Artificial Coetan

Artificial cotton has been produced
in q small way from cellulosS obtained
from the bark and Knots of fir trees.
The wood is first crushed into q
fibrous mass, then subjected to steam
pressure in a closed cylinder for ten
hours, when a solution of bisulphate
Of soda is introduced and the material
kept under pressure for SO hours more.
This makes. the material white, and it
is then washed and ground to paste.
The, next operation is that of bleach
ing by chloride of lime, after which
the material is squeezed between
heavy rollers to remove the water. The
resulting product is pure cellulose,
which is next heated In boiler with
mixture Of hydrochloric and nitric
acid. Castor oil, casein and gelatin
are added to give strength to the fiber.
The pasty mass is then converted into
fine filaments by being forced under
pressure.

Measuring Rainfall.

- To measure rainfall it Is necessary
to use q rain guage In its common
form it consists of a cylindrical ves-
sci closed nj the top by q funnel
shaped lip. through n hole In the cen.
ter of which the rain falls. A narrow
glass tube, rising outside OF the ves-
sci from near the bottom, shows the
amount of rain in the vesse3. A very
simple rain gauge consists of cop
per funnel, the area of whose open
ing is exactly ten square inches. This
funnel allows the rain to pass into a
bottle, and the quantity of rain caught
is ascertained by multiplying the
weight In ounces by .173, watch gives
the depth in inches. A rain gauge
must be placed in as open n position
as possible, away from trees, houses
or other distractions
