SILK AN INDUSTRY OF INDIA
One Million People in the Great East
ern Country Engaged in Its
Production.

There are 100000 people in India
engaged in the production of silk. Cat
erpillars and moths of the mulberry
silk industry of India are entirely do
mesticated creatures. The Indians
collect the spun by caterpil-
lars and allow them to hatch, an ex-
change states. The females are kept
until they lay eggs and when the cater
pillars are large enough they are placed
on trees to feed. When a tree
is stripped a piece of cloth is hung
from n limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto it and are moved to another tree.
Tasar or tussor silk comes from
China and Japan. Muga silk is a prod
uct of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpillars which feed on the castor
Oil plant. 1t is of great value in In
dia, because it is the only silk that
can be spun from cocoons without kill
ing the insects in the cocoons and is
therefore the only silk that can be
worn by a strict Hindu.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro.Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, viqor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy. developing arms, neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there ars evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate. which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary ~phosphoric food. elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearances; the in
fishing.
Increase in weight also carries with It
9. general improvement in the health.
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of
energy. which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
with the bloom Of perfect health;
CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS
Geometer Uses Problem Of How Long

Studying the velocity of shells and

to the old question OF the time II
would take stone to fall to the center
Of the earth. His conclusion was that
II would take about 20 minutes "a sec.

Gnssenddi. who gave the anbJect
much thought in the last century. made
the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne
on the other hand contended that six
hours would he required.
Sanger says that as the stone ap-
preached the center Of the earth II
would he drawn downward by the core
OF the earth and upward by the shell
which 1t had already penetrated. The
rate mt which the density OF the earth
varies or Increases as we penetrate to

the equinoxes. which agree with Oh
