Profit It ? M>ntag Tuk TEPHEN K1COLETO, a citizen of Philadelphia, demonstrates in his own performances thst silk cul ture Is as easy as the Department of Agriculture eaya it is. His work or raining U># worn ? and cOcoor.s Is carried on bj way of exiierinieut and as a pastime. Mr. Nieoletti Is. Indeed, an authority on tbe subject and well known to all who have been Interested In advocating the taking up of tbe cul ture of silk, and he says that wliUe It Is perfectly simple up to tbe point of producing tbe cocoons, beyoud tbat proccss tbe wages paid in America are too high to permit of competition with Jupan. China. Italy and other countries from which the annual Importations of raw silk auiouut to about $42,000, 0<M). What the Government Is doing, through the Department of Agricul ture. to popularize tbe raising of silk worms in this country, and to what extent it Is willing to go?even sending silk worm feggs and instructions and cuttings of mulberry trees to all who desire them?was fully set forth in an article which appeared In this paper some time ago. As there explained, the Government offers to buy at the highest market price, until Congress shall refuse further aid, all cocoons tbat are offered In good condition, and the business is one In which there ap pears to be an easy profit for the cul turist. ANYBODY CAN RAI8E COCOON8. It Is. however, In the process of reeling the silk from tbe cocoons tbat the question of wages enters. It is an operation of extreme delicacy, and, though machines are used to perform It. one of which has been brought from France and set up in Washington, they still require the attention of skilled labor. Mr. Kicolettl thinks tbe indus try will not be firuily and widely established in this country until there shall have been invented a more per fect machine, which will more com pletely do away with manual labor. It may b?, indeed, that In certain parts of the South and In other remote dis trlcts tbe price of American labor Is cheap enough for this industry; but such labor is in no sense skilled. It takes an especial training to reel the silk from the cocoon, and the time spent in acquiring such training can. of course, be devoted to a trade that will pay more. The idea of the Govern ment and other agencies which have encouraged the growing of silk wortnn is that the business may be entered into on a large or small scale by people of small means all over the country and the cocoous sold. The raising of these cocoons is a household industry in all the silk-producing countries of the world. The production of the silk from the worm is an interesting study. Mr. Nieoletti secured half an ounce of eggs from Italy for his start. The eggs are about the sixe of pin-heads, and about 100 of them weigh a grain. They may be hatched very rapidly. Immediately after being laid, by artificial means; otherwise the hatching would require several months. The resulting ?worms are put to feeding on mulberry leaves at once. They eat for four or Ave days, and then sleep for two, when they awske and feed again. This is re peated until, after the fourth feeding, they are ready to make the cocoon. In this condition, when they are techni cally known as "ripe." they are from one and one-half to two inches In length. They are permitted to make their cocoons in such a way that when complete they will be handling in quan tity. The making of the cocoon requires from eight to twelve days, the time from the hatching of the egg to the finished cocoon being about five weeks, lu such time, with the quantity of eggs used by Mr. Nieoletti, cocoons may be produced to the value of $50 or $60. and, of course, this income may be in creased according to the size of tbe premises used and the quantity of mul berry leaves and eggs available. Mr. Nieoletti has trouble in getting all the leaves he needs. He goes Into the coun try after them himself. When the cocoon is finished the In sect inside. If left to Itself, develops into a moth. This emerges from the cocoon by making a hole in one end. which ruins the silk of the cocoon, and, accordingly, such cocoons ax are wanted to reel silk from are linked sufficiently to kill the flioth while it is still inside. When eggs are needed the moth is permitted to live and come out. The male moth dies after one fertilization, and the female dl?s after laying the eggs. Mr. Nlcoletti's apparatus is very simple, lie has his worms, moths and cocoons in a small room, and the var ious processes are conducted by the in sects in fruit boxes, old baskets and about whatever else comes handy. The work is easy and requires not very much attention except at certain times. Indeed, any intelligent child can conduct It from beginning to the end, so that there is nothing in the way of starting a fad of It, the worms and moths making interesting pets. The co<*oous vary in color from n brilliant though not deep yellow to white. The exterior is nearly useless for producing silk, though Mime Inferior grades are sometimes made from it. The cocoous to be reeled are put for a little while lu hot water to soften them and to allow the outer f 117,7, to lie removed by brushes, and then, still in water, nre manipulated until the end of the thread Is sccur<*d. re comes in the skilled labor, which in Japan and China