SILK FROM PINE TREES.
About Five Tons of Artificial Product
Are Manufactured.

About five Tons of Artificial Product
Are Manufactured.
About Ave tons of artificial silk are
now manufactured daily in Europe,
and the demand far exceeds the sup
ply. This is one OF the many mod
ern products cellulose, the wonderful
substance OF which the microscopic
cells Of plants are made. and which
composes about one-third of all the
vegetable and animal matter In the
world. Robert Kennedy Duncan, now
professor of industrial chemistry in
the University of Kansas, writing OF
"The Wonders of Cellulose' in Harp
er's Magazine for September, points
out its possibilities for the manufac-
turer. For instance, he writes: "a
pine tree is worth $40 a ton; cut and
stripped it is worth SIS; boiled into
pulp it is worth $40: bleached, it is
worth 355: which, turned into viscose
and spun into silk, is worth $500"
Prof. Duncan argues for a closer
working relation between the tech
nical departments of the universities
and the manufacturer who stands ig-
norantly at the door of great indus
trial developments which can only ar
rive by the aid of modern chemistry.

the young woman in tone OF polite
that the pilot doesn't cross the ocean

This Class Keeps Out Heat.
An Austrian inventor, Richard Sdig-
mondy, is reported to have made a
new kind of window glass whose chief
popularity is that it prevents the
passage Of nine-tenths of the heat of
the suns rays.
1t is well known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the
heat derived from the sun to pass
through, but, on the other hand, inter-
cepts all heat coming from non-lumin-
heated ground. This is the reason
why heat accumulates under the glass
roof of dollhouse.
If covered with Szigmondy's glass
dollhouse would, it is claimed, become
a cold house, since the heat could get

Britons Growing More Sober.

There is solid evidence that Great
Britain is drinking less alcohol. In
the last six year The population of the
United Kingdom has increased about
100000, but the annual consumption
OF beer has decreased by nearly $780,
900 barrels. The number of the in
habitants has become about 8 per
cent larger, while the quantity of beer
used has grown nearly Z Per cent less.
In the sare six years the annual de-
crease in the consumption Of spirits
has teen about 10 per cent This far
reaching change ia the direction Of
temperance has been eoincident with
noteworthy revival of British trade
and industry. The lessening of the
consumption of strong drink has been
accompanied by a marked increase in
national prosperity.

Principle That c!1ouId Regulate the
Charges OF Medical Men.
A doctors bill Of $25.000 for seven
days attendance on the late Marshall
Field strikes some observers as more
generous than it should be, and is the
subject of sonne current comment in
the news papers. The whole subject of
extra-be doctors bills is an active,
and rather a sore, one with laity, who
grope rather blindly after the general
principle that regulates, or should
regulate, the dealings of medical men
with rich patients Legitimate oppor-
tunitiss Of b,aekmail used to be hui
morously included among the attrae-
tons of the profession of journalism.
Perhaps they belong to the profession
OF medicine also. No one can say
that it was not worth $4,000 to the
late Mr. Field to command for a week
tho services Of the physician whom
he wanted. From that point Of view
the doctors charge may seem not IN
reasonable, but whether it was con-
sistent with a doctors dignity to lift
$4,000 out of a deceased patients es-
tate for a weeks work remains still to
be discussed. Perhaps the doctors
idea was that the Field estate needed
treatment, and that to relieve it law
fully Of even $4,000 was a useful
medical service. There is some merit
in that idea. Let us hope the I'LL will
be paid.-Harper's Weekly.

women were taken down stairs on lad
ders by the firemen from the fifth floor.
They were all revived in a short time.

Centerview, MO.-The apparent
shortage in the defunct Bank of Cen
terview has, with investigation, grown
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Cashier Delaney was guardian OF
minors estates amounting to $4,000
p Most OF this money is u~naccOunted
for. Several persons report that they
paid notes held in the bank and that
the cashier promised to destroy the
notes when he had time. One man
complains that two $500 notes which
the bank still holds against him were
paid some time ago. Several widows
declare they left money with the cash
Ter to be loaned and trusted him so
much that they did not even take a
receipt for it.
Delaney was supposed to be worth
between $4,000 and 100000. Not a
cent of these assets can be located.
The home he occupied is worth about
$4,000 and is in his wife's name.
Attorneys who have looked into the
banks affairs declare that it will pay
a large per cent. of the deposits, but
that the stockholders will lose all.
The bank was capitalized at SIS, 900 and
the shares were selling at $175, or SIS

der of the Christmas family, new and
sensational developments have been
brought to light, through the medium
of a detective, his assistant, a ventrilo-

in the woods in the guise of an escaped
murderer from Georgia, and hiring a
negro to bring him his meals.
He suspected the negro knew some
thing of the crime, and with the aid Of
a concealed ventriloquist talked to the
negro through a mule. The negro's SUI
perstition was aroused, and it is al
legged he told the details of the murder
to the mule. The arrest of Will Christ
mas and Walter Holland followed.
The murder Of the Christmas family
was zone of the most atrocious murders

Conditions Are Good.
w York.-BradStreet's regular

New York.-Bradstreet's regular
weekly review says:
The widespread winter storm has
delayed the opening of spring trade
at retail, causing complaint Of bad
roads and interruption to personal
buying at leading jobbing centers. On
the other hand, the benefits of accom-
panying heavy SHOWS and rain to the
crops probably far outweighed the
damage due to this aus or injury
caused to small fruit and fruit inter-
ests by the freezing weather. Whole
sale trade and industry show no signs
of hesitation and ever the building
trades have given little heed to the
temporary weather set back, in view
of the immense business for spring
and summer Offering The threatened
coal strike is still a flaw In the situa
ton, but signs of the conflict being
localized are seen and a general sus-
pension of all work is secuted.

Manila, p. Further official investi-
CATION develops that many women and

against Moro outlaws on Mount Daio
recently. Those killed were killed at
long range and by shell fire.
The attack was delayed six months
while Gov. Scott was e~ndeavoring to
persuade the outlaws to surrender. All
overtures were scorned, and the defiant
attitude of the leaders of the outlaws
and the Arab priests persuaded their
followers that the government would be
unable to dislOdge them from their fort
ress within two years.
Leading Moros, in their desire for the
determination of the outlaws, aided the
troops in the fight. Two hundrc | Mo-
ros, under the direction Of leading dat
toS, formed columns and carried water
to the troops. The reports of company
and troop commanders to Maj.-Gen.
Wood show that every effort was made
to save ONE and children. After the
fight was owe Gen. Wood ordered sup
plies and assistance sent to the women
and children remaining alive in the
crater.
The sultan and principal dattos are
still congratulating Gen. Wood on the
killing of the outlaws, which made pos
siblc the filling Of the fields.

UNDER MIGHTY AVALANCHE
At Least One Life Lost and Terrible
~truct at Camp Bird Mine,
Near Ouray, Col.

Ouray, Col.-An almost unprecedented
snow slide in the Mount Sneffels dis
triCt, six miles south of Ouray, Satur-
day night, wrecked the Camp Bird mine
mill, tram house, boarding house and
reading room. William Cressey is
known to have been killed, and it is
feared that other lives were lost. A
number of men, it is reported, were Sc
riously injured. The property loss is
estimated at from $500, 900 to $500, 900.
The Camp Bird bunk house, adjoining
the reading room, which vas wrecked,
narrowly escaped being engulfed and
crushed. There were about $50 miners
and mill employees in this building when
the slide came down. The residence of
General Manager Cox also escaped de-
StructiOn by a narrow margin. The
slide had largely spent it's force be-
fore reaching the assay shops and gen.
eral Offices of the Camp Bird mine.
