JAPANESE SILK IS REVIVED
Chemical Piioc?H Hu Been Dlsoov*
?red That ?trangthens the Fabric
' end Facilitates ?pinning.
According to the North China Dally
News the ladles of America and Eu<
rope arc to have the restoration of the j
popular Japanese silk fabrics In large j
supply and greater beauty than ever i
before. It Is cjaltned that an expert
connected with jthe Fuji Spinning com
pany has discovered a chemical proc
ess which will be a great boon to the
spinners and also to the admirers of
Japanese silk.
While Japanese sericulture was yet
In a primitive condition no chemical
was used to sdften tbe cocoon before
It was spun luto thread. Later the
spinner succecded In getting out1 a
thin, soaplike substance, which ful
filled the long-felt want with some
success; but*the difficulty was that It
weakened the fabric and took away
the natural luster. Thus Japanese silk
has been steadily losing the popularity
It once enjoyed and Its market has
from time, to time been encroached
upon by the Italian product.
Mr. Tnouye has now bit upon a meth
od of strengthening the elasticity and
strength of the fabric, and at the
same time greatly facilitating the
spinning Into thread. One more bene
fit from this process will be that man
ufacturers will be able to obtain 16
per cent, more produce than by tbe
old-fashioned way.
Furthermore, the new substance has
an antlgerm and anticorrodlng effect,
and will not Injure the hands of oper
atives. Some time ago an American
Is reported to have discovered a chem
ical compound which would preserve
?silk; and this Is said to be something
similar In composition to the Japanese
invention.
OYSTERS RODE IN TAXICABS
They Were From France and New
York Frenchmen. Craved Them
for Dinner.
B. L. Bowles Is an express agent of
unusual patience. He spent the last
day of tbe year cold, but hopeful, on
the French line pier, answering tele
phone calls from three French restau
rants, and merely smiled when, for*
the thlrty-flfth time, a chef asked
about "the oyster."
"Please, La Lorraine, where is he
with the oyster?" said the Impatient
chef.
"Sho la still down the bay," said
Bowles. "I think she will be here be
fore six."
"What Is It the diners will do If the
oysters do not come?"
When the chefs called up again Mr.
Bowles had n<$ time to answer. He
was busy with the customs officials ar
ranging for the release of the oystera,
which were In sacks.
"Are thede thinga brought here for
breeding purposes?" asked the Inspec
tor.
"No," said Bowles. "They are
French oysters, called 'marennes
vertes,' for eating purposes. There
are about two hundred Frenchmen in
this town who want to eat these oys
ters tonight with their New Year's
dinner. I've got 200 dozen of them
and three taxlcabs are ready to take
them to the restaurants."
At 7:25 p. m., when the taxlcabs
had gone north with the oysters, Mr.
Bowles went into a booth and talked
to the three chefs at once. The
thanks that came simultaneously over
the irtre were too profuse and mud
dled to permit of translation. ? New
York Tribune.
Novel Way to Rett.
It seems Imperative for a certain
member of the family to rest an hour
after the noon meal each day. The
weather had grown mild, and to draw
the shades so aB to exclude the light
kept out the air also, so the siesta
lost much of Its Refreshing quality.
A thick pad of absorbent gauze
some eight inches long and four
Inches wide was finished with an elas
tic band Just tight enough to hold the
pad securely. This was slipped Into
place over the eyes.
Days when the eyes burned or ach*
ed a compress wet with cool salt and
water was placed under the pad, and
eyes and nerves were soothed at the
same time. By the last named means
the eyes were strengthened and the
crow's feet Indicative of eye strain
were ironed out. ? Harper's Bazar.
Dead Slang.
Is there anything so dead as dead
slang? It must be quite fresh, or it
offends the nostril, And no one should
talk slang without the assurance that
it is both infantile and immortal. John
Galaworthy Is modern. And In "The
Han of Property" he produces the
slang expression of the eighties. "A
. daverdy woman," It is a term of oon
tempt for a weman. But is there any
one born 4h the eighties who could
explain that slang term, or remem
tors it? You must get your slang
fresh ? there Is little of it that stands
the tinned preservation.
Justifiable Suspicion.
*1 guess I must be getting old.**
"Why do you think so?"

gloves on the sidewalk this morning
and 1 permitted another man to beat
me to It"

Man on the
Wire
Kathleen stirred uneasily In the
big chair by tbe Are. A fitful wind bad
blown up to disturb a caliu twilight.
