Pioneer Lawyer Dead

The news of the death of my old friend, Samuel A. Putnam, at Ashville, N. C.. on Thursday morning brought back many memories of the eighties" said Robert c. Redus, flor he was one of the first of the outsiders to come to the Magic City to hang up his shingle. He arrived on the ground in December. 1884. and for awhile was in the office of Sharp Weatherly, but for years after practiced his pro- fession alone. In February, 1894. he went to Washington, D. C., to become assistant attorney to the assistant district attorney and served during the second Cleveland administration, after which he resigned to engage in private practice. Early in 1916 he was appointed chief clerk of the court of claims under Judge E. K Campbell. He was. while here, a member of the Southern club and active in the social life of the city. He was a favori.e both among men and women for he had rare mind and charming man. ners.'

aslIkn From Pulp.


Fifteen million pairs of silk" stock
Ings, the product of forests, were sent
out of the United States last year to
compete with the product OF the orr
entail silkworm.
The process by which the forests
are turned into silk stockings is a
comparatively simple one. Wood pulp
Is treated with caustic soda to form a
sodium cellulose, and then dissolved
In carbon disulphide. The artificial
product has a greater brilllancy than
natural silk, but is somewhat harsher
to the touch.
1t is now used, not only for hosiery.
but for dress trimmings, upholsteries
and rugs, for insulating electric wire,
and making durable nantes for in
candescent lights. The artificial silks
exported by the states go to all parts
of the world, and actually invade the
countries In which natural silk is pro-
duced, including China, Japan, and
Italy, the chief silk-producing coun-
tries of the world.

Bats Method of Climbing.

Certain bats appear to have found
their hook-like thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension, and have
made use of the suction principle for
this purpose. This mode of suspension
has been developed Independently In
two distinct bats, one a native of Bra
I'll and the other Of Madagascar. In
the Brazilian species the suckers take
the form of stalked discs attached to
the palms of the thumbs and the soles
of the feet. The suckers of the Ma
lagasy species are horseshoe like. BY
means of the suckers these bats are
able to ascend vertical surfaces. Very
curious It is to note the similarity be-
tween the suckers Of these bats and
those on the arms Of the cuttlefishes.

few LEAVE WILLS
Seemingly, Expectation Of Death
Is Not General.
Man Who Has Only Small Estate 10
Leave Is the Most Apt to Think
That a Legal Document
Is Not Necessary.

There are two reasons why people
put off the making of will. In the
first place, as Cicero long ago pointed
out, mo one is so old as to think
that he may not live a year" Ii It
be winter, the average man, OF any
age, Is sure that he will carry on 10
see the robins return and to breathe
fresh life with the spring; and In
summer he knows full we'll that he Is
not destined to pass out until he has
harvested this years garden crop. IL
was so In Cicero's time; 1t Is today.
Death Is never imminent; we take
day Off to attend the funeral OF the
the office, and returning from the GEM
etery we say to ourselves: II ought
to put my affairs In shape so that my
wife will be all right In case anything
should happen to me-" But we do not
do It, ''I'm right In the midst OF
things now" we say. "In another ten
years I'll have something worth writ
ing down in will Then I'll want to
think the matter over carefully and ar
range fair division between my wife
and the children and the relatives;
but It's hardly worth while troubling
about now" The man in the Scrip
lures is typical Of most of us.
Things are going well with me-" he
said in effect. II will pull down my
barns and build greater" And that
night his soul was required of him.
And the second reason why will
making is not popular is because there
is a general impression that will Is
a luxury for the rich. 1t Is expected
that Mr.. Million, when he dies, Will
leave his estate carefully guarded by
a long legal document; but the man
who has nothing but house and lot
and $500 In the bank assumes that 1t
isn't enough to bother the court about.
So he dies, and his wife, who might,
under proper will, have entered into
the enjoyment of his estate at once.
with very little legal formality, finds
herself compelled to give bonds, and
go through an immense amount of red
tape; and is fortunate If she is not In
volved In a family feud before the ne
gotiations are completed. Even If she
comes through safely, she has paid
more than she can afford, In fees and
charges-all of which would have been
largely obviated by proper Will.
The rich mans estate will stand It,
There will be enough left for his heirs
even after the courts and lawyers are
through. A will for him is more or
less of luxury; but it is necessity
to the man of small means; and the
smaller the estate the more essential
