discouraging conditions, with a large-yield per acre. The great difficulty has been in separating the fibre from the woody stem. In a method of treatment that has been worked out in the last two or three years, the dried nettle stems are balled about half an hour in dilute soda tye, and the loosened fibres are then separated in a machine with revolving brushes. The material is then subjected to a number of alternate boilings in dilute lye and thorough washings, both under high pressure. The produzet is a mass of yellowish fibres, free from gum that can be bleached, combed and spun into lustrous white yarn, This is claimed to have the smoothness and softness of flax, with a strength even greater than that of hemp, The yarn has been made into brilliant damasle, and can be used-alone or with other threads for upholsterics, ribbons, and a variety of fabrics.

Tomato oil, useful for varnish and as a fuel, is now made from the waste of the In the pro tomato-preserving industry. vince of Parma, Italy, where 84,000 tons of tomatoes have been used in the last year, waste has been about 15 per cent., and partial freeing this from water by pressing left a mass-chiefly of seeds of about 4,000 tons. The seed mass, by cold compression, yields 18 per cent. of golden yellow oil.
FISHES IN A DUY TIME
A curious drouth survival by fishes is reported by J. Y. Buchanan. The ditch or moat of the French chateau of the Prince of Monaco completely dried up last summer, although usually a canal three miles long and so feet wido, with five feet of water. All carp, tench, perch and pike disappeared, leaving dry mud. A sudden rainfall about October 1st supplied a little water, and the fishes were actually scen rising-as lively as ever-frem the mud in which they had buried themselves.

MELTING CONCRETE SAFES,
In a recent English test of the burglar proof qualities of vaults of reinforced con- crete, a slab of the material six inches thick was perforated with a hole 33 inches in diameter by means of the oxyacetylene blowpipe. When a steel bar was reached, it was instantly fused away by directing a jet BT popular English Manufacturers In all ning to buildings on snow-covered moun-

The remarkable increase in the height and weight of "boys at the Grammar School of Manchester, Eng., in the years 1905-10, as compared with those of 1881-6, is attributed by Dr. A. A.
