New Tie Material

New lie material
An enterprising manufactures of this
city has introduced in the market an
innovation in cravat fabrics made of
artificial silk. This departure, it is
claimed, is destined to revolutio1lize
the sale of conventional materials. The
new ties are being displayed in most
of the stores and many Of them come
in Roman stripes. They are quite
popular. BY secret treatment the new
texture takes q wonderfully lustrOus
finish. more brilliant than real silk
admits of. After emerging from an
intricate process this composition of
fiber presents an artistic basket weave
effect. The color scheme offered COM
prises a range Of more than score

the novel cloth is the advantage in

SUPPLIES DURING A SIEGE.
Primitive lncubators Used When Glib
raltar Was Beleaguered.


raltar Was Beleaguered.
Some months after the siege OF Glib
raltar began Admiral Rodney reached
the rock with twenty-one ships Of the
line and brought in vast quantities
of supplies. In April, 1881, about a
year after Rodney's visit, Admiral
Darby, with the British grand feet,
also anchored at Gibraltar and
brought in supplies. On one occasion
a vessel from Naples was driven to
the rock with 5000 bushels Of barley,
which the garrison found Of unspeak-
able value. Then, too, while the bonn
bardment destroyed most of the
houses, the English found 1t possible
to raise large amounts OF vegetables
and garden supplies.
They even raised chickens, follow
ing out an original method OF incuba-
ticn, the forerunner of the process In
vogue today. Eggs were put In tin
cans and kept heated by water until
they Matched. In order to get the
brood cared for it was necessary to
take a capon, pull out the breast
feathers, scratch the fowls breast
with nettles until It bled and then
settle him upon the downy chicks.
The relief given the smarting wounds
by the soft down of the brood was so
great that adoption speedily followed.
