Silk Made From Wood.
From the New York Tribune.

FfOm the New York Tribune:
A plant for making silk from wood.
erected near Sydowsaue, Germany, is
at present turning out so pounds of
skein silk day, which product can be
Increased in quantity to 1000 pounds.
The silk is soft in texture and creamy
in color. Each thread is made up OF
1S single strands. A single strand is
hardly perceptible to the naked eye. In
strength it is but one third that of the
real silk. When woven into pieces, the
new substitute is said to have the ap-
pearance of real silk. IThe pulp under
goes a chemical process and is pressed
through very fine tubes by hydraulic
pressure, forming the single strands
which go to make up the thread.

A Bryan Bon Mot.
From the Boston Herald:


Another reason why Christmas is
preferable to Thanksgiving is that it
is yet to come. By the way, we note
that Mr.. Bryan, in his Thanksgiving
speech in London, explained to the as
sembled Englishmen the difference be-
tween our Thanksgiving and our
Fourth Of July. On the Fourth, said
he, we celebrate our independence; on
Thanksgiving day we acknowledge our
dependence. Rather neat!
