Cloth from Pineapple Fibre.

In an article in the Popular Science
Monthly, c. h. Dodge tells us the
leaf Of the pineapple contains a very
fine silky fiber that may be utilized in
the manufacture of textile fabrics. He
says: "A pineapple plant natures but
one apple in a season, and after the
harvest of fruit the old leaves are of
no further use to the plant, and may
De removed. The leaves have the same
structural system as the agaves-that
is. they are composed of cellular mass
through which the fibers extend, and
when the epidermis and pulpy matter
are eliminated the residue is a soft.silk-
like filament, the value Of which has
long been recognized. Only fifty pounds
of this fiber can be obtained from a
ton Of leaves, but, as the product would
doubtless command Double the price OF
Sisal hemp, its production would be
yrohtable How to secure this fiber

pietetic virtues of Olive Oil.

Olive oil is now being used in many
ways at one time never thought o.
Besides being largely used medlc1nally,
observes the Sanitary Record, 1t enters
into various processes of cooking much
more extensively than it did. In mas
sage, bathing, and for numerous other
PURPOSES. the use of this most valua-
BILE natural food is greatly extending
Eminent authorities have found 1t
potent agent for many defects of the
excretory ducts, especially the skin.
Eczema has rapidly disappeared upon
the discontinuance of starch food and
the substitution of diet Of fresh ana
dried fruits, milk, eggs and olive OIL.
Taken in conjunction with fruit diet
its beneficial effects have frequently
been marked upon the hair, nails and
scalp, supplying as it does to the Sc
baceous glands the only substance
which they secrete when in healthy
condition, and the absence OF which
is the cause of debility OF the hair,fre-
quently ending in badness. 1t has
long been observed that those who live
upon olive oil as a common article OF
food are generally healthier than those
who do not. Its therapeutic and
prophylactic qualities are now well
known to medical men. Oil is destruc-
tive to certain forms Of micro-organ1c
life, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they can best be eradicated from
the system by its internal use. The
use of oil not only does this, but it re-
stores to the worn out or disease It's
sues just those elements of repair that
its reconstruction demands.

cheaply is the problem. The Sisal hemp
machines are too rough in action FOR
so fine fiber, and at the rate OF ten
leaves to the pound, working up ton
Of the material would mean the han
ding of over twenty thousand leaves
to secure perhaps three dollars worth
Of the commercial product. Were the
fiber utilized in the arts, however, and
its place established, it would compete
in a measure with fax as a spinning
fiber, for its filaments are divisible to
the ten-thousandth of an inch. The
substance has already been utilized to
slight extent in eastern countries
(being hand-prepareO, in the manu-
facture of costly, filmy, cobweb-like
fabrics that will almost float in air.

See Your Own Heart Beat.

Roentgen Rays have become potent
power for good in the hands of wide
awake physicians and surgeons, and
many practical devices and appliances
are being constantly created. One such
instrument has been named the See
hear" as with its aid a physician may
simultaneously see the pulsations OF
the heart and hear its beatings. More
over, by a clever arrangement, RECORDS
of the size and condition of the heart
may be made. Briefly, the device con-
sists of a sound frame, to which are
attached the ear tubes. Above this
sound frame is phosphorescent
screen and over that again sheet OF
celluloid and a sheet of tracing clotn,
all held compactly together In a
clamping frame. The celluloid sheet
protects the tracing cloth from de-
stroying the surface of the sensitive
screen, when marked on by pencil
or pen, and both being transparent,
they do not sensibly diminish the deli
milton of the shadows cast on the
screen. By applying this frame over
the heart area, and placing the ex-
cited tube behind the patients back,
a Photograph of the heart is formed on
the phosphorescent screen. Many doc
tors hold that a nervous patient can
be more certainly assured of his nor
NAL condition if he can see for him
self For such patients modification
has been made of the apparatus above
described, in which a mirror is ar
ranged in the proper relation to the
screen to enable him to see the image
cast on the screen. By inserting the
ear tubes in his ear while the frame
is held in position he can readily hear
the beatings of his own heart and wit
ness its pulsatiOns.

