Artificial Sponues.

Artificial spOnSes, as made by Ger
man process, is chiefly result of the
action of zinc chloride on pure celm-
lose. The pasty, viscous mass pro-
duced by this action is mixed with
coarsely ground rock salt, and then.
IN press mold armed with pins, it is
pierced with a multitude of little
canals. initiating the pores of a natural
sponge. After the necessary porosity
is obtained the material is given a pro
longed washing in dilute aicoho, to re-
move the excess salts. The artificial
sponge has the same action as the
natural in absorbing and retaining
water.

Thomas. That's the queer
~ part Of it. At the place
where he boarded we learned that he
got letter from AriZona-trust the
average landlady to look at postmarks
that he seemed greatly agitated all
that day and left that night. No one
has seen him since. Why he went is
a puzzle, where we don't care. So long
as he keeps out Of orr way that's
enough"
Captain Cy did not care either. He
surmised that Mr.. Atkins might prob
ably explain the disappearance. And
yet, oddly enough, this explanation
was not the true one. The Honorable
Heman solemnly assured the captain
that he had not communicated with
Emily's father. He intended to do so
as a part of the compact agreed upon
at the hotel, but the man had fed.
And the mystery is still unsOlved The
supposition is that there really was a
wife somewhere in the west. Who or
where she was no Bayporter knows
Henry Thomas has never come back
to explain.
'T told Miss Dawes of the photo
graph and what it proved" went on
Peabody. "She was dreadfully ,disap-
pointed. She could hardly speak when
she left me. l urged her to come in
