clever piece o f detective work,
which must appeal with sad and crush­
ing suggestiveness to the crook frater­
nity, has been done in Toledo. A barber
for some time missed cigars from the
case in his shop. A t first only a few
cigars were taken, but presently the
thieves became bolder ami took whole
boxes. A watch was set anil detectives
were employed, but till in vain. A t last
the barber struck on the idea of having
an automatic detecter tixed in the shop
and he called in an electrician. A cam­
era was arranged so as to cover the cigar
case, and a flashlight apparatus and the
camera were connected by wires with
the sliding door o f the cigar case, so
that when the door was opened tho wires
would be brought together. The circuit
thus formed would produce a Hash and
secure instantaneously a picture of the
thieves. For tw elve days the cigars
were unmolested, hut on the morning of
the unlucky thirteenth tho thieves were
prompted to try their hand again.
The plate was taken from the camera
and deveh>i>ed, anil on it was seen a
unique and interesting picture, contain­
ing tho likenesses o f tw o juveniles who
wore in the uct of stealing tho cigars.
Every detail in the shop was distinctly
seen, tho clock showing the time at
which tho youngsters’ little iqierations
were interfered with, and tho mixture
o f cunning uml caution on tho face of
tho boy who was evidently taking the
active part in securing the booty wus
intensely amusing. Tho Isiys were at
once recognized, were arrested, tried
and sent to a reformatory, and the judge
commended from tho bench the ingenu
ity of the means of detection employed,

I f W. W. Cleaver, of Unadilla, who is
reported as having 25,000 silkworms at
work, can demonstrate the possibility of
making $100 a month by silk culture on a
small scale, he may bring on another craze
like that of 1838. A fter nearly 300 years of
experiment it is pretty well established
that the silkworm may be made to thrive
in this country and over quite three-
fourths of its area; but in spite of this the
silk manufacturing Industry has grown to
great proportions in the United States
without material aid from growers of na­
tive silk, and the native product cuts no
figure in the consumption of the mills.
The experiment of growing raw silk has
gone on persistently almost since the day
that the first permanent colonist set foot
upon the continent. Cortez brought silk­
worms to Mexico in 1522, and James I tried
to send eggs t*> Virginia iu 1009, only two
years after the settlement of Jamestown,
but failed because of a shipwreck. Ten
years later Virginians were urged to raise
silk, and penal statutes were passed en­
joining the industry upon the colonists.
Nearly every state in the Union be*»
sought to encourage silk culture, and all
.sorts of societies have been formed to pro-
inots^Jieindustry. The victims of John
Law ’s West India scheme were allured
with the hope of successful silk culture in
America. When Georgia was settled iu
1732 grant* of land were made, with tin
stipulation that for every ten acres lot
white mulberry trees should be planted
Georgia developed the industry to a greater
degree than any other colony. The lir-t
shipment of Georgia silk to Kngland wii «
made in 1735. It weighed eight, pounds.
A filature for reeling raw silk was » stab
fished at Savannah in 1750, and iu K'i!
Gtiorgia exported 10,000 pounds of silk to
Kngland. A fter that cotton came in, ami
being more profitable than silk drove tin-
latter out, just as tobacco had driven it
out in Virginia more than 100years b.-fon-.
Some silk was raised in Georgia even »lin­
ing the Revolutionary war, ami there was
a small export trade as late as 1790.
For nearly 100 years there was a deter
mined effort to grow silk in Connecticut.
In 1H19 five tons of raw silk were grown at
Mansfield, and for several years tin- value
of Connecticut's raw silk product »exceeded
$100,0» mi p» r year. President Stiles, of Y a le
eollege, grew’ silkworms and wrote a book
on silk culture. During the last twenty
five years of the colonial period experi
inenta ill silk culture were made in Penn
sylvania, New York, New Jersey and
Maryland. The Revolutionary war, how­
ever, interrupted (lie experiments, arid a
plan of Heujamin Franklin's to build a
filature for reeling silk in Philadelphia
was given up.
The industry had so much decreased i ;
17>>t» that a newspaper of the day mentions
ns a*remarkable fact that a family in
Maryland had 2,000 silkworms at work.
Now, an ounce of fertile eggs will produce
nearly 40,000 worms. In 1790 there wen*
fifty families iu New Haven raising silk­
worms, and a local paper hoped it wonl I
soon lie disreputable for a lady or gentle­
man to he found wealing t.hick silk not of
native growth. A company iu Rhode
Island had 30,000 mulberry trees growing
iu 1835, and the legislature offered a bounty
of fifty cents a pound on raw silk grown
within the state. A newspaper declared
that Rhode Island was likely to take the
lead in the manufacture of silk as of cot­
ton.
in 1840 so greatly had tlie industry
grown that tho United States exported
01,552 pounds of raw silk, and in 1844 near­
ly 400,(MX) pounds, but in 1850 the export
was only 14,763 pounds. It was in the
period between 1825 and 1850 that the great
craze for silk raising seized tho middle
states. A company with the president of
a learned society at its head was formed
for the furtherance of the industry in Penn­
sylvania. A Frenchman came out from
Lyons to teacii the art of managing silk­
worms, and elaborate instructions were
printed. The craze spread into Delaware
and Maryland. It was urged that this in­
dustry could lie carried on at home, and
that it furnished easy ami profitable w’ork
for women and children. In those days
American women were more easily im­
pressed with the glamour of royalty, and it
was represented that, royal ladies in all
times hud been deeply interested iu silk*
culture. Huudrcdsof homes became the
scene of the industry and dainty girls
sedulously gathered mulberry leaves to
feed those ravenous worms. Everybody
was in a flutter of excitement at the pros­
pect. Thousands of mulberry trees were
planted, and some of them or their de
scendaiits still linger.
An almost fatal disaster, attended with
curious manifestations, overtook the silk
growers of Pennsylvania in 1838-9. It was
represented that the Chinese or South Sea
mulberry was iu every way us suitable
as the white mulberry t»i feed silk­
worms. Thereupon there begun to ! h ) a
great speculution in t he ( ’hinese mullierry.
One nurseryman ordered 5,(XX),000 of the
plants from France, and sent over #80,OK)
iit gold to bind the bargain. Tiny twigs
brought one and two dollars apiece. au«l
were sold two or three times in rapid suc­
cession, each time at an advance. The
speculation was like that which raged in
the »laysof tlie tulip craze. Late in 1839
the colla{>se came, and in the spring of
1840 the Chinese mulberry sold at two and
three cents each. W hile the speculation
was at its height #300,(XH) changed hands
for plants »luring one week in i ’ hilmicl
pliia alone.
In 1844 many of the Chinese mulberry
plants were killed by a severe frost, and
even Connecticut was discouraged.
It
was then that the New Kngland capitalists
set about building mills and Importing
raw silk.
Tito hope of growing raw silk has per
sistently maintained a foothold in Phila­
delphia, and that city is the home of the
Woman's Silk Culture association. I.orin
Hlodgett told the Franklin instit ute alsmt
ten years ago that there could be no doubt
that it was possible to grow raw silk in
this country at a moderate profit. He
thought it must he done on a small scale

