"She consented?" eagerly.

WATERPRooFING CLOTH.
Wiley Got the Idea From an Aooi-
dent In Dyehouse.


The waterproofng of cloth so univer-
sal today was unknown twenty-five
years ago. In 1890 Thomas Fearnley
Wiley of Bedford. England, took out
the first patent for the process known
as waterproofing cloth.
He got the idea from an accident in
n Yorkshire dyehouse. Certain goods
had been wrongly dyed, and the work
men We're directed to wash out the sur
plus logwooG color with alum. After
the goods had been dried the improve
ment was so marked that the dyer or
dered a repetition of the alum wash
ing. The cloth was sent to the wet
ting machir4but the workmen found
that they could not wet it. 1t passed
through the water and came out dry
Thus was the discovery made that
cloth could be waterproof and yet re-
main porous.
The process used today is as follows'.-
Cloths intended for rainproofing are
first freed from grease and are then
saturated in specially constructed ma
chimes with the clear liquor obtained
in adding together solutions of pure
sulphate of alumina and acetate of
lead. The lead is precipitated out. and
the acetate of alumina is dried in the
fabric. The cloth undergoes further
treatment with wax. and in one sys-
TEN wax is applied frictionally from
block under the pressure Of pneu-
matte roller. Under the method more
generally used the wax, or mixture of
wakes. is melted by heat and applied
in an infinitesimally fine film by the
action of ductor roller.-New York

DESCENDED TO ROYALTY.
Lament of Bernadotte, Who Was once
Marshal of France.

Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, one
of Napoleon's marshals and king of
Sweden and Norway. was born at Pau,
France. on Jan. 26, 1T64. and died in
Stockholm on March 8, 1914. He was
the son of lawyer and was educated
for that profession. In 11S0 he enlist
ed in the Royal marines and subse-
quently took part and achieved historic
distinction in the French revolution.
He worked his way up until he be-
came one of Napoleon'S marshals, and
he ended by being not only the ruler.
but the popular sovereign, of Sweden,
whose language he really never mas
tered. With extreme intelligence and
in this initiating Napoleon himself he
surrounded himself with kind of roy
al medieval atmosphere.
He always remained Frenchman at
heart, and. though he soon ceased to
be ON even friendly terms with the
man to whom he owed everything, the
news of Napoleon's overthrow at Wa
terloo filed him with grief. He was
then still only Prince of Sweden and
did not proclaim himself king until
February of 1S1S when Louis XVIII.
actually found himself compelled to
send an envoy to bear his congratula-
tions to brother sovereign who had
begun life as one of the humblest sub
jects of Louis XVI. He lived long
enough to see Napoleon's remains tax
en- to Paris from st. Helena. Com
menting on this, he exclaimed:
"To think that l was once marshal
of France and that now am only king
of Sweden!'

Rubber as a PIaythina.

The world owes something more tan
gible than improved health to its ball
games, for it was its suitability as a
plaything that first led to the use of
india rubber. One Of Columbus COM
panions recorded how the natives of
Haiti played games with balls made
of the gum of tree" centuries before
the plant and its possibilities were
known in Europe. The Spaniards in
Mexico, however, used it at an early
date to waterproof their cloaks. In
view of the present wide utility of
rubber 1t is interesting to note that 1t
made it's first appearance in England
as curiosity for erasing pencil marks.
