A White Channels,

For the last two years glimpses Of a

animal, were obtained at long and IT.
regular intervals in the mountains
above the Weistanen valley, in the
Canton of ST. GALL and the authorities
issued orders to kill it in order not
to lose the rare animal.
Every effort on the part Of the

and amateur. was unsuccessful on &C.
count of the shyness Of the white
channels, which, however, succumbed

Is a perfect specimen, and the body
will be stuffed and placed in the mu-

against the snow the white channels
could not be seen, and the cunning
animal seemed to be aware of this
fact, for 1t rarely left the snow line.

Z striking and, II possible, humorous
fashion. President Lowell of Harvard
IL credited with a reply which meets
these conditions. It was at a dinner In
England where John Burns. the labor
leader, was present.
Mr.. Burns was talking about some

"That is as obsolete" he said, "aa

Am not right, Mr.. Lowell?"

Substitutes for Cotton.

Owing to the high price of cotton
some German textile experts have
been turning their attention to other
fibers that might be used as substi-
tute for it. Recently spinning COM
pany at Chemnitz has succeeded in
spinning the fiber contained in the
seeds of the kapok. or silk cotton tree
of the tropics. In its natural state
this fiber cannot be spun owing to its
extreme brittleness, but 1t is reported
that Prof. Goldberg of Chemnitz has
found method of treating 1t to make
1t spinnable, and the yarn is de-
scribed as having peculiarly soft.
silky feeling. The fiber has the adj
vantage of being considerably cheaper
than cotton, but no information is at
hand showing the wearing qualities OF
fabrics made from kapok yarn.

the plaintiff was always ready with

A sensational episode occurred in
court when Russell faced Mrs. Rous-

ranchman was telling the attorney for
