Women seized their children and

When the first bullet struck Markell

The Transforming Power Of life.

The Arabs have a saying about the
palm tree, that il stands with it's
feet in salt water and its head in the
sun. They often cannot drink the
brackish water found in the oasis
where the palm grows. but they tap
the tree and drink the sweet palm
sap.
The palm tree by the magic of it's
inner life can so change the elements
found in the unkindly soil around
1t that they minister to it's growth
and strength and fruit-bearing. So
We in our earthly life must often have
our feet in the mire and bitterness
of sin around us; and upon our heads
will often beat the fierce heat OF
temptation. But in spite of these
things we shall be able to grow and
grow strong, If within there is the
making of a new life through Jesus
Christ.-Bible Advocate.

Washington, ID. c. - Miss Helen
Bell, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
j. Bell, has just returned from an
eventful winter in India. the most
thrilling episode of which was a night
alone in the jungle.
Miss Bell left here early in the
winter to spend several months in In
dia with English friends, Mr.. and
Mrs Arthur f. Hopkins. Part of the
time Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins and their
party, including Miss Bell, were camp
ing near Hyderabad and hunting big
game.
The men of the party started out
on hunt one morning, and toward
night Miss Bell rode out from camp
TO meet them. She missed the trail
after a few miles and soon found her
self getting further into the heart of
the Jungle and unable to get her bear

Alone with only her horse and n

GIRL VICTIM OF
TIGER IS DEAD
Panic in Tents When Enraged
Animal Charged on Crowd
and Attacked Ponies.

Twin Falls, Tdaho-Four-year
Ruth Rozell, who was attacked by a
Royal Bengal tiger which escaped
from It's cage at the performance OF
the Sells-Floto circus here, has died
from her injuries. Mrs. RoZell. the
mother of the child who was knocked
down and badly shaken by the tiger,
is overcome with grief and the shock
of her experience. Thus far no Grim
inal action has been brought against
the circus management and, while
the panic following the breaking of
the animal from its cage and the en-
suing tragedy are the sole topic OF
conversation, there has been no dem
onstration made against the circus
by citizens because of the unfortunate
occurrence.
The tiger charged into the crowd.
killing the little girl and a Shetland
pony, and mauled several other spec
tators and ponies before IL was shot
and killed by man in the audience.
For few moments there was a panic
in the menagerie and women screamed
and tainted. The elephants tugged
at their chains and trumpeted wildly.
and there was great commotion until
the tiger rolled over dead in front OF
the main entrance.
Hundreds were in the menagerie
tent at the afternoon performance
when the time came for feeding the
animals. Markell. the tiger, and his
mate, Agnes, had been restless for
some time. At the sight Of the meat
Markell beat furiously with his paws
on the door of the cage. The door
gave way, and the tiger sprang from
his cage to the neck OF a Shetland
pony fifteen feet away.
The tigers Keeper seized bar and
struck the animal between the eyes
Markell released his grip on the pony's
neck and leaped upon the back OF an
other pony. Again the keeper felled
him with the iron, and he relinquished
his hold Of the second pony only to
seize a third. Another stiff blow from
the iron drove the tiger from his
prey and he leaped into the crowd.
The tent was we'll filled, and the
people fled i'm every direction, most
of them crowding out under the can
vas. one woman scrambled to the
top of an animal cage and refused to
come down until long after the tiger
was killed.
Shrill cries from the frightened ele-
phants aroused the keepers to furth-
er activity. The guns kept by the
keepers for emergencies were seven
ty-five feet away, and had they been

ARTIFICIAL SILK.
A Strong, Lustrous Fibre Derived
From Wood Pulp.

Two different products are now
sold as substitutes for silk. One is
"merceriZed" cotton, which has fine
gloss. The other is pure wood, treat
ed with chemicals so that IL can be
spun. The second article is an in
vention Of a Frenchman named Char
donnier, and is now being made in
several European countries. Cloth
and ribbons made of it have the
lustre OF silk, but they lack the
strength and elasticity Of the material
of which they are an imitation, and
are highly inflammable. An official
report from England, where 1t is said
that $250,000 was paid for the privi-
lege OF working under the original
patents. supplies these details of the
methods OF manufacture:
Wood pulp, like that employed in
the production OF paper, is imported
from Norway. It comes In dry sheets,
four feet square. Having been re-
duced TO thin paste called "viscose"
by certain chemicals, IL Is forced
through a series OF microscopic holes.
four one-thousandths of an inch In
diameter, punched through a thin
platinum plate. A setting" bath
(acld) then hardens the filaments so
that they can be twisted together to
form a workable thread. Uusually
either sixteen or thirty-two of these
filaments go to form what may be
termed the Single" yarn. The spin
ming spindle, which Is weighty af-
fair of some ninety ounces, is gear
driven at 5000 revolutions a minute,
and carries "cup" into which the
yarn is collected in the form of a
small cheese"
There will shortly be introduced
an improved spindle weighing but
thirty ounces, which 1t is expected can
be successfully driven at the rate OF
5000 revolutions a minute. A later
arrangement for feeding the wis
cose" through the microscopic holes
enables a varying pressure 70 be ex-
erted on the liquid. and by this con-
trivance different counts of yarn can
be made than could be conveniently
produced by the older arrangement
OF increasing or decreasing the num-
ber OF component filaments in the
finished thread.
Aside from the apparatus for treat
Ing the pulp prior to spinning. the
spinning machines are in themselves
costly. the present price per spindle
being $25, the average production

ute of thread having two and a half
turns Of twist to the inch. SO far as
British experience is concerned the
OF the work has been
most expensive. Starting with the
accumulated knowledge Of the Con-
tinental producers has not prevented
comparatively enormous sums being
expended in simplifying complicated,
though somewhat crude, mechanism
and simplifying chemical processes
and standardizing the quantities and
qualities of the ingredients en-
ployed.
The single yarn. bleached and
dyed, is put up in three, qualities, A,
B and G., and is sold In the hank at
S1.20, $1.32 and $1.44 a pound, the
cost to the manufactures Of the arti-
fetal yarn averaging seventy-fve
cents a pound. One-third goes for
raw material and chemicals, one
third for labor, supplies and power.
and one-third covers interest, depre-
citation, selling and other general ex-
penses.
