Artificial Silk.

Science threatens to put the silk
worm out of business. French chem
lists have discovered at least three dis
tinct methods of competing with the
old reliable but extremely deliberate
silkworm.
Perhaps the most interesting OF
these Is the manufacture Of silk from
guncotton, which also serves as base
for the most powerful Of modern ex-
plosives.
The viscous fluid from which the
silkworm spins his thread Is chemi-
cally duplicated by a process describ-
ed in The Technical World. The fab
ric thus produced is infiammable, and
in order to remedy this defect 1t Is
treated with an alkali sulphide solu-
ton.
The founders Of the new industry
have kept In view not so much the
exact reproduction Of natural silk as
the production OF a substance which
embraces it's valuable properties.
Natural silk possesses to a large de-
gree qualities OF brilliancy, elasticity
strength, affinity for coloring ano
bleaching materials, and when hand
led a peculiar rustling sound, known a:
scroop. Perhaps the brilliancy AND
scroop of silk are the best known ol
its qualities, and it Is in these two
| respects that artificial silk most close
ly resembles natural, its brilliancy be-
ing greater and its scroop slightly less

THE FIRST AIR BRAKE.
The Youthful Inventor Had Hard Work
to Get IL Tried

Persons who should have known
better. thought Westinghouse vision
ary when they were told that he pro-
posed to stop train by air.
Nobody seemed inclined TO let him
try his plan on a real train, but they
did not object to his working model
of it in a shop where he could do no
harm or involve anybody else in ex-
pense.
He knew his scheme would work,
but he could not make any one else
believe in it. So he continued to sell
his invention for replacing der1iled
cars on the tracks and to talk about
the brake to any railroad man who
was willing to listen.
well, have you ever stopped a
train with this air thing of yours?''
they would ask.
No, he couldn't say that he had
done so. Nobody would let MIN try
it, even on a train of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg
selling his other invention and talking
about his brake notion to a man con-
nected with a railroad out there.
That's a great idea of yours" said
the man; I'VE will try it on our linen
SO the officials of this road permit
ted Westinghouse to put his new kick
shaw on one of their trains. He mad
to agree to indemnify the road for any
damage that might be caused TO the
train as the result of his trials.
The train was equipped. On the
designated day the confident inventor
and a group of skeptical railroad men
boarded the train on which the first
air brakes were fixed.
Off went the train on its initial trip
The engineer put on full speed, and
just as he had rounded a curve he saw
ahead. at grade crossing, and in the
middle of the track, a loaded wagon
a man and a boy. and a balky horse
The engineer moved his little lever
and the first train that was ever stop
ped by air pulled up at a standstilI
several feet short of the obstruction.
Thus, on its first trial. the Westing-
house air brake saved life and pre-
vented damage to property. Thence
ford talking was unnecessary; all that
had to be done was to make brakes.
The inventor thought of that clause
securing compensation to the railroad
for any damage he might do to ,he
train, and he laughed.
His fortune dated from that day.
He was then only twenty-five. sue

GASTON.

Gastonia Gazette, July 20: The state
ment of the Bank of Glover, which we
are glad to print today, makes good
reading. 1t is not yet six months old
but is able to show nearly $4,000 of
deposits. 80. Mr.. Jonas Jenkins will
be ninety-seven years old next Sunday.
He has planned to have a family re-
union on the Saturday before, which
is tomorrow. His pastor, Rev. w.
II. Reddish, with Mrs. Reddish and
few other outside friends have been
invited to be present on the happy
occasion. A very pleasant reunion
was held last year, and Mr.. Jenkins
this year seems as hale and hearty
as ever. ..... Little Mary, the seven
year old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. A. Leonard, died Tuesday night.
The entire family had been afflicted
with measles. All were getting well,
including the little girl. who was dis
charged by the physician the day be-
fore her death. She seemed to be get
ting along favorably enough when she
was taken suddenly i'll and died. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. ]. A. Hoyle and were followed by
the burial at the city cemetery. .... 1t
was charged in the pulpits of Gasto-
mia last Sunday that the laws against
gambling and selling whiskey were
notoriously violated in this communi-
ty. What is the matter with the mu-
nicipal administration of Gastonia ?
If it knew about violations of the law
why didn't it make ali effort to dis
cover and punish the offenders? If
it didn't know about them until the
ministers raised their voices, why has
it allowed nearly week to pass with
out asking the ministers to come into
court, name their men, and make good
their charges? These are some ques-
tions which might be considered with
profit at the mass meeting tonight.

"At other times the natives take
the shark with a spear. Diving to a
favorable spot in four or five fathoms
of water, the diver places himself In
a half crouching posture against a
large coral rock and waits for the
shark to appear.
when it comes swimming along
the diver darts the spear into a vital
spot, If possible. Should he fail to
kill the fish with the spear he watches
his opportunity and completes the
operation with his knife, fearlessly
engaged in close quarters.
