SOMETHING ABOUT SILKS.
They Are Not Cheap, and the Popular
Varieties Are Many.

1T is funny thing about silks this year"
said the silk man. AT one time YOU could
say that such and such a silk was in fash
ion, because all the women were buying
that kind, but it isn't that way now Women
are buying everything under the sun in the
way of silks. There are brocades, small
patterned silks, stripes-everything; We
can't say that we are selling more Of one
kind than another, because we sell them
all.
Women like something different Well

THE FATIGUE OF METALS.
They Become "Tired" and Weakened
Under Sustained Distress.
Engineering Magazine.

Engineering Magazine.
Ever since the experiments of WohIer the
subject of the so-called fatigue" of metals
has been discussed from various standpoints
and, although most engineers have acknoWI-
edged the deterioration indicated by those
experiments, some prominent experts have
denied such action. Thus, for example, no
less an authority than Mr.. Theodore Cooper
maintained that the term fatigue of metals
was absurd and unscientific, and totally at
variance with the acceptance of the perfect
elasticity of metals as heretofore accepted
AT the same time, many others, of equally
high reputation, accepted the theory of
WOher, and have used the formula deduced
from his experiments by Launhardt in pro-
portiOning frame structures. One of the
stanchest advocates of the theory Of Wohler
is Mr. Henry 3. Seaman, and in a paper re-
Gently presented by him before the American
Society of Civil Engineers on the L.aunhardt
formula, he not only rediscusSes the original
experiments, but adds to them the results
obtained by Bauschinger deducing some adj
ditlonal relations which confirm the theory
Wohler's experiments made in $780, showed
that a repetition of stresses below the ulti-
mate strength of the material finally causes
rupture, from which it follows that lower
working stress should be allowed when the
live load is a larger proportion of the total
load than that allowed when the dead load
predominates. In the Launhardt formula
the working unit stress may be determined
for any given relation of live and dead load
and since 1882 the formula has been extern
sively used in America The most important
result deduced by Mr. Seaman from his re-
examination Of the experiments is the fact
that the effect of live load applied repea /
edly is equal to a dead load twice as great
Although the results are derived from ex-
perirnents with different kinds of strain and
are too brief to permit the formulation of
any definite theory. there seems to be ample
basis for a general theory of work. e., that
the material is capable Of doing a certain
amount of work derived possibly from treat
ment. or work which II receives in manu-
facture and when that amount of work is
exceeded the material becomes fatigued and
its tenacity finally destroyed. Under these
circumstances the destructive effect of live
strain may be considered as bearing a GER
tain relation 10 that of dead strain and in
the experiments on wrought iron that effect
would seem to be about in the ratio of two
to one for all cases.

All crimes in Indiana are statutory and di-

Some Englishman, pretending to
Admiral Dewey or General Merritt,
recently declared that Americans
promised the natives of the Philip
pines islands independence, and that
under This promise the Filiplnos re-
sisted all overtures from Germany
and France. The Englishman makes
a mistake. The Americans made no
promise of independence. Admiral
Dewey went to Manila to destroy the
Spanish feet and to take possession
of the city. The Filipinos were IN
no way concerned, and no promises
were made to them.

THE TORONTO MARPLoT.

