Explosive Gowns

Science which lately furnished a
mechanical substitute for the horse,
has now set about putting the lowly
silk worm out of business writes
Clarence Hutton, in Technical World
Magazine.
Almost unknown in the United
States, the manufacture of artificial
silk has been on a commercial basis
in France for several years, the daily
production being now about seven
TONS
In forming a chemical compound
corresponding to the viscOus fluid out
of which the silkworm spins his deli
cate thread, the French chemists
strangely enough, that the best sub
stitute was a solution of gun-cotton,
which also serves as the basis for the
most powerful and deadly of modern
explosives To what extent this gun
cotton silk is relieved of it's explo-
sive qualities before being woven in
to laces and dress fabrics, seems to
be somewhat questionable. Certain
ly a young woman gowned in gun
cotton and wearing dainty nitro
glycerine wrap about her white shoul-
ders, would be most formidable, not
to say dangerous object. If the new
fabric ever becomes popular in this
country it will plainly be necessary
to warn young men not to approach
its wearers with lighted cigarettes or
other combustible in their hands. And
Snarkinp will become q most hazard

READING MADE EASY

In study of the physiological as
pect of reading the curious fact has
been brought out that the character
istfc features of letters are found for
the most part in the upper halves SO
that as the readers attention is here
directed he is often able to read a
line with the lower half of the letters
covered. It has, accordingly, occurred
to some French scientists that some
considerable Improvements could be
made in Typography, working along
these lines, and that increased legi-
bility and rapidly of reading would
result. Some of these suggestions
have received practical application
in some European advertising signs,
where legibility is a prime essential,
and the results have been most salts

Divorce Among the Burmese

The marriage customs of the Bur-
mese are simple in the extreme. A
man and woman are married or are
not married, according to whether
they live as husband and wife or not.
A man may have several wives, though
in practice he rarely has more than
one
A woman may have only one hus-
band. Divorce is a matter for the vii
lage elders. No court is necessary,
no decree or appeal to legal or &C.
clesiastical authority. Divorce is but
the breaking of status. A wife re-
tains control of all her property when
married; she has half share in all
property acquired during marriage.
If she is divorced she takes her own
property and half that jointly &C.
CURED There is no blending of her
She may do what she will with her
own.
There is no rule of primogeniture
and no power of bequeathing property
by testament All the children in
herit equally. No Buddhist makes a
will. Whatever a man or a woman
dies possessed of must be divided,
according to the rules of consang-
unity. There is no preference of eth
er sex. All children are equal in this
matter. The eldest son shares alike
with the youngest daughter.-Lahore
Tribune.
