Experiments with fast flying electric trains between Berlin and Hamburg, Germany have demon­strated that a speed of at least 125 miles an hour can be attained with­out difficulty. Consul-General Guenther at Frankfort, in a report on this subject, says that the high rate of speed has placed surface crossings out of the question. The outcome of the experiments is to be a line 156 miles in length, from a point adjoining the city of Berlin to a station just outside of Hamburg, its estimated cost is $33,000,000.

Remarkable to relate, wood can 1)0 utilized for soft, flowing gowns. Wood pulp silk lias been long a staple industry in the 8t. Etienne district o f France. By a secret chemical process, the pulp, is reduced to a sirnpy condition. It is then forced into tubes full of tiny holes, through which it emerges in the from of fine silk threads. These are speedily dried by being passed through a hot atmosphere and are forthwith wound onto bob­bins, ready to be woven into silk. The appearance of this unique pro­duct is said to be so natural that even experts have mistaken it for the genuine article. -It is, of course, infinitely cheaper.
