TRICKS or SILK WORKERS.
Mskisg Of limitations OF This Fabric
Briefly Explained.

Pure silk, when IL has been through
all the processes necessary to bring
out all its good qualities. is worth its
weight in silver. said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect to buy pure silk at little more
than the price OF cotton must expect
to be fooled; and there are lots OF ways
by which the manufacturer gets even
with them. They make stun that Is
called silk, and passes for 1t with cred
ulous persons. who don't know any bet
ter. out OF nearly any old thing now.
One favorite imitation silk Is made Of
celluloid treated with chemicals. II
isn't a good material to get on fire
In. Then there are South Sea Island
cottons and some mercerized cottons.
which, after treatment. look something
like silk. though. of course. they wear
very differently and their silken ap-
pearance soon vanishes. But II Is in
adulterating goods which really have
some silk In them that the greatest
skill is exercised to deceive the buyer.
To obtain the required rustic and body
rough floss Is often used for the woof
OF the material. This soon causes 1t
to wear shiny. Another trick is to in
crease the weight and apparent solidty
OF a flimsy silk material by using me
tallic salts in the dye vats. Pressing,
with some kinds Of silk. increases the
weight also. but a. the sacrifice OF
strength. Cheap, crackly, stih SILK
which has heavy cords is good silk
| TO avoid. II won't wear. There are
several tests which reveal readily the
purity OF a piece OF silk. The micro
scope. OF course. will show ii at once,
even to an unpracticed eye. Pure silk
has the appearance Of fine smooth
tubes. Another good test is by burn
ing. Pure silk burns slowly. with a
slight odor: cotton flares up quickly
and would throw of decidedly dis
agreeable smell. Then the tongue will
readily reveal the presence of metallic
salts. There is no mistaking their
taste. But all these may be disregard
ed, said the expert. when silk Is offer-
ed for the price OF cotton. You need
not bother to test that stuh.-San

Interesting details of Sven Hedin's
researches in Central Asia are con-
tanned In a letter from the explorer
to a friend in Copenhagen. The writer
declares that the last summer has
proved the most fruitful period OF his
Journey. We broke up from Til
men," he says, "on July 20, In order TO
explore the unknown regions OF the
north OF Thibet. The journey there
and back to our headquarters occupied
ninety-three days We covered 1853
kilometers (about as far as from
Stockholm to Paris). The way led
through completely unknown districts.
We preserved our surveys OF IL In lI3
maps. The caravan consisted at the
start OF six servants. seven camels,
twelve horses. sixteen sheep and one
mule. During the journey We lost one
man. an Afghan explorer, who died
after an illness of thirteen days, and
whose body we were Obliged to carry
across the desert; three camels. nine
horses and the mule. The animals died
from overexertion. Almost all the

MILLIONAIRE IN SENATE.
Twelve Years Ago He wss Down to His
Last Cent.

Thomas Kearns. sworn In lately as
senator from Utah. has had a remarka-
BILE career. Twelve years ago he was a
poor farmer in Nebraska, near the
town OF Fremont. His neighbor was
a man named Keith. They sold their
farms. and with the money started for
Utah to become miners. For several
years they prospected without any re-
turn whatever. They knew what II
was to be down TO the last cent in their
pockets and the last cracker in the
grub-box. One day Kearns found a
rich streak. There was gold. silver.
lead and copper. He secured enough
money to run shaft and then COM
menced operations. To-day the mine
is known as the Silver King, the larg-
est silver mine in the world. Mr..
Kearns has been offered and refused
$l2 900 900 for II. II has paid 1900
900 in dividends. Keith has shared
equally in the profits. Senator Kearns
Is. therefore, another millionaire in
the senate. 1t is said. to his credit,
however, that with all his good fortune
he is the same Tom Kearns who used
to farm In Nebraska. Deprived OF the
advantages Of an early education. he
has done his best to make up the def
cit, and what he learned he remem-
bered. He is said to be a man OF many
interesting and admirable traits. his
generosity being illustrated by the
fact that he donated twenty acres of
land and a building costing 500, 900
for an asylum for the orphans OF min
ers. Although Senator Kearns is a
Catholic. the institution is non-sectari-
an. and every form OF religion is pre-
sented among the little ones who find

HIDE HIM FROM ENEMIES.
The stripes on the Zebra Serve to Con-
ceal Him.

The usefulness OF the stripes upon
the tiger is easily explained, since they
enable him To hide among the coarse
grass OF the jungle. But how are we to
account for the markings OF the zebra.
who is the pre-eminent specialist In
stripes? A full answer would require
a whole article. for IL involves one or
the most complex and interesting para
doxes In natural history. To put the
matter as briefly as possible one must
make two statements. which at first
sight appear to be fatty contradictory.
Firstly. the zebra is striped because II
Is to his interest to be conspicuous;
to his interest to be invisible. Strange
~ enough. not only are both these
statements strictly true, but one may
further say that no other kind OF
coloration would protect the zebra so
well. During the daytime zebras
usually Craze in small herds among
the stunted trees and bushes OF the
African uplands. They do not place
sentinels to watch against their foes,
like the wild sheep and the chamois,
because usually there is no command
ing spot available where sentinel
could overlook the surrounding country
Their method consists in each mem
Der OF the band keeping an eye upon
the movements OF his fellows as we'll
as keeping a sharp lookout for himself.
IL a prowling leopard approaches the

pretty sure to perceive the danger and

his start OF alarm. Hence II will be

member OF the band is the more read

the eyes OF his fellows-who at once
take the hint and save themselves
from being eaten by good use oI
their legs. II is at night that the zebra

MAPLE SUGAR.
Ohio Producers VIII Form = Trust and
Advance the Price.

The maple sugar industry has been
declining in Importance for some
twenty years. The main reason for
this Is that the sugar maple thrives
best in a rich soil and farmers have
been discovering that they could put
these naturally good lands to more
profitable use than by raising sugar.
They have therefore cut down a great
deal Of the sugar maple all the way
from Vermont to Ohio. and have put
a very large acreage which yielded
nothing but maple sugar into other
crops. Ohio ia now the largest center
OF sugar maple growing. On the whole
the crop has declined about one-half
until the industry is not now very i'm
portant, except in Ohio. The sugar
makers there. in view OF the lessenins
supply of the commodity, have decided
that 1t will oe safe to merge their In
terests, fix a price upon their product
and derive much more profit from the
industry that heretofore. At a recent
meeting held In Ashtabula an agree
ment was drawn up binding the farm
ers to send all their sap TO Middleheld.
Ohio, to be boiled. Heretofore each
farmer has boiled his own sap. Mid
dlefield has been selected as the place
for manufacturing syrup and sugar be-
cause 1t is the largest center Of the in
dustry. being situated in close proxim
ity to over 100000 maple trees. The
trust will manufacture all the syrup
and sugar and attend to the sales of
the product. the profits being divided
among the members OF the combination
in proportion to the amount OF raw
material they supply. Most OF the
manufactured product is now sold in
the form of syrup instead OF sugar. and
the recent meeting voted to advance
the price OF syrup to 81 a gallon. which
is 25 cents more than the usual price
II remains to be seen whether this
combination will prove success
