SILK FROM GuNcoTTON.
Frenchmen Threaten to Put the Silk
worm Out Of Business.

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
guncotton; which also serves as base
for the most powerful of modern ex-
plosives.
The viscous fluid from which the
sill1worm spins his thread is chemical
ly duplicated by a process described
in the Technical World. The fabric
thus produced is inflammable, and in
order to remedy this defect it is treat
ed with an alkai 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 brilliancy, elasticity,
strength, affinity for coloring and
bleaching materials. and when
handled a peculiar rustling sound,
known as scroop of silk are the best
known of it's qualities, and it is in
these two respects that artificial silk
most closely resembles natural, its
brilliancy being greater and it's scroop
slightly less.

English Spoken From Ore End Of Uni
ted States to the Other.
Wherever we may have been born
we use and accept as ours one Ian
guage from the Atlantic to the Pacific:
it is hard, therefore, for us to realize
that in some parts of Europe the real
language of the country is confined
to the use of the peasant population
In parts of Belgium, for instance
Flemish is used by the workmen'
servants, cabmen and the poorest
classes. French is the speech of the
rest of the population. The street
signs are printed in both. In Finland
the peasants speak only Finnish. In
the towns Swedish (Which has no rela,
ton whatever to Finnish) is spoken,
whereas the official language of the
courts is Russian. Cultivated Firms
depend for their literature largely
upon the outside world and are. there
fore. conversant with English, French
and German.
Germany is fairly uniform in speech,
but there are 100000 Wends living
in or near the fens and forests Of the
upper Spree. These have kept their
national customs and their Slavic
speech, despite the progress Of the
modern Germans around them. They
publish six journals.
Although in America we have large
numbers of people whose mother
tongue is one of the more difficult and
rarer languages. this class OF the pop
ulation is not very apparent in our
national life.
1t is interesting to note that Rus
sian paper appears in New York, three
Swedish ones in Chicago, one in
Brooklyn, one in Salt Lake City, a
Slovakian monthly in Pittsburg, a
Slovenian weekly in Tower, Mimi, a
Hungarian weekly in Cleveland, Nor
wegian biweekly in Chicago and a
Danish weekly in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

HOW A GREAT WORK BEGAN

At II, With No Capital, Sophie Wright
Started Her First School.
There Is encouragement for some
one in every act Of Sophie Wright's
life, says J. L.. Mathews in Everybody's
for July. That first school of hers may
serve as an inspiration to every girl
looking about for some field of work
to enter in order to help others or her
self. Tiny, crippled almost beyond en-
durance, herself only an Eighth grad
err living in city where women OF
quality did not commonly work, this
14-year-old girl undertook the task
with no hesitation and with big ant1c-
ipation. She borrowed some unused
benches from public school building
to fill room of her mothers cottage,
and on the door hung out her sign:
DAY School for Girls" The terms
were so cents a month for each pupil.
The school was from necessity de-
signed for those who had not yet at
tanned to eighth-grade standards. It's
mistress still wore her skirts short
and her hair in two comical twin
bra1ds which stuck out oddly behind
her head. And yet it succeeded, as
with her everything has succeeded. A
pupil came at once, and with an as
sured income of so cents month Miss
Sophie announced her intention of sup
porting herself and helping the family.
Before the end of the first year she
was doing SO, with twenty pupils and
the fabulous income of $40 every four
weeks.
