ARTIFICIAL COTTON.
from the Wood Of the
Fir Tree.

Consul Mahin, of Reichenberg, in q
report to the state department under
date Of April 81, 1899, quotes an account
in q local newspaper Of process for
making artificial cotton from the wood
of the fir tree.
1t appears that the wood is reduced.
to thin shavings, which are placed IA
washing apparatus, exposed 70 the
influence Of steam for ten hours. They
are then subjected to a strong prepara-'
ton of sodium lye and are heated gla~
der great pressure for SO hours. The
wood is now changed to pure cellulcee,
and to give this greater resisting pow
er some castor oil, caffeine and gelA4|
tine are added. The substance n then
put into an apparatus and made into
threads, which arc reeled.
The article concludes: Artificial cot
ton can be produced so cheaply that TIE
genuine article can hardly compete
with it, and one cannot say that il r.
sham, for it is composed, exactly -
the natural cotton, Of pure cellulpse-
Mr.. Mahin adds: I'm q country such
us this, where forests Of fir trees abound
and are made perennial BY constant -.
planting as the large trees are cut down,
and where all the cotton used In the M.
merous factories must be brought from
far India and the United States, sucht
device should be profitable. n. &.

sor, atmospheric air would be heated to
possibly $50 degrees Fahrenheit, thus
injuring the machinery.
Each of the cylinders in the four
stage compressor is provided with
cooler SO that the air enters the stor-
age tanks at very nearly ordinary tenn
perature. The compressed air is gen.
orally put in these tanks for storage
at higher pressure than that at which
it is used, or about 2,500 pounds to the
square inch. But the immense steel
bottles which are at once placed under
the cars are charged at the station at
about 1000 pounds to the inch. To in
sure safety these bottles are tested up
to 1000 pounds per square inch, al
though only required for service at
about one-half that amount of pressure.
About 600 of these bottles will be used
at the new power station. They are
connected with each other and with
the charging tube for the cars by valves
and pipes.
The horseless carriage seems to be at
tracing more attention than any other
recent invention, and the possibilities
of the automobile seem to be beyond
calculation at this stage of its manu-
facture. In spite of the opposition
with which it is, in many instances,
greeted, the undoubted advantages ii
offers over vehicle drawn by horses
are so apparent that it is bound to oc-
cupy prominent place among the
great inventions of the century now
closing.
This is especially true in large
cities, where horses require nearly as
much space in the crowded streets as
the wagons and carriages to which
they are attached. One of the great
drawbacks to increase OF automobile 10
comotion is the cost Of the vehicles
which places them quite beyond ths
reach of the majority Of those who are
now employing horses. Not only must
the animal be disposed of on an over
crowded market, but all the carriages
large and small, which the owners pos
sess, for the automobile replaces both
This latter difficulty, however, may nov

be overcome. For some time inventors
have been endeavoring with varying
success to construct motor which may
be attached to the vehicles now in use.
All those which have to be "hitched" to
q carriage and operated as horse are
cumbrous and possess one of the great
disadvantages of the latter-occupying
too much space.
But recently a French firm, Messrs.
Arniot & .Peneau, seems to have met
all difficulties and is placing upon the
market motor attached to pair Of
front wheels which may be substituted
for the ordinary front wheels of a car
riage. The wheels serve at the same
time as both steerers and drivers, any
variation of their position controlling
the direction of the carriage without in-
dependent movement of the naphtha
motor with two vertical cylinders which
propels the conveyance.
There is flexible axle which serves
as prolongation Of the motor axle on
each side. The different mechanisms to
effect change of speed are carried on
the front axle. The naphtha and wa
ter reservoirs are suspended behind and
the motor further forward. A strong
metallic band fixed to sleeve fitted to
the rear axle connects this axle with the
motor, as the weight of the latter would
cause too great a strain upon an or.
dinary carriage. A solid whole is thus
formed of the front and rear wheels SO
that the motor moves the carriage by
both pairs of wheels. Any wagon OF
carriage can in Is minutes be changed
from its ordinary form to an auto
mobile and vice versa, the only ex'
pense being for the motor and one pail
of wheels, which may be used alternate.
| ly on whole series of different ve-
hicles, as may be done with horse.
The case containing the motor il
| decorative, and when electricity is pre-
ferred to naphtha as motive power
| will contain storage batteries.
The invention has passed the expert
| mental stage and has been operated
| with great success. 1t is likely to b.
of great practical service and will mee1
a popular demand.

Portable Bridge for Army Purposes
Largest Air Compressor Ever

Vehicle Motors.
Especial Correspondence


The "signs of the times" indicate
that the new portable bridge recently
invented by Lieut.. Col. Paul Pfund,
of the French engineer corps, will in
terest all those concerned with mil
itary matters. The increase in the
size of armies makes it imperative
that means be provided for crossing
rivers at several points at the same
time. The most reliable temporary
bridges have been found to be those
supported on horses. These horses
have had to be built to measure, as q
stream varies so much in depth at diff
ferent points and the surface of q
bridge must be as nearly horizontal as
possible. Even after large amount of
time has been spent in manufacturing
them, these supports are often difficult
to plant in line. In Col. Pfund's bridge
the horses are made of jointed pieces,
extremely light, which can be short
ened or heightened and planted at any
required angle. a pair of steel tubes
compose each of these parts and are
fitted to pivot which they slide past
lengthwise.
Four tubes form horse whose shape
can be adapted to any change of level,
each of its four feet always being fixed
in the river-bed. In beginning bridge,
plank is laid from one X-shaped piece
to another placed opposite. Between
the first pair and the next are auxiliary
supports. The pivot connecting the
two steel supports serves as an axle
enabling them to act like wheel on
which the free end of the bridge rolls

out in process of erection. The "wheeF'
always rests on the river bottom, while
the axle is always at nearly the same
level, because the spokes slide length
wise.
When a section of bridge is COM
pleted, workmen standing on the fixed
part push along a new section to
considerable distance, while others on
the free end lower support on each
slide until it touches bottom and thus
holds up the end. Sections are contin-
uously and rapidly pushed out while
the supports turning on their axles
with their points resting on the bottom
act like wheels, and when the outer end
decidedly droops the workmen stand
ing upon it drop the other arm of the
Ks. This touching bottom shares the
weight with the first pair. When
whole section is in place, auxiliary sup
ports fix it firmly in position. The ends
of the supports are pointed for hard
bottoms and fiat for mud.
A Pfund bridge, four feet wide and
% feet long, weighs 1,122 pounds.
Where timber abounds all that need be
transported are the jointed supports.
Twelve men in 35 minutes erected q
Pfund bridge 90 feet long over river
11H feet deep.
Compressed air has already SO well
established its reputation as motive
power that it only remains necessary
to find new purposes for which to use
it. For number of years more or less
satisfactory attempts have been made
to utilize it for operating public con-
veyances of different kinds, but only
recently with success. In New York
city a new plant, said to be the largest
of its kind in the world, has just been
installed at West Twenty-fourth street
and the North river TO furnish COM
pressed air for running some of the
cross-town cars. 1t is the first ever
made in which there is combination
of a compressor developing 2 $500 pounds
to the square inch with an engine of
1000 horse power.
The compressor, which is a counter
part of steam engine, at the first
stage of its work, brings the pressure
up to 40 pounds, at the second to $50, at
the third to $50 and at the fourth to
$500. 1t has four cylinders. The largest
has q diameter of 46 inches and carries
on the first part of its work. The next
has q diameter Of "a inches, the third Of
IA and the fourth Of six inches. The
pistons in all Of these cylinders have
