cheaper PROCESS OF DYEING
English Experts Have Discovered Ad.
vantages in the Use of
Sulphur.
At the Huddersfeld Technical col

At the Huddersfield Technical col
made which, It is ol1imed, will revo-
lutionize the dyeing trade and obviate
the necessity of importing aniline
dyes. Tie plan is to utilize sulphur
dyes for dyeing wools and fabrics 9TH
er than cotton, for which sulphur
dyes have been hitherto exclusively
applied, and the experiments have dis
covered that they may be used with
success for wool, silk, artificial silk,
hemp, and other fbers, which can be
ton. Sulphur dyes are cheap and
will, as opposed to aniline dyes, add
to the properties of nilled cloth. Ad-
ditional advantages claimed for the
new process is that wool, silk, artifi-
cial silk and hemp can be dyed to-
gether in one bath, thereby saving the
cost of separate dyeing and the cost Of
dyeing by the present two-bath proc
ess. Another economy that is eff
fected is in regard to the use of steam.
co NY 'l'O AC" PiOSOSo NOoiS are ny
at temperature of about $50 degrees
instead of at boiling point, as under
the present process In this connec-
ton it is curious to note that the in
vention entails a reversion from costly
machines to cheaper ones. The proc.
ess is already in partial operation.
Materials that have already been dyed
have been subjected to all the ordi-
nary tests, which they have stood sat
isfactorily.

Coal and Smoke.

Smoke is caused ny failure TO burn
the rombustibfe gases that arise when
fuel is exposed TO The fame. The edi-
tor of Power describes these gases as
"a complex mixture of various hydro
carbons, from some of which carbon
separates on cooling in the form of
iampblack or SCOT The smoker fuels
also give of tarry vapors. which con
dense and help to gather the carbon
particles into fakes or 'smuts.
For the burning of these gases as
they are evolved from the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must be
supplied above the fuel bed. the TEN.
perature must be high enough to in.
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents OF gas and air are
cooled by flowing into or among the
tubes of the boiler
Firing coal in large quantities pro
duces so much gas that neither air
supply nor combustion space is great
enough for its burning. Therefore coal
should be put on in small quantities al
frequent intervals.

LEARN FACTS OF HEREDITY
Spread of Scientific knowledge Has
Shown That Many Wrong Ideas
Have Been Held.

It has been well said that ghosts
and haunted houses decrease in fire.
quency in a definite inverse ratio to
the increase of our means of light
ing. No self-respecting ghost will live
in a house lighted with electricity, in
which the person who should receive
the ghostly visitant with due awe can
just lean quietly out of bed, touch a
button and fash the whole room full
of light. The candle-lighted dwelling
was the favorite ghostly haunt. The
same is true of the specter of the
heredity of disease The more light
is thrown on the subject the less sig.
nificance heredity has.
This is confirmed by a recent care
full study in detail of the spread of
tuberculosis in five counties in Min
nesota made by an expert for the
state department of health. Tuber-
culosis is proved once more by this
study, as shown in the current public
health reports. to be an infectious
and not hereditary disease. Only
those catch the disease who are much
exposed to it, and then only when
both patient and those near him ar
careless about the infection There
is no reason for the dread of inherit
ing it, and no good reason for fearing
its contagion If even a few reasonable
precautions are taken.

LESS DEMAND FOR PEANUTS
Japanese Growers Alarmed at the
Withdrawal of American Buyers
From, Market of Japan.

Producers of ground nuts in Chiba,
Shidzuoka, and other eastern prov
inces OF Japan are alarmed at the
complete withdrawal of American buy
ers from the market. The United
States has been thus far the best Gus
toner for japanese farmers, taking
over so per cent Of the whole cl put
annually. with signs of steady pro-
gress. Toward the close of Move ser,
when in ordinary years the seas0a is
IN full swing, negotiations for bust
ness with America were suddenly
dropped and no inquiry has since even
been received.
The causes for the business dead
lock are, according to the generally ac-
cepted interpretations, the bumper
crop of ground nuts in the United
States itself. sudden decrease in de-
mand, owing to the commercial depres-
sion in the United States, and the ex-
acting rates collected for war risks.
According to cablegram received in
certain Quarters of Japan the market
in America for this particular kind of
goods is quite dislocated, no prices be-
ing quoted even for nominal pur-
pose.

WHEN AN ICEBERG cOLLAFsEs
Event Always Source of Great Dan
ser to Craft That May Be in
the immediate Vicinity.

One of the main dangers in the
proximity of an iceberg is its un-
known extent beneath the water. It
is told that the passengers of a steam
boat on the newfoundland coast sue
cessfully importuned the captain to
approach an iceberg for a close in
spection, says a writer in the Wide
World. While still apparently sufi-
GENTLY distant for safety some move
ment in the water or natural decay
acted upon the berg, and it snlit
apart. Instantly it began to readjust
its balance. The tremendous masses
beneath the water steadily rose as the
pieces swung over, and one wide ex-
tending ledge came up beneath the
boat. What shall we do now" in
CURED tourist. Get down on your
knees was the terse reply of the
captain. But the great wave from the
tumbling ice swept down on the boat
and washed it to safety.
The collapse of an iceberg spreads
danger to great distances. 1t may be
too far distant to threaten a craft
itself. but the wave 1t raises will
swamp the largest boat In the imme-
date naghborhood.

Ancient Weapors of War.

Austrians tried modern version at
Belgrade, was, strictly speaking, an
engine that threw darts-a sort CT
nachine-gun. The engine that threw
stones, weighing from two pounds up
10 three hundredweight, was the ba-

confronted and loosely used. Accord
ing to Josephus, the balista could
throw stones a quarter of mile. All
these machines We're worked by twist
