SILK MADE FROM WOOD PULP
Material Is Brought From Norway
and Manufacture Is Carried On In
United States.

In the manufacture of artificial
silk, wood pulp from Norway is util
lied being shipped here In bales, &C
cording TO the Textile Manufacturers
Journal This pulp is cut into thin
sheets, each individual sheet is care
fully weighed and q certain quantity
placed in metal tank for chemical
treatment.
The various chemical solutions used
are mixed in huge iron tanks, from
which they are pumped under ground
through a series of lead pipes to the
departments requiring the various
compounds. This pulp having been
macerated and digested, is submitted
to still further chemical action under
certain fixed temperatures which are
not allowed to vary even one-half OF a
degree.
When It Is ready for final trans
formation into silk the solution close
ly resembles molasses In color and
consistency. AT this stage It is pump
ed from the tanks to the spinning
frames. Here specially constructed
pumps are attached TO each spindle,
which carefully measures out the re-
CURED quantity of the solution.
This is forced through tubes with
an outlet containing just as many
perforations as there are to be fla
ments in the thread. Through these it
is passed to tank running the length
OF the frame and containing a chem
ical mixture which fixes the solution
instantaneously into thread.
This strand Is carried over a wheel
down through tube to rapidly re
volving spindle; the rate of speed
is about 5000 revolutions a minute.
From this the strands are afterward
unwound on reels into skeins. The
air In the spinning room ID complete
~ changed every three minutes, being
pumped off through hoods placed over
each Of the spinning frames. This is
done to remove any possible fumes
and to provide thorough ventilation
for the operatives.
One Of the interesting features in
connection with the entire operation
is the fact that the yarn is handled
as little as possible. The specially
constructed stoves and bleaching ar
rangements are ideal, and when the
skelns are finally carried to the large
drying room on the fifth floor one
marvels at the change which has SO
rapidly taken place. From here they
are taken to the sorting room, where
each Individual skein is carefully ex-
amined by skilled operators.

Nervousness and Exercise.

When there is a lack of sufficient
exercise there is general weakening
OF the organs Of digestion. All food
needs a certain amount of oxygen
mixed with 1t during the process of
digestion, and oxygen is deficient in
the blood OF inactive persons.
The nerves suffer from want OF pure
oxygen. They run like network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves It gives them
strength TO control themselves.
Exercise combined with fresh
air may be obtained In regular daily
walking. for 1t is the good friend, as
1t were, of all those organs OF the
body that have 10 do directly with
making a good, clear skin and a rosy
complexion.
If one has means OF leisure, there
are plenty of other more enjoyable
exercises. But few forms are SO bene-
fetal as the regular daily jaunt OF
four or five miles for obtaining good
complexion.

ROCK SALT FOR MODS
BETTER THAN LEAD BULLETS,
SAYS SIR HIRAM MAXIM.
Reserve Force Should Carry Guns
Loaded With Buckshot for Use
II the Riotous Crowd Is
unsubdued.

II has been suggested that some
thing less deadly than leaden bullets
should be used by our troops against
rioters. 1t has been suggested that
bullets might be made Of sawdust
and grease, but this is altogether i'm
practicable, as such bullets would sim
ply be atomised by the force of the
explosion and atmospheric resistance.
The suggestion is. however, a good
one, inasmuch as 1t sets one thinking
on a subject that, we shall have to
face very shortly. y.
The ordinary militsgy rife Is q
very powerful weapon. hit has been
designed for killing at livery long
range, and it is quite possible, that I'M
der favorable circumstances w. short
range the same bullet might ihpass
through 20 men. u.
Disorderly, murderous mobs are
constantly increasing in numbers, and
each riot is flercer and more deter
mined than those that have preceded
It. There is bound to be q greater
number of them In the future, which
we shall have to deal with, whether
we like 1t or not therefore ! hold
TINT we should make a study Of the
subject and provide and use the best
possible arms ,f5f the purpose.
1t must pot be supposed for a
single moment that large and turbu-
lent mopb such as were lately found
In nyarpool. and who fight like de-
mons can be subdued without the
ilose' of some life. Some loss ia in
etitable, but let 1t be as small as pos
sible and let us, at least, attempt TO
avoid doing injury to any except those
who are actually making war upon
the soldiers or police.
Suppose the officer in command had
400 soldiers opposed. we will say, TO
10000 hooligans and strikers. II
would be best to arm about 200 of
them with very large bore, single.
barrel shotguns, having rather short
barrels. and these should be provid.
ed with cartridges of the ordinary
type; but, instead OF lead shot, they
should be loaded with very coarse
grains Of hard rocksalt, the grains be.
Ing about the size Of large peas. The
salt has the advantage of being light
so that 1t does not penetrate very
far, and, as It soon dissolyes and
runs out Of itself, and as II Is also
an antiseptc, no surgical operation
would be necessary
Rock salt was used very success.
fully in the early Colonial days OF
New England.
Another hundred Of the soldiers
should be armed with the same kinds
OF gun, but the cartridges should be
loaded with a small charge Of black
powder and very large charge Of
bnckshot. These shot would not XII
at a range Of few hundred feet
but at very close range Of few
feet, where all the shot are in n lump
they would be fatal
With these 900 guns the crowf
could In all probability be kept at bay
Or course the buckshot would not bs
used until the salt had failed. Then
again, II the attack was very violen,
the whole 300 guns could be worked

