To Detect Cotton Thread in Cloth.


The difference between wool and
cotton is very great, and in the case
of separate threads of each is plainly
apparent, yet when these same threads
are closely interviewer some good
judges are mistaken and buy mixed
cotton and wool goods, firmly con-
vinced that there is not a thread of
cotton in the cloth. It is the custom
Of all mills that manufacture cotton
and wool mixtures to run the cotton
crosswise in the looms, thus leaving
the wool to run lengthwise. This is
done for two purposes: First, to i'm
part the glossy appearance which the
longer stretch Of wool thread gives
when run in the length of the goods,
and secondly, because the proportion
Of cotton is necessarily less and there
fore more difficult to detect. The cot
ton thread. of course, is much smaller,
and very difficult to distinguish in
closely woven fabric. There is one in
fallible test, however.
Take bolt of goods at the cut end
and examine closely the crosswise
thread, slowly pulling it apart. If it
breaks almost evenly and comes apart
slowly then one is safe in judging it
to be all wool. If, on the contrary, it
breaks in short, uneven strands and
falls apart easily, refuse to accept the
goods, for it is undeniably cotton. and
will not give satisfaction. It were far
better to get an all cotton or all wool

The Detectives Ruse.

I imagine the detection Of crime
through a knowledge of botany is rare.
Sir George Birdwood's wide acquaint-
ance with botany once enabled him
to discover an adventurer who was
posing as a British nobleman. The
young fellow happened to remark at
dinner, after admiring some floral dec
orations, "You should see the Am
hersta nobilis in it's native woods"
Sir George replied, "You come from
Rangoon, then?" And afterward it
was found that the man who was
posing as member Of the British no
bility had escaped under shady circum-
stances from Rangoon. know Of a
case where detectives astuteness led
to identification of criminal. He had
been connected with a railway and
had been in hiding for some time.
The detective had reason to suspect
man posing as farm laborer. He
visited the farm and asked the man
the time suddenly. Instantly with
the habit Of lifetime upon him, the
laborer answered, "1O:15." II thought
So" said the detective; "you will come
with me-" Only railway man would

This burial ground is the largest

monuments that have been raised to
commemorate the affection and fidelity
of humble friends of the Emperors
and Empresses are Of gold, silver and

Some Of the statues, as statues they
are, are worth many thousands of

Hundreds Of dogs have been buried

place of honor both in the number of
valuable monuments and in the trib-

The United States Geological Sur
vey has in hand the investigation of
curious phenomena known as elbow
ing" or breathing" wells. In the
course of collecting we'll records, the
hydrologists Of the survey have OBJ
served many wells that emit currents
Of air with more or less force, some
times accompanied by a whistling
sound, which can be heard for a long
distance The best-known examples
Of this type of well are found through
out the State Of Nebraska. Blowing
wells are also known to occur in
Rapides Parish in southern Louisiana.
The force Of the air current in one Of
the Louisiana wells is sufficient to
keep mans hat suspended above it.
The cause Of such phenomena is
mainly due to changes in atmospheric
pressure or to changes in temperature.

With a rising barometer, the blowing

the temperature Of the surface air and
the air in the soil also produce similar

unbroken circuit, and with the summer
came the interior natives once more to
visit and trade. Kingmuk met them a
hundred miles out, and followed them
to the station, although their reception
of him was hardly overcordial. A dog
more or less mattered little to them,
and Kingmuk was gaunt and weak
from his winters chase, and aging
rapidly.
He found an old, or made a new,
dog friend, dog older than he, and
when the natives left for the interior
once more the two went with them.
What happened to the two during the
winter no one knows, but in the spring
Kingmuk returned to the station, bring
ing his friend with him. But it was
too late to help the older dog. He could
neither eat nor drink, and soon died.
The thaw had hardly begun, and his
body was dragged out on the solid ice
of the lagoon and left there. Kingmuk
followed as chief mourner, and lay
down by his dead comrade in mute
sympathy and sorrow.
Henceforth his home was by the
side of his comrade, and except when
he came to the station-once day-for
food, he remained there. When the
lagoon began to thaw, Kingmuk went
to the nearest bank to lie; but seeing
the water rising, and that his friend
did not follow, he went out on the
flooded ice and dragged him ashore,
where he again took up his post beside
him.
Through the brief summer Kingmuk
thus remained, undisturbed, respected
by all in his devotion, and no attempt
was made to separate them until the
winters SHOWS came again. Kingmuk
was rapidly growing weaker, and it
was seen that he could not long with
stand the severe weather. Every in
ducement save force was offered to get
him to come to the station to be cared
for, but Kingmuk remained faithful
to his mourning, and the first blizzard
of the winter covered the two, still ly-
ing side by side.-Youth's Companion.
