VALUABLE FIBRE MADE . BY WATER-ROTTING PROGESS. Discovery of Prof. Oswald Richter, an Austrian Chemist. Berlin, June 7.—That a nettle fibre of high value for making textiles can be recovered easily and cheaply by the Wwater-rotting process, that a rich yield of fruit sugar is theréby ped from the plants, and that the stems make an excellent fodder is the triple discov- ery of Prof. Oswald Richter, an Austri- an chemist. He came to his ery after some fifteen years of experi- menting with ammonia solutions, only to find at fast that the fibre could be separated by rotting the plants in water. .It ali depends, however, upon krowing how to supply the water. In- till the plants were sufficiently: rotted to permit the separation of fibre and 'wGood. But this method failed com- pletely with nettles, - for the Tof Process attacked the fibre as well and destroyed it. - Richter found out the reason. Nettles ‘contain much - fruit ‘sugar, which is all steeped out during the first half day that the plants lie in water, and then a fermentation sets in. This fermentation is due to the development of ' bacteria that feed upon the -sugar and then destroy the value of the fibre. After Richter established those facts he had only to draw off the water after soak- ing the nettles for twelve hours, and then.turn on fresh water. Now an- other class of “bacteria, which do not attack the fibre, is dcveloped, and rot- ting proceeds-as normaily as with flax. The machinery for separating fibre and stalk is the samc as for hemp, and existing spinning _and weaving ma- chines are used irf making nettle cloth, with probably a few minor changes. The cloth is already being actually made in Austria. “About 1,000 tons of the fibre was produced there last year under the auspices of the government, which turned it over to various fac- tories to be worked up. It is claimed that the fibres are from two to twelve inches long. After having been wash- ed in a soap solutlon they are very soft and produce a cloth having a fine lustre. The yarn is pronounced con- siderably stronger than flax yarn, hence nettle cloth should prove re- markably “durable. ‘While the supply of wild nettle in Germany and Austria is practically in- exhaustible, it is assumed that it will be necessary to cultivate the plant in order to get the best results. In that case practically the only expense will e to plant the fields once with roots- of the wild nettle and harvest the crops during the next ten years. no further planting being necessary. A German ) writer estimates that under the least favorable circumstances nettle fibre canbe laid down at the factory at 14 cents &cwund which is hardly more than the average price of cotton in Germany before the war, -But calculation ignoreg the value of the fruit-sugar and the refuse. As Rich- ter found that the sugar contained in the bark®of the plant runs as high as 8 per cent., he concludes that it is one of the most valuable sugar plants Rnowh in Europe. Also he found that cattle prefer ‘the stems to most other kinds qf feed, and the leaves are ailso| eaten by them with relish. In view of these facts, it would seem .that the practical cost of the spinning fibre might be considerably reduced below the figure mentioned. : Richter assumes that his discovery will \yield equally satisfactory results with ramie, which has hitherto bafiled all efforts to find a cheap and work. able method. for separating .its fibre; but he“l:- not yet d:‘mox:tnml thl’: by actual 'experimen: ramie Known to be about the best fibre plant in existence, it will at’ onece. spring into the foremost as a commercial fibre producer if Richter's expectations should be realized. .Between nettles and ramie, therefore, there is danger Excellent work was done by in “Chatge of the auto traffic and parking of the machines. As soon| as they got well acquainted with the| both used. things went very smoothly, with no hitches -or accidents of any ‘kind. - Approximateiy 160 - automobiles ‘were handled by the hoys, at the two ‘performances. Scouts’ Questions Answeéred. Q. “What is meant by junior and senior patrol ‘leaders and what are their requirements? A. In some lo- calities a plan has been worked out providing for junior patrol leaders ‘who serve as assistants. to the senior patrol leader. In other localities the senior patrol leader is the ranking pa- trol leader of three or more patrol leaders and the others are referred to as junior patrol leaders. - Natjonal Headquarters does not specifically prc- vide for this form of organization of a uw% Q.

The total value of slate of all kinds sold int United States in 1915 was $4,958,515, acording to the United States Geological Survey. This was a decrease of 13 per cent ¢ompered with 1914, The salds of roofing slate in 1915 were 967,780 squares, valued at $3,745,934, and of mill stock 4,576,112 square feet, valued at $819,672.

I would Iike to know whether tenderfoot scouts are required to know Scout Law, word for word, or just trustworthy, joyal, biclpful, etc.? A.

The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near its perfection as we ean possibly conceive. The sanitation m the factories in which it is packed is beyond repreach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding -of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the t grade of .New York State, where in our opinion is grown the flavored apple known. The raisizs used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procurring the very. highest grade of ‘spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ- ent flavors or different grapulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoromghly cleaned and hand-picked people trained to know what should exd should ‘not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house- by far than she could by the greatest authorities on roducts.
