ARTIFICIAL SILK.
Development of the Industry Nov
 Going nn Inv raans

Development of the Industry Row
 Going On by Leaps.
 The silk worm, with it's comparative. ly small output, has now rival in artificial silk" and it was to explain the processes by which this is produced that Joseph Cash, chairman of fac. tory at Wolston, near Coventry, read a paper at the Society of Arts, says the London Mail. Sir T. Wardle presided. Many attempts have been made, said MT. Cash, to produce material resem- bling silk, but only recently have they resulted in commercially successful fabric. The earliest imitation was spun glass, which in it's f1exibility and brilliancy is excellent for millinery or dress ties, but it's limitations are soon reached, for it can only be spun cer- tain lengths, and it possesses little or ao warmth. Polished" cotton, stmer- cerized" cotton and Pandura silk" made of gelatin thread, have struggled for recognition in the market. but con- plete victory seems to be reserved to what is known as collodion silk" pro- NueSo py 1He 1HdIu IuoiHe uleLn0d, Wnleh is elaborate. Enormous sums of money it appears had been lost ere the pres- ent success was attained two years ago. But now the development of the H. dustry is going on by leaps and bounds ir Besancon, in France and in Switzer- land. The material has an even great CT brilliancy than silk. but the warmth is not so great. It is more durable, however, than the natural silk az known to the ordinary customer.

A Cats Long Jump.

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch: How far can cat jump without hurting itself was partially exemplified in Brooklyn. A pretty white cat ran up 8 tree to get away from dog, and at last craw1ed out on 3 small branch at least sixty feet above tho ground. The branch was not much aaore than q twig. and the cat could
 tRra around. She sat up there on

FOURTH IN POPULATION
Tids Is the Standing of the United
 States Among the Nations.

There were 62, ,622 ,250 inhabitants in the United States ten years ago, ac- eording to the last census. Secretary Cages actuary of the treasury, who is a close guesser in matters of popula- tion, computes the present population between Maine and California, Alaska, and Key West, at 76,148,0 900. To this must be added the peoples brought un- der the stars and stripes by the war with Spain and by the annexation of Hawaii, to say nothing of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Guam. If the Filipinos can De induced to stand still long enough to be counted they may possibly yield a million or two more, but unless the actuary has made a mistake in addi- ton there Will yet remain a wide gap between the actual and the magnificent round number. For a decade or two longer, therefore, the United States must be content to remain in the fourth place in point of population among the nations of the earth. China despite the eneroaehments upon her territory, still holds the lead, with 402, 680, GOO men, women. and ehil- dren within her borders; the British empire comes next. with 381, ,03T, ,S74 subjects, including the dusky fanatics of the Soudan; and the Russian em- pire is third, 129,211,11 persons owing allegiance to the ezar. No other na- ton, however, can show such rapid increase as that Of the United States George Washington was president of a nation numbering fewer than 3.000,- 900 individuals. It took 20 years for the population to double. In 1810 1t was 7.239, ,881, in 1920 it had reached only 9,633,8 822, and 10 years later the total F, ,S66, 020. From this time on it advanced by leaps and bounds In 1840 it was 17,009. .453, in 1850 it was 23.191 ,876, in 1860 it had reached 31,- 443.321. and 30 years ago the census showed a population of 38,558,371. It did not pass the 50,000,000 mark until 1880, when it was 50,155. .783, and the last enumeration. 1890, gave a total of S2, 2,622, ,250-Pittsburg Dispatch.
