ARTIFICIAL COTTON.
~ Is Made AT small Cost In Austria
from the wood Of the
Fir Tree.

Consul Mahin, Of Reichenberg. in d
report to the state department under
date Of April p, 1899, quotes an account
in local newspaper Of a process for
making artificial cotton from the wood
Of the fir tree.
1t appears that the wood is reduced
to thin shaNings, which are placed Ia
"a washing apparatus, exposed to the
influence Of steam for ten hours. The,
are then subjected TO a strong prepare
ton Of sodium lyc and are heated IN
der great pressure Tor 50 hours. The
wood is now changed to pure cellulose,
and to give this a greater resisting DOW
er some castor oil, caffeine and CELIA
tine are added. The substance is then
put into an apparatus and made into
threads, which are reeled.
The article concludes: Artificial cot
ton can be produced so cheaply that the
genuine article can hardly compete
with it, and one cannot say that il is
sham, for il is composed, exactly as
the natural cotton, Of pure cellulose."
Mr.. Mahin adds: an country such
as this, where forests Of fir trees bound
and are made perennial by constant re
planting as the large trees are utdown,
and where all the cotton used in the nu-
merous factories must be brought from
FAR India and the United States, such
device should be profitable."-N. Y.

PORTO RICO FORESTS,
Government Deals with the
Timber of the New Island
Possession.

The national department of agricul-
ture has issued Notes on the Forest
Conditions of Porto Rico by Robert
I. Hill, of the geological survey. Mr..
Hill, who made his observations in Jan
uary last, says that the island was orig
inally covered with forests from IT,
sea level to the mountain SUBMITS,
though many Of them have disappeared,
owing to 300 years of exhaustive Guilt
Tation Of heavy plantation crops. He
is Of the opinion that in ten years the
cleared slopes of the barren mountain
sides can be covered with productive
trees.
These forests now contain 30 yarie-
ties Of trees used for timber and fuel

BURST MAYFLowER BUBBLE.
Prof. Anteek's Learni"S FS"~
Hob with Mrs. Jones'
Rare Relies.

Mrs. Jones is a Colonial Dame. Mrs
Smith is a Daughter of the Revolution
! of course Mrs. Jones is obliged to look
! down inst a little on Mrs. Smith. Mrs
| Smith has therefore an abiding atfec-
| ton for Mrs. Jones, naturally.
Now. Mrs. Jones has a number OF
things that came over in the Mayfiower,
as all well7regulated Colonial Danes
should. Naturally they are dear to her
soul. TO hear her tell about them is a
ioy; to see her show them to an APP
preciative visitor is a thing to be re-
membered.
Mrs. Smith ran across dried-up little
antiquarian the other day-Prof. An
teek. of Edinburgh, Il. A, s., f. A. S. E.,
F. A. S. L., r. P. s., f. Il. II. s., f. S. A.,
f. S. A. E., F. 4. S. Scot, etc. He was
travelling incog, so to speak, but, after
a little conversation with him in which
the subject of Mayfiower relies was
preached, Mrs. Smith insisted on TAX
ing the little man TO an afternoon tea
at Mrs. Jones' II was not long before
the artful Mrs. Smith had Mrs. Jones
showing her precious relies TO the pro-
fessor and her guests. The antiquariat
cast one look at Mrs. Jones treasures.
Then he cleared his throat and began:
This silver wine cup may be gen
uine; there is nothing TO show that it
is not | should say that these pewter
dishes were beyond suspicion. These
spoons are all right, doubtless. But
this silver coffee urn is of later date.
So is this teapot, So are these china
cups. So are these knives and forks.
None of them ever came over in the
Mayfower."
How can you be so sure, professor
said Mrs. Jones, crimson with indigua-
ton and modification. "All of them
have come straight down from that
Patience Brewster who married
Thomas Prence."
That may be, madame, but the hypo-
thetical teapots and coffee urns and
china cups that are supposed to have
come, over in the Mayfiower are all de
lusions. Tea and coffee were never
heard of in England till about 1866.
For many years after that tea was sold
in England for from $40 to SIS a pound
-Pepys in 1871 speaks of 1t as a strange
and barbaric beverage just introduced
1t is therefore improbable that either
tea or teapot or teacups reached Amer
lea until long after Mary Allerton, the
last survivor of the Mayfower, was laid

Each man carried a clasp knife, or
