AN ODD INDUSTRY.
The Manufacture OF Fishing Tackle
and Surgical Threaa from siIk
Worm Ensestfnes.

A curious industry is the manufac-
ture OF silk.worm gut for fishing
tackle. The best of 1t comes from the
Spanish silk fields. A silk worm ready
to spin its cocoon has within a long,
much convoluted intestine Allied with
pure fluid silk. The gut makers take
such worms, snip of both ends, then
deftly draw out the full intestine,
straighten II, pass IL through sundry
chemical solutions to cleanse and
strengthen ii, and at last dry 1t and
tie it in lunches, says an Industrial ex-
change.
The result Is filament several
yards long, strong, fine, elastic and In
water nearly invisible. This is the gut
leader attached to the end Of braid
ed line, to hold the hook.
Silk worm gut Is also useful In sur
gerry. 1t has possibly the greatest tex
tile strength proportioned to size of
any known ligature.
Chemistry has found out way to
do in tanks what the worm does In it's
stomach. that is. how to dissolve
woody hber into a clear, ropy, liquid.
This is spun By forcing II through in
Vulnerable tiny holes In a brass cylin-
der, Then the threads are chemically
treated, washed, dried, hot pressed
and variously tortured. The result is
thread that looks and feels like raw
silk, but lacks the strength Of true
silk. 1t Is used for woof. In many mills

CONTEST BETWEEN TWO STATES.

An extremely interesting case involv-
ing water rights and good deal more is
likely TO came up in the Supreme Court
OF the United States. The parties to this
strange case will be two States-Colo-
RADIO and kansas-and the dispute is
over the use of the waters OF the Arkan-
sas river.
This great river rises in the Rocky
Mountains in the State OF Colorado,
crosses that State and continues its
course for 400 miles through Southern
stream to the people OF Kansas, espec-
tally in the western part, where the
rainfall is light and irrigation is neces-
sary for successful farming. The river
is known in that country as the Nile of
Kansas" and this name sufficiently in
dieates it's value and importance to the
people.
OF late years, however, the volume OF
water flowing down the stream has been
diminishing 80 rapidly that In Kansas it
is feared that it may cease to flow alto
gether. The reason OF this is that irri-
CATION is increasing rapidly in Colorado
and the water of the Arkansas river is
DETECTED into irrigating bitches. The
form of the proposed proceeding by Kan
sas against Colorado is curious one.
The State of Colorado is not in the irri-
CATION business and does not take any
water from the river, but it incorporates
irrigation companies, and these cor
porations do the alleged wrong, The
form OF the proceeding will, therefore, be
bill to enjoin Colorado from incorpor-
ating any more companies to draw water
from the river.
The Supreme Court has announced an
order allowing Kansas to file the bill,
and the Chief Justice said that the State
OF Colorado would have the right to AN
swer or demur.

NEW YOkk'S TRADE
West and South Rebel Against

Tired of BeiA6 MIXED East Of the

Turu Fad for End-Trend
of Shipments. z

II the United States were q huge
funnel, with the smaller end at New
York, SO that all things from all Sec
tions could scramble in at one end and
land with a certainty at the other, the
business men of New York might not
be engaged, as they are at present, In
what threatens to be the last strug-
gle to prevent the general trade CEN
ter of America from sloping to the in
terror of the continent, says Arthur |.
Street, in Ainsiee's.
Twenty or more years ago nearly
everything grayitated toward New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
cities of the North Atlantic section
The raw products of every portion of
the west, from Utica to Denver, tum-
bled over themselves to reach the man.
ufnctories of the east The retailers
Of the west, from the Monongahela to
the North Platte and the Sacramento,
sent their orders for pots, pans, hoe
handles and groceries to the jobbers
of the Harlem and the Schuylkill.
The farmers of the west shipped their
wheat and corn from the Mississippi
valley to the shores of the Hudson and
the Narragansett to purchase their
plows and their haY-rakes, But in the
latter portion of the seventies the
process began to stop, and it has been
stopping ever since. The food stun
and raw material of the west have
found that home Is q good place to
stay. Grocers and furniture dealers
and clothiers and shoemakers think
that freight charges saved are better
than trademarks of old firms on the
Atlantic.
Woods grown in the forests of the
northwest and the south are turned
into harvesters and wagons and Office
desks in the vicinities of their birth.
The man in the west does his business
in the west. The man in the south
does his business in the south. New
York is simply submitting to law of
geography. There are mountains and
rivers between the west and the south
and the NORTH and east, and commodi-
ties of trade, like human beings, climb
or swim only for necessity or for
sport. Grain refuses to go up the Blue
Ridge in order to get down TO the At
lantic, because it can reach the ocean
at the gulf or the great lakes with
half the effort. Orders for metal or
cloth halk ut the mountains and the
distance to the east and north, because
they have found that they can get
what they want in the nearer fields of
birmingham and Superior and North
Carolina.
AS Col. J. NJ. Lowe, of Kansas City,
put the thing rather aptly some years
ago. in speech made in reply to a
declaration by railroad managers that
the diversion of traffic to the gulf was
to be checked:
IT'S no use. The fat has gone
forth and all the managers in creation
cannot stopit. Western grain win not
submit TO climb the mountains and be
hauled 1900 miles down to seaport
when 1t can reach deep water on a
down grade in half the distance. For
quarter Of q century the west, like a

and mashed it fiat Mr.. Potter could not
have recovered damages for injury by
beer. The attorney for the defense
drew nice distinction between care
lessness and negligence. The point was
so fine that the court could not see it
and the injury gave verdict in favor OF

A case somewhat similar to this was
tried in New York some years ago, but
we believe no conclusion was ever
reached, as, under the reformed system
OF procedure in that State case never
can end as long anyone will appeal to
another court or ask for new trial.