Is very chap. Half of all the silk this country Imports comes from Japan, *10.000.000 from Italy and $8,000,000 from China. France, where labor Is better paid, sends little more than $2,000,000 worth. ONE WORM MAKES 1000 YARDS. A cocoon contains from 1200 to ItlOO yards of extremely fine si'k thread, and four or more cocoons are reeled simultaneously and the fibres Joined together to make one strand. Thl* product is known as raw allk, and still neeas mucb expert budlinc berore tb? final product Is ready for weaving. Tbe Idea that If a ?Ilk worm la fed ou mulberry .lea vea, which are easily se cured. it will "do the rest" In the In dustrious production of yards and yards of silk lms always beeu a fascin ating one. and cruxes for the encourag Uient of the Industry, fostered by tbe local or general Oovernment. have frcm tint* to time swept over the country. The colonists had tbe fevet In William Peuu'a time. Prizes and premiums were offered for the best co coons. large plantings of mulberry trees were made, a reeling establish ment was opened on Arch street, and on one occaaion Dr. Benjamin Frank lin presented to the Queen of Kugland a silk dress made In this city from co coons grown and reeled here, and sht accepted It with a promise that slie would wear It on the king's birthday. This furore died out eutirely, but sev eral times in the past century It sprung up agaiu. and the American Silk Cul ture Association of the United States, which existed here only a few years ago. was very active. Plans were at one time considered by Wharton Bark er and others for the n'-qulsltlon of land in the vicinity of Vlneland, N. J., for the establishment of the Indus try on a large scale, but they fell through. The situation seems to be wait ins for the man who will invent a machine which will make as great a revolution ns did the sewing machine. ?Philadelphia Record. THE EFFECTS OF FASTING. fatal After Ten D*ti If Ko Water B? Tali? Soma Benefits. Every living body requires a quan tity of food that Is commensurate with the tissues it consumes In the perfor mance of its functions. When nourish ment is withheld, says the Youth's Companion, the body Is forced to sub sist on Its own tissues. The fat Is first appropriated, then the muscles and other structures. The emaclatiou and loss of strength are so rapid that life has rureiy been maintained longer than ten days when neither food nor drink was taken. If. however, an abundance of water Is drunk, the wast, ing is greatly retarded and life can be supported for a much longer time provided thut the body is kept at com plete rest. Thus restricted, fasting is often made a valuable adjunct to other measures In tbe treatment of dis ease. A limitaiton ?f tbe diet; Is more frequently resorted to than an entire withdrawal of nourishment. Restriction of diet is often valuable ulso as a means of preventing illness. Most persons not employed in manual labor eat more than is requisite for their support. Overeating seldom yields an increase of nutrition. The excess of food, on the contrary, im poses a burden upon the liver, kidneys und other organs whose ottiee Is to free the blood of effete matter. When this burden becomes excessive. Illness is induced. Headache, loss of appe tite, lassitude, and all the other symp toms commonly assembled under the term "biliousness" are the usual mani festations of it. The accumulation of poisons is further favored by neglect of drink, when too little water Is taken into the system to maintain the secre tions and carry off the waste. The waste products which result from an overindulgence in meat are more acutely poisonous than those from vegetables. They belong to the uric acid group of poisonous sub stances, which are regarded as partic ularly active in the production of gout, rheumatism and neuralgia. Or if the quantity cf animal food taken be so excessive and remain so long in the Intestines as to undergo decom position through the action of bnc teria ptomaine-poisoning is produced, and It may be so severe as to be dis tinguished with difficulty from ty phoid fever. In the less severe cases relief 1s promptly secured by abstaining from meat for a few days, hastening the re moval of the toxic matter by the drink. Ing of as much pure water as the stom ach will tolerate, or by means of a laxitlve mineral water. Muscular ex? ercise and bathing are also advanta geous for prevention. White Man Treated by Indian. Charles Miller, a clerk in the land office who Iiiis been atllicted for a num ber of months with rheumatism, has adopted the usual method of taking treatment from an Indian medicine man. Recently Simon Billy (Foloba), of Kufaula. began a treatment which Mr. Miller declares is curing him. Billy is a fullblood Creek. He Is about t*.fty years of age, and has been a medicine man since his boyhood. In bis treatment of Miller he uses inedi- 1 cine made from herbs steep.<d In an ' earthen jmt over which Incantations j are said and mystic sought are sung while the preparation Is being made. His manner of administering tbe medi cine is also of mii unreal n:\ture. This is believed to be the only In stance in recent years wherein a white man has had sufficient confidence in tbe Indian medicine man to employ his services.?Kansas City Journal. Men Versa* Women.

