Wood Cotton.

WASHINGTON, June IL. = Consul
Mahin, Of Reichenberg. Austria, un-
der date Of April 2lst, quotes an ac-
count in local newspaper of process
for making artificial cotton from the
wood of fir trees. 1t appears that the
wood is reduced to thin shavings,
which are placed in washing appara-
tus exposed TO the influence Of steam
for ten hours. They are then subject
ed to strong preparation Of sodium
lye and are heated under great pres
sure for thirty-s;x hours. The wood
is now changed to pure cellulose, and
to give this grerter resisting power
some castor oil, caffeine and gelatine
are added. The substance is then put
into an apparatus and made into
threads, which are reeled.
The article concludes: Artificial
cotton can be produced SO cheaply
that the genuine article can hardly
compete with it and one cannot say
that is sham, for it is composed, ex-
actly as the natural cotton, Of pure
ccllulose.'
Mr.. Mahin adds: "In country
such as this, where forests Of fir trees
abound and are made perennial con-
stant replanting as the large trees are
cut down aud where all the cotton
used in the numerous factories must
be brought from far India and the
United States, such device should
be profitable.''

For a Hardy Orange.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Thc agri-
cultural department, which has been
experimenting to produce sweet or
ange that will stand the frosts that
have repeatedly swept the orange belt
in Florida, has progressed to the point
Of budding the oranges SO secured on
growing trees in Florida. DR.. Webber
of the division Of vegetable pathology
has just gone to Florida, taking with
him the regular number of the new
plants. The hardy orange evolved by
the department is at present termed
the "Trifol;a:a orange" 1t has been
produced by breeding the pollen Of the
sweet orange ;nto the buds Of the
Japanese trifoliata, and vice versa.
The tfifoliata grows as far north as
Philadelphia, but bears no fruit worth
mentioning, though it is vegetable
cousin of the sweet orange. Seed
lings from the hybrids 80 far produced
promise to give IN exceedingly hardy
and valuable fruit producing tree. DR..
Wcbber's mission in Florida is to bud
quantity of these seedlings on live
orange trees. This, it is hoped, will
give definite results several years soon
or than if the department waited fer
the hybrid seedlings to mature and
bear.
The departments experiment will
be assisted by number Of Florida
growers and the work will be extend.
cd north in time as far as Washington.
Precautions are being taken to keep
the new hybrids thoroughly in control
Of the department to prevent worth
less or inferior varieties being put on
the market. When the work has pro-
grcssed sufficiently the new varieties
will be distributed through the regular
channels.

many more thousands have read his
sermons as regularly as the Monday
paper came.
DR.. Hills has been called "the poet
preacher of the century end" He is
about 40 years old. He was born in
Iowa, u comes of Puritan stock. His
father was a deacon in the church of
Lyman Beecher, and when that great
leader left Presbyterianism he left 1t
too. The elder Hills was one of the
Yale band which went from Ohio to
Iowa. There he prospered until middle
life, when a fire left him almost penni-
less. So Newell Hills began life as. a
poor boy. He was brought up on the
doctrines Of Henry Ward Beecher,
though, for out on the prairies the
printed sermons of the great Plymouth
divine were read every week.
When DIR. Hills vas 10, he was ap-
pointed Sunday school missionary. He
was so successful that the Congrega-
tional society sent him to Lake Forest
college and Mccormick seminary, where
he studied for three years.
Tor three years after leaving his the
illogical studies he was pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Peoria,
Ills. Within hat time he built a new
church It a cost of $50, 1000. From 1890
to 1894 he preached from the pulpit of
the First church in Evanston, where he
likewise upreared a new church build
ing. In December, 1894, he succeeded
Professor Swing al Central church. The
new pastor of Plymouth will preach in
Brooklyn the same creed he has preach
ed in Chicago. 1t is the creed of broad
est Christianity and humanity. DR.. Hill
lis, like his predecessors of Plymouth
and Central churches, is a writer. The
four books he has published are widely
read. They are "Foretokens Of Immor-
tality," How the Inner Light Failed"

THE TRAGEDY OF AN EMPIRE.
Tbs True Story of the Downfall and
Death of Prince Rudolph of Austria

