How Ieeberos Are Detected.

lcebergs are probably the greatest
menace to transatlantic shipping: II
was an iceberg which sent the great
Titanic to the bottom with such fear,
full loss of life.
A new device has been brought out
by a French inventor which detects
icebergs when they are six miles away
Melting Ice sends out rays which are
invisible to the eye. but which will
AFFECT a delicate instrument called the
thermo-couple. This apparatus can be
made so finely that II will register the
presence OF a lighted candle at a dis
lance Of half q mile.
The thermo-couple Is connected to q
telephone receiver on the bridge Of
the ship. When conditions are normal
II emits a continuous note of unchang-
ing pitch. As soon as an iceberg Ia
approached. however. the note changes,
and the lookout man knows at once
that there Is danger.

RECENT INVENTION WILL
REDUCE PRICE OF SILK.
SILK has always been con
sldered an article of luxury on
account of Its high cost In com
parison with other textile ma
terials, writes United States
Commercial Attache Ii. G. Mac
Lean from Rome. This has been
due In large degree to the labor
necessary In handling the co
cO0ns and preparing the thread
for spinning. Consequently the
silk industry has fiourlshed only
In countries where cheap labor
is available.
After soaking the cocoons In
water the thread has always
been unreeled by hand, which Is
work of great delicacy. but one
for which 1t has not been posi-
BILE to pay high wages. Thus,
while silk weaving In Italy has
been making progress the pre-
paration of the raw silk has
shown a decline. 1t is now re-
ported that an Italian SILK ex-
pert has succeeded in perfecting
machine which will perform
the operation of unreeling the
thread mechanically. A new
company has recently been
formed, which has taken over
the patents covering the inyen-
ton and Will manufacture the
machines.
II the Invention succeeds com
mercially as well as II has In
the experiments that have been
made II bids fair to reyolutionize
the silk industry, and. according
to the inventor, the cost of silk
may be reduced to such an ex-
tent that II will be able to com
pete with cotton and linen.

AN AMERICAN MOTHER.

Nowhere is the womanly ap.
peal, made at Minneapolis by
Schumann-Heink on Sunday last
to World War Veterans, likly to
be more keenly appreciated than
in border States of the American
Union like Kentucky. where in
days of the American Civil War,
father was arrayed against son,
brother against brother, mother
against daughter, sister against
sister, even husband against wife.
I have. two things to ask of
you," said this dead German
soldiers mother, to her Ameri-
can countrymen. Never be-
lieve that I was a German spy,
that I was untrue. to this, my
country, and to you. Promise,
I ask of you, that. when I am
dead and it won't be many years
now, you will see to it that I am
buried in America, in my coun-
try. And boys, maybe I could
have, in way, the burial of a
soldier. Not any fuss. Have
them play taps over my grave,
as I have sung it to you. Will
you promise?"
With raised hand each of the
thirty American War Veterans
arose to his feet and solemnly
pledged that their guests wish
should be satisfied. Thus assur-
ed, the famous singer said:
I had son in the German
army. He was mistaken, but he
did what he believed was right.
I will not apologize for him. I
never have. Remember, boys. I

state will have been attained.

Mr.. Fox said. Of first import
