NEW FIBER PLANT.

being so tenacious that If the leaf is simply
twisted into a rope it will bear the strain
of several hundredweight. 1t is now found
that there is growing around Brisbane a
fiber plant called by botanists "murva"
that will yield fiber of great value. Major
Boyd of the Agricultural Department
retted some "murva' leaves and sent a
sample OF the fiber TO a rope-making firm
in Germany for test, and these manufac-
turers are now prepared to purchase it at
S175 to $500 per ton
This plant, with its tall, notified leaves.

Brisbane as ornamental pot plant can
very easily be cultivated. 1t can be propa-
gated by cuttings of the leaves, and grows
quickly. 1t can be mown down like lucerne

the next crop The average yield is at least
Ave tons per acre. and IL the cost of plant

Of the fiber obtained nearly $500 per acre
might be netted. To start such a new
industry may require considerable courage
but the risk of loss would be trifing and
the profits worth while.

Why Hair Becomes Gray.
From St. Nicholas.

tfptl 81 N3choiaS-
The color of the hair depends on little
granules. which can be seen If the hair be
examined under powerful microscope
Sometimes the hair may become white in
a night. Brown-Sequard tells us that when
he was forty-five years old his beard turn
ed white In two days. This took place
when he was perfectly well, and without
any special cause. Sometimes however.
sorrow or Illness produces the change
earlier In life than it would usually take
place. AS TO the cause, some have said
that the hair becomes filed with small air
particles which make 1t look gray; others
have said that the outer part of the hair
becomes altered. so that it IS like ground
glass and you cannot see the color
But a man by the name of Metchnikoff
tells us that the real reason is because
small movable bodies In the hair devour the
grains of coloring matter and move them
to the root OF the hair. Sometimes poisons
in disease or some results OF sorrow bring
about an effect upon these small migra ting
bodies (cellsl, causing them to become act
i've in the above fashion. That is said to
be the reason why hair grows gray.

AN ALUMINIUM FAMINE.
Only Three Sources of Supply at the
Present Time

The world is suffering at present from an
aluminium famine, according to a report
to the Department of Commerce and
Labor. There are at present but three
sources Of supply-an American company
operating at Niagara Falls. a British com
pany at the Falls of Foyer. and the Neu-
hausen works in Switzerland. There has
been rapid Increase in the use OF the
metal with the sudden expansion of the
automobile trade, and the market price of
ingots is nomnally 1850 ton. or 600 more
than last July. But this quotation is
purely nominal. because there is none of
the metal to be had. The conditions in
the United States We're aggravated by a
strike, and when the American contractors
tried to cover In the English and European
markets they found there was none of the
metal to he had.
Aluminium has come into very general
use IN automobile construction, as well as
In many parts OF engine work. 1t is used
by large factories for cooking pots and
pans Of ali sorts, and is capable of use in
almost any place where brass has been
used, having in addition to other desirable
qualities, about one-third the weight of
brass. The wire IS used In this country
now for the transmission of electricity for
power and light, the cables from New
York 10 Niagara being of this metal. But
this development has not yet been taken up
abroad.

Rainfall and Tree Growth.

From Harper's Weekly.
y report has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth OF
trees IS dependent upon rainfall Not only
was this seen IN the case of one and two
year old trees but in an investigation ex-
tending over period Of twelve years. dur
ing which time the annual rings of growth
were carefully examined. With an annual
precipitation of from thirty to thirtyfive
inches a width of ring was produced vary
ing from IL to Is Inch. If, on the other
hand there was either an unusually large
or small rainfall in any given year this
was followed by a corresponding tree
growth In the following year.

them:

In the county Jail in this city for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
asks that his sentence be extended

when released he will do violence to

having been in prison, he is branded