Tbe girl glanced up at the cloek
and stilled a sigh. Her parent# would
not return for another two hours and
Kathleen had begun to feel the lone
llness of being In a house In tbe coun
try with only a little yellow dog for
companionship. ?
tiven Mike had grown restless aa
he snoozed by the Are and Kathleen
watched his little body tremble with
inward growls as the creeking of a
door or the gentle tapping of branches
on the window disturbed his slumber.
"Mlket If you were not such a nice
little yellow dog I would wish you
were a Great Dane or some ferocious
beast so that I wouldn't feel ao spooky.
Kathleen turned again to her maga
zine but the steadily rising wind be
gan to play havoc with her nerves and
when the telephone clashed a loud
ring she sprang from her chair Jh
sheer fright.
Kathleen went to the telephone but
no answer rewarded ber. The number
had not been rung, Central Informed
her.
8he returned to her chair but before
she had seated herself another sharp
ring startled her. Again no one had
called the number. Kathleen spoke
with asperity to Central. v
"The telephone certainly rang!"
"Probably It Is the wind," came
back from Central and Kathleen hung
up the receiver.
She went to her chair determined
not to be disturbed again.
Tbe imperious ring did not come
but a gentle, regular tinkling of the
bell continued.
Mike still growled Inwardly but
Kathleen became absorbed In her
story.
Gradually, however, she became con
bcIous that while the wind had abated
there still continued that maddening
tinkle of the telephone bell.
Switching on the lights as she went
Kathleen made her way to the back, of
the house and there her nerves again
played her false.
A low sound, much as of some one
calling, came from the outside world.
Mike set up a deafening bark.
A distinct "Hello" now came through
the window. Kathleen gathered all
her courage and peered. out. The light
from the room streamed full force on
a man's face.
"Who is there V she called out.
In a semi-conscious way Kathleen's
eyes had traveled beyond the man
and she saw, there in the great oak
branches, that which had onoe been
in airship.
"I am here ? Just now," came In a
weak but deep voice, "I am hanging by
my ? belt- ? when that gives out ? "
"Oh!" Kathleen had vanished from
the window and now with Mike close
at her heels she came Bwiftly from
the kitchen door.
"I will get you the step ladder!" She
called to the man.
Kathleen struggled there in the
moonlight with the great ladder and
even in bis almost tragic position
Oranger had the power to pdmlv# the
rure, swift movement of the little fig
ure.
It was with a superhuman effort
that be managed to get his feet plant
ad on the ladder the girl held beneath
blm.
When he reached the ground he
toppled over. "my breath ? It's al
most gone? M He lay still for a mo
ment and the girl bent over him.
"I'll be all right ? in a minute ? when
my diaphragm gets to working." He
aat up, "You saved my life," he said
and looked wonderingly Into her face.
"I was out ? like an idiot ? for a
short moonlight sail in the air," the
man explained. "It was calm When
I started but, that wind ? " He cast a
rueful ghtn?e at the huge wreck In
the tree. "I must have hung by that
te&her belt for fifteen minutes. I
could* by swinging, touch some wires,"
A silvery laugh rang out. "You cer
tainly did touch some wires."
The man echoed her laugh and It
Old not seem strange to Kathleen that
she was sitting In the back garden
with' a perfectly strange man.
"It has be^n an experience," Grang
er remarked, "but one that I do not
oare to try again."
"I am forgetting," Kathleen said
with quick thought, "that you may be
badly in need of ? "
"No. no ? that ts toe much to ask ? ?
after you have saved my life," Granger
exclaimed and arose to his feet
Kathleen was silent a moment, then
she looked up at the man. "I believe
? I am a little afraid to go back In
the house ? alone," ahe said shyly,
"and the lire In the sitting room needa
another log. They are very heavy
logs and them are some fresh dough*
nuts In the house and?"
"Please . don't say any mom?'*
laughed Granger.
She continued. "I am going to make
some coffee and wait up for
and papa ?o that I can hear an about
the play." She drew close to Granger.
"I hate to do all these things alone.**
"I am Tom Granger," he said and
kept his voice steady, "and completely
at your service."
Kathleen smiled and stooped Quick*
ly to pick up the little yellow dog.
"Mike," the said breathlessly, "tell
(Mr. Granger that your name Is Mike
