NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTON
Busy Town of Chemnitz Witnesses Birth of Invention of Great
 Commercial Importance.

The busy town of Chemnitz, the largest manufacturing center in the Kingdom Of Saxony and one of the largest factory towns of the German empire, has just witnessed the birth of new invention which will doubt less cause considerable changes in the price of cotton, which, furthermore, will be of interest and importance to our readers in kapok growing coun- tries, says Scientific American.
 For some considerable time past the German textile world has been de voting unhagging attention to the discovery of fibrous plants which might in any way be rendered avail able as a substitute for cotton, and great interest has been given to the different more or less successful ex- periments made. Trials made with ramie and caravonica have been fairly successful, but have not met with that need of success, nor attracted so much attention, which has fallen to the share of the experiments made with the fiber of the kapok tree, the so-called silkwood tree, which four ishes in America, Asia and Africa The fruit of this tree contains a seed which like that of the cotton plant is enyeloped in soft silky hairs. These hairs, however, have been so short that they have hitherto been useless to cotton spinners and have been used chiefly for upholstery and mat tress making purposes Most kapok trees grow wild and only recently have a few Europeans begun to culti- vate them systematically in New Guinea and east Africa. Steps are also being taken to grow these trees properly in the German protec- torates.
 Ihls new industry will be greatly favored by the process just discovered by a large German spinning mill. whereby it is now possible to render kapok fiber easily splnnable. So far as an absolute matter of fact the yer itable fiber of the kapok tree has not been dealt with, but only the fibers of the calotropis procera, plant growing wild in east Africa; however It IS exactly the same as kapok fiber Tn character, appearance and ouali- ties. Hence if the one can be spup so can the other, a point on which not the least doubt is entertained. By means of process evolved by Prof. Goldberg of Chemnitz the brittle and fragile fiber of the kapok tree is treated in such way as to render it easily spinnable, and yarn up to No. l2 English is now being spun from it sample, both of the raw material and Of the yarn may be seen at the offices. As will be seen the yarn is of fine quality and of very soft. silky and tenacious character. The process in question does not necessitate the employment of any new machinery. put Is based entirely upon ~ovel and somewhat complicated system of pre- llmtnary preparation and spinning What the actual process is cannot vet be divulged
 In the German African colonies fiber stuffs of all kinds are now be- ing grown, and as Dr. Hindorf recent ly pointed out in a report to the ko- tschaftlichekomite the new plantations of sisal in German east Africa have now attained such dimen- slons that in few years time the annual output will exceed 10000 tons. and Germany will be able to meet her own requirements.

Unkind Reminder.

The dialogue between President Taft and the Chicago newspaper men, in which he spoke feelingly of the time when Cincinnati considered her self a rival of Chicago as to popula tion, and his home city's having re, duced fer "brag'- now to age only reminded a former resident of Gin cinnati of this story: Some years ago a number of commercial travellers met after business hours in the lobby of big hotel in Chicago and the va rious cities which they "drummed" were the topic of conversation. The travellers were nearly all New York CTS and the vulnerable points of the various cities were attacked. A Gin cinnati whisky salesman in the crowd took up the cudgel for his city, and among other things in it's favor spoke of it's beautiful suburbs, it's good beer, it's fondness for music, it's educational institutions and it's patronage of the fine arts. There's one thing you haven't mentioned" said St. Louis man. Cincinnati isn't as dirty as Pittsburg."

An Amateur of Wives.

Luther Burbank, at the cactus all her that he recently gave in San' Rosa, said:
 As we all see, the fruit of the ca tus is not bad. Some people, thoug would turn from cactus with horro Tastes differ. One man, such ma as myself, for instance, finding s gle wife too many, remains unmarrie Another man, like Cetewayo, finds thousand wives scarcely enough.

 "Cetewayo, day after day, sent pit ous messages to Wolseley, pleadin for the rest of his wives, but the Brl ish soldier refused sternly.

His Life Enriched the World.

Happy is the man who knows how to enjoy his leisure in a way to ale yiate the cares of life. Such a man, says the Springfield Republican, was Dr. Matthias Cook, physician of Utica, N. Y, who recently died at the age of 70 years. He was a lead ing member of the Oneida County Medical society, but beyond his pro- fessional work did other things well. He was well known as a singer. He had a famous flower garden. He made an chronological collection of over 1000 specimens, which he gave to the Utica Free academy. He became known through the world as a raiser of high-bred pigeons. He had a rep utation for microscopical studies. He gathered a collection of postage stamps, which he finally sold for $3,000. Besides all these things, no physician in Utica did more charitable work than pr. Cook. He would seem to have been as well entitled to be called an "all-round man" as anybody.

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women l am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RE D, ,Graniteyille, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclaysays it is worth moun- tains of gold " to suffering women.

Lamb Knows It's Mother.

The lamb knows Its mother by her voice only, but she knows her off spring by smell. This is why a eve can be forced to accept her own off spring by holding her or confning her head in stanchion while the lamb suckles. After a day or two the lamb knows it's mothers voice and she becomes accustomed to the smell of her lamb and no further trouble follows.

Lime in Oyster Shells.

The oyster shell theory is a fact. One pound of shells contains sufficient lime to manufacture about seven doz- ems of eggs. The only proper way to feed them is to have small box with in reach so the fowls can help them selves at will. Mixing the shells in the morning mash is risky job, as a fowl is apt to thus consume more than she will need, and the shells of the egg become too hard.

Bugs to Kill Parasites.

