German chemists report using fibrous animal refuse to make artificial silk from dead horse flesh. Acid treatment yields ultimate fibers that resemble wild silkworm threads, durable and silk-like after tanning. Threads may be vulcanized and made airtight by caoutchoue baths at four atmospheres. Potentially cheaper than silk for balloons and insulation, though spinning into thread has not yet succeeded.

Mack Tells About Campaign Money
Norman Mack former Democratic National Committee chair in 1908 testified before the senate committee on campaign funds for 1908 and 1904. He recalled rejecting Col. J. M. Guffey’s donation but later accepted it after Bryan’s defeat. He named Murphy as the largest donor with ten thousand dollars and said some Montanan sources offered funds he could not recall. He explained his refusal stemmed from not accepting corporate gifts, to avoid influencing Bryan’s campaign. The committee adjourned after his testimony.
