CLOTH FROM TREE WASTE.
Silk and Canvas Made From Wood
PULP In Germany.

Silk and Canvas Made From Wood
Pulp In Germany.
From Germany we can learn how to
dustrial way, for in Germany a tree
which as cord wood is worth lit
tie more than three-fourths of q cent
to a cent a pound is converted into ar
tificial silk worth 81 a pound and into
artificial bristles of %cellulOse acetate
worth 81 a pound. Thanks to the Ger.
man chemist, trees may now serve to
clothe a man, says the Scientific Amer
lean. A whole industry has sprung up
in the last decade for the express pur-
pose of scientifically converting wood
into ~cloth-wood, moreover, which
would otherwise be wasted In fashion
ing round tree trunks into rectangular
boards and beams. In Saxony, for ex-
ample, a yarn called "xylolin" Is made
from paper as we'll as directly from
wood pulp. From that paper yarn,
Irvine. cord, carpet, imitation n
and even whole suits of clothes have
been made, all of them proof against
the action of both hot and cold water.
A large corporation has built a factory
not far from Berlin for the purpose Of
making "%silvalin" yarn from spruce, of
which there are fairly large tracts in
Germany. Like its cousin "xylolin,"
"silvalin" can be woven in the loom to
produce whole pieces Of cloth which in
their essence are nothing but trans
formed trees.
The whole German %cellulose and nj
trocellulose industry is a brilliant e
/ ample Of what efficiency means in the
utilization of wood. The production
Of artificial silk from wood is alone a
| triumph of the application of science
to industry. The credit for the orig
inal discovery belongs to Chardonnet
The process that he devised has not
been very radically changed to this
day. An ether alcohol solution Of nj
.t%rocellulose is employed. At first the
liquid was squirted through a fine
opening, the resulting thread CONCEAL
ing in cold water. Each thread was
composed of a tube with a liquid in
terror. AS it emerged from the fint
opening it was rather coarse, but /
was spun into a thin flament later
Nowadays very fine openings are uset
as small as $500 Of a millimeter.

all the net weights passed over the
machine, and the third counts the
number of loads.
The action of the loaded truck COM
ing upon the scale platform starts the
weighing and recording mechanism by
closing a clutch, causing a worm
which is part of the steelyard to re-
volve and carry the poise weight until
it reaches the balancing point. The
instant the beam drops this weight
stops travelling, and thus the net
weight Of the load is instantly and &C
%curately recorded. The poise weight
returns at high speed to the zero po'
sition as soon as the load is removed

Poultry Hints.

Hens suffer from ~overeating as
much as from starving.
Even a warm rain Is bad for very
young chicks, and arrangements
should be made 30 they can get to
shelter quickly when the showers come.
If many chicks are raised it Is a
good plan to keep a large kettle near
the poultry house, in which the drink
ing vessels can be boiled at least once
a week. A handful Of common soda
thrown in the water will help.
At the first sign Of droopiness in a
chick separate 1t from the rest Of the
dock, and If It does not quickly recov-
Or use the az and burn the body.
