TRADE HURT BY THE WAR American Manufacturers Find Dlffl culty In Getting Materials Which Are Urgent Necessities. A firm that uses vast quantities of tissue paper and colored tracing paper in making dress patterns has been seriously embarrassed because the materials from which these are made come principally from Germany and the supply ceased when the war began. Tissue paper is made from old rope, jute and certain kinds of rags. The coating of the colored tracing paper is made in Germany from materials that are sent from South America. At this writing the owner of this pattern concern was searching for materials for the paper factory and meeting with little success, lie said the chief difficulty was in getting enough of the right kind of rags. There is also a great shortage oif jute, owing to the enormously increased quantity of twine that has been used since the parcel post was started—so much so that the post office department has urged postmasters and railway postal clerks to save the string and use it over again whenever possible. According to Technical World magazine, ahiiost all the jute comes from India ; it is always costly and there is often a shortage. As for the colored fracing paper, efforts are now being made to import the coloring materials direot from South America and to make the coloring here. OUGHT TO BE APPRECIATED Testimonial to the Government of tha United States Surely la Worth Preservation. One of the most interesting social events of the present brilliant military social season seems likely to escape without proper notice. A lot of wealthy Americans momentarily stranded in Genoa by reason of war paid SIOO,OOO or more for a ship to carry them home. They arrived here in great luxury, but on the way over it occurred to them that it would be a good idea to denounce the American government, and they did so in approved form. On second thought, however, when they had been better informed, they concluded that they had made a mistake, and. the convention having assembled, it was decided that tlie state, war and navv and treasury departments deserved commendation for what they had done to rescue American tourists in Europe. In due form this indorsement of the United States of America has been transmitted to Washington and we hope that it will be duly appreciated. What asses some Americans are!—New York World. WA3 NOTED EDUCATOR. Daniel Kirkwood, a theoretic scientist of large attainments, especially in mathematics and astronomy, waa born in Bladensburg, Aid., 100 years ago. After graduating from the York academy, in Pennsylvania, he was for some years an instructor in mathematics at that institution. He went to Delaware college in 1851 and for several years was president of the college. In 1856 he accepted an offer of the professorship of mathematics at Indian university. He continued to fill this position for thirty years, with the exception of , the two years following the close of the Civil war, when he was proses- i sor of mathematics and astronomy at Washington and Jefferson college. ' Doctor Kirkwood retired from Indi- 1 ana university in 1886 and resided at Riverside, Cal., until his death in 1 1895. ; CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. 1 “I stepped into the conservatory ‘ and caught young Mr. Pimlico trying to hug Miss Peacher.” “Did they see vou ?” “No.” “Did he hug her?” “I suspect so.
