of superheated steam In large steel vacuum
chambers in the central compartment OF
the boat. A hatchway in the deck opens
into this disinfecting room. and any OBJ
jects like bedding which it is desirable TO
treat in the retort with the bundles of
clothing are pitched down from above. An
iron cradle is drawn out Of the steam
chamber, which is loaded with the objects
infected.
When this is showed back into place and
the opening made fast the steam is turned
on, subiecting the articles to a heat of 240
degrees Fahrenheit All articles of cloth
ing which might be damaged or destroyed
by the action of steam are disinfected with
formaldehyde gas, which is sure death to
all germs and does not iniuriously affect
fabrics.
Passing from the bathrooms the passen-
gers receive their clothing and are trans
ferred to Hoffman Island, where they are
detained during the period of incubation
of the disease germs, which is usually from
six to eight days.
The dsinfecton of the passengers and
crew having been accomplished, the at
tention of the officials of the Wadsworth is
turned to the sterilizing of staterooms,
hold, and cargo. All bedding from the
staterooms and crews quarters all the ta-
bic linen, carpets, rugs, and hangings are
treated with superheated steam in the va
cuum sterilizing. A portable formaldehyde
gas generator is then carried on board and
the staterooms and saloons are filled with
this gas, the most powerful disinfectant
known.
The hatchways to the ships hold are
carefully battened down and live steam,
formaldehyde gas and sulphur dioxide gas
are blown in in sufficient volume and
strength to search out every erevice and
Granny of the woodwork. After a period OF
six or eight hours the ship is completely
opened up to allow the noxious fumes TO
escape.
All the decks and woodwork are washed
down with a solution of bichloride of mer-
curry. This work is done with scientific
thoroughness by body of trained experts.
AS further precaution, after the foregoing
process of disinfection has been completed
samples of all materials from the disin-
fected ship which might possibly carry
contagion are carefully examined In the
archaeological laboratory of the station,
and if the slightest evidence of germ life
is detected the entire operation of disin-
fecting the ship is repeated.

BY A SECRET PROCESS.
4 New Wool Now Being Produced in
Germany.

eeF"ahN
George Sawter, United States Consul sta
toned at Glauchau Germany, has written
the State Department regarding the pro-
duction of glovers' wool as follows:
THE German Credit Institute of Saxony
has formed a joint stock company having
for its object the production of skin wool,
which has hitherto been produced almost
exclusively in the south of France and
northern Italy. Glovers' wool has been
produced here only in limited quantities.
The textile industries were compelled to
cover their requirements in this line from
abroad--that is, from France and Italy.
This term does not refer TO a new sort
Of wool but applies TO the raw products of
animal woods hitherto known as Rauf-
wolfe iscraped wool or 'Geberwolle'
tgloyers' wool. Under wool is collec-
lively understood the hairy covering of the
various breeds Of sheep, from which such
wool is shorn during life But, as one
can hardly shear them down to absolute
nakedness. a certain amount of wool. or
hair. is left as a covering after shearing.
The product so obtained is known as
'glovers' wool
Now. the wool Of slaughtered animals is
mostly of inferior quality, and, moreover.
materially shorter than that obtained by
shearng the living animals, for which rea-
son the former is used for making up in
ferior textiles. such as low-class fannels.
etc. Skin wool is wool which is scraped
of Of the skins Of dead sheep. The wool
obtained in this manner is, as a rule lon
ger stouter, more healthy, and uniform
than that obtained by shearing. because
sheepskins are mostly obtained from ami
mails slaughtered for food. which must
necessarily be sound, large, and healthy,
whereas shorn wool is obtained, as well.
from sickly. decrepit animals-such rs are
found in every flock. Skin wool is. conse-
Quently, likely to be more uniform in re-
spect 10 fineness of quality, because, in
scraping the wool off the skin, the coarser
portions which grow on certain parts of
the body can be sorted more carefully than
is the case with shorn fleece.
skin wool and glovers' wool are thor
oughly different in character. The latter
is principally removed from the skin by
chemical means, and. in consequence. has
not the same value as the shOrn wool for
the wool industries, more especially where
K is a question Of producing sensitive col
ors. Skin wool, on the other hand. is OBJ
tanned without using chemicals and is fully
equal TO shoTn wool in respect to quality,
and. indeed. for certain purposes-that is
as abb wool Cwarp)-it is often preferred
10 shorn wool, owing TO its tenacity and
length II is hardly necessary TO specially
mention that where skin wool is desired,
the main thing is to allow the fleece to
have had a growth OF from eight 10 twelve
months As to the process OF producing
such skin wool and its commercial value,
nothing whatever has been made public up
20 this time.

