COURT HOUSE REPAIRS.
Foundations Being Reinforced With
Concrete, and Entire Roof 10 be
Made Stronger,

Judge Board and the members of the
commissioners court have recently be-
gun some extensive repairs on the
Brazos county court house that were
badly needed and that are designed
to save the building from damage that
was likely to become serious at no
great date In fact. the damage is al
ready serious and had caused some
very bad cracks to appear in the walls
OF The building The foundations are
being reinforced with concrete accord
ing TO plans prepared by Prof F +.
Giesecke of the A and NJ College.
The work is being done by Pat Wal
lace Of this city The foundations
never were large enough and The
Eagle is informed that instead of eX.
tending ont farther than the first
course of rock that the rock protruded
several inches over the foundations.
The dirt is being removed. exposing
the foundation, and then the concrete
added. making it much heavier and
wider, bringing it out some eighteen
inches on the outside of the first
course Of stone. The work is substan-
tial and will no doubt save the build
ing from further damage.
The commissioners have also had
Prof Giesecke to prepare plans for
repairing the whole top superstructure
of the building It appears that the
top Of the building was never made Sc
cure and il is Jared by every hard
wind, causing swaying and vibrations
that are injuring the building. This
is TO be remedied by thorough sys-
TEN of bracing and strengthening the
entire roof of the building, making It
steady and secure.

per and it is his belief that when put
through the heavy rollers of the pa
per mill. this product would make an
extra strong and superior wrapping
paper. or a splendid filler for good
grade glazed paper.
In this connection il is not unlikely
that the discovery of Prof. Tilson will
be hailed with delight by the paper
manufacturers in this country. The
material most used for paper manufac-
ure in the United States has been
wood pulp taken from our great
spruce and hemlock forests of the past
but which have now practically dis
appeared. For this reason for the past
few years the United States has been
importing from the Canadian spruce
and hemlock forests practically all
the material for the manufacture of
print paper
But in the meantime the Canadian
government has placed a high protec-
tive retaliatory tariff export duty on
wood pulp and as result the man
ufacturers throughout the country
have been forced to look for some
substitute that can be used instead.
Several experiments have been made
with various grasses and prominent
among the experimenters has been
John w Gates of Port Arthur. Texas.
who talks of erecting a paper mill at
Port Arthur to manufacture paper out
of straw
Not only will this pulp make an ex-
cellent grade of paper but promises
we'll as a substitute for sisal grass,
most of which is imported from Cuba.
In addition to the fiber and the pulp
to be extracted from the cactus is a
small quantity of alcohol and glue.
Whether these abound in commercial
quantities, Professor Tilson has not
| yet determined to his satisfaction.
But the fact of their presence in con-
siderable quantities he has establish.
ed beyond doubt He is enthusiastic
about his discovery and has every rea.
son to be, for if the hideous cactus
can be made to yield that which Amer,
lea must import, the professor will be
entitled to have his name placed in an
adjoining niche with that great man
who made two bades of grass grow
where only one grew before.-Houstor

ent Of Foreign Imports for Fibre
co'dase and Paper Pulp

A discovery has been made by
Houston chemist that may add at
least two important industries to
Texas, reclaim the sands of the desert
and save this country millions of dol
lars in import charges Working in
his laboratory, Prof. p. S. Tilson has
produced from common cactus leaves
a fibre said to be superior TO hemp
for making rope. pulp better than
wood pulp for the manufacture of pa
per. and a residue that yields appre-
ciable quantities of alcohol and glue.
The cactus plant from which these
products are taken is known as the
Henequin cactus, which grows in pro-
fusion in Southwest Texas near the
border 1t is not the same plant from
which the MeXicans made the intoxi-
eating "pulque.' but is one that has
long leaf. often growing TO the length
of six feet, and Prof Tilson says that
the fbres may be taken out of the
leaf unbroken throughout its entire
length.
To Illustrate. he picked up a piece
of the leaf and with his bare fingers
separated deftly one or two of the
fbres and pulled them down the en-
+ tire length of the leaf, much as the
housewife strings a snap bean. Taking
these two fibres and twisting them
together it was found impossible to
break them with the fingers. A num-
ber of the dried fbres separated from
the leaf were then twisted together
and they formed a stout rope The
fibres are stronger than MANILA or cot
ton fibre and unlike them cannot be
picked apart. They are easily separ-
ated from the leaf and require no
chemical treatment
The importance of this discovery
can be appreciated only when it is
realized that practically all the rope
and cordage used in this country is
| imported and practically all the fibre
used is imported at great cost. More
than twelve million pounds were ex-
ported last year of raw fibre to be
manufactured into rope and cordage
and bagging But with the vast
amount of cactus that abounds in
/ West Texas there is no reason why. in
T the light of this discovery, that the
United States should import fibre and
cordage into this country
Rope and cordage and bagging.
however, are not the greatest product
which this cactus plant promises 10
develop. From the pulp of the leaf
Prof Tilson manufactured by hand an
excellent grade of rough wrapping pa
