W. Strehlenert, of Djursholm, Sweden, for the manu- facture of vegetable silk. Excluding experiments. this industry is new in Sweden, and 1t is claimed that the silk manufactured from nitro.cellulose by MT. Strehlenerts method has just as fine an appearance and is just as strong or durable as natural silk, or even stronger. It is further stated that the silk has been tested or tried in Swedish or German cloth factories and that very favorable reports have been received about it.-Consular Re ports.

Where Slang Was Needed.

It was a language lesson. and the teacher had considerable trouble in making the boys understand the use of the word acceptance. He tried several words, calling upon his bright boys, but their explanations always left a feeling of uncertainty among other members of the class.
 It was quite clear that this word does not form part of an ordinary boys vocabulary, and to have it under stood it must be related to word which does belong there. Here was the psychological moment to use slang
 Boys" said the teacher. what is the general acceptance of twenty three?'
 "Skidoo!" was the prompt answer by the whole class. The meaning oi the word became clear at once.

and laboring morning and night with
the shovel, it will be possible soon
to turn on a faucet and let bucket
of coal run out, if the plans of DR..
George R. Nunelly succeed. DR..
Nunelly announced today that he had
it all figured out and demonstrated.
According to the inventor it will
be easy. Coal miners will disappear
Their places will be taken by men
who will spray the face of the coal
veins with a solution DR.. Nunelly
has invented. The coal, he says, will
be turned into liquid by this means
The liquid coal will be pumped to the
surface and stored in tanks. AS soon
as it is exposed to light and air, he
says, it will become hard.
Liquid coal will be piped, he says,
as oil now is, and will be distributed
to consumers in cities and towns as
gas is served.
DR.. Nunelly exhibited dark fluid
of about the consistency of mucilage,
which, when exposed to light and air,
gradually hardens. This, he said, was

Worst in Years
Albuquerque, N. M.-The worst
blizzard since the great storm of 1883
is general throughout New Mexico
tonight. A high wind is bringing a
general fall of sleet and snow through
ough the Grand valley and reports
tonight indicate that the losses to
sheep growers will be very heavy.
The storm began here about Z
o'clock Saturday morning with high
wind, which rapidly increased in ve-
locity until by o'clock the gale
had reached the proportions of tor
nado. The wind carried dense clouds
of sand and dust which developed
into rain and later with rapidly fall
ing temperature, into sleet and snow.
Tonight the snow is falling in blind
ing sheets and meager reports indi-
cate that it is much more severe in
the country. Telegraph and telephone
service is almost completely shut off
and railroad traffic is delayed. Some
minor damage has been done in AL
buquerkue, Las Vagas, Socorro and
smaller towns south of Albuquerque.

Bryan and LaFollette in Conference

Bryan and LaF GILLETTE in Conference
Milwaukee-The fact that Senator
LaFollette and William J. Bryan were
in consultation on Mr. Bryan's special
train yesterday has set the tongues
of the politicians wagging. Senator
LaFollette was in Watertown, it was
stated, to look at some Shetland po-
MES, but he returned to Madison on
the Bryan special What the two
talked about is unknown to anyone
except themselves. One of the ru
mors growing out of this meeting is
that Senator LaFollette and Mr. Bry-
an, whose views are SO near in COM
mon, may "mutualize" with other
leaders who hold the same views and
start a new party. One thing is GER
tain, the incident has not helped to
bring about harmony in the republican
party, the friendliness of Senator La
Toilette for Mr.. Bryan, after the lat
ter had attacked the republican state
ticket, being deeply resented, and
those opposed to Senator LaFollette
assert that he is laying out plan
for again getting control of the party
machinery.
