FOREST FIRES
ARE SPREADING
Beer Used at Bolton to Save
New England Hotel From
Flames

Bolton, May 1.-THE forest fire
which ragged Wednesday and which
was thought to be under control that
night, but broke out again yesterday
burned through the day and is still
raging unchecked. During it's
course buildings at Bolton Notch
were on fire several times and it was
only through the efforts of the chem
ical engine from South Manchester
that the buildings were saved. The
buildings that caught fire were near
the railroad station at the Notch and
included the postoffice and general
store, a house owned by the railroad
and one owned by Frederick Tucker
The two former caught fire twice,
but little damage was done before
the flames were extinguished
A liberal use of beer saved the
New England hotel from burning.
The fire crept up in the rear of the
building and the proprietor, w. c..
Tucker rolled two barrels of beer out
of the cellar and poured it on the
flames which arrested their course
until Mrs. Tucker, who had gone in
an automobile for help returned. The
wooden bridge over the railroad
tracks at the cut was saved by the
efforts of two women, Mrs. Walter
Rice and her sister, Miss Howard
Seeing the fire approaching the
bridge, which is on the main high
way from Hartford to Willimantic
they set back fires and checked the
approach of the flames.

NEW KIND OF YARN MAY REvO-
LUTTONIZE TEXTILE INDUSTRY.
Gall River Herald


Gall River Herald.)
Science has long served to turn cot
ton into silk-to the eye. Tt has late
ly succeeded in producing a spinable
fiber out OF cellulose pulp, wood, bam-
it to the cellulose state. In Europe
the production of yarn of this nature
and fabrics into which the yarn is
woven has reached marketable proper
lions, and great things are looked for
from it in the future. Fabrics in
which the substance provides both
warp and filling are mattings, stair
carpets, wall and floor coverings, tow
elings, table cloths, ducks braids. 1t
is also combined with cotton warp in
tapestries, chair coverings, reps, Gre
tonnes, shirtings,N tickings, towelings,
table cloths. ducks and fancy braids.
Combined with coarse hemp it pro-
duces strong fabrics like tarpaulins
and meal bags. 1t can also be used
to advantage with wool in combina-
ton and takes dyes with brilliant eff
fects A test of the wearing quality
of the material shows that the time
that friction applied by testing ma
chine will wear through a purely cot
ton fabric is three minutes, while it
takes Il minutes to wear through
cloth made Of cotton warp and the
celluiose filing Of the same numbers.
The process has aroused so much in
terest In Manchester, Eng, that big
factory capable of turning out 14,000-
900 pounds of yarn annually has been
secured and will presently be equip
ped. Should the process be proved as
practical, as the reports in the Europ-
can textile publication intimate, it is
possible to imagine a wide revolution
in the textile industry in which vege-
table fiber of many sorts may be ma
nipulated so that 1t will yield pro-
duct that may be spun and woven.
Indeed, the day Of spinning the floss
of the milkweed boil may not be so
very far away, after all.

committee providing that any two or
more corporations that are carrying
on or are authorized to carry on bus
mess Of the same or similar nature
may merge or consolidate in a single
corporation came up for discussion in
the House, today, Representative
Wilton of New London, offered two
amendments. One provided that the

business was worthy of deliberate
consideration, Evarts stated. The
motion to recommit prevailed by
vote Of Y to So.