AMERICAN GENIUS IN PARIS.
The Patent Office to Send Exhibits to
the ExpOsition,

The work of preparing the Patent Office
exhibit for the forthcoming Paris Exposi-
tion is progressing rapidly, and it is ex-
pected that the models selected for exhibit
tion will be ready for shipment or or about
January %.
Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of Pat
ents, while at first loath to trusting the
models at such a distance, and under such
perils as were involved in an ocean voyage,
eventually complied with the very earnest
desire of Commissioner Peck for such an
exhibition.
Commissioner Peck he said, desired
to obtain some of the models illustrative of
the growth of industrial art, and natural
II came to the Patent Office for such mod
els. He urged that. the Patent Office ex-
hibit had formed an important feature in
every exposition of Importance held in
this country, including that given at Phil
adelphia in 1876 the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago. together with the local industrial
exhibits of Atlanta, Omaha, and New Or
leans.
"The exhibit" continued Mr.. Duell,
''will not, by any means be as large as
those contributed to the more important
of these expeditions, as, for instance, that
at the Worlds Fair, in Chicago, where
there were sent as many as $500 models.
1T will, however. be very complete in
arrangement and purpose, and will illus
trate the growth of industrial art in this
country.

trial devices, together with thoie illustrat-
ing the development of the steam engine"

direction of James S. Anthony, Director of

coRBETT MAKES A STATEMENT.
The Ex-senator Tells an Astorian Rep
resentative Some Facts Con-
oerning the Peterson Case.

Ex-senator H. w. Corbett. who has
just been sued for 100000 damages by
f. E, Peterson. OF Butte. Montana. for
alienation Of his wife's affections. was
over from Long Beach on business yes
terday and in an interview with an
Astorlan representative gave the facts
concerning the case which is now
bringing him so much unpleasant no.
torlety.
Mr.. Corbett stated that Mrs. Peter
sons father. who resides at Albany,
was known by him in former years,
and that through knowledge OF this
fact Mrs. Peterson worked upon his
sympathles to such an extent that he
made her a loan on two separate oc-
caslons. for which he received her
note, to aid in the care OF the old
gentleman, whom he understood was
suffering from a paralytic stroke and
in needy circumstances. He had not
been acquainted with Mrs. Peterson
previously. nor did he have any other
relations with her than that OF bene-
factor to her father through her. Mrs.
Peterson stated to Mr.. Corbett that she
had left her husband by mutual agree
ment and had come to- Oregon to care
for her invalid father. The ex-senator
tired of her continued importunities and
finally secured from her definite
statement and agreement that she
would annoy him no more.
According to the statement Of Judge
Henry McGinn. she then went to him
TO obtain his assistance in pushing a
black-mailing scheme against the ex-
senator. saying that he had plenty Of
funds and that they might as well pro-
cure a portion Of them as not. Judge
McGinn Indignantly refused to have
anything to do with the affair and
consequently she was forced to secure
other hackers. who Mr.. Corbett believes
are politicians who have special rea-
sons for taking up the enterprise.
Mr.. Corbett has evidence to prove
that Mrs. Peterson returned to Butte
aud worked out this suit In collusion
