OUTPUT OF ARTIFICIAL SILK
In One German Town for Manu-
facture OF Mems Ties.

The organization here, now in prog
ress, Of 100000 company to manu-.
facture artificial silk from cotton gives
an added interest to recent figures in
consular reports covering the artificial
silk industry.
There is little doubt that Germany
now heads the list both in production
and consumption of artificial silk Last
year 590,S00 pounds were used in Kre-
field alone, chiefly in the manufacture
OF mems ties, whereas only 1900
pounds were consumed by Swiss manu-
facturers. The total valuation of goods
made from artificial silk in Lyons last
year Is estimated at not more than
$3S6,0OO
The German silk trade showed in
creased interest in the product in 1906,
when prices were reduced from S2.15-
$2.37 pound to $1.72$1.S3 The piece
goods trade uses chiefly the finer quail
tiles. nitrocellulose silk being almost
exclusively employed, while the velvet
manufacturers take the coarser quail
ties. principally viecose silks.
During the last three years the price
Of nitrocellulose silk has ranged be-
tween $1.27 and Sl.56 pound, and
that of viscose silk between $l.29 and
S1.40.

OLD SHOES ARE USED AGAIN
Leather Pulp Utilized by Decorators

Into Thin Sheets.

Old boots and shoes which, when
quite past wearing by anyone. find
their way into our dustbins are ex-
tremely valuable. and find their way
again into our houses In most artistic
forms, London Globe states. They are
soaked in water to remove the dirt,
all the nails and threads are picked
out and the leather reduced TO a thick
pulp. from which wall papers. screens.
etc. are made. The finer the original
quality OF the leather the better IL
takes the bronze and old gold OF the
designs which make these hangings
things OF beauty. Bookbinders and
framemskers also know the value of
this pulp. and carriage builders press

for the roofs OF the most luxurious

Long time ago, at the ball game, the
little boys would sit outside the play
Ing ground with the old men SO that
the old men could tell them about the
plays, for each little boy believed that
when he grew older he would become
one OF the best ball players the In
dians ever had.
And when the play grew exciting,
and some young fellow was carrying
the ball down the ground swift as
light, lodging among the players like
some strong-winged insect, the old
men would cry out:
There goes the bat-watch him
twist and turn!" And when the young
man had lost the ball and the game
was no longer exciting, the little boys
would ask the old men to tell them
why the swift dodger was called the
bat And the old men would say:
Once the animals and the birds
had great dispute about which could
play ball best; and the dispute lasted
SO long that the only thing they could
do to stop 1t was to fix a day for a
great game between them.
When that day arrived. the animals
all came together on a broad meadow
near the river, and all the birds gath
cred in the tops OF the trees close by.
For the animals, the Great Beaver was
captain, and on the way to the ball
ground he boasted about how strong
he was and what he would do to any
bird that tried to take the ball away
from him. To show how strong he
was. the bear threw big logs over his
| shoulder
And the Great Terrapin, who was
at that time as big as the bear. showed
how big and strong he was by rising
up and humping the earth until II
shook.
up In the trees. the birds chose the
Great Eagle for captain and the swift
hawk for lieutenant. Both OF them
were brave and fine ball players, but
when the birds saw the Great Bear and

They who call this fellow honest

the Great Terrapin. they were not sure
that they could defeat the animals.
while they talked about what they
could do to win, two little animals, no
bigger than mice, came creeping up
the tree and sat down in front OF the
eagle. They told the eagle that they
wanted to play on the side Of the birds.
But said the eagle, you have four
feet; you belong with the animalsn
Then the little creatures that the AMI
mails had laughed at them for being
so small and would not let them play;
and the eagle took pity on the tiny
fellows and said that he would let
them play. But how about wings?
They all studied about how to get
wings for the two little mouse-like
creatures, and then the hawk remem-
bered that they had a drum which
they used in the dance, and over the
head OF this drum was stretched the
thin skin Of a grounding. Why not
cut piece OF that skin and stretch 1t
on cane splints in the shape OF wings
and fasten the wings to the forelegs
Of the little fellows?
so the birds got one OF the little
mouse-like creatures fitted with the
wings cut from the head OF the drum
but then they found that they had used
all the grounding skin they had. And
to make the other little fellow ready
to play, some of the strong birds pulled
with their bcaks at the skin between
its forelegs and its hind legs until II
was so stretched that the little fellow
could sail right across from one tree
to another.
The one with the wings, the birds
called the bat, and the other was
called the flying squirrel. And when
the ball game began, both the bat and
the flying squirrel helped to win for
the birds. And among all the players
the bat was best because he could
dodge better than any OF the rest.
so, when you grow up TO be n ball
player, you will know that you are
good II you hear the people call you a
bait"

PUT NEW PUPIL IN BOYS EYE
One Of Wonders Of Modern Optical
Surgery Recently Performed
Many People Wear Glasses.

Every time you return from Europe
you are more impressed by the i'm.
mense number OF Americans who wear
eyeglasses. We are n nation OF spec.
tacled people.
l asked DIR. McCluney Radcliffe, who
In the last few years has examined or
operated upon 1900 eyes at tho Wills
hospital, what single afIilction is re-
sponsible for most eyeglasses.
"Farslghtedness." was his reply.
He told me also that the relative
number OF persons who wear eye.
glasses is Increasing As n matter OF
curiosity | subsequently counted tho
specialized men who were sitting In
ono large clubroom having lunch.
There were 20 OF them. while but Is
wore none.
All kinds Of surgical science ia i'm.
proving, but none more rapidly than
that pertaining TO the human eye. Not
long ago Doctor Radcliffe put n new
pupil in the eye OF boy who had been
suffering from an old injury.
Tho longer time which children must
now spend In school is believed TO be
ono important reason for tho very
great number OF young persons who
wear eyeglasses. But ocullsts insist
that while more people wear glasses,
the average sight Of all Americans is
now better than ever.
4 similar thing is true OF the human
tooth. While far greater sum is now
paid to dentists than formerly. tho
average tooth ls much better than that
Of our forefathers. Both eyes and
teeth used to be grossly neglected.
