COTTON FROM FIRWOOD.
Difficult to Distinguish the Natural
from the Artificial.
Cotton, which used to be born, is
now being made from flrwood which
has been freed from bark and knots.
The fibers are broken up by a special
machine, and are then placed in a lead
lined copper cylinder having a capacity
of 100 cubic centimeters. Into this
eteam is Introduced for ten hours by
means of a pipe in the bottom.
At the end of that time 60 cubic cen
timeters of soda lye are poured in and
boiled for 36 hours under a pressure
of three atmospheres. The material is
then washed and thoroughly crushed,
alter which it is bleached and dried.
The pure cellulose thus obtained if
treated In an autoclare containing a
mixture of zinc chloride, hydrochloric
acid', and nitric acid, to which a little
castor oil, caseine, and glycerine arc
added. The fibre, after being furthei
reduced, is passed through a weak so
lution of carbonate of soda, and then
between drying rollers.
The necessary firmness is given to
the thread by finally putting it in a
bath of diluted ammonia and then
washing it with, cold water. The sub
stance thus made may be easily woven
and dyed. ' When the artificial product
Is compared with the natural it i3 said
to'bo difficult to distinguish the differ
ence, and it is even asserted that, the
former may be so economically pro
duced' as to be able to compete with
the latter. -Chicago Tribune.

Formic Acid in the Body.
Two Paris physicaas claim to have
discovered thit formic acid can in
creaee the strength of people in an ex
traordinary manuer. One of the doc
tors experimented upon himself. In two
days, it is said, ho doubled his strength,
aud in five days trebled it. Formic
acid is a colorless liquid found in the
bodies of ants, in the hairs and other
parts ot certain caterpillars and in net
tles. It has a 'pungeat smell, is highly
corrosive and may be prepared artifi
cially in uiA:;y different ways. Net
tles, bees and aurs owe their etinging
powers to the presence of the acid.
Edward the Shrewd.
Commenting on the fact that King
Edvard's father used to be referred to
as "Aibert the Good," a French writer
3ays that the present sovereign of
Great Britain should be called "Edward
the Shrewd." The writer adds: "Since
his accession to the throne King Ed
ward has not made In international af
fairs a single mistake, which is more
than can be Bald for his nephew and
nephew-ic-law cf Germany and Rus
ila." It ia a sin to suffer with ba:kaoho end pains
