MADE OF PAPER.
Textile Fabrics That Are Warm and
May Be Washed.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American
Garments made OF paper have long been
used In eastern Asia. but only I'm default OF
other clothing or special occasions. In
western countries the only articles of dress
made of paper until recently, were collars
cuffs and shirt bosoms; that is to say,
articles which are usually starched. Now,
however, numerous inventors are endeayor-
ing to introduce woven paper fabrics
Some time ago Italian, Prof ZanettI.
devised method of making fine and strong
yarns by twisting very thin silk paper cut
into strips about one-tenth of an inch wide
AS yet these yarns are used only for wicks
of wax candles and in the manufacture OF
incandescent gas nantes.
A greater advance has been made in
Saxony. Here, also, narrow strips of paper
are spun by process patented by Clavlez
& Co. Paper and cotton are also spun to-
gcther. so that in the finished yarn the
paper envelops the cotton. These yarns
are used as filters, In conjunction with cot
ton warp, In weaving drillings suitable for
towelfng and summer waistcoats trousers
and skirts.
Heavier and warmer cloth Is made by
combining paper and wooden yarns. The
fabric Is cream colored, and may De wash

1t is well adapted for tennis and lounging
suits. Sufficient cloth for a Jacket, waist
coat and trousers costs only 10 marks or
500 and still cheaper garments are made
for laborers. This new product is named
xylolin.
For such use. however, raw materials
even cheaper than finished paper are
sought. Spinning-mill refuse, consisting OF
very short smooth fibers that cannot DO
spun, goes, as a rule, to the paper mills.
Many attempts to utilize this material have
been made in spinning mills, and expert
ments in spinning 1t wet suggested the idea
of further comminuting the short fibers In
paper machines. In this way a thin fibrous
paste was produced. This when poured on
sleeves. yielded thin. soft paper. which
partially dried and cut into narrow strips.

One brand of these cellulose or wood
pulp yarns is called silvalln- During the
last ten years many similar processes have

ADDRESSED LARGE CROWD AT
CHAUTAUQUA TODAY.

OTTAWA. Kans., July s.-Thomas w.

at chautauqua assembly here this after
noon. He spoke of the system" Mr..
Lawson arrived today from Kansas City,
where he and William A. Jerome. district
attorney of New York city, were the guests
OF honor last night at the monthly dinner
of the Knife and Fork Club
Mr.. Lawson said In part:
L nave come to Kansas on a simple mis-
slOn-to point out to you that the American
people are being robbed. by whom how ana
what the consequences will be if the rob-
berry Is not stayed and an example made Of
the robbers
Mr. Lawson discussed at length the evils
of the system. and continued:
To-day at the helm of your affairs is an
able and fearless American, bold to con-
ceiFe and strong to execute. No man In
the country is more keenly aware of the
necessity of curbing the corporate despot-
ism under which we live But what can
President Roosevelt do? l hate to say It,
but ne Is as helpless In the systems s net

to his attention law must needs be
passed, the rebate evil must be curbed. and
he sends messages to Congress demanding
instant action. What happens? Congress
Temperatures; the Senate snubs him. and
the system smokers.
The surest, safest and most natural
process of restitution is the application of
the systems own methods to the 'SyS-
tenn The first step is for the American
people to divorce themselves from the 'sys-
tenn and sell every share of stock and
every bond they hold back to the frenzied
financiers at present inflated prices. Take
the money thus realized and place it in
government. state and municipal bonds
This, Mr.. Lawson said. would cause
collapse of the system" which would be
obliged to throw over the stocks and bonds
it carried. These stocks and bonds the
people could purchase, and, having only to
pay interest on their real values, could re-
duce rates of fare and freight and prices
generally. and the revolution would then
he comnlete.

South of the Japanese island OF Tori
Shima has sprung up new island, 4S0 feet

habitants of Two or Sulphur Island. a few
miles away. On November IA last they
were startled by strange rumblings Two
weeks later they saw great clouds of black

of black ash and steam. Next the sea ap-
peared as II II were on fire. Later 1t looked
as II there were three islands On Decem-
Der u, instead OF three Islands, one large
island was seen standing in the sea. From
day to day this changed in its configHration,
and those who watched 1t were anxious an
to what might happen next. Finally ten
mer set out in a thirty-foot boat and q
canoe. They reached the island on Feb

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The rage for collecting has grown steadily

that even suburban households want their

the result? The genuine article has become
correspondingly more expensive.
Perhaps of all frauds that of making an
tiQue furniture Is one OF the most success
full. so much that even experts are often
deceived. Austrian werlkmen are particu-
larly clever at this kind of work. Old
Sheffield plate Is another well-known fake.

in copper and then dipped-and. needless
to add shows the copper beneath after a
few earnest applications of brush and plate
powder. When you think how many years
the genuine Sheffield will wear and wash
and clean without showing the copper be-
meath, this seems particularly wicked and
vicious fraud on the collecting public. A
