was consequently sc years and days
of age at the time Of his death. In
1922, Mr.. Chamberlins rather removed
with his family to Worcester and for
a number of years was engaged in
the business of keeping a tavern in
the neighborhood of Washington
square. Henry attended the Latin
grammar school until 1927, in which
year he was apprenticed to Daniel
Haywood, who kept a typical country
store with its numerous departments
all crowded into one. He remained IN
this position for number of years and
in 1885 opened a store of his own IN
what was known as the Hamilton
building, which was a small wooden
structure, standing on Main street, OPP
posite the site of the present Mechan-
les Hall building.
ais was the real beginning of Mr..
Chamberlins business career and was
also the actual initiative of the dry
goods business in Worcester, for, al
though there had previously been sew
eral small dealers in dry goods in the
city in conjunction with other lines
of merchandise, Mr.. Chamberlin was
what he has often been styled, the
pioneer of the Worcester dry goods
trade" In 1910 the firm of Fl. FL. Cham
berlin & Company was formed. Later
Barnard & Company; still later. that
Of Barnard & Sumner, and is now the
we'll known house, The Barnard, sum
ner & Putnam Company.
In 1855 Mr.. Chamberlin retired from
the firm and the dry goods business,
having amassed a considerable prop
erty, and during the succeeding years
Aof the war time he was a large manu-
facturer of cotton and wooden goods in
Dxford. Afterward he was one of the
most extensive dealers in wooden stocks
in the state, conducting his business
here in Worcester.
During the time that Mr.. Chamberlin
was at the head of the dry goods house
of Chamberlin, Barnard & Co, Gen. A.
B. r. Sprague, Louis Barnard, Otis
r. Putnam, S. H. Putnam and several
other men who have afterward become
prominent figures in the life of the city,
were apprentices and clerks for him.
OF late years, since his retirement
from the wool business, Mr.. Chamber
lin has been engaged in. real estate
deals of considerable magnitude at the
south end of the city. He laid out and
named Woodland, haywood and HaW-
thorne streets, as well as several 9TH
ers that have not developed into such
popular residential thorouglfares as
those mentioned. His connection with
the land in the vicinity Of these streets
dates back from 40 to so years, but it
has only been within the years sue

business that Mr.. Chamberlin has de-

WOOL FROM ROCK.

{. c. Hall, chemist of the Union Steel
Company, az Alexandria, Ind, has dis
covered process of making fine wool
from rock. From combination of "a
per cent. Of limestone, chemicals and
one OF the cOmmonest OF minerals he
turns out pure wool as white as the
winter snow. One of the largest weav-
ing concerns in Massachusetts Is maxi
ing experiments with this new wool,
with the view Of its adoption in the
weaving Of cloth and under-garments.
While making experiments with lime
stone for this factory Mr.. Hall found
that a certain kind, instead of turning
10 qulcklime as Is natural with ordinary
limestone when subjected to fire, would,
when combined with chemicals turn
into lava, and when subjected to an
other process this lava could be rem
dered pliable and handled similar TO
molten glass. From this beginning the
process was pushed further, and a
downy wool resulted, the possIbll les Of
which seem TO be almost unlimited
Halls rock wool Is Just as soft and
white as the wool the sheep produces
and can be manufactured cheaper than
the sheep can be raised and clipped
The new wool Is not affected by fire or
water. The rock from which II II
manufactured appears like common

ries In and around Alexandria, Ind,

TWO OF 4 TRADE.

That two OF trade seldom agree is
a common saying. It's weakness, how
ever. resides in the fact that 1t is q
cayilling, sneering saying. The idea
sought TO be conveyed Is that the dis
agreement Is the outcome Of reciprocal
jealousy. While that Is likely, 1t Is
not a necessary, or even a philosopn-
iCai inference. Two OF trade may
easily see reasons for an honest dif-
ference OF opinion to which the out
slider is blind. Again, two of a trade
may agree and boUh be wrong-on a
point, OF course, connected with their
own industry. Some years ago there
was high debate over the question
whether a painting. exhibited in Paris,
was an original Nelasquez or a copy.
Half the artists and cOnHoiSSemS IN
Europe got hot under the collar about
it. IL was one or the Other-so thoy
said. Later on the fact came out. 1t
was neither an original nor copy;
1t was a J'cpiicd. The experts were
mistaken. And 50 runs speculative
judgment In everything.

Professor Koebele while making
some investigations in the Govern
ment nursery last Saturday made an
important discovery. While examining
some caterpilIars he found small
parasitic fly, which is the only one OF
its kind yet discovered in the ISLANDS.
1t Is called the taching. The prin-
cipal feature about 1t Is the fact that
il lays It's eggs on the back of the cat
erpiilar. On this account 1t Is very
useful IN the destruction of the cater
pillar. Professor Koebele Is elated
over the discovery, and intends to
make some experiments with it in a
few days.
