TESTING Wool Fabrics.

Two good ways of telling whether
or not the cloth you buy for "all
WOOL is really what it is represented
to be are given by Miss Anabell Turn
er of the home economics department
of the University of Wisconsin in the
Rural New Yorker.
"Unravel a sample of the material
exposing the warp and welt threads
separately" she says. Wool fibers
are more curly than the cotton. Then
burn some of the threads; if cotton,
they will burn quickly; if WOOL more
slowly with an odor like that of burn
ing feathers or bone.
eff cotton and wool have been spun
together in the same thread the
above test is not reliable. In such a
case, the alkali test should be used.
Mix together one tablespoonful of
Lewis I've and one pint of water.
Place the sample of goods in a gran
lite dish, cover with solution, and boil
for five minutes. At the end OF this
time all the wool will be dissolved
out leaving the cotton intact, SO that
it is easy to see how much cotton was
used to adulterate the pure wool
fabric.'

When Is a Boat Not a Boat2

Harbor officials are in a quandary
over this question: when is boat
not a boat?" 1t all comes about
through the popularity of the hydro
aeroplane, and so far there is no one
connected with the government serv.
ice who seems to be abel to answer 1t.
The officials whose duties include the
enforcement of the harbor regulations
maintain that it Is boat and as such
comes under the regulations governing
power boats and therefore must COM
ply with the laws by carrying the stip-
ulated equipment of signal horn, lights,
life preservers, etc. On the other hand,
the officials OF the Aero Club of Ameri-
ca as stoutly maintain that it is not a
boat, but an aeroplane, and for proof
point to the fact that it must have
Aero club sanction to participate in
competitive events and that its pilots
must operate under an aviator's IL
cense, just as though it had only
wheels instead of hull for water ma
neuvering. Even the tentative court
of last resort, the American Power
Boat association, confesses itself
"stumped."

American Business Hustle.


Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing large quantity Of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crosse6
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion. with the result that when he
landed he received sheaf Of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what.
ever has been done by or on behalf
Of the British manufacturer. IL the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it out for
himself. for nobody seems to care for
the busine ss and nobody knows of it.

in connection with it should be studied the self
governing penal agricultural settlement on the
Island of Palawan, which has already proved
notable success.
The army and constabulary quarters are mod
els of their kind. The building of the Young
Mems Christion association in Manila and the
at Fort Mckinley, donated by Helen Gould,
are perfect in their equipment. There are clubs
aplenty. The stranger asks, What is this or that

The Ayuntamento the old Spanish capitol

the laws made for the islands and their
finances regulated. Eighty Filipinos form the
assembly, which may be described correspond

is at senate and cabinet consists of four
from the islands and five from the states,
including the governor general and the vice-gov-
ernor. Several of these men are heads of de-
partments. All bills passed in the assembly must
be ratified by the commission in order to be-
come laws. The upper chamber has the power
of veto. But this function is usually exercised
in the less drastic form of laying the table

of nurses.

WHEN THE SEA TAKES TOLL
That the Life Savers Might Bring
Through the Breakers.

The vessel fought in that last haf
hour as it had fought all day game
ly, but without hope. Those who
watched from the lee shore saw the
wheelhouse, like a smashed match
box; saw the crazed, demented move
ments in the cauldron, drifting here
and there, but always terribly shore
ward. Sea followed sea in wild con-
fusion, great jungle of mad mon
sters, foaming white at the mouth,
roaring, snarling. swapping with vi
cious teeth. 1t was nearer now. Only
a few minutes to live. A great,
shaggy brute, bigger and wilder than
the rest, charged it, caught it as it
We're on the tusks and threw it high to
where it struck, beaten at last, with
its nose on the outer rocks.
The first rocket was true, but as
the line fell across the deck great
green monster sprang forward and
downward. Only two men remained
where there. had been seven. The Sec
ond line fell clear, but the third land

winch. The chair was half way
out to them when the next cruel
charge came. 1t beat one of them
for, when the shining cataracts rolled
from the deck it was solitary figure
that chung with arms and legs to the
slippery metal. The buoy was wait
ing for him, but he dared not move.
He chose his chance well, toppled
across the perilous deck and got him
self into the seat. Blinded and stung,
he gripped the rope and was dragged
through the weller of waters. His
look was the look of a drowned man
and his chilled hands held the rope
with what seemed a death grip. 1t
was only by force that the rescuers
could unloosen the stiffened fingers
and carry him to the station.
He gave no sign for long while,
and even when he breathed again an
hour passed before he found his
tongue. He lay there with blank eyes,
his mouth half open, his jaw loose, no
look of comprehension on his face.
Not word did he speak until, outside
in the shed, the station mascot set to
barking at the wind
