CHICAGO LIKES PICKLE DIET
Western Metropolis Has Become the
Largest Consumer in the
United States.

That Chicago is becoming the greatest
pickle eating community In the United
States Is claim made by the Tribune
II Is said that inside the city limits Is
one OF the most extensive pickle works
In the world. that In the matter of acres
In cucumbers and onions, the number of
hands employed and the variety of goods
OF this character there is nothing to
beat II. But the country districts are
fast gaining In this business. especially
In the growth of cucumbors. Some OF
the big Wholesale grocers of the city are
establishing pickle houses In many DIFF
foront sections OF Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan. They make contracts with
the farmers to plant n certain number
OF acres, agreeing to take the entire
product AZ stipulated prices. A large
building is erected In such a community
and the work Of picking is carried on in
II Farmers find cucumbcrs profitable
crop. Last year pickle factory was
established at Sycamore, H., and the
first crop has been an entire success
one man took at one picking from al
acre and half cucumberR that netted
him t2iS7 II is estimated that there
are from Is to 20 picklnes. so that If the
balance Of the crop turns ont In proper
ton to the first picking. the land will be
found to be prontably employed. The
city OF Chicago and its suburbs is the
DIE market for this product, which shows
mat our people have tooth for sour
things as well ms for sweets.

COTTON MADE FROM WOOD


Artificial cotton is now made from
various woods. as from pine In la.
Varia and from fir In France. In tho
French process. the wood, freed from
bark and knots, and pulveriZcd by a
special machine, is steamed ten hours
In a horizontal brass lcad-lined cylin-
der OF $500 cubic feet capacity, after
which 1000 cubic feet uf bisulphato OF
soda wash is added and the whole is
heated Sc hours under pressure of
three atmospheres. The fiber, thus
made very white Is then washed and
ground by a series of strong metallic
meshcs. after which II is given cleo
ro-chemical bleaching by chloride of
lime. The mass Is dried between two
powerful! rollers, The resulting puro
cellulose Is reheated in a tight metal
boiler with a mixture Of chloride Of
zinc and hydrochlorlc and nitric acids,
TO which Is added little castor oil,
casein and gelatlne to give resistance
to the fiber The very consistent paste
produced is drawn into threads
through a kind OF draw plate. The
threads are passed over gummed
cloth, then immersed in weak carbon.

MANY DESERTlONS IN NAVY
Navigation Authorities Astonished at
Number Who Take French
Leave of Service.

Descrtions In the navy are increasing
TO such an extent as to give the naval
authorities the Eraycst concern. The
condition is not admitted In the bureau
Of navigation, but the reports received
there from the ships on home and for
eiGn stations contain statistics Of de-
sertions that are of alarming proper
tons. No one Is able to understand
why there should be such Illegal with
drawals of the men from the service
II is all the more surprising when It is
considered that the payment and priv
tleges of the enlisted men have been
made as attractive MS possible say the
authorities, and all for the purpose OF
creating contcntmcnt among the blue
Jackets One reason given is that the
punishment Of the culprits who are ap-
pretended Is altogether Inadequate ana
amounts t. an easier existence than
that of those who do their duty. The
situation is so menacinr that the author
tiles are deyising some means of keep
ing the enlisted force up to It's required
