German Genius Secures a Product that
Closely Reese m b1es Good Cloth.
A suit Of clothes from turf wool may
be no novelty ten years from now. AL
ready it is possible to get fine spin
ming material from turf fiber.
The early experiments with turf, ten
years ago, We're unsatisfactory, reports
Frank II. Mason, our consul general in
Berlin. The fibers then obtained were
not good spinning material, being hard
and brittle, and not easily bleached or
cOlOred. Later, civil engineer named
ZschOrner, in Vienna, succeeded in ex-
tracing threads from turf which
proved to be good spinning material.
He worked by dry process. unaided
by chemicals, and succeeded in pro-
ducing a kind of wool. which, though
not adapted to the spinning Of fine
yarn. is yet so flexible and elastic that
large fabrics can be made therefrom.
1t is characterized also by great alb
sorptivity, is poor heat conductor.

ly firm and cheap
ding. This is used as bandages for men
and animals, in cases Of wounds and
the like, and also as filling for pillows
and bed coverings. Then he wOve turf
yarn into ropes and rugs. The remnants
which resulted served for the produc-
ton of paper and pasteboard.
Karl Geige, in Dusseldorf has gone
still further. He has secured from turf
fiber a fine spinning material, which
has absorptivity, and which may also
be bleached or colored. After extract
ing the vegetable substance Geige
treats 1t with acids and alkalies, and
then boils the resulting liquid, whereby
the cells are disorganized and useless
substances released and washed out,
so that the turf wool consists of almost
pure cellulose.
1t Is affirmed that the Geige turf wool
is soft and elastic, with all the good
properties Of rival products. and in it's
spinning capability resembles sleeps
wool. Clothing material and different
kinds Of yarn are made out of this turf
product in combination with cotton or
sleeps wool. Turf cloth. it is asserted,
absOrbs perspiration in summer and is
warm in winter. Felt hats are made
Of the turf wool. 1t ID further stated
that Geige makes Smyrna and other
rugs out of turf wool, which are bleach
ed and colored. In addition to all this,
the Geige turf wadding, it is maintain
ed, Is not only cheap, but useful
bandage material, because it readily
absorbs the secretions of wounds.
which are, therefore. kept always dry
and clean. 1t Is recommended further
as a substitute for laying under i'll per
sons and as padding for splints.

There are many labor unions in Porto
Rico, organized according to the prin-
.iples of the American labor move
ment.
An American syndicate Is seeking
sites near Manchester, England, upon
which to erect two mammoth mills for
the spinning of American-grown cot
ton.
The manufactures of the United
States produced silk goods to the value
Of S1O7,256,25S In 1900. Silk manufac-
turing is now one Of the leading indus
tries of the nation.
Greensboro, n. c., expects to have
the largest mill for the manufacture
Of colored goods in the world. the
equipment at the start to be $4,000
spindles and 1000 looms, to BE- doubled
later on If conditions warrant.
A bulletin published by the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that for
the fiscal year 1901 the United States
imported nearly $392, 100000 worth of
agricultural products, or more than
one-fourth as much as it exported of
such products. Over $9O,OOO,OOO Of this
total was paid for imported sugar.
During last April shipments Of cattle
and hogs to Europe were valued at ST.
$780, 32. as against $2,OOO,447 for
March. In the matter Of provisions,
which include fresh and preserved
meats Of all kinds, exports for April
were Sl5,262,526. or about 100000
more than during the preceding month.
Samuel Gompers, the labor leader, is
master of five languages. At con.
vention of the American Federation of
Labor some years ago some delegates
made speeches in Italian, in French. in
German and in Spanish. Mr.. Gompers
was at home with them all. He made
notes on their addresses and when nee.
cssary Interrupted them on obscure
points in their own language.

of the total wages. The value of their
products was $1,3SO.975,2 6S, or $50 pei

OMENS OF HATEFUL THINGS.
Superstitious Minds Revert to Shadows
ON White House Porches.

ON White House Porches.
The shooting Of President Mckinley
recalls to superstitious minds the shad-
Ows that have appeared in recent years
on the large columns Of the north or
main porch Of the White House. Dur
ing the winter months these shadows
are most distinct than in other months
and appear near the top Of the columns
around the midday hours. 1t Is re-
called now that last fall shadow ap-
peared that had never been seen on
the column before. 1t required no eff
fort Of the Imagination to recognize it
as a human forearm and hand, with
bent finger upheld in the attitude Of
warning. 1t appeared and disappeared
each day for fortnight or more. Some
time after this. when the suns position
had changed, a shadow of nondescript
form appeared on the great pillar at
the extreme northwest corner Of the
pOrtico. 1t soon took on definite shape
and at o'clock in the afternoon repre-
sented the face and shoulders of Presi-
dent Mckinley in profile. The silhou-
cite was so striking as to attract the
attention of many people, who remark
ed that more perfect profile drawing
could hardly be made by an artist. The
likeness was not Il correct one for more
than few minutes and then it changed
with the altering position of the sun,
and ten minutes later had assumed a
remarkably perfect likeness of the late
Queen Victoria. even to an object on
the head resembling crown. Some
times the shadows present the bent
form of an old woman. with one hand
resting on an object resembling spin
ming Wheel,-WaShingtO Star.

