SWEETS MADE OF WASTE.
Cotton Mill Refuse Furnishes Mater
iaI for CONNECTIONS,


iaI for CONNECTIONS.
The last place one would expect to
find material wherewith to compound
"a toothsome sweetmeat would be a
cotton mill. Yet the used-up pickers
which have been discarded from the
spinning looms form the basis of GER
tain widely-popular jujubes or pas
titles.
These pickers consist of long strips
OF hide studded with wire teeth, set
like the wires of metallic hair brush.
After a time the pickers become
clogged with fluff, dirt and grease and
are then replaced by new ones. Until
quite recently the discarded pickers
were consigned to the waste heap;
now they form the staple OF a profit
able industry. The hide is separated
from the wire and freed from grease
and dirt; the gelatine is then ex-
tracted and purified combined with
glucose or sugar, coloring and flavor
ing. and sent forth to the lovers of
sweetmeats in a variety of tasty con-
fections What left the mill for tho
waste heap returns as a dainty. tempt
ing jujube. Verify. these CONNECTIONS
created out of the refuse of a cotton
mill, may be regarded as the grub,
ichrysalis and butterfly of the work
Ja-day world.

chance and was UP on his feet again.
at happened like this. The moose
after gorirg for some minutes backed
away and appeared about TO rush on
the ether animal in one last big effort
to finish him. He backed too far
though. and the caribou managed TO
get into the wood Here he had 1t on
his big enemy, and although It SEEM
cd to me that his plan TO force the
moose into the brush ahead of him
had failed. he quickly fooled me.
That moose was frenzied. He
shook his great ugly head, stamped
and snorted. hesitated a minute, then
charged.
well, you know when moose goes
in the brush he lays his head back
until his antlers are almost fiat on
his shoulders so as to avoid the
branches This fellow charged head
down into a wood where the trees
were only few feet apart and struck
one of them full tilt
The jar was too much. !. He fell.
and while he was trying TO get up
and get his horns out OF a tangle OF
FIR and pine branches that little carl
bou was on him again. He got the
moose fairly in the middle this time
and punctured him.i
THE moose got his horns free OF
the green and tried TO get at him
again, but again those pine branches
inteIfered and the snow he shook OF
the trees was falling into his eyes.
He made one more rush. again struck
tree and again that caribou hit him.
The last wound was too much for
the moose He was bleeding badly
and staggered to his feet again, bent
only on getting away from his savage
little enemy. Throwing khis antlers
back he started off through the woods,
smashing down branches and young
shrubs as he ran. with the other anil

"He only went few feet and ran
after the two. Both were : SO en-
crossed in their own business that

the caribou. this time just in front of
the right hind leg.
That moose dropped there. He
shook his head once or twice in a
last effort to get up again and laid
still. -
We'll, | guess I'm fool. but even
the needs of the camp couldn't bring
me to kill that caribou. l gave a
yell that frightened him more than
any moose had done, and the last /
saw of him he was scampering off. not
back to the lake-he was too wise for
that-but through the woods, leaving
blood trail from the wounds the
moose had made.
well, that trail might have led the
wolves to him, and IL he lost much
blood he probably was killed by them,
but hadn't the heart to do it."

JOURNEY OF A TREE ROOT.
Eucalyptus Sends Shoots Up over a
Wall to a Sewer.

From Santa Barbara. Cal, there
comes a story of most interesting
freak of vegetable life which is strict.
ly vouched for.
Through a certain garden there ran,
some years ago, a sewer made of red.
wood timber. This sewer was again
cased by an outside sewer. Across
the sewer there was built a brick wall
many feet high, and in such a way
that it was pierced by the inner
sewer, which it Enclosed tightly, while
the outer sewer ended abruptly
against the wall
The outside sewer casing had in
course of time decayed and a eucalyp.
tus tree. standing some 60 feet away,
had taken advantage of this and sent
one Of its roots to the coveted spot
i'm as direct line as possible.
Here the root entered the outside
sewer and followed its course as far
as It could At last IL came to tho
wall. which shut off ITS course. and
it could go no farther. the inside sew
or being perfectly tight
But on the other side of the wall
the sewer and it's double casing con.
! tinued, and this eucalyptus tree evil
IDENTITY knew how to get there.
Some three feet high i'm the brick
wall there was q little hole an inch
or two I'm diameter. and this the euca-
lyptus tree was aware Of. as it's big
root bcrln to- climb the dry wall ana
face the sun and wind until o. found
the hole. through which Ct descended
ON Tie other side and entered tho
sewer again and followed It along as
formerly
How did the tree know Of the hole
I'm the wall? How did it know that
the sewer was on the other side?
How could &c direct the root to go
and find the place with such preci-
sion? The roots Of any plant grow
always and unerringly in the direc-
{ ton Of its food just as the eucalyptus
tree did

CITY GIVES NARROWING STORY

BY Associated Press.

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 1S-The
earthquake shocks began at three
thirty on Monday afternoon and last
ed thirty-six seconds. The whole city
rocked like a ship in a choppy sea;
buildings reeled and fell and the
crowds. frightened and shrieking,
streamed toward the race course with
heads and bodies bruised. These real
lied that hundreds were buried under
fallen buildings.
AS the clouds of dust settled pillars
of smoke rose, flames shot into the
sky and it was soon apparent that
they would complete the work of the
earthquake. In half an hour the fire
spread TO block after block and the
fire department was unable to check
its spread owing to broken water
mains. Fortunately a northeast wind
confined the fire to the south portion
where it ragged all night and until
Tuesday afternoon.
Buildings in the upper part of the
city are uninhabitable and the people
have sought refuge in public parks
and upon lawns Hundreds suffered

doctors were busy all through the
night amputating limbs and dressing
wounds. The worst cases were taken
as rapidly as possible to such hospitals
as were still standing.
Tuesday and Wednesday fully four
hundred corpses were recovered but
many were consumed by the fire and
the full number of dead may never be
known. There were attempts at loot
ing by the rabbfe but the military at
prominent points promptly restored
order.
The government is attempting to
clear the debris from the streets but
workmen are afraid of the ruins and
additional shocks and but slow
progress is being made.
Monday night fifteen distinct shocks
were felt; Tuesday twenty and We'd
nesday ten.
The loss cannot be less than five
million dollars and may double that
