DEWEY AND THE CABLES.

Took the Hint and Cut the Second
A. :
Admiral Dewey grew reminiscent as
the 1st of May rolled around this year.
He narrated to a number of friends
the manner in which he learned that
there were two cables. instead of one,
as he supposed, in Manila bay.
Il had found and cut one cable"
said the admiral, land thought that
ended the whole business, as far as
communication went, when a captain
of small boat, to whom had given
permission to carry out some refugees
from Manila, came on board to thank
me for the privilege accorded him. He
had made several hundred dollars out
OF the deal. I learned incidentally.
While on board he casually remarked:
"'Tengo .entendido cue listed ha
cortado un cable TELEGRAPH, Almi-
rante?' CI understand you have cut a
cable, admiralty e..
Il informed him that I had, and
when he innocently asked, Which
one?' I began to get busy, and it was
not half an hour until had the other
wire located and cut" - Harper's
Weekly.

Sick FROM GUNcoTT0N.

Frenchmen Threaten to Put the Silk
:. worm Out Of Business.
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
gunc0tton; which also serves as base
for the most powerful of modern ex-
plOsives.
>The viscous fluid from which the
sflkworm spins his thread is chemical
ly duplicated by process described
in the Technical World. The fabric
thus produced is inf1ammable, and in
order to remedy this defect it is treat
ed with an alkali sulphide solution.
The founders of the new industry
have kept in view not so much the
exact reproduction of natural silk as
the production of a substitute which:
embraces Its valuable properties.
Natural silk processes to large de-:
gree qualities of brtlliancy, elasticity,
strength, affinity for coloring and
bleaching materials. and when
handled peculiar rusthns sounds
known as >scroop of silk are. the. best
known ofits> qualities, and it is In
these two respects that artificial silk
most closely resembles natural, its
bri1liancy helm r $rreater, and its scr0on
slightly less -: - e Is: ;,

II IA r. 49, Of Diet. FL s,
Why the big hotels in Spain. do not
employ proper chefs, when they are SO
close to-. the doorway. of the cooking
school ofSthe world, it is. impossible to
conjecture, says Leslie's Weekly. In
France one lives to eat. Whatever
laudable purpose for visiting this ma
ton of chefs one may have had orig
inally, it soon becomes secondary, and
the hour for dejeuner assumes first i'm
portance In the daily. program. But
in Spain this is a function which, soon
ceases to be a pleasure. In fact, it
becomes an ordeal to a properly con-
stituted epicure that soon renders life
more Or less of burden. Eggs and
roast chicken, roast chicken and eggs,
will prolong life indefinitely, but there
is no sort of monotony more trying to
an imaginative soul, and its principal
variation in Spain comes in the way of
little hard, dry, saltless rolls, the like
of which were never baked outside of
Spain. Butter is a minus quantity al
together, and no foreigner ever in
dulges more than once in the luxury of
coffee and rolls in his room in the
morning. After one experience he al
ways HES him down to the dining
room and gets an omelet OF sorts.
Could anybody. ever forget that awful
slab of wet, finger-marksa, greasy-look
ing, strong, streaky, white butter: that
came up with the little hard roll that
memorable first morning? And in the
best hotel in town, too.