For expeits in building, the recent conflagration in Baltimore is as in teresting as are the fights between Russia and Japanese fleets for de signers and constructors or battleships. It is said that most of the experts who have examined the rnins have concluded that brick and terra cotta J are better materials than almost any I kind of natural stone for resisting heat, j The theory has been advanced that the spread of the fire was. In many cases, caused by superheated air driven be fore the wind. The air was so hot a1 a distance of 500 or 600 feet that it was impossible to face it. Sometimes buildings 300 or 400 feet beyond the limits of the fire, and protected against sparks, burst Into smoke and flame within, and begun to burn from the in side. Some huge structures had theii iron fire procf shutters blown open a? if by tlie sudden expansion of heated air within them. Regular air-soundings, with kites and balloous carrying registering appara tun. are now made in the United States, Germany and Denmark, for gaining :i better knowledge of the atmosphere j and its problems. On a liill near VI- J borg. in Jutlaul, a two-story tower, | about thirty feet high, is mounted on rails so as to be revolv<?d, one side I being' open and kept away from tlio | wind. It is equipped with register ing Instruments, electric motor, two windlasses, etc., for starting kites, while other buildings contain work shops, small balloous. steam engine and accommodations for the director and five assistants. Kites are flown with steel wire of 0.0 to 1.:; kilometer, and easily reach two hundred yards in height, but attain three thousand or four thousand yards with difficulty and only by the use of auxiliary kites. After a recent break of a wire one , kite was recovered at a distance of loO miles. Dreary tlh of Poor in Rosa!*.

A French Bicycle Tax. According to an official statement Just published, 1,810.223 bicycles were taxed In France in being 103,841 more than In 1002. The Department of the Seine (Paris) had Ihe largest num ber (244.380) and Corsica the smallest (337i. The number of motor cycles was UUU0. and of Automobiles 10,886. la th? early part of the last century there were fewer factories in this couu. try than now. and man) thins* were made by hud which to-day are the work of machinery. This waa espe cially true of the braid for straw tutx. Rye straw was commonly used, al though wheat was also In demand. But the rye straw had longer stems uud was more easily handled. .In driving along coumry road*. !n Mnxuchuwtts particularly, late in the summer, one would see great bundles of the straw hauglug on the feuces to | dry. When the nun and wind had done their share of the work, it was placed in casks where sulphur was burning j until it was bleacluil to a pale yellow. Then it was split luto narrow widths suitable for braiding. The daughters of farmers did not hare many pennies of their own in those days, and nil were eager to earn money by braiding straw. Every lit tle while men would pass through the villages, calling from house to house and buying the straw braid. They paid two cents a yard for it. "District school" was in session only six months of the year?the rest of the time the children helped their mothers with the housework. When that was done they took up their braids for amusement and occupation. So tui^ch a day every girl expected to do as her dally "stint." She would carry it down by the brook or up In the apple tree when the summer days were long: or during the stormy hours of winter she would go with It to the old attic wh?re the swing hung from the cobwebbed rafters. But all the time her Angers must work busily, lest the men should call for the braids and find them uu finished. The factories where the straw was sewed were in the large towns. The simplest hats were of the braids alone. More elaborate ones had a fancy cord, also of plaited straw, sewed on the edge of the braid. This straw was made by the old ladies. Grandmothers and greataunts whose eyes were too dim to sew would take their hnlls of straw with them on nclgbborh<K>d calls. While they chatted together, their hands would be wearing the yellow strands in and out, fashioning the dainty cord. The price paid for the cord was only half a cent a yard, but this was better than nothing to those dauies of a by gone generation. A poor country girl would begin to think of her hat from the time of seed-sowing. All summer she would watch the billowy- grain. When it was gathered and only the empty siaiks were left, she would tie them into bundles and hang them in soino sheltered nook to dry. Bleaching, split ting and braiding?these she did her self. When the braids were finished and sent to the factory, how impatient she waited! Perhaps grandma contrib uted some of the cord she had made last winter that the new hat might be more beautiful. At last the hat came home, and then what tryiugs on there were before the old gilt-framed mirror in the parlor! How lovingly Its owner handled It as she placed it this way or that on her curly head. Oh. a new straw hat was indeed a thing well worth having In those days of the long ago.?Adele 11. Baldwin, in St. Nicholas. Simple Kxprrlniont to Prove Karth Hound . Although it was demonstrated more i than 'JOOO years ago that the earth is globular in form, there are certain per. ' sons who maintaiu that it is Hat. About thirty years ago a controversy on tiie subject waxed s6 hot that it was determined to put the matter to direct experiment in order to settle the question once for all. The place chosen was near Bedford, England, where there is a straight six mile stretch of water. At both ends and in the middle of this water posts were erected, each of the same definite height above the water level. Upon looking with a telescope along the tops of these three posts It was clearly seen that the centre one overtopped the others by about six feet, owing to the curvature of the surface of tho earth. These experiments were recently re peatej In a more scientific manner by H. \ule Oldham, who read a paper ou the subject before the Glasgow meet ing of the British Association. The same results were obtained, with the important difference that by tho em ployment of a tele-photographic Ions and camera the six foot prominence of the middle pest was recorded in ?an unmistakable manner.?Philadel phia liccord.
