PINEAPPLE VESTS WEAR LONG

said a well-known fiber expert Il
found that pineapple silk was stocked
by some of the leading diapers. My
wife bought a quantity Of 1t, but when
ON our return she tried to purchase
some of 1t in London she failed to find
any shop that kept 1t.
For trimmings | think It is excel
lent, but doubt II, in its present
state Of development, It would be
equal to very hard wear. But the
great trouble with these fabric tex.
tiles is that the planters will not guar
antee a large and regular supply OF
the raw material and English manufac-
turers will not alter their machines to
suit II until they do"

Engllshmen Returning From India
Brings Garment Made From Strong
Fiber-cost Small.

London.-Pineapple underwear Is
one Of the latest wonders threatened
by mechanical science.
It has long been known that the
fiber Of the pineapple leaf can be man
ufactured into the most dainty, muslin
like material, but the cost Of extract
ing the fiber has made the price Of the
fabric almost prohibitive.
A retired Indian colonel. who Is the
proud possessor Of three undervests
made from pineapple leaves, said they
were more luxurious and comfortable
than the very finest silk.
They cost me something like $50
apiece" he said, "and though ! have
worn them for over thirty years. they
show no signs Of wear even yet.
Il doubt II they are procurable any
where In London. In India the natives
extract the fiber from the pineapple
leaves by hand. and the process is
long and laborious. The products OF
ramie, or China grass, are fairly well
known. but only a few know OF the
luxury of the pineapple"
While pursuing inquiries on this In
teresting subject among silk brokers
and silk manufacturers. whose bust
nesses are threatened by this new In
ventIon, It was found that the exist
ence of pineapple silk was scarcely
known.
After all. silk is silk" said a lead
ing broker. "and this new invention
or discovery win rank among artih-
cial silks, Of which there are already
enough to form a market amongst
themselves"
In the once Of one Of the pricipal
hber merchants Of Mark lane were
seen specimens Of beautiful silk-mus-
lin fabric which had been manufac-
tured from tho pineapple fiber under
the supsrintendsncs Of Charles r.

Unusually Luxuriant Crop of
Weed This Spring.
No Safe Remedy, Say Experts, Ex'
cept to Get Down and Dig Them
Out by Roots-5ig Damage Is
Seen in New Jersey.

characterization are getting a
strangle hold upon Chicago's lawns
this year.
While other cities are estimating in
six figures the loss caused by the con-
demned yellow blossoms, Chicago gar.
deners are looking with disgust upon
one of the most luxuriant crops OF
the big.leaved weeds that the lawns
upon which they sowed grass ever
bore. The late spring, followed by
the unusual hot weather, seem to
have been just what the dandelions
have been waiting for to show what
they can do in the way Of rapid
growth, and some Of them have al
most leaped out Of the ground in their
eagerness to mount skyward.
In some of the parks, in places
where much tramping has weakened
the more delicate grass, q second crop
OF dandelions is blooming in the
spaces left by the first. The earlier
crop Is now going to seed, and for
large areas the grass is almost invis-
ible. The leaves Of many Of the
plants have been lifted clear Of the
ground by the rapidity Of growth.
Other cities are watching the dande'
lion crop with even more concern
than in Chicago. Gardeners in East
Orange, N. j.. estimate that damage
approximating 100000 has been done
the lawns in that section within the
last fortnight.
In other Of the eastern states where
much pride is taken in the appearance
Of the lawns the dandelions have Sc
cured an equally strong start. The
belief is stated by some of the natur-
alists that some natural enemy OF the
dandelion which has kept It more
within bounds in former years has
been absent this season.
That continued activity with the
lawn mower and careful fertilization
of lawns are safer preventives Of the
dandelIon pest than any chemical
preparations was the advice given by
several Chicago gardening experts In
speaking Of means Of dealing with
them.
Like many antidotes for poison,
their main objection is that they kill
the patient as we'll as Kidding him Of
the trouble. they declare. Sulphate OF
iron, which is recommended as sure
death to dandelions, is almost, II not
quite, as hard on the grass.
"DandelIons are beautiful early in
May, but for the rest Of the year they
are ugly, and therefore We have to
keep them out" said Jens Jensen. in
speaking OF this years crop.
THE only way to deal with them in
large areas is to keep the grass close
cut and in healthy condition, SO that
there won't be any bare spots for the
seed to get through to the ground and
sprout.
IF you keep their heads cut on be
fore they have a chance to 90 to seed
you prevent them from spreading. /
don't know Of any preparation that
doesn't do too much harm to the vege-
tation you want to save to be safely
