We were in the best position we

be to trust to the waterspouts running

HORSE.HAIR INDUSTRY.

EEW persons are aware OF the
commercial importance of horse
hair and of how elaborate a process
is necessary to prepare 1t for the
trade.
Hurse.hair arrives at the factory in
bales up to half ton in weight and
5000 in value. The chief sources of
supply are the United States, Great
Britain, South America, Australia. l..
Germany and China. The tails are
the best, since the tai hairs are hard
and tough, those OF the name being
soft and OF inferior value. The es-
pecially long hairs are. of course, suit.
able for particular purposes, but
those OF ordinary length are prepared
for stuff1ng furniture.
The hair Ii first cleaned by suction,
which carries away the dust. Color
forms the first basis of classification.
Then the hair is divided according to
its various lengths and quality. That
which is to appear back is dyed in
logwood, washed and dried. The next
step Ia roughly to mix the various
hairs In such manner as to form stuff
fings OF the various grades. After
this the material is passed through
a series OF mixing machines or mills,
which are provided with exhausts for
taking out any particles of dust that
remain. The first rough mixing In : Q.

strategy, sheer luck or utter disaster.
One of them swung close. 1t was
the size OF n huge live oak, and we be.

freak winds that surround the spouts.
The sails shivered and tapped, and
the booms snapped from side to side
in quick, hammerlike blows. We
were powerless to manage the sails
against such winds, and the rudder
was useless. We had been caught in
the freak area as in a spiders web

gigantic lawn spray. The other two,
dynamos of energy. were tearing UP
the surface OF the ocean lateraiiy
across our bow. IL the wind kept
Grange their course we had a chance
to run through.
We set the flying jib and topsails:
we riggad a balloon sail forward; We
stretched every ounce of canvas she
could hold. ready to capsize or slip
through the tornadoes of water and
hoping that the masts and rigging
would hold. The wind kicked US
ahead like a jackrabbit, and with our
lee scuppers under water we headed
for the CLASSY, eddying eXnanse of
ocean between the waterspouts.
We were abeam OF one. and our
hearts were beginning to tighten with
the hope Of escaping the other two.
when suddenly they turned sharply
and retraced their lateral course
toward us. If had been ready for
elcctrpcution the shock would not
have been worse.