THIS MULE A WONDER
pEscENDs SPIRAL STAIRWAY IN.
TO COAL MINE.
HoIsted Out for an Airing, He Decides
! TO Co Back and Succeeds In
Accomplishing the Strange
Trin

Des Moines, Iowa.--This is mule
story. The story of an inquisitive
mule. Let's dub him Garcia, for he
didn't turn back after he started on
this space-flling trip. He went
straight to his destination He couldn't
turn back. You soon will discover
why.
Garcia is not one of those Garguan
tan beasts that jerks traction engines
about like they were paper things. the
like of which Councilman MacVicar
employs In the department Of streets.
He is little tramp, tougher than a
mustang, lean and solemn looking,
understood, but with full grown ap
petite Garcia drudges eight hours
every day during the week on the sec
ond level in the Hollingsworth mine
south of Des Moines. He drags cars
piled high with coal to the hoist, takes
long breath and then backs with
the empty car for another load.
Saturday Garcia was given vaca.
ton. He was hoisted up into daylight
TO stretch his sturdy legs on the dead
grass in the pasture, so he would be a
happier mule when he was put to
work Monday morning,
Monday morning came, and the
mules went back to the job with the
union men-all but Garcia. He did
not answer to roll call. The stable
boss could not figure out how Garcia
had been spirited away from the
mine, and never single tuft of wool
hanging on barb to show that he
had jumped the fence,
Monday afternoon one of the shot
frers went down the escape shaft and
at the bottom--153 feet from the top
of the dirt he stepped on something
soft that grunted. 1t was Garcia-he
was led out the manway and inspect
ed. Not shinbreak. He was trifle
drawn from being absent from meals.
A night of munching hay put him on
his pins and In the morning he was
hauling his car as of old.
Every mine has an escape shaft.
This is used by the men In time Of
danger or when something is bucking
about the hosting apparatus. 1t is
also an air shaft Down the escape
shaft runs a narrow stairway. A spiral
stairway like the one you labor up to
get to the topmost point of the State
house, only the spirals are acute an
giles in the mine ladder. The ladder
in question is only about two feet
wide, for at every drop of twelve feet
there is small landing, where a man
can halt and get his breath, and then
the stairway goes on at new angle.
Here is how the men at the Holdings
worth mine figured out Garcia's pres
ence at the bottom. First, there is the
old story about a mule getting to love
the smell of mine after he has been
in IL while, and never being at home
"on top" when he is taken out. In
fact, they say mine mules beg to go
back in
Well, this Garcia got to the en-.
trance of the escape shaft somehow.
and being curious. like all of his rela.
tives. he started down. Once started
down, there was no alternative, he
had TO go ahead. There was no room
to turn around. II takes a regular
trick mule, even to go up normal
stairway backwards. So Garcia kept
ahead, turning the corners and saving
his hide, landing at the bottom. right
side up with care. This is true
mule story

And now they are saying that Col.
Roosevelt has not declared he would
decline the presidential nomination If
the same should be rendered to him.
1. is said that supporters of the ex-
President are hoping and expecting a
stampede to him in the convention.
That's the Roosevelt way of doing
things and such conclusion need not
be surprising. In which event a split
in the republican convention would
very probably follow. The stand-pat
element in the republican party feels
that President Taft is entitled to a
second nomination and the old leaders
OF the regulars are not going to yield
without protest that will be heard
around the country when the parting
of the ways hasNbeen reached.