Mary f. wilkins, the very popular
writer, is writing a new serial for Har-

does it. What Is noticeable in Miss
wilkins story, however, is her old
time carefulness in describing home
life as in her earlier works. She Is al
ways painstaking, and this shows re-

Men Steam Themselves, whip Each
Other, and Roll in Snow.
A primitive sort of Turkish bath is
INDUCED in by some OF the Finlanders
Of northern Norway. In winter in this
part of the country the thermometer
averages 40 degrees below zero, and
water bathing is not practicable. These
Finlanders, unlike the Lapps farther
north, have an instinct for bodily clean
illness, and manage to preserve it after
the following fashion; Paul du Chail-
ence, declares the method fine. Each
hamlet has bathhOuse for common
use. 1t is perhaps Is feet long by II
WIDE 1t boasts no window and only
when the door is opened can air or light
enter.
Bathing day comes once week
Saturday. Early in the morning of
that day wood is brought and fire
started. When the stones become hot
the fire is put out. the place cleaned. a
large vessel of water and some slender
birch twigs brought in and the prepa-
rations declared complete. AS no
| dressing-roOm is provided toilets are
unmade and made in the various
homes. 1t is scarcely necessary to add
that no time is lost in the progress
from the home Of the bathhOuse. No
clothes and a temperature of 40 de-
grees below zero are incentives to
haste.
When all the men and boys are in the
bathhOuse and the door is closed, water
is thrown upon the hot stones until the
place is filled with steam. Perspira-
ton pOurs from the sweltering bodies,
yet more active exercise is demanded,

via nothing but waves to seward
And the grim rocks toward the laad.
Tho roll Of the black clouds over,
And the breakers ON every hand;
The night comes down on the ocean,
And We climb the winding stair
To see that our lights are piercing
The thick'ning, foggy air.
Alone on rock in the desert
OF tumbling and tossing tide;
The nations outer signal
To wanderers far and wide.
Alone. and we wonder dimly
II the foghorn reaches the shore
Or pierces the outer stretches
That tumble and toss evermore.
Perchance in the little village
Some fisherwife wakes in fright,
And peers from her smoky window
To see if we're shining bright.
Or out on the tossing pillows
A helmsman watches our light,
A thousand souls in his keeping
As they rush through the painless night

RANGE OF THE CATFISH ZONE,
Origin of the Philadelphia Habit of
Eating Them with Waffles.

Origin of the Philadelphia Habit of
Eating Them with Waffles.
While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension Of the pie belt through
the United States, and the enlargement
Of the saleratus biscuit district, they
have been entirely oblivious of the ex.
traOrdinary development Of the catfish
zone. This mischlevous dweller Of the
pool Is known to the small boy and tie
rustic angler under many names-in
one place as sucker, in another bull
head. in a third a wolffish, and, most
outrageous Of all, In northern Mssis.
sippi as shad. But Its own and only
genuine title Is catfish. The name is
derived from the fact that with its long
feelers its head bears some resemblance
t. that Of a cat. and when the creature
IL raised from the water it emits a
grunting protest which pOetical fisher
men have pronounced like the purring
Of a family cat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to pervent starvation,
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal, and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color Of the under side of its body
from white to yellow. He perceived
the pecuniary value Of the discovery,
and established a catfish farm, in
which he fattened the fishes which ne
caught elsewhere, and in due season
sold them to the Philadelphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discover
ed that the Old-fashiOned waffle, slight
~ sailed and covered with melted but
ter, made an irresistible accessory to
the fish when we'll fried. This started
the catfish and waffies east Cf the Della
ware River. The habit spread like an
epidemic, and, like the star Of empire,
it's way was westward. So far as is
known, the United States Government
has no record Of catfish and waffies east
Of the Delaware River, but, starting at
Philadelphia, a distinct catfish zone
runs westward, terminating at Denver,
reaching as far north as Minneapolis
and st. Paul and as far south as Mo-
bile and New Orleans. The catfish Is
said to possess medicinal virtue. says
the New York Post. 1t is mildly anaes.