Edward A Steiner contributes to the
December "Woman's Home Companion"
this interesting fragment of Austrian his
tory which is a prohibited topic in that
country.
"The carnival was at its height in gay
Vienna. The noisy masqueraders were re-
turning from the revelries, and were
making the old city ring with shouts and
laughter. The sun was struggling through
the mists of the January morning, but
almost before it had risen high enough to
touch the golden cross of ST. Stephan's
Cathedral all Vienna knew that there
would be no more dancing during that
carnival. The word had gone round that
the Crown Prince was dead; murdered,
some declared-fallen in a duel, others
conjiectured-accidentally killed, said the
papers.
six years prior to this unhappy night
Crown Prince Rudolph was forced by the
circumstance of his station to marry
Stephanie, the daughter of the King of
Belgium, whom he did not love, while his
heart was given to the Baroness Vetsera,
the most beautiful woman in Vienna.
What her character was l do not pretend
to know, but the favor of a Crown Prince
is enough to turn the head of almost any
Austrian woman, particularly if she has
been reared in Vienna, under the democrat
izing influence of its court. His disap-
pointment drove him to dissipation; the
Crown Princess wept and seoided; the city
was s~candalized, and the Emperor had to
seek a way out of the difficulty. Count
Hoyos. an officer in the Austrian army,
and one of the numerous admirers of the
young Baroness, was promised promotion
in the army and the assistance of the
Emperor if he would gain her consent to
marry him. This the Count succeeded in
doing. Then came the end. The Count
and his fancee were invited to spend the
evening of January 80, 1889, with the
Crown Prince, in his hunting lodge at
Meyei.iug. Wine flowed freely, and the
hou,s sere full of mirth. But suddenly,
without warning, Rudolph drew a revolt
yer. shot the Count, then the Baroness,
and atlast drove a bullet through his own
heart,

So numerous are the queer beliefs con-
corning the number seven that a MARIA
ton of them all would fill a volume, but
we may mention a few of them. From
the very earliest ages the seven great
planets were known and ruled this world
and the dwellers in it, and their number
entered into every conceivable matter that
concerned man. There are seven days in
the week, seven holes in the head for
the master stars are seven" seven ages
both for man and the world in which he
lives. There were seven material heav-
ems, and in the underworld described by
Dante the great pagan dead who were
not good enough for heaven or bad
enough for hell reposed in a seven-wall-
led and s~even-gated city. There are seven
colors in the spectrum and seven notes
in the diatonic octave, and the leading
note of the scale IS the seventh Be it
noted that the seventh son is not al
ways gifted with beneficent powers. In

the powers Of darkness and to be COM

PALACE OF CORN.
How the Maize Propaganda will BE

One Of the most unique and striking
features of the American exhibit at the
Paris exposition of 1900 will be the corn
palace, which it is proposed to build.
This will have for a tower a gigantic
of corn, and the architecture gen
orally will suggest the great American
product.
The purpose Of this elaborate corn
exhibit will be to introduce corn 10
Europeans in a manne which they will
not easily forget. Few of the peoples
of the continent know anything about
the food possibilities of Indian corn.
They need educating. For several years
the American maize propaganda has
been represented in Europe by corn
meal missionaries, who have tried to
demonstrate the virtues and economy
of corr as a food, but this will be a
climax to their efforts.
The plan, so far as developed, is to
have every useful article manufactured

what the Naval PERSONNEL BIIu means

The work of the Department in detail
ing officers for duty will be vastly simpler
under the new scheme than it has been in
the past, because every officer of the new
line will be capable of performing any of
the duties which will involve the man
agement of large bodies of men, or the
control of machinery. The personnel thus
becomes very much more elastic, and the
task of selecting officers for any duty is
made very much simpler. 1t also means,
for the department, an end of an enor-
nous amount of petty pickering, which
was inevitable under the present system,
but which has been a cause of much Bit
terness, and destructive of that unity of
feeling which should exist among all
officers. The mere agreement upon this
bill of the officers concerned has already
been productive of the very best results
in increased good feeling. and, in fact,
I am informed that on a number of ships
it has already been partially put into
effect, for officers have volunteered for
sduty foreign to their regular work, and
have performed it with excellent results.
1t need hardly be said that if the mere
agreement upon the proposition is pro-
ductive of so much good. the actual work
ing of the scheme will give still better re-
suits. Personally, | believe thar it will
give us a nav whose efficiency will be
far ahead of that of any other country,
and j know that this opinion is shared by
the very great majority of our naval
officers.-s'North American Review" for
December.
