Cold Medal for Maryland To-
bitcO.

1t is probably unknown to Marylandcrs
generally that IA specimen of tobacco from
this State was awarded the gold medal for
excellence ut the Lewis and Clark Expo
sitiun held last summer at Portland, Ore
The award came as a great surprise to
the exhibitor, DR.. Allan WEIGH Smith, Il
former Calvert cuuntian, who had receiv-
ed the specimen for smoking purposes
from his brother, Mr.. f. o. Smith, dep
uty inspector at Warehouse No. 4, in
Baltimore. DR.. Smith, upon receiving the
tobacco, which was branded as Maryland
Leaf and "Nigger Twist" was prompted
to exhibit the same at the fair merely be-
Cause of the fact that there were no spec
linens in the tobacco department from his
native State-Maryland. The tobacco
was exhibited in the midst of some of the
best known brands of the Southern States,
and with no idea of even getting special
mention,

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Ten years ago scientists estimated
Germany's coal reserves at only 1O9. 900
million tons. They are nov calculated
to amount to 100000 million tons. so
great has been the increase of known
coal deposits. Reports from other
countries are equally encouraging.
That lime can be successfully burned
in rotary kilns fired with producer gas
has been demonstrated at Natural
Bridge. N Y, where the New York
Lime Company has recently put in sue
cessful operation a 100 by 6-foot rotary
kiln. The gas is of the high quality
made by the Morgan continuous gas
producer, with automatic feed.

WHAT SHOULD A YOUNG MAN Do.

Popular Mechanics has been running
a very interesting symposium on the
subject of what calling a young man
should follow in life, and It is crafty
ing to find that those who know most
about the various trades each urge
young men to enter them. For exam
pie. Angus Sinclair, Editor Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, is strongly of
the opinion that the best field for a
young man is that of running a loco
motive He says that there are few
lines of work where the faculty Of con-
hand is so valuable as in that of run
ming a locomotive, and he says that he
knows of no pleasanter business for a
man who will devote himself to it and
acquire a mastery of it than that of
running a locomotive. He was 30 years
of and on an engineer, and has been ia
many other occupations. but in none of
them has he enjoyed his work so much
as on an engine.
H r. Clissold. Editor The Bakers
Helper. Chicago, thinks that the bak-
ing business is one of particular at
tractiyeness and benefit TO young men.
1t is not mint nor is the baker liable
to make great strikes, but il gives d
chance for intelligent methods, proper
enterprise and plain common sense,
which viii bring him in regular and
reasonable profits.

SPIDER SILK.
Development of the Production In NADIA
gascnr.

The French are much encouraged by
the Development of the spider-silk in
dustry in Madagascar. There are many
difficulties in the way of obtaining
spider silk, but also there are many
advantages over the silk worm and its
products. The. spider is an eccentric
little beast. and does all sorts of ag-
gravating things. especially when it is
attempted to make her pursue regular
and Industrious habits. AS is usual in
the insect world the female is much
the superior She is very much larger
stronger and iIl-tempered than the
male, whom she frequently kills and
devours She does not confine her at
tacks to her own family, but is prone
to make meal upon relatives who
visit her and strangers that are way
farerS on her road. To get the silk il
is necessary that the thread be drawn
from the body of the spider and not
spun into a web. In order to accom-
pIish this satisfactorily, the Madagascar
spiders are housed in a peculiar way,
both at the school and at the factory.
Comfortable and scientific homes, which
greatly resemble a case of pigeonholes.
have been built for them. Into each
compartment is placed a spider, and
far from showing any sign of loneli-
ness. they seem to enjoy. their lofty
ieclusion, for they spin quite content
eUly IN lhelr separate compartments,
when in the mood. but sudden, un-
usual noise or a decided change in the
weather will be sufficient to send them
all into sulks and stop their looms.
When healthy and happy. one spider
will yield about 1900 yards of silk a
month, given one winding each week.
If taxed to their fullest capacity for
longer than three months at time,
they weaken and die from overwork.
The Madagascar girls have a delicate
but sure touch. One girl usually works
one entire box of % spiders at a time.
This is done by lightly touching each
insect in turn, then slowly and evenly,
without trembling or jerky movements.
the hand. The fine, silky
thread clings to the fingers and is car
ried TO n mechanical twiSter from which
Il is sent to a wheel, and from here the
spinning goes on in the usual manner.
The thread thus obtained from the

The Pupyrus Ebers.

Carl II. Won Klein, A. NJ, NJ. D.,
Chicago, ILL.,, has issued in a neat lit
tie pamphlet the result of his studies
OF the medical features of the famous
Papyrus Ebers, which is one of the
most important finds of recent years.
1t was a well-preserved papyrus roll
found between the legs of a mummy,
and after it was carefully unrolled.
transcribed and translated by the most
eminent Egyptian scholars it was found
tn be a compendium of the knowledge
Of the Egyptians on medical and an
atomical subjects. The Papyrus was
probably written about 1852 b. c.. but
ii is a reproduction of other works,
which extend back probably thousands
os years before that. 1t shows that the
Egyptians had a very extensive knowl-
edge Of medicine and anatomy. and

shows that Mo- knew of the facts it
