CLOTHES MADE FROM WOOD
Strong Probability of the Future, Ac-
cording TO Technical
Authority.

1T will probably not be very long
before we can go into one of the dry
goods stores and say to a clerk: Let
me see what you have In the line OF
wooden suits He may reply: Hard
or soft?' whereupon 1t will be our part
to specify that we want suit of good
pine, without any cheap sapwood.
Vests of this kind are already worn by
the carding-room foremen In some OF
the woolen mills. The material re-
sembles a stiff, thick cloth. and is ap-
parently as durable as leather. II is
not improbable that in the future
cheap suits. costing about SO cents,
and guaranteed to last for years, Will
be made of spruce or pine. Napkins.
shirts, collars OF the finest quality have
long been made from the fiber OF
hemp; and, in using wood for heavier
cloth. the process is equally simple.
The wood is first ground into soft
pulp, and this pulp is pressed through
holes in iron plates. II comes out In
long ropes about one-half inch In diam
eter. These ropes. which are very cas-
lily broken at this stage, are dried, and
then twisted tightly, till finally they
become as small as threads. Part of
the threads are used for the warp and
part for the filing. out of which a
strong web of wooden cloth is woven" !"

FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST.
Chinaman Carried Correspondent
Through Country Bristling
with Dangers.

The route led directly through the
heart of the "Hung-hutze" country,
which was at that time in state of
disorder, writes T. F. Millard. in the
New Far East. AS | had no passport
to travel in that locality, was forced
to conceal myself in one of those In
struments of torture known as a
Peking cart. my luggage occupying an
other. The arrangements were made
by Christian friend of mine in Muk-
den, who committed me to the care Of
an old carter, with instructions for him
to get me across the border. We left
Mukden just before the dawn one
morning, finally arriving safely in
neutral territory. Two nights I slept
II would have been a simple matter for
them to have made away with me and
seized my effects and my carriers could
have easily betrayed me without fear
of detection. But such was my conf
dence in the integrity of the Chinese
that did not feel the slightest uneasi-
ness. although | was entirely unarmed.
During the entire trip | was compelled
to trust absolutely to the old carter,
not being able to hold any communica-
tion with him, as he did not under
stand word of English or any other
foreign language, and | cannot speak
Chinese. He showed great cleverness
in getting me across the Liao river,
past the Cossack border guards, with
out being detected; and when We ar
rived at Sinmintin he seemed even
more pleased than myself, and refused
to accept any remuneration in excess
Of the sum agreed upon.
