JAPANESE SILK IS REVIVED
Chemical Process Has Been Discov-
cred That strengthens the Fabric VI
and Facilitates Spinning.

According to the North China Daily
News the ladies Of America and Eu-
rope are to have the restoration % the
popular Japanese silk fabrics In large
supply and greater beauty than ever
before. It Is claimed that an expert
connected with the Full Spinning COM
pany has discovered q chemical proc
ess which will be a great boon to the
spinners and also to- the admirers aof
Japanese silk. NJ z ::ss& !
While Japanese ericulture was yet
In 81 primitive condi tion; no chemical
was used to soften the cocoon before
1t was spun: into thread Later the
spinner succeeded I'M getting ontE a
thin, soaplike substance, which full
filled the. long felt want with some
success: 81 but the difficulty was that II
weakened the fabric and took away
the natural luster Thus Japanese silk
has been steadily losing the popularity
IT once enjoyed and Its market has
from time to time been encroached
upon by the Italian product
T Mr.. 1nouye has now hit upon a meth.
| cd of strengthening the elasticity and
strength of the fabric. and at the
same time greatly facilitating the
spinning into thread. One more bene
fit from this process will be that man
ufacturers will be able to obtain IL
per cent. more produce than by the
old-fashioned way = ..s.. FL !.
Furthermore. the new substance has
an anttgerm and anticorroding effect
and will not tnjure, the hands Of oper
atives. Some time ago an American
ts reported to have discovered a chem
ical compound which would preserve
silk; and this is said to be something
similar in composition to the Japanese
invention. T,3.yEsi s4.,ss 49, :s-, - e...s5ss

YEARLY PAPER OF ALASKA
Publication Of the Eskimo Bulletin Is
Evidence Of Progress of Twenty
g, Years.

In the bad old days the masters Of
the whaling vessels sailing from San
Francisco to the far north used to
give the Alaskan Eskimos raw fire
water" in order to secure the valuable
furs they had obtained during the long
arctic winter. Little they dreamed
that these fierce children of the north
would one day be, so advanced as to
print their own newspaper, a writer in
the Wide World exclaims. After the
terrible slaughter by the whalers of
the alcohol frenzied natives of Cape
Prince of Wales, in Boring strait, it
was a rather ticklish job for a white
man to start a Bible class. Still, H.
A. Thornton attempted 1t, but he was
shot dead by boy of fourteen, who
was killed in his turn by his own
kinsman. This affair happened in
1890. Two years after w. T. Lopp ap.
peared on the scene with his wife.
They settled at Cape Prince of Wales.
and year after year, until 1908, they
taught humanity to the Eskimos. The
reindeer was introduced from Siberia,
and Mr.. Lopp got his pupils to learn
to rear the herds. He also taught
them boat building, carpentering, ETC.,
and, to put a final touch to his valua'
BILE work; he had small press brought
from the states, and it was not long
after that his pupils were able to com.
pose and print their own paper. This
is probably the only yearly newspaper
in the world----the Eskimo Bulletin. :.
