ILL FATED AUTHORS.

Writers Whose Works Proved Their
Own Death Warrants.
In times gone by monarchs gave
short shrift to authors of books that Of
Tended them. The Bourbons, for in
stance, did not scruple about paying
assassins to remove" those writer's,
such as the gifted Paul Courier, whose
works displeased them. Nor did the
great Napoleon hesitate at all in shoot
ing or hanging the unhappy author
who crossed his path.
On one occasion he executed the
publisher-one named Palm OF Nu-
remberg-of book attacking him be-
cause that individual refused to dis
close the name Of it's author.
A terrible fate befell a nineteen
year-old authoress Of a poem which
was read by no other person than its
writer. a lady of the Empress Eliza

who wrote about 200 lines Of verse
satirizing the empress vices.
In youthful pride and imprudence
the girl showed the manuscript to one
IF the court ladies. To curry favor
with the empress this woman showed
it to Elizabeth, who thereupon order
ed Vera Paskin TO be cruelty knouted
and banished for life to Siberia.

Williams, for safety, inclosed the

that the box was none other than an

When the news of the real nature

Paper Yarns For Weaving.

Paper garments have been used In
Eastern Asia for many years. and pa
per vests, sheets and blankets are OF
commercial value in this country to
keep out the cold winds; but the man.
ufacture of fine. strong paper yarns
which can be woven into fabrics the
same as cotton. wool. or silk is the re-
cent achievement OF an Italian. Fro
fessor Zanetti.
These yarns do not equal cotton or
wool in their tensile strength, but they
have been made with a breaking
strength of from eighteen thousand
to twenty-eight thousand feet. Cot
ton yarn has an average breaking
strength of from forty-three to forty
seven thousand feet, dry-spun max
thirty-nine to forty-one thousand, ra-
mie thirty-seven to forty thousand
and jute about thirty-twO thousand.
But IL not so strong as some Ok the
other yarns the paper withstands ex-
posure To water better than Jute or
flax. and when tightly woven into Fab
RIGS offers better protection from cold
winds. When combined with woolen
yarns. the paper clothes can be re-
peatedly washed without injuring the
surface. Owing to the difference In
cost of the raw materials, sufficient
material can be manufactured out of
paper yarns combined with a little
wool to make a suit Of clothes at
cost of less than three dollars. The
spinning Of the paper yarns on ordi-
nary looms is a simple matter.
So far the chief use Of the spun pa
per fabrics has been for towels, wash
cloths. bed and table linen, and for
mattress coverings.

Brick For Glass,

The demand for hollow bricks and
building blocks for house construction
has induced glass manufacturers to
put hollow glass bricks on the mar
ket, and they promise to be used en-
tensively for novel and artistic &C.
fects.
The first glass brick proved fall
ure on account of their cost, but the
hollow glass brick can be made at
much less expense. They are lighter
and stronger than clay bricks, and are
such excellent non-conductors that
walls built OF them are proof against
dampness. sound. heat and cold. The
bricks are sealed hermetically when
hot, and are placed in walls with a
colorless mortar made Of special glass
The bonding strength of the glass
mortar is almost as great as the bricks
themselves. For ornamental friezes
dadoes. string courses, and facades
they are of special value. and add
greatly to the artistic effects.
For those who might object to liv-
ing in glass houses through whose
walls anyone could see. it should be
said that the hollow glass bricks are
made both translucent and Opaque
Furthermore. the old adage that those
who live in glass houses should refrain
from throwing stones has no applica-
ton to the modern glass brick house
for the bricks are made so strong that
an ordinary stone thrown against g
cracking any of the masonry.

Artificial Eggs.

The artificial egg as commercial
product having been abandoned by
scientists as an impossible invention,
attention is being drawn to the pres
ervatiOn of real eggs for indefinite pc
riods. Canned eggs. lined eggs, cold
storage eggs. and eggs preserved In
water-gass and other chemical COM
pounds are now regular market pro-
ducts: but the most recent egg freak
consists Of hard boiled eggs preserved
In clay and charcoal paste. The idea
of thus utilizing the eggs during sea-
sons Of plenty is derived from China.
The Chinese have preserved boiled
eggs in clay for a long time, and
some Of them are said to be centuries
old. The eggs are boiled hard and
wrapped in soft clay while hot. The
clay hardens and looks like pumice
stone. They are packed in bags and
rice huskS. and kept indefinitely.
When opened the yolks are green and
the white part almost black, and when

gravies as we'll as fresh boiled eggs.
The duck eggs are boiled and pack
ed in a paste OF charcoal. which hard
ems about them and forms a perfect
protection.
Experiments are now being made in
the egg districts of this country to i'm
itate the Chinese and go them one
better. If the color of the eggs can
be retained restaurants may in time
be able to serve hard boiled eggs to
customers without the latter detect
ing their great age. The character
of the clay and charcoal Is said to de-
termine the darkening of the inside,
a dark. heavy clay preserving the del
icate white and yellow of the eggs
better than the light clay.

In as much as a recent article ref
erred to us, we, the members of the

in the moral condition of our town,
hereby refute the impression that has
been spread broad cast that s. A. Var

we have found them to be men we