The Toronto World keeps up its
MachIavelian tactics. Out of a spirit
of mere partisanship it is doing all it
can to engender strife between Can
ada and the United States.
1t pretends to fear that England
and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Domin-
ion premier, will trade off Canadian
interests for the sake of the Anglo
American alliance, and to support its
absurd contention gives a grossly in
accurate review of historic incidents
bearing on the fixing of the boundary
between Canada and the United
States. England, it claims, has made
a wanton surrender of Canadian ter
ritory, and ON that line it refers to
the Oregon treaty, saying:
E'In 1916 the Oregon treaty was
made. By it England gave away
northern California, Nevada and the
states of Washington and Oregon
without compensation of any kind,
and through ignorance of the value
of the territories. A young lords
letter, it was said. had quite an in
fiuence. He was hunting in Oregon,
and he wrote home that the fish and
game there were no good"
The converse is the case. England
drove a wonderfully shrewd bargain
for Canada. The United States had
superior title to the entire watershed
of the Colum bia. By treaty it had
acquired the discovery rights of
Spain, and these rights were fortified
by Captain Gray's discovery in 1892
of the Columbia river, by Lewis and
Clarke's explorations in 1804-5, by
John Jacob Astor's occupation of the
country long before the Hudson's
Bay Com pany came in, and by actual
possession and settlement. AT the
time the treaty was signed which
made the 49th degree of latitude the
boundary line, smoke was rising over
the disputed territory from a thous.
and American cabins.
Although Polk was elected on 6
platform expressly declaring fol
American ownership of the Oregon
country up to the line of "a 40
''with or without war with England, ,
British diplomats wheedled him into
a square backdown, and he shuffled
upon the senate the responsibility fol
the adoption of the unpopular treaty
These historic facts are not re.
called in lamenting spirit, but to
point out the unreasonabIeness of the
Toronto paper, in finding fault, al
this late day, with England's adrol,
settlement of the Oregon question.

Government Breeding Them for the
Purpose of Producing a New Kind
of SiIk-An Interesting
Experiment.


Some very remarkable bugs are be-
ing Matched and reared just at present
by the experts of the government bu-
reau of entomology at Washington.
Most people would suppose that there
were enough insects in existence with
out resorting to artificial propagation;
but the fact is that this kind of scientific
work has very useful purpose in view.
This, too, notwithstanding thefact that
the species selected for breeding are
the most pestiferous that can be found.
The bug hatchery, or "insectary," as
it is called, is a brick building close by
the department of agriculture. In con-
struction it resembles greenhouse, the
upper part being of glass, so as to admit
plenty of light for the insects. 1t is
divided into two compartments, one OF
which is artifcially heated for the ben
eft of tropical and other species that
require warmth, while the other is cold.
On shelves all around the interior, and
on the floor as well, are glass jars and
queer glass-sided boxes containing
great variety of odd-looking objects.
The objects in the glass jars are parts
of plants, fruits, dried-up vegetables,
pieces of branches or roots, etc. One
does not see any bugs at all, and the
reason why is simply that the veg
etables, fruits and so forth are, the
natural food of the insects, and the lat
ter are either inside of them or else
are "done up in cocoons for the win
ter.
For example, there is huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from twig
in jar of exceptional size. This is the
temporary communal dwelling built by
the so-called "gregarious butterfly" in
Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is
the illars-transformed later into
| butterf1ies-that construct the cocoon
| for a residence while they are under
going their metamorphosis. The CO.
coon looks and feels as if made of thick
parchment, and at the lower end of it
| is a small hole that serves for door.
| The labor employed in building it must
be enormous. Under powerful mag
nifying glass, it is seen to be composed
of an infinite number of shining and
very slender silken threads, crossing
each other in every direction. When
cut into, the nest is found to contain
100 or more chrysalids, attached to the
walls on the inside-each one repre-
senting a future butterfly.
The habit of combining together to
build house seems to be peculiar to
this species among butterflies. The silk
composing the nest is exquisite, and
from 20 to 25 sheets of it can be stripped
off from the great cocoon as if woven
in a loom. If the silk could only be
spun, the 'gregarious butterfly would
soon displace the silkworm, and the
silks and satins of commerce would be
of butterfly manufacture. Unfor'
tunately, the difficulty remains un-
solved, though many attempts in this
direction have been made. Could So
luton of the problem be found, silk
would become at once enormously less
costly, inasmuch as the cocoons of thi:
kind of butterfly are to be gathered in
immense numbers asa wild crop in the
forests of Mexico.-Boston Transcript
