new fiber
material, and one that is attracting the at
tention of all civilized countries, is the in
dustrial production of that wonderful sub
stance known in the orient as China grass.
in India as thea, and in Europe and
America as ramie. The money spent by
governments and by private enterprise
throughout the word, in experiments and
inventions, in the efforts to esta blish the
ramie industry, would make up the total
OF princely fortune. Obstacle after OBJ
stacle has been overcome in the years of
persistent effort, and now we stand before
the last barrier, bafled for the time, but
still hopeful, and with efforts unrelaxed,
The difficulty may be stated in few
words-ramis culture will only become a
paying industry when an economically sue
cessful machine for stripping the fiber has
been placed on, the market. Hundreds Of
thousands of dollars have been spent in
efforts to perfect a machine. but no gov
eminent fiber expert in the world recog-
nizes that we have such machine at the
present time, though great progress has
been made in machine construction.
The worlds interest in this fiber began
in 1869 when a reward of 5000 was Of
fered by the government of India for the
best machine with which to decorticate
the green stalks. The first exhibition and
trial of machines took place i'm 1872. re-
sulting in utter failure. The reward was
again offered, and in 1879 a second official
trial was held, at which ten machines
competed though none filled the require
ments, and subsequently the offer was
withdrawn.

INGENUITY OF A THEE.


In seeking to escape from the police

with being a chronic petty larcenist,
improvised a balloon ont Of four or i've
turkeys. says the Denver Times. Pa
trolman William Hogan wGs trudging
peacefully down Market street about 8
o'clock in the evening when his eye fell
on the form Of q man turning into Mar
Ket from 18th. In the mans hands,
two in the hand dangled four live,
squawklng turkeys. At the instant
when officer Iogan's eyes lit en- the
man and the turkeys the mans eye
llt on the form OF officer Hogan. This
coincidence was followed by strange
doings. The man with the turkeys
bOlted for the stairway leading to fur
nished rooms with Officer Hogan I'm hot
pursuit. The man seemed to realize
rs he reached the foot of the stairway
that unless something miraculous hap
pened he would be overtaken A hap
py thought seized him. with quick
movement Of his arms he showed The
four turkeys which he had hitherto
carried dangling, head down. from his
hands, and had found to be a great
burden-aloft above his head. In
stantly the wings Of the great birds ex-
panded and began to flap nightly.
This action of the four pairs Of wings
resulted in a motion much like that
OF balloon. a flying machine or an
aeroplane. Mr. Jones found himself
jerked quickly and irresistibly up the
stairway and rapidly out OF the
clutches Of the pursuing copper. The
movement was a powerful one, and 1t
would unquestionahly have landed Mr.
Jones in safety had it not been for the
roof. But alasl the roof WIS in the
way The four muscular turkeys
scared steadily and serenely upward.
passing the first floor landing with
ease and reaching forward with great
ambition for higher things Mr.. Jones
chuckled gayly. All Of a sudden,
though, there was a dull thud and a
heavy fall. The heads Of the four
turkeys had crashed into the ceiling,
and dazed by the concussion. the four
turkeys and Mr.. Jones tumbled into a
squealing, kicking heap on the floor.
Officer Hogan rushed up, seized them,
bundled them into the patrol wagon
and sent them to the police station
house. Mr.. Jones was locked up for
| petty larceny and the four turkeys
| were turned over to the custodian to
| await the appearance Of a claimant.

Capacity for Knowledge
From the New York Post: That the
Indian has a capacity for higher cd
ucation appears from the facts given
In the eighteenth annual report Of the
Indian industrial school at Carlisle,
Pa During the past year five students
from Carlisle have attended Dickinson
college, one at Metzger college for
women, Others have attended tho
Carlisle high school, some have
been at the normal schools OF
the state. Drexel institute at Phil
adelphia and the nurses schools OF
Philadelphia. New Haven and Hart
ford. One OF the pupils. after grad
uating from a New England normal
school, was employed last year In a
high school in Connecticut and taught
SO successfully as TO be recalled and
given permanent situation as teacher.
Thus far no difficulty has been expe-
rienced In placing all those who show
ed a desire for a higher education than
Is given at Carlisle There. for mani
fest reasons the education Is OF prac-
teal industrial character, as best fitted
TO make the Indian self-supporting In
his changed condition. As a further
means OF inducing The indian boys
aud girls into civilized family and ma
tional life the outing system has been
adopted. During the fiscal year 1897
there were placed out from the Car
Isle school for longer or shorter pc
riod5 iO1 boys and 3l9 girls. OF these
lO4 boys and l0l girls remained out all
winter, attending district and other
Americanizl1g schools with the young
people OF the families in which they
resided, earning their board with their
work out of school hours. BY an ex-
tension OF this system the school could
economically care for 500 children, OF
about twice the present number en-
rolled. The children placed with fam
ilies last year earned total Of $20,-
| 1899, OF which the boys earned $l3,-
1887 and the girls $7,263.12. From
these amounts the boys saved S6.426.O'
