WOOD PULP UTILIZED IN MANU-.
FACTURE OF ARTIFICIAL SILK

In the manufacture of artificial silk
wood shipped from Norawy is utilized,
being shipped here in bales. This pulp
is cut into thin sheets, each individual
sheet is carefully weighed and a GER
tain quantity placed in a metal tank
for chemical treatment.
The various chemical solutions used
are mixed in huge iron tanks, from
which they are pumped underground
through 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
degree.
When it is ready for final transfer
nation into silk the solution closely
resembles molasses in color and con-
sistency. At this stage it is pumped
from the tanks to the spinning frames.
Here specially constructed pumps are
attached to each spindle, which care
fully measure off the required quanti-
ty of the solution.
This is forced through tubes with an
outlet containing just as many per-
forations as there are to be filaments

passed to tank running the length of
the frame and containing a chemical
mixture which fixes the solution in
simultaneously 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 q minute. From
this the strands are afterwards un-
wound on reels into skeins. The air
in the spinning room 10 completely
changed every three minutes, being
pumped off through hoods placed over
each of the spinning frames. This is
done, says the Textile Manufactur-
ers' Journal, to remove any possible
fumes and to provide Thorough venti-
lation 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 con-
structed stoves and bleaching arrange
ments are ideal, and when the skeins
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 individ-
uual skein is carefully examined by
skilled operators.

walked up to him, asking what he was
doing. The man replied that he was
waiting to catch a train out OF town.
Wolf then asked him what he had on
him, and the man replied that 1T was
none of his business and drew back his
arm as though about to strike. Wolf,
who had his revolver in hand, then
made move to strike the man over
the head with it, when the gun was ac-
cidentally discharged, the bullet en-
tering the victim IS right ear, passing
clear through his head.

Especial to the Silver State.)
LOVELOCK, August 29.-Last nipht
Lovelock was visited by five fires, two
of which are thought to have been of
incendiary origin.
At the Marsden ranch 200 tons of
hay were destroyed, and at the Oneal
ranch stack of hay containing about
80 tons was entirely consumed by the
flames. 1t is thought that both these
fires were set maliciously.
During the evening an alarm was
turned in from the Big Meadow hotel.
The fire was soon extinguished by the
volunteer department, with small loss.
During the night two boxcars standing
in the yard were found to be on fire,
but in both instances the blaze was ex-
inguished without serious loss.

Lord Kitchener.

way through by sheer bulk and the impetuosity of their advance Again and gain they reeled back in retreat only to rally and return to the on- slaught. It was terrible battle Twenty thousand Mahdists were left slain on the field. No quarter was shown to the wounded survivors among them, for wounded dervish, the English knew to their sorrow, is more terrible than sound one He seeks to give death in accepting it. No undisciplined mob could stand in the face of such slaughter. Panic ensued. The British arms were vic torious.
 Then Kitchener pressed on to Khar- tum, leaving the enemy no time to re- cover it's lost confidence. Everybody remembers the outcome. The success of the British expedition brought Kitchener fame, peerage and mod est fortune. He was voted a gift of $150,000 and in 1899 he was appointed governor general of Sudan.
 The South African war is not re- membered by the English with much pride. It was a sore blow to the na- tional self-confidence It showed that their boasted efficiency had to be taken with a grain of salt. But what credit came out of that inglorious con flict came in large measure to Lord Kitchener. It was he who brought hostilities to a conclusion after Lord Roberts had returned to England, sur rendering the chief command to his chief of staff
 To Kitchener's skill as an organizer Is largely due the fact that an army of over 150,000 men was marched be- tween 1,500 and 1,600 miles through a country which would scarcely have kept a goat in rations. Lord Kitch- ener accomplished the gigantic task, and not man went hungry It was the sort of feat which England had learned to expect of him. Its success full termination occasioned little com ment, because, perhaps, Kord Kitch- ener had accomplished it.

H0N0RS 4 SOLDIER
King George Made Kitchener
 Coronation Constable.
Intrepid General, Who Achieved !n1- perishabIe Renown in the Sudan ard Who Brought Boer
 War to . CIe5e.

London.-A rich honor was be- slowed upon Lord Kitchener-that of being named by King George of Eng land, lord high constable during the coronation ceremonies. The selection was equivalent to declaring him 10 be Englands greatest living soldier.
 Kitchener is a remarkable man silent, inscrutable, detesting publicity and, 1t is said, women, and loving work. He is a relentless and efficient machine. After his famous campaign in the Sudan the British dubbed him Kitchener of Khartum"
 Kitchener's training for the work he had to do in the Sudan could not have been better He was graduated from Woolwich and entered the engineers in 1871. For brief time he served with the French forces during the FTanco-Prussan war. He was wound ed and retired. deyoting the next twelve years to surveying and map making in Palestine and to gaining proficiency in the eastern tongues-a proficiency which was later of the greatest service to him. For time he served as a British consul in Asia Minor, but on the outbreak of the Egyptian war of 1883 he entered the English army and rose rapidly in rank until he was made sirdar, or com mander of the Egyptian forces, with the British rank of major general Dur ing this period his mind ran steadily on the project of recovering the lost provinces of upper Egypt, which had been under Mahdist rule since the disastrous outcome of the campaign of 1883.
 By 1896 everything was ready for the expedition Kitchener knew that the task which he had set himself was no pleasant junket in the desert. The followers of the now dead Mahdi, swol- len by their former success, held the English arms in contempt.
 The first overwhelming defeat of the native forces came at Omdurman. It was there that Kitchener's admirable fighting machine the organization of which has cost him sleepless nights and the most anxious concern was put to the crucial test. And it was not found wanting Even the Egyptian forces were models of steadi- ness. Again and again the half-mad- dened dervish warriors threw them selves upon the native wing of the British army, seeking to crush their