Mrs. Fleming of the Harvard OBJ
servatory has discovered a new star in
the constellation Sagittarius. The dis
covery was made, not with the tele-
scope, but with the microscope. The
star had been photographed on eight
plates taken between March and
April 30, 1898. Within that time it
faded from the fifth to the eighth mag
nitude, and Professor Pickering reports
that photograph made on March 9,
this year, shows that the star is yet
visible, having fallen to the tenth
magnitude. OF six new stars which
have appeared since 1885, Mrs. Elem
ing has discovered five by means of
photographs.

In the mountainous region about
Los Angeles and Pasadena, in South
ern California, the lot of the wheel
men is not an altogether happy one,
for cycle paths are unknown there and
beyond city limits the way for riders
is SO rough and rolling that the pleas
ures of cycling scarcely compensate
for the pains. A change is about to
come over the face of these cond1-
lions, however, by the construction OF
the most novel and elaborate wheel
way in this country and probably the
world. An elevated cycle path OF
framework nine miles long has been
designed to connect the two places.
The path will be supported by two pill
lars of different heights, to equalize
the grade, and the floor will be OF
boards. The width will be about 10
feet, and each side will be inclosed by
lattice work rising to height of about
four feet. The path will be lighted
by double row of lights, placed so
high as to alternate, and half way be-

Remarka BILE Lakes.

On the Mangishlak peninsula, in the
Caspian sea, there are five small lakes
One of them is covered with salt crys-
tails, strong enough to allow man and
beast to cross the lake on foot; an
other is round as any circle, and a
lovely rose color. Its banks of salt
crystal form setting, white as the
driven snow, to the water, which not
only shows all the colors from violet
to rosy red, but from which rises per-
fume of violets. Both the perfume
and the color are the result of the
presence of SeaweedS.

Ffreproofng Wood.


Among the many valuable lessons
taught by the recent war between
Spain and the United States is the i'm
portant one that ship of war should
have as little wood in its construction
as possible, and that what there Is
should be freproof. DR.. Hexamer re-
Gently read before the Franklin 1nst1-
tute a paper dealing with this subject,
and showing how, by a comparatively
cheap and easy process, woodwork may
be rendered absolutely incombustible.
1t may be noted that the inventor OF
the system does not seek to make
money out Of it, but gives 1t to the
American nation with a view to do his
country a service. Before commencing
his experiment, DR.. Hexamer laid down
certain conditions, which he considered
imperative. the chief of which was that
to prove effective against fire the wood
must be treated, not on the surface on
1y, but through it's entire mass. After
trying various substances with which
to impregnate the wood, he finally
chose water glass, treating 1t at later
stage with ammonium chloride, in Or
der to render it insoluble. The wood
work is first Of all heated in an iron
container to expel all moisture, after
which the water glass is admitted I'M
der pressure, and is forced into the
inner recesses of the wood. Ammon-
ium chloride is then admitted to the
container, under the same conditions,
and the wood is finally washed in run
ming water, and slowly dried.

Cobre Grande Litigation.

j. Henry Wood, secretary and
treasurer of the Cobre Grande Copper
company returned to Nogales Thurs
day, with Judge Baker of Phoenix,
attorney for the company. Judge
Street OF the third district court last
Saturday granted an injunction
against Messrs Green, Mitchell and
others restraining them from exercis-
ing until further orders of the court
any of the functions as officers OF the
company and from interfering with
the property. The other side took a
turn when Sheriff White of Cochise
county arrested Mr.. Wood in Phoenix
last Monday and cook him to Lisbee
on charge of a larceny of the books
of the company, valued at $4,000.
This case was continued until the
18th in bonds of $500.
The option held by j. II, Costello
for the control of the Cobre Grande
stock expires tomorrow. Mr.. Wood
was asked last night if the option will
oe protected. He said he could not
answer; that this phase of the case
is handled from the New Yo K end.
Ii was his opinion, however, that the
contention over the properly if not
settled mutually must be adjudicated
IN Mexican courts higher than that at
Arizpe. Dir. Wood departed for the
mines last night.
