FABRIcs FROM WASTE PLANTS.
Scientists Look for Important Com
merclal Possibilities.

Scientists In many lands have been
giving an increasing amount Of atten-
tion TO the problem Of producing from
the plant world Substitutes for the
fibers and fabrics now generally In
use. To find new cotton plant or a
new fax straw or fiber which shall
take the place OF wool or silk, or 10
put among commercial possibilities a
new material from which to manufac-
ture fine paper, are among the aims.
Four inventors have recently reached
what they claim to be success, each
in his own particular search, and de-
scriptions Of their products showing
how widely varying results are being
attained are printed in the Technical
World Magazine.
From ramie, a nettle which came
originally from China, but which
grows well In various countries, Is
made a fiber which ri ais cotton for
usefulness, and has some OF the
beauties Of silk From the huge cac-
tus leaves OF our American deserts a
kind OF fabric called cactus-leather is
manufactured, which while not a sub
stitute for cowhide is useful for many
OF the purposes for which genuine
leather Is used. Pine needles are also
being made to furnish a fiber which
has qualities of usefulness in cloth
making, even clothing being success
fully manufactured from it, And,
finally, the Guayule shrub has been
found to contain rubber to an ex-
tent which makes It commercially
worth farming.

MAN WITHOUT HANDS OR FEET
HAPPY AND CHEERFUL.
Arthur j. Murray, Of Portland, Ore,
Victim Of Blizzard In 1893
Story Of His Fight to
Reach Shelter.


Plttsburg.-Although he eats and
drinks with care and dresses without
assistance. Arthur J. Murray, of Port.
land, Ore, who was here a few days
ago, has neither hands nor feet. The
members had been frozen in a Canadl-
an blizzard and their amputation could
not be avoided.
Murray Is one OF the happiest men
on earth His humor is sincere. He
is glad he does not have limbs that
are racked with rheumatism. To the
man glum with brooding over III fate,
Murray's magnetic, uplifting conver.
sation always puts things in q more
cheerful light.
Recently this man started giving
lectures in small towns. He appears
in tights showing the arms extending
just below the elbows and the legs
just below the knees, then proceeds to
dress after applying his artificial mem
bers Fully attired he can run and
even dance bit and swings along the
street with careless grace Knives,
forks, spoons, matches, hooks, pens
or the like are easily slipped into open
ings provided in the wooden wrists,
which practice has enabled him to
govern accurately. The hooks, handy
IN dressing, are used more than any
Of the other attachments.

Of his life he has never taken a drink,

deaths, each more cruel than the 9th.

body to the end. He believes that aft
er death he goes into the dark land, "
where life is continued much as 1t Is
In this world. He believes that If he
is deprived Of his head he viii be-
come headless ghost and be doomed
to perpetual sorrow Should he wish
to marry, no woman would ever dream
OF taking a man without head. His
hands might grasp the chopsticks, but
there would be no mouth to receive
the food. He would never be able
to find his road anywhere, and the
shades in that mysterious land would
start with terror from him as he
groped his way through the shadows.

between decapitation and any of the
most cruel deaths and he will in

TO SAVE LIVES AT SEA.
Experiments with Life Line Guns for
Ships Show Good Results.

New York.-According to Capt Ar
thur Mills Of the American liner Phila-

Liverpool recently by the advisory sub
committee appointed by the British
government to report on the question
Of British ships compnlsorily carrying
life line throwing apparatus we're sue
cessful and may have important re-
suits. The experiments we're conduct
ed with kites, buoys, and different
styles Of guns and rockets
The cannon said Capt. MILLS,
threw a line a distance Of 1850 feet,
which was a remarkable feat com
pared with the old life throwing gear.
The gun is loaded with a proiectiIe
and is fred by friction, which propels
the projectile certain distance, and
from that point a rocket is discharged,
which carries the line to destination.
One Of the features Of this new gun is
that during the daytime the smoke in
dicates the direction in which the line
is carried, and at night the fire Of the
rocket answers the same purpose.
The shoulder guns made a good Inn
preston on the subcommittee, as they
are light, easily handled, and may be
fired from any position by man or
boy. OF the two shoulder guns that
were tested the more powerful one
carried a line 34b feet and the other
342 feet"
