Ada street, and in other sections of

sist to elect him as one of the mem

DIR. MURLIN'S VISIT.

Lemuel H. Murlin, president of
Boston university, arrived in ELS
worth last Wednesday. He came
over the road from Boston in an
automobile accompanied by Mrs.
Murlin, DR.. Leopold Mes, Mrs. Neis,
and their daughter, Miss Grace Neis
DR.. Murlin addressed the students
at an assembly held at the high
school Thursdy morning, and con-
graduated them on the showing
which they were making at the sum-
mer school, He said that from the
beginning, when Professor Bellatty
suggested the possibility of B. U.
summer school in Ellsworth, he had
been in accord with him, and has not
been disappointed with the results
obtained. The scholastic standing of
the men and their fine appearance in
dictated the benefits derived from the
school.
He said that Boston University
was striving to give the greatest SER
vice possible as an educational insti-
tuition and the calibre of the in
structors at B. IT,, showed that it was
among the foremost in the United
States. He impressed upon the men
that clean manhood and clean
womanhood was the principal aim in
education. He invited any of the
men to visit him in his office, that the
door was always open to any member
OF the faculty and student body and
that he would foster and endorse any
constructive ideas regarding the uni
versity.
DR., Neis gave an interesting talk
in which he spoke of the interest and
ambitions he had for Boston Uni
versity, and the great educational
value the university had in the
United States. He looked forward to
the time when Boston university's
new buildings would be on the new
site on the banks of the Charles
river.
DR.. Neis also pointed out the great
work that DR.. Murlin has accom-
plished since he was elevated to the
position of president of the uni
versity. In the past five years the
enrolment has increased from 5000
to 10000 students, which goes to
show that Boston university has
taken it's place among the higher
schools of learning in the United
States.

MAY REDUCE COST OF SILK
italian Expert Said to Have Per.
fected Machine That Has Posi-
bilities Of Importance.

Silk has always been considered an
article of luxury on account of its
high cost in comparison with other
textile materials, writes United States
Commercial Attache II. G. MacLean
from Rome. This has been due in
large degree to the labor necessary in
handling the cocoons and preparing
the thread for spinning. Consequent
ly the silk industry has flourished only
in countries where cheap labor is avail
able.
After soaking the cocOODs in water
the thread has always been unreeled
by hand, which is work of great del
icacy, but one for which it has not
been possible to pay high wages. Thus,
while silk weaving in Italy has been
making progress the preparation Of
the raw silk has shown a decline. It
Is now reported that an Italian silk
expert has succeeded in perfecting a
machine which will perform the opera
ton of unreeling the thread mechani-
cally. A new company has recently
been formed, which has taken over
the patents covering the Invention and
will manufacture the machines.
If the invention succeeds CONNER
cially as well as it has In the expert
ments that have been made 1t bids
fair to revOlutionize the silk Industry,
and, according to the inventor, the
cost of silk may be reduced to such
an extent that 1t will be able to COM
pete with cotton and linen.