T I T I T I I O U T a parallel in the history of educational enterprise stands the offer of the O r e g o n ia n

to its thousands of friends and readers. Such an offer has never been made before, and it
should have your careful consideration. The offer has already resulted in placing over
twelve carloads of these valuable books in the homes of Portland and vicinity. The O r e g o n ia n ' s
contract with the publishers, whereby it has been enabled to offer this great library at such extra­
ordinary rates, expired some days ago; but for a large consideration an extension of contract for a
few days was obtained. You still have time to make this opportunity your own if you cut out one
of the acceptance blanks and m ail it immediately.
T h e E n c y c l o p e d i a B r i t a n n i c a stands highest
in the W orld of Books, as well as in physical
proportions as in literary work. In its entirety
it contains 250,000 subjects, 22,000 pages, or an
average of 800 pages to each volume, 10,643 il­
lustrations, exclusive of maps and plans, of which
there are 671— more than one-third of them col­
ored maps.
It ia the moat gigantic aa well as the moat highly
esteemed literary work that the brain of man ever ac­
complished. Filty-two of its articles on special subjects
have been adopted as text books in the Colleges of the
World.
This is the Encyclopædia—this is the mine of infor­
mation which is now offered you through the O r e g o n ia n
at the rate of 10 cents a day.
With this in your possession you will have the infor­
mation of the whole world within your reach. Besides,
you will have secured a means by the nee of which your
child will be raised in the world to a higher plane of
success than you were able to attain. It will equip him
with all the armament of general knowledge and specific
information that any young man has. be he rich or poor,
who takes up the battle of life in thi* generation.