The California Agricultural college has imported from South Africa a lot of bugs with healthy appetites to make war upon the black scale para site, which has caused great damage to the orange, lemon and olive trees of California. The bugs are so small as to be scarcely discernible, but they are armed with pair of powerful nip pers, with which they destroy thou sands of the scale parasites in short time.

Newfoundland's Bad Record.

The Newfoundland Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is carrying on a vigorous and necessary campaign this year in the island. The death rate from the disease in Newfoundland is very large. About one in every five of the total population dies of it, and what is worse, in the last six years the death rate, which is sta tionary or decreasing elsewhere, has increased about 50 per cent. This is due largely to the native horror of fresh air in the house.

MINE EXPLOSION
KILLS SCORES
Colorado Coal Mine Scene Of Death
and Destruction,
Seventy-Nine Bodies Found in Mass
at Bottom of Shaft-NearN as
Many More Believed to be In Mine
and Little Hope is Entertained
That Any Are Alive.

Primero,. Colo, Feb. Seventy
nine bodies of the victims of yesterday
afternoons explosion in the Primero
mine were found piled in mass at the
foot of the air shaft shortly after mid
night.
When the explosion occurred the
men evidently made rush to escape
through the air shaft, and were suffo-
Gated as they battled with one another
for freedom.
1t has been shown by the time
keepers records that there were 149
men in the mine at the time of the ex-
pIosion. Few are thought to be alive.
The main shaft of the mine is COM
dletely wrecked.
The mine authorities autographed an
order to Denver early this morning for
80 collins. One man only has been
found alive. He is badly injured and
has not been identified.
The explosion occurred in the mine
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
st a 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Three men at the mouth of the mine
were killed by the force of the concus-
sion.
Both fans with which the mine was
equipped were shattered, but were re-
placed and j. H. Thompson, superin-
tendent, and a rescue party entered by
the main air shaft, but were unable tc
reach the main shaft, which was com.
pletely blocked. The party returned

bodies, which were badly burned.
A party equipped with oxygen hel
NETS replaced them and continued the
search for more bodies. Miners were
rushed to Primero from Trinidad
Saundo, Starkville, Sopris and Coke
vile, and labored franticaily to cleal
the main shaft, relieving each othei
every few minutes.
Most of the victims are Slavs anc
Hungarians, although Electrician Viii
Helm is among the missing.
The camp was a scene Of indescrib
able horror last night. While every
ablebodied man was taking his turl
with pick and shovel to clear the shaft
the women and children, kept back b,
ropes, gathered about the shaft, weep
ing and calling loudly upon their love
ones who had not been found.
Members of the rescue party sa
that the effect of the explosion under
ground is indescribable. The bodie
recovered were horribly burned an
unacceptable. One body was i'm
paled on broken timbers.

PARIS RECEIVERS.
Water Recedes and Work of Repair
ing is Begun.

Paris, FEB. Improvement in the
general situation continues and the
spirits of the Parisians are rising as
the waters fall. Street hawkers are
selling postcard pictures of the flood
and the boulevards are once more gay
with thousands.
With the crisis past, the mercurisi
French temperament faces the subsid-
larry troubles with light heart, but
the papers already are warning the
people that measures must be taken to
avoid repetition of the disaster.
The project of the department of the
Seine has issued instructions to the
owners of flooded houses to clean and
disinfect their premises to the salts
faction of the municipal architects
within "a hours after the subsistence of
the waters.
The government has ordered the tax
collectors to show the greatest len
iency to delinquents, and the Mont de
Pieto is extending pawn tickets fol
three months.
Public and private benevolence
continues to respond to the call of the
sufferers. Thesters and societies are
organizing benefits, while the various
race courses are arranging a big
meeting for the spring, the receipts o.
which will go to the poor. A resolu'
tion has been introduced in the cham
Der of deputies asking the government
to award special crosses of the Legion
of Honor to those who have been con
spicuous in the rescue work.
Although the papers are printing
columns of pitiful stories, hundredtl
part of the horror never will b.
known. Many corpses have been swept
down river. and occasionally a corps
is found in boat, broken away from
some funeral procession.

WILL PRESS MERGER SUIT.
Pacific Roads Must Face Trial by
Next April.

Ne<t April.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The president
has determined to press to conclusion
the pending suit against the Union and
Southern Pacific Railroad companies,
looking to dissolution of the merger,
and today concluded to deny the appli-
cation of Mr.. Lovett, Harriman's sue
cessor, for dismissal of the suit.
Soon after Judge Lovett and a num-
Der of influential railroad people sp-
pealed to the president to squash pro-
ceedings before Judge Vandeventer's
court in Salt Lake City, Mr. Taft,
following the course that had been
adopted in the case of the famous New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
company, when similar appeal was
made, referred the matter to the at
torney general for examination. In
the New England case, it was found
that, because of action taken by the
state of Massachusetts, and the insig-
nificance of the governments interests,
it would be best to abandon the prose
cution of the railroad, and this was
done.
But Attorney General Wickersham
reached a different conclusion in the
Pacific railroad merger case, and today
be handed to President Taft volumin.
GUS report, conclusi of which JUST.
fed the president in the announcement
that there was good case against the
railroads, following the decision in the
Northern Securities litigation. There
fore, proceedings at Salt Lake City
will be pressed
The status of the case at present is
this: The government has put in its
testimony. The defense must begin il
April and the usual evidence in rebuff
tai must be submitted thereafter
Then the case will go to that novel tri
bunal of four judges provided by tbs
antitrust act, known as the expeditinl
court, and doubtless in the end it will
come before the Supreme court of tn
United States.
