INCREASES OUTPUT OF SILK

NEW RICHMOND RECORD.

HELD COMPANY NOT LIABLE

Valuable Discovery of Japanese Scientist Given to His Country by Patriotic Citizen.

Entered at the Postfflce at New Richmond, Ind., as second class matter.

Decision of Kentucky Court of Some Interest to the Holders of Tornado Insurance.

A new method by which silkworms may be cultured ten times a year instead of twice, as at present, is reported to have been perfected in Aichi Ken, Japan. The method is very simple. Egg cards are immersed in hydrochloric acid for five to ten hours just before they are hatched. In a fortnight or twelve days after the immersion the eggs are perfectly hatched, and worms that arc stronger and more healthy than those hatched in any other way may he seen coming ottt of the shells. The silk produced by the worms thus hatched is better and longer than that produced in any other way. As the inventor of the process tells in a local paper, the silk produced by the worms bred in the newly invented way measures 1,200 feet, whereas the thread produced by the worms hatched in the ordinary way measures only 700 feet at the longest.

Liability under a policy of tornado insurance was passed on by the court of appeals of Kentucky in National Fire Insurance company vs. Crutchfield, in which it appeared that a river overflowed and surrounded certain buildings covered by policies insuring against all direct loss or damage by tornado, wind storm or cyclone, but which provided that the company should not be liable fur loss or damage occasioned by high water or overflow. The water was from one to four feet deep in each of the buildings and was rising slowly when a high wind arose which produced heavy waves that were driven against the buildings, loosening the foundations, and when the wind became more violent and the waves higher the buildings were lifted from their foundations and thrown over. It appeared that neither the overflow nor the wind storm would have caused the damage alone had not the other cause concurred with it. It was held that there could be no recovery on the policy, as the damage was not directly caused by the wind storm, since if the water had not surrounded the buildings it could not have been blown against them and that the flood was therefore at least indirectly, if not directly, the cause of the damage.

HINDERED BY CLAY STRATA

But Atlantic City Contractors Are

Still In Fair Way to Earn Bonus by Hard Fighting.

It seemed a safe bet that you could bore a hole anywhere on the beach at Atlantic City 500 feet deep and find nothing but sand. The unexpected—a thin layer of clay —was struck by the men who were putting down the foundations for the new Traymore hotel. That seeming trifle now bulks up in the shape of $57,000. The contractors, as I am informed, were to forfeit $1,500 a day for every day after a certain date that the big hotel should remain unfinished. They were also to get a bonus if it were completed on time.

The inventor further states that anyone may make use of the new process, which, although worthy of being fully protected, will not be patented, as the inventor’s sole desire is to strengthen the country’s position as a silk-producing country. The inventor is Director Kawahito of the Aichi Ken sericulture experimental station.

That unlooked-for stratum of

ilay made a difference of 38 days in getting down the piles upon which the huge concrete structure will rest. In the spirit that everybody likes to see a horse win a race in the face of handicaps, so I trust the builders will yet beat old Father Time in spite of that clay, and so win the bonus. And it looks now as if they will do it.—Philadelphia Ledger.

WORTH STOOPING TO PICK UP

CINEMAS ON THE SEA.

Aged Miner Picks Up Nugget on Mojave Desert While Out for a Pleasure Stroll.

It has been remarked before now that only a salmon stream or a golf course is necessary to add to the completeness of the equipment of the up-to-date modern liner, with its swimming baths, theaters, tennis courts and other amenities, but it has been left apparently to the Orsova, of the Orient line, to receive the first board of trade permit to carry a cinema. For the purpose of the show a stage, including a pretty drop scene, is rigged up on deck, where seating accommodation for some 1,500 spectators is provided, and noninflammable films are used, so that there is no danger of fire. In addition to the ordinary “subjects,” special films showing Australian scenes and events are provided for the benefit of emigrant passengers, and in this way serve educational as well as recreative purposes.

Thirty-five hundred dollars’ worth of gold in one chunk—a nugget weighing 10% pounds—has been found near the head of Red Rock canyon, on the Mojave, desert, by Dave Bowman, an old-time placer miner, according to Lance Underwood, who arrived in Bakersfield, Cal., from Mojave. Mr. Bowman was not prospecting when he found the nugget, according to Mr. Underwood, but was merely going into the canyon when he saw the great lump of gold. This nugget is very nearly the largest ever found in this vicinity. Mr. Bowman had no scales with which to weigh the gold, but rigged up a balance with a ten-pound hammer on one end, and the nugget at the other end proved threefourths of a pound heavier.

CHEERFUL SICKBED VISITOR

Mike's Few Words of Consolation Must Have Done His Friend Pat a Lot of Good.

Senator Henry P. Lippitt of Rhode Island smiled the other evening when the conversation turned to sweet consolation. He said he was reminded of an incident that . happened in Hew England. A party named Pat was taken quite sick and was confined to his bed for several days. One evening Mike called and found the patient exceedingly depressed. Immediately the tender-hearted Mike became very sympathetic. “Sure, Pat,” he said, in a soft and gentle voice, “do yez feel loike ye was sicker ?” “It ain’t that, Moike,” returned Pat, in a melancholy voice. “Oi’m thinkin’ av the docther. He has been here fourtane toiraes at two bones a throw, an’ Oi haven’t got a cint in the worruld.” “Don’t yez worry about the docther, Pat. Don’t yez worry about the docther!” was the consoling rejoinder of Mike. “Sure an’ he will git his’n all right. Yez have got some insurance, hain’t yez?”

FASHION OF THE MOMENT Nothing Can Stop Modern Girl From the Reigning Passion of the Day. “Throw up your hands I” the robber said. The girl still held her ground and put a little powder on her nose. She rushed out into the street and stopped as autos flew around and put a little powder on her nose. A safe was falling from n floor just nineteen stories high. “Look out!” the workmen shouted 'as the girl came tripping by. She opened up her handbag, and while others tried to fly she put a little powder on her nose. , One day the girl was ill and when the doctor said she’d die, she put a i little powder on her nose. And just i before she passed away she gave a little sigh and put a little powder , on her nose. St. Peter met her at i the gates and offered her his hand, i “Step in,” he said, “we welcome you I where all’s sublimely grand.” “Ex1 cuse me just a moment,” said the pretty maiden, and she put a little powder on her nose. — New York , World.
