TEXTILE FIBERS.

A German doctor. improving on a
method patented in France some years
ago. has produced from cotton a fiber
which in many respects surpasses the
material from which it is prepared. and
the same may be said Of an English pro-
cess patented in 1897, by which, from
mass Of cotton dissolved in certain chem.
1cals, continuous threads may be spun
and fibers obtained of any desired length.
The fineness and length of the fibers
produced by either of these processes
are the chief features of Improvement,
which may possibly induce manufac.
turers to take them UP. The former is
already being handled on large scale
on both sides of the channel: and the
latter. although as yet scarcely beyond
the experimental stage. bids fair to
become equally successful
We hear that even silk-the queen Of
all fbers-is not secure on her throne.
She likewise has many competitors, and

OF these. one halls from certain Medi-
terranean shores, notably Sicily, where
at low tide, from myriads of shellfish
which attach themselves to the rocks
and larger stones upon the beach,
quantity Of very fine and glossy fibrous
matter not unlike a cobweb and similar
in appearance to silk, is obtained, and
this. when thoroughly washed. dried and
combed, is made up into fabrics.
Another fiber which threatens to dis
place the produce Of the silkworm Is that
known as Vandura silk. produced in
Glasgow by artificial means and at .
very small cost. It consists Of extreme.

gelatinous solution through q number

HIndrancea TO Success.

Many a man with great brain powe,
and fine physique who started In lf,
with good prospects has failed to attain
great success because of little ldiosyn
crasies, pcculiarlties Of speech or man
ncr, things not In themselves vicious ol
wrong, but which render him disagree
able or unacceptable to those who hav,
dealings with him.
If 1t were possible for us to write Of
all the little things which have Gu

contributed TO tho whole, it would b,

ports of the directors of tine two hospi-

public today. show that 1892 cases We're
handled by them during the year ending
April l, 1901. No charge is made for
these operations by the university. a
friend of the university who considered
the large amount of good done the peo-
pie of the state by the university for
no compensation remarked that even at
the small valuation of SIS for each oper-
alton the state received back from the
two hospitals a large amount of the
money spent for the university. OF
course the university is glad to make no
charge at ALL as it wants as many cases
as possible for the clinics of the medical
classes.

Iowa City, May 1S.-Members of the

tempts have been made to bribe the
council to secure action against the
paving of College street. The charge
has gained wide circulation and is caus-

College street is one OF the richest

MacLean's residence is one of the many
fine residences upon it. Some weeks ago
the council passed preliminary resoiu-
tons for the paving of the street, the
vote standing eight for and two against.
The residents raised a storm of protest
to the paving. claiming that they had
already made a permanent improves
