SILK MADE BY CHEMISTRY.
Science Has Found a Way to Create
the FaYorite Fabric.

Science Has Found a Way to Create
the Favorite Fabric.
Synthetics loom large even now, al
though 1t Is true that attention has
chiefly been turned to the synthesis OF
drugs. But there Is no reason why
equal success should not attend the
efforts Of the chemist to build up ar
ticles of food, drink and clothing from
their elements. in the same way as
mere chemical compounds have been
constructed. 1t is only a. question OF
the growth of knowledge of the con-
stitution of matters. Already the syn
thesis of many articles of common
daily occurrence has been effected. The
aniline coloring matters are practically
synthetics; indigo and madden are COM
mon products Of the laboratory, and
sugar and alcohol may be prepared
from the elements which compose
them.
The latest achievement of the build
ing chemist appears to be the artificial
production of at any rate the most i'm
portant constituent of silk. Chemists
have long known that the chief con-
stituent of silk-insects' cocoons and
spiders threads-is an insoluble pro-
teid, behaving very much In the same
way as proteids in general, Of which
the albumins are types. Mulberry silk
In particular consists of over 20 per
cent of a proteid substance termed
fbroin, associated with % per cent Of
yellowish transparent substance re-
sembling gelatine In composition and
character and known as sericin. These
two albuminous substances occur in
silk with about 3 per cent Of wax and
l per cent of mineral matter. 1t Is
sericin, however, or rather its deriv-
alive by hydrolysis, serine, which has
been successfully synthesized, and In
asmuch as silk owes its peculiar and
delightful character largely to this
substance, there Is no doubt that an
important step toward the artificial
manufacture of silk has been made.
Day by day synthetics are forcing
themselves upon our notice and are
threatening to take a place somewhere
or other In mans ordinary routine The
question has still to be settled whether
synthetically or artificially prepared
J subStance-that Is, one which Is iden-
teal as far as can be judged with the
natural product-gives precisely the
same satisfactory results. Most people,
we are sure, will confess so far to a
sneaking preference for the thing
which nature takes time to elaborate
rather than for the product conjured
up, so to speak. in few hours in the
laboratory. But already 1t is getting
difficult In some directions to obtain
the natural article. 1t is so, at any
rate, with indigo, and it Is just possible
that In the near future 1t will be no
uncommon experience to hear in the
shops a customer precise in his de-
mand for either the synthetic or nat
ural article In accordance with his

WILLING TO ARBITRATE.
Premier of France COnfers with
Striking Miners.

Paris, Oct. 27.-Premier Combes had
two hours conference with the national
committee of the Miners Federation
and the latter agreed to submit the de-
manGs of the miners to arbitration,
which the committee declared ought to
include the establishment of a mini
mum wage and regulation of the hours
of work.
M. Combes will next consult the del
egates of the companies. The action
OF the French premier is regarded here
as evidently being cumulative of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Intervention in the
coal strike in the United States.

General Methuen, recently captured
and released by the Beers, was once
military attache at Berlin. Onone oc-
casion he was invited to meet the
Emperor, and on the way, jumped into
the River Spree to save a drowning
child. By the time he had gone back
and changed his clothes he was late to
the levee, and had to apologize, but
did not give his reason. A few days
later, at another reception, the Emper-
or drew the British attache aside and
pinned the German rescue medal on
his coat.

There are a series of knuckle-joints
which will let the victim down very

terrors of the ordeal. This seems to
be the first public admission that Grid
