Silk From SaWdnsf.

Making artificial silk from sawdust
and other lumber waste is the latest
experiment of the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally it's principal
use was in the manufacture of braids
and trimmings, but recently the manu-
facture of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry of vast impor-
lance. Other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods of all kinds, Innings,
tapestries, etc., neckties, ribbons,
sweater coats, etc. About 100000
pounds of artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture,
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic I've to form viscOse, which
is allowed to age for some time. 1t
8 then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by a
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
MUM sulphate, and sodium borate, or
formic acid. After washing and dry
ing, the silk is ready for use. The
laboratory is investigating the arti-
fetal silk problem as possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand
variety Of articles made from the
material.-Boston Transcript.

Finds Diamonds in Sea.

A story of a package of diamonds
worth e10O ($500) found floating in
the North sea by one of the crew of a
British mine sweeper was told in a
London police station by deckhand,
Walter Gleason, who had been ar
rested while trying to dispose of the
gems.
At the police station the deckhand
confessed that while on a trawler
which was engaged in the hazardous
task of gathering up mines in the
North sea he saw package floating
in the water. He got it with boat
hook and when he opened it he found
SO polished and Is unpublished gems.
The deckhand attempted, in company
with a friend, to sell the diamonds to
a jeweler at Cardiff. There was moth.
ing on the package to indicate the
owner or how the diamonds came to
be floating about in the mine strewn
waters of the North sea.

Arab Foes.

The Arab who is fighting with the
Turks in Mesopotamia has some curl
GUS ways. He takes off his shoes
when he enters house, but keeps on
his hat. He reads and writes from
right to left. He eats scarcely any
thing for breakfast or dinner, but in
the evening ne sits down to hot meal
swimming in oil. His sons eat with
him, but the ladies of the household
wait till the males have finished.
The Arab rides a donkey when trav-
cling, his wife walking behind, and he
laughs at the idea of giving up his
seat for woman. The Arab has one
strong virtue, and that is, he is rarely
seen drunk. He is not very affection
ate, is very ignorant, and has so little
initiative that he rarely takes on any
thing worth doing, or attempts to
carry out any enterprise.

FORCED TO Be SECRET
BIG LEAGUE SCOUTS MUST DO
THEIR WORK UNDER COVER.
Bush Managers Conceived All Sorts OF
Ways to Boost Assets-Batting
Averages Padded to Make
Players Tempting.


Many good stories are told by big
league scouts-and about them. Jim
Murphy, former scout for the Chicago
Nationals, tells one which shows the
value of keeping under cover. The
Marion CO., club had a player 1t was
trying to peddle off on the big leagues.
The tip finally reached the Cubs that
here was splendid player for the top
rung. So Jim Murphy went down to
look him over
On the day he arrived he took his
seat In the grandstand, unobserved,
and according to his custom immedi-
ately began asking questions about the
yOungster.
The fan on his right happened to be
keen rooter, so Murphy opened up
on him. The talk finally led around
to the man the Cubs were after.
what kind of player is So and So?"
inquired Murphy.
"Bill Smith" (name faxed for OBJ
vious reason), exclaimed the fam ooh.
Bills a wonderful fielder, when he
leaves the booze alone" was the I'M
expected answer. 1t is almost need
less to say Murphy took the Text train
back home. He had learned all he
wanted in that one short sentence.
On another occasion Murphy was
investigating player up in Wiscon-
sin. The manager Of the team was dos
ing his best to sell the star" for big
price, but he knew his man was a
hard drinker and tried to conceal the
fact. So he introduced Murphy to the
player and then started to take the
party on tour of the saloons in town.
Every time drink was ordered he
tipped the wink to his player and he
would order a cigar, much to the
amazement Of the bartender. He
would instinctively reach for the bot
tie which the player generally or
lered, as Murphy noticed with an in
ward smile.
And every time said player asked
for cigar the manager would nudge
Murphy and eXclaim, See that? He's
as steady and temperate as they make
them" But any man with half an eye
would have spotted the player for a
hard drinker. He even had 1t on his
breath. Murphy finally left town with
out his man.
This just shows to what means man.
ayers will go in their anxiety to sell
player for a good price and make
some profits for the club. There are
even cases where batting averages are
padded to give the impression players
are sluggers, thus making them tempt
ing bait for big-league scouts.
A scout has to be detective in ad-
dition to his other virtues. 1t Is no
easy job.

playing every position on the diamond
at different times. He began as a
pitcher and joined the st. Paul club In
the fall of 1896. He pitched and
played the outfield there for two years
until he was drafted by the Chicago
Nationals for the season Of 1898. He
remained on the West side team until
August, 1898, when he was returned to
st. Paul, finishing the season in the
outfield. He went to Chicago with
Comiskey's club in 1900 and developed
into a first baseman and then into
great utility player, and finally into
the clubs regular second baseman.
Three years ago he purchased an In
terest in the Wichita club of the West
ern league, and retired from the major
league arena, with Comiskey's con-
sent, to give his entire time to the
Wichita club. Then he assumed the
control and management of the Des
Moines club, whose team he then pi'
loted to the pinnacle of success.

CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something to
Say About the Disposition of
Their Product.

A farmer possessed few swarms
of bees which he kept in what are
called box hives. Inside there were
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds of honey each, an
exchange says. About eight of these
were placed on the top of the hive, and
as at least one side of each box was Of
glass, the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filled with honey
The farmer usually chose to do this
early in the morning, before the bees
came out to begin the labors of the
day, or at night when they had fin
1shed them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take it out in the after
noon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood few
rods from the house, and on that side
of the house were large doors lead
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
were partly of glass, the bottom of
each was made of little Stats, so that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut the
or1xy nd hIIp
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive. But, in his haste
to avoid being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much, so that the
cellar was quite light, whereas it
should have been dark
The bees were so excited, and en-
ragged that they flew in all directions,
attacking everyone who came in their
way. When suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them. Early the next morning
the farmer looked out of the dining
AOOA WIAOOW dIlu OUoSlFSu CAdI CuO
air was still full of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air, being filled only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.

BOOST FOR SHORTSTOP WITT
Manager carriga- Says Athletic Re.
cruit Is One of Most Promising
Youngsters in League.

Witt, the Athletics shortstop, In
the opinion of BILL" Carrigan, man
ager of the Red Sox, is one OF the
most promising youngsters in the ma
jor leagues. In fact, Carrigan thinks
a lot of Mack's entire team. He says:
Zone or two good players, particularly
of some ability and steadiness in the
pitching department, and the Athletics
would be in the race. Mack's team is
weak at one or two places. In Witt
he appears to have found player OF
great promise. He is fast, stands up
we'll at the plate and Is clever.
cannot say that Witt makes the same
big impression with me that George
Sisler Of the st. Louis Browns made
on his first appearance in Boston last
season, but undoubtedly this man Witt
has the makings of a STAR"

HAS NEW STYLE OF HITTING
George CutshaW of Brooklyn Hopes to

George Cutshaw, like all good citi-

latest ambition he has drilled himself
into new style of hitting which he
fervently hopes will jump his batting
average from the .250 class into the
