EGRETS NOT SLAUGHTERED.
Reported Massacre of Birds in South
America Denied.

People are not always quite as cruel
as they are reported.
An immense amount of testimony
has been published concerning the
cruel and wholesale slaughter of egrets
in South America and elsewhere TO
furnish plumes for ladies' headdress.
Now a correspondent, who has just re-
turned to England from the upper ORR
noco, writes to London to say that such
slaughter does not occur and is not pos
sible. The correspondent says: In
the first place, the birds are gifted with
long necks, and it is extremely diff
cult to approach a bird in the daytime,
even by fraud. 1t has become an in
stinct to beware of man. In Nicaragua
the only time could by chance manage
to shoot bird was to sit under a roost-
ing tree and pop them off as they ar
rived. This only for about ten min
utes; the birds would never roost in
the same tree again. My object in
pointing out this is to show that by
means of powder and shot no one could
make it pay" The writer then goes
on to say that by far the greatest
quantity of egret plumes do not come
from shot birds, as l found out on the
Orinoco, but hunters without powder
and shot go round during the right sea-
son to the breeding and roosting
ground and collect off the ground
plumes which are cast by the males
every year. The only thing necessary
is to pick them off the ground as soon
as possible. / learned from an au-
thentic hunter that as many as forty
pounds were thus collected from one
spot. Again, in Venezuela many peo-
pie are beginning to farm the birds.
1t is marvellous how easy they are 40
mesticated. In Nicaragua very few
houses are without one or two, nd
this on the banks of their native lake
where they go down to battle. They
never leave a yard when once accus-
toned to it, and are very useful for
killing all sorts of vermin, rats, etc.
On my homeward trip down the ORR
noco, I was fortunate enough to meet
two hunters (both Frenchmen) who
had been some time up country collect
ing feathers. They each had, I should
imagine, 100 pounds, and this without
killing one single bird"

ARTIFICIAL SILK.

The production of artificial silk has
for some time past attracted the atten-
ton of experimenters in France, and it
has been used with success to replace
natural silk in certain fabrics. The
Duke du Chardonnet, who claims to be
the first to have success fully carried
out the process, exhibited some fine
specimens of artificial silk at the Paris
exposition of 1889. Since then he has
perfected his system, and at the pres
ent time a factory of considerable i'm
portance is in operation at Besancon,
under the direction of NJ. Tricano
This factory is now capable of produc-
ing $50 Kilograms OF artificial silk
day
Natural silk is largely made up of a
body called "fibroin," together with
other substances, such as gelatin, al
bumen, wax, coloring matter, fatty and
resinous matter. ETC., the cellulose OF
the mulberry leaf being thus trans
formed by the silkworm. The nature
of these transformations is of course
unknown, and in order to produce
substance resembling silk, a method is
adopted by which the celluloSe fur
nished by cotton is used as base. The
cotton, having been transformed into
nitro-cellulose, or guncotton, by treat
ing II with nitric and sulphuric acids.
this latter is dissolved in mixture of
ether Cd alcohol. and the resulting
collodioS is filtered under pressure.
In order to be successfully used for
the production OF artificial silk. il is
. found that the collodion must be al
lowed to age for a certain period Of
time, the reason of which has not been
definitely settled; however it is GER
tain that the collodion. on being al

That's funny. 1 thought he had bet

Mrs. Treat turned and went inside
the house, her pretty face showing
mark of vexation over the failure of
her husbands partner to live up to her
idea of him.
In the meantime Sarah Hunt walked
along serenely, unconscious of her
friends matchmaking designs. The
weather was clear, crisp, and beauti-
full, and she felt as happy as lass
with a good conscience and easy shoes
can feel out for walk on a breezy
morning. Suddenly she stopped stock
still and listened. A faint hello
came from somewhere on her right.
Help" 1t came more distinctly,
and she called in reply:
What is the matter? as she ran
toward the sound.
A disused shaft yaWned up at her,
and it seemed to the man lying with a
broken leg in the half-frozen water at
it's depth that the face bending over
the edge so anxiously was lovelier
than he had ever seen before.
Il have been here all night" he said,
with new courage, land if" but she
was gone, and he wondered miserably
if she had not been but a creature OF
his dreams after all. But in a few
minutes she returned with a coil OF
rope from the dilapidated shaft-house
near by, and, tying one end to a tree,
passed the other down to him.
An hour later Harry Treat and his
wife came up to them. The long alb
sence of their guest had alarmed them
and sent them out to look for her.
They found her kneeling on the
ground trying to revive an unconscious
man.
viii Christopher! they exclaimed
together, and as he opened his eyes
Mrs. Treat exclaimed
so that is where you were!"
A week ago the young couple who
had met under such romantic circum-
stances were married and Mrs. Treat
said, as she kissed the bride:
1T has all happened just as in
tended it should" But she did not
mean the rescue from the mine at all.
Fate claimed all the honor for that.

lowed to stand, undergoes certain mod
ifications by which it is better fitted
for the purpose. 1t is then run into
cylinders, which have capillary holes
in the bottom, and the collodion is
forced out of those holes under a
pressure of 40 to so atmospheres. 1t
comes out in the form of white,
cylindrical filaments; these are united
to form threads, which are put up in
skeins, and all traces of alcohol or
water which they may contain are re-
moved. In this state, however, the
threads are extremely infammable,
partaking of the nature of gun cotton,
and to remove this difficulty they must
be "de-nitrated" that is to say, the
cellulose must be brought back into it's
normal condition. This part of the
process, which is indeed an essential
one involves considerable difficulty
and has been experimental upon for
some time by M. Du Chardonnet and
others. However, a process has at
last been arrived at which accom-
plishes this in satisfactory manner.
The details of this process have not rs
yet been made public; but it is certain
that by this operation white, silky
threads are produced, which are not
appreciably more infammable than
natural silk. The skeins which have
been made up of these threads are then
dyed by immersing them in heated
bath of basic aniline color
