PAPER, Guncotton and Imitation
Silk from Cotton Stalks


Similar in appearance to that of hemp or
flax, with equal tensile strength. The 9TH
er is similar to that found in the best
pulp wood. Used in combination. these
fibers produce a perfect pulp for high
grade paper making. The cotton stalk
fiber is a thin walled tube, which COL
lapses in a peculiar twisting manner in
the heating process, interlaces in the felt
il= process much better than other wood
! hbers, and holds its grasp tenaciously. 1t
is strong. 1eXible and durable. Among
the principal by-rroducts of the process
are acetone oil. which is extensively used
in the arts; amyl acetate, which as Il
solvent of the pulp which has been nitrat-
ed, gives rise to many peculiar processes
and products.
1T is i'm this way that artificial silk,
which today plays such an important part
in clothing a luxurious world, is made.
The plup. properly treated, is dissolved in
amyl acetate, in which condition 1t has
about the same consistency and appear
ance as honey which has been taken frorl
the comb, OF glucose. Most anything one
desires can be manufactured from thid
molasses-like liquid. 1t may be run out
into thin films, and allowed to dry. the re-
suit being a sheet of clear, flexible mater
lal. which is not soluble or affected in any
way by water. 1t is of this material thar
Photographic films are made The light,
sensitive emulsion simply is coated over a
roll of the film.
Leather" Also Possible.
Or the firm nay be run out much thick
er, may be colored either evenly. or in
"marbeled" effects. and by being allowed
to dry in a peculiar manner, present an
appearance Similar to ordinary leather or
alligator skin. In this form it is used
principally as a leather" covering for
books. 1t is quite easily worked, and may
be ironed and otherwise manipulated at
will.
The vicious liquid also may be spun out
into threads of any desired size, either IN
a single strand or tube as thick as cotton
thread, or as fine as the fbers whtch make
up the cotton or silk thread, in which case
the fibers are twisted and made into arti-
fetal SILK in exactly the same manner in
which the silk threads are twisted. AN
but the most expensive grades of silk
socks and stockings are made of this arti-
fetal silk and not from the product of the
silkworm. and while the fabric does not
last quite as long as the natural silk. IL
is otherwise just as serviceable in use and
appearance, and as resistant to water
soap and any other treatment it is likely
to be given as the natural article, and this
difference in price more than balances its
somewhat shorter life.
And so it is that at Greenwood. Miss.
a 16-acre plant is being erected. bounded
on one side by the trunk line of one of tho
great transcontinental railroads., and or
the other by the Yazoo river, tapping one

ing. for Manager Griffith and George
Mcbride will be only too glad to whip
into shape young player who looks
az good as Jennings.
While playing with Atlanta, Jen-
nilgs seemed TO play too deep. lie
frequently waited to have the ball
come to him, instead of going in for
the ball. As a result he was often
too late on fast double plays. lie IL
said to have shown this same weak
ness last season while with Joe Can

American Association.
Jennings will, in all likelihood. be
given trial by the Criffmen this

ficient class there, he viii remain. il
he doesn't, he may be shunted over TO
third base and tried out at the hot
corner. But he will hav" to show some
pep on slow hit balls TO make good

In making all infielder George Nc
Bride is Of inestimabIe benefit to his
