Wood Pulp Spun to l'i:iel M l, Au experiment is being made at Bjsoncon, in France, with a substitute for ailk, whi 'h will 1m wa'ched with interest. The invention, that of Count do Ohardoniet, is to convert wood pulp into soft, silken thread, durable, luminous, and elastic. Tho "silk" threads produced from the wood pulp were tirst shown nt the last Paris In hibition, when they enjoyed a good deal of attention among those inter ested iu tho silk industry. But the process was ut that time far from com plete, and many improvements had to bo made before the invention could bo r 'garded as a commercial success. That point, in the opinion of Count do Chardomet, has now been reached, aud a mill has been built for the manufacture of goods front the new material. One of the great diflicultics, it appears, that has to be overeonio is the snapping of the threads while thev are being spun, owing to the uneipial pressure which is exercised in forcing the wood pulp through mi exceeding small aperture, so us to convert it into thread. This is a defect, however, which the inventor is contideiit ho w ill soon overcome. After the wood bus been reduced to the consistency of pulp, it is dried in an oven, and then plunged into a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids, washed in several baths of water, and dried by alcohol. The product is afterward dissolved in ether and pure alcohol, and the iv.-ult is collodion similar to that used in photography. This collodion, which is a sticky viscous substance, is in closed in a solid receptacle furnished with a filter nt the lower end. An air pump sends compressed air into ther, ptaele, and by this pressure the collodion is forced tl:i-'Ugh h ri- Zotitals in the form of line thread-', As the thread is forced out it puss- s through a vessel filled with ether and! alcohol, which soli. lilies the collodion and makes it elastic nnd us brilliant an ' silk. If the invention turns out as; successfully us its inventor anticipates, j it will be the beginning of a ve.y im- j portitiit iudiistry.-- I'Minb.i rgh Scots- ' man.

Sweetest Voiced and Pluckiest of Ihe Bird Family. A man who has for years made a liv in by trapping mocking birds in Texas, lolls the Washington Star sotneiliing about tin.' little songster's h inils. He says: "Of all the feathered musicians the m. e.'liiu ; bird is easily king, and his rich, pure not -s are far n hen 1 of the English nightingale, about which pools have raved and lends have sung. The mocking bird is also the gamecock of the bird family, and his pugnacity gets him into all his trouble. He is a natural gormaiid. and hunts the woods patiently in the fall until he finds a section that will supply him with food all winter. Then he settles down. Twenty-tive fct away, perh ips, an other mocking bird takes up his abode, but let hint encroach one inch on the others preserve and there is immedi ately a war to the death. These lights however are not freipi ul. for tie re sei nis Jo be an uiiwrifl u law among the birds that vh.-li one of them stakes out a claim lie Is entitled to the benefits therefrom.

"The mocking bird commences to sing when he is about two tin Hit lis old. The first indication you get is a rest le.stt.'ssou the part of the bird, with soft, low, unfinished ii"t Gradually mocking bird you hear in the cities is not the song ymi h '.ir iu its n itive state.

Tin re nre cases, however, w here the female resembles the male to a very marked extent, and 1 have hear 1 of females making good songsters. The degree of excellence is measured by tip- number of white feathers in the bir I's wing. The highest type is euliod ih foiir-feal In-red bird. The tenth -r- nre found in the wing, and lnu-t be not only well-shnped, bill perfectly ill liked white. The white feathers must have no splashes of blnck in tin iu, but must be pure and white. The birds which have two feathers and a half nnd two long w kite feathers perfiel, with a splash o- dark murk on the white on one side of the quill of tin' third feather, are usually mah's. I have found from experience that the birds which have the broad wing feathers are to be preferred. It usually requires two years before tin bir'l attains full song, and wln u tiny nre three years old they lire said to In nt their best. Generally speaking, the mocking bird is a hardy little fel low, but their cages should be kept clean and their food regular." Intelbgeiic iu Animals.
