ARTIFICIAL SILK.
Discovered Again, and This Time
Cheaper Than the Real Thing.

To prepare by artificial means a substi-
tute for the silk fiber which should pos
sess the strength and beautiful luster
charaCterizing the natural product of the
silkworm has long been the aim of a
great number Of technical chemists I'm
til quite recently. however, the competi-
ton with nature could hardly be looked
upon as successful There has just been
brought to success in Glasgow however
a process by which the properties of nat
ural silk which are of practical value can
be reproduced in g fiber costing but little
to manufacture.
The inventor states that the artificial
product, known as "Vanduara silk" can
be manufactured as a cost of only S. Cd
per pound. When 1t is remembered that
the better qualities of natural silk sell at
from 15s to 19s per pound, it is at once
siderable margin for profit.
The fiber is prepared by ejecting fine
threads of strong solution of gelatine
from very small orfices on to an endless
which they are reeied After leaving the
small orifices, the gelatine solidifies in q
continuous fiber, thousandth of an inch
in diameter, possessing a luster even
greater than that of natural silk.
The fiber in this state. however, is I'M
suitable for use, as 1t is easily spoiled
by water. In order to render it imper-
vious, it is water PROCEED by a special
process, which does not interfere In the
least with the silky appearance of the
fiber. In its final state 'Vanduara silk
can be dyed any color. and takes the
dye much more brilliantly than ordinary
silk.
In one point only is the artificial fiber
inferior to the genuine article-viZ., it's
strength But although "Vanduara silk
does not wear SO well as pure silk, it is
most silks the market, which as a
rule have been deteriorated by adulter-

@S Broadway. June a.
Lars Nielsen, or Hansen was so anx-
ious to die last night that he sought
death in three different ways at the same
time
Early this morning Willie Smith, q
schoolboy, was walking along the east
erly shore of Lake Merritt when ne saw
a man hanging from a tree at the edge
OF the lake. From the mans neck blood
was flowing. The boy at once hurried
from the CHASTITY scene and told Or.
Chamberlain, who was walking near the
lake. The doctor went 10 the place and
cut the body down. and seeing at once
that life was extinct. he communicated
with the Coroner.
whether the suicide had died from throat
cutting or hanging. Nielsen or Hansen
had made very determined preparations
10 die. He had cut his throat, only lust
missing the jugular, and had placed the
bloody razor in his coat pocket. He had
then procured rope that had been Used
10 tether cow and had turned thH ami
NAL loose so that he might oh, he
means to end his life. He then , hDed
on the branch Of a tree at the water s
edge, fastened one end Of the cows rope
around the branch and the other around
his gaping. bleeding throat. He then
rolled off and was strangled. Had the
rope broken he would have fallen into
the lake and what the razor and the
rope could not accomplish the green
waters Of Lake Merritt would have done
quickly.
Some people who had known Nielsen or
Hansen stated that he was an Industrious
man. who worked as coachman and
saved his money. Some time ago he spec
ulated in stocks and It is supposed he lost
his savings and became Respondent.
Nearly $40 in coin was in his pockets.
An inquest was held tonight and it vas
testified by the autopsy physician hat
death was caused by stranguation. Tha
deceased was Dane, IS years old.
