test Against tho Exclusion Of
Women From the Elective
Franchise.

London, Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Chaplin, thu
Iuffragette, furnished an early morn
ng thrill at the B~ermondsry election
:oday hen she smashed a bottle con-
tanning corrosive acid upon the ballot
box. Her intention evidently was to
destroy the ballots in the box as q
protest against the exclusion Of women
from the right Of franchise. What she
accomplished was the painful burning
IF some of the election officers and the
assurance of her arrest.
Slipping into one of the booths, where
perhaps a thousand ballots had been
deposited, Mrs. Chaplin drew from I'M
der her cloak a bottle in which ink
had been mixed with corrosive acid and
before h could be stopped, hurled
the bottle upon the box. The bottle
broke into many pieces and the flying
acid splsshed upon the election officers.
A number Of officers were so severely
injured as TO require medical attention.
About the same time a similar at
tempt vas made in another booth by
a young girl who wore suffragette COL
ors. So far as could be a~scertained
not much acid reached the ballots in
either case.

WATERPRoOFING FABRICS.
How Mackntoshes, Sail Cloth and
Leather Are Treated.

Fabrics are waterproofed by i'm
ORIGINATING them with metallic salts,
by coating them with oil, grease and
wax, by coating them with India rub
Der Or by treating them with ammo
niacal solutions of copper. The first
process is applied to sail cloth. The
canvas is impregnated with alum or
calcium acetate and then immersed in
a fixing bath containing soap, which
forms insoluble lime or alumina soap
in the cloth.
The second process is used for rain
coats, imitation leather, ETC. The fab
rio passes between hot rollers and
then over a cylinder of wax, etc.
In the third process a solution of
India rubber in carbon disulphide,
chloroform or other solvent is applied.
This process is used for mackintoshes
and bathing caps and is also applied
to thread
In the fourth process, employed in
the manufacture of book bindings and
Willesden canvas, cotton cloth, is run
through solution of oxide of copper
in ammonia, which dissolves the SUI
perficial layer and, on evaporation,
leaves it in the form Of a uniform
coating of cellulose. The process is
completed by passing the cloth be-
tween rollers. There are still other
processes, but these are the most inn
portant.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Man They Met.

Jack Lathcm's long, swinging stride
had come to an abrupt stop with an
instructive caution as he turned out
of the lane that led into the high road
to see the two men standing where
the road forked. The knowledge that,
after his escape on the previous
night, the police would be hunting
the countryside for him was enough
to make him suspicious of every
strange face he met.
He had been persuaded, almost in
spite of himself: by Freddy Thornton,
and later by Hilda, to take advantage
of the opportunity of escape that cir
cumstances had flung in his way. The
week he had passed in prison between
the time of his arrest and the magis-
trates' inquiry made him realize now
how sweet a thing liberty was, and he
had no intention of being recaptured
if he could help it.
But his first glance at the two dis
consulate actors treasured him.
Where he stood he could hear frag-
ments of the terrific stage curses that
the man in the dilapidated fur coat
was calling down as from the heavens
on Lewishsm Vere's head, before the
shorter man, espying the presence on
the scene of third person, took the
opportunity of Monty's pausing for
breath to interrupt the more rotundo
periods of invective and to pull down
the dramatically outf1ung arm. 1t
struck Lathom that they were proba-
bly, strolling players, and that he had
nothing to fear from them.
Besides, nearly the width of York
shire divided him from Wildfell, and
as yet all that had appeared in the
morning papers was a brief account
of his escape in the accident to the
cab. The description given of the es-
capped prisoner might have applied
equally well to five out of every ten
well built young Englishmen of
breeding picked out at random in the
streets of any town.
To Be Continued.
