ly decorated with flowers and carna-
tions were strewn at each place.
Miss Josephine Smith as president of
the society, presided as toastmistross.
Her words of welcome from the society

TO r Q SILK WORMS.

Congress to He Asked for Funds t.
Provide for a Now Industry.
For the purpose of making explri-
ments In the raising Of silkworms ana
the production of raw silk, Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson proposes to ask
Congress for an appropriation OF NO.
900. II successful in this endeavor and
If his experiments turn out well, 1t Is
his hope to establish in the United
States an industry which will keep
within our borders a considerable por-
ton Of the $45. 900, 900 which is an
nuelly paid to foreign producers for
raw silk. 1t Is the belief Of the promo
ter of the scheme that the south Will
prove a most fertile field for silk
farmers and that eventually the in
dustry will be conducted there n in
the west on extensive lines. The sell
ence Of raising silkworms Is most In
tsresting. The silkworm Is the larva
Of a moth and may be regarded as
truly domesticated showing no desire
to escape from confinement If kept sup
piled with food. The eggs Of the silk
WoTH are nearly SpHeTlCdl anu aoous
the size Of turnip seeds. Each female
produces on an average from 300 to 400
OF them. about 20, 900 making an ounce
In weight. The eggs. when about to
hatch, are spread out on clean paper
thinly, and over them are laid small
pieces Of ordinary mosquito netting,
over which are scattered a few finely
cut mulberry leaves. The newborn
worms at once pass through the
msshes Of the net in search of food.
and the whole can be easily removed
to the place where they are to pass he
first stage of their existence. When
at length the worms begin to lose ap-
petite and throw out silk. it is time for
the grower to construct little arches
OF twigs between the shelves for the
spinning Of the cocoons. When this
has been done the worms promptly
mount into the branches and begin to
spin. Care has to be taken to prevent
any two or three of them from making
a double or treble cocoon, which would
be Unfit for weaving.

work the coal and iron deposits of the
central and southern portion. lies to
the west of Chilli, y a London
It consists of an interor
plateau of 5000 feet elevation, more
or less cut up by mountains rising to
5000 feet and 1900 feet above the
sea. In some places these ranges have
been cut through by rivers: but in all
parts they are rugged, and the trans
portation must be effected by pack
mules or camels. In the eastern por-
ton of the province. and running into
the province of Honan, are deposits of
anthracite coal The western half has
bituminous coal covering some II, 900
square miles, and all along the west
ern boundary are deposits of p~etrole-
UNI. At many different points in the
coal region are deposits of rich iron
ore. The coal strata are practically
horizontal and at an elevation of about
$500 feet. They show wherever ero-
sion has cut to n sufficient depth. This
anthracite coal vein is unbrOken over
an area of $500 square miles, and
its thickness varies from % feet to
so feet. an average of 40 feet. All of
this deposit is within the limits of the
concession. There are thousands of
native coal mines now in operation.
and the coal has been used for prob
ably 5000 years. The iron ore is now
worked by the natives. Consul Rags
dale says hat there is probably no
coal field known in the world that
can compare with this of Shansi, eth
er in quality or quantity of coal, or
the possibility of cheap production.

BICYCLE PARADE FOR
THE STREET FAIR.

The suggestion that a bicycle parade
be gotten up for the street fair has met
with hearty commentator from the
of it. The Republican has been asked
to suggest an early meeting for the
whcelmen and wheelwomen of the city,
when the plans for the parade can be
formulated, as the time is growing
short, and some drilling on formation
of line and other details will be neces-
sary. The columns of this paper are
at the disposal of the bicyclists in any
way that they can be used for the
common good in this matter.
