ted to permit the separation of fibre
and wood. But this method failed
completely with nettles, for the rot
ting process attacked the fibre as
well and destroyed it.
Richter found out the reason. Net
ties contain much fruit-sugar, which
is all stepped out during the first
halliday that the plants lie in water;
and then a fermentation process sets
in. This fermentation is due to the
development of bacteria that feed
upon the sugar and then destroy the
value of the fibre. After Richter es-
tabEshed those facts he had only to
draw off the water after soaking the
nettles for twelve hours, and then
turn on fresh water. Now another
class of bacteria, which do not at
tack the fibre is developed, and rot
ting procS4s as normally as With fax.

Pay of Scotch
Ministers to Be
GiUe71 a Boost

Glasgow, Scotland, May 14.-One
result Of the phenomenal grain prices
ruling in Scotland is that the salaries
of the parish ministers of the Estalb-
tablished Church viii be increased
this by anything from so pounds to
200 pounds ($250 to $1,000. This Is
due to the fact that the amount of
these salaries is governed by the
prices of wheat and barley, and big
prices for the former mean big wage
for the parson.
On the other hand, the professors
of divinity in the Scottish universe
ties will suffer a loss in salary of
$500 or so. Like the parish minis
ters, their stipend fluctuates with the
price of grain, but when grain goes
up their rewards go down.

AUSTRIAN CHEMIST HAS
MADEGREATDISCOVERY
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, May 14.-That a nettle fl
bre of high value for making textiles
can be recovered easily and cheaply
by the water-rotcfng process, that a
rich yield of fruit sugar is thereby
STEPPED from the plants, and that the
stems make excellent fodder, is the
triple discovery of Prof. Oswald Rich
ter, an Austrian chemist.
He came to his discovery after
some fifteen years of experimenting
with ammonia solutions, only to find
at last that the fibre could be sep
arated by rotting the plants in water.
1t all depends, however, upon know
ing how to supply the water. Investi-
gators had all along made the mis-
take Of assuming that nettles must
be rotted like flax; that is, they must
be thrown into water and left there
till the plants were sufficiently rot
