Rome ha« been the scene of a remarkable diplomatic campaign. The Kaiser's ablest diplomat. Prince Buelow. former Chancellor of the German Empdre. brought every available in- flAienoe to bear upon King Victor Emmanuel and his Government to induce them to adhere to their pol- icy of neutrality; while, on the oliier hand, France and Russia were endeavoring to persuade Italy to cast in her lot with the Allies and to join in the fra^-. Both tihe Triple Entente and Ger- many held out inducements of a territorial character. Those of tlie Allies were of a more extensive character, but involved expendi- ture of much Italian blood and trearsure. Those offered by Ger- many awid -Vustria were less exten- sive, but could be obtained wiCh- ou(t any fighting. Prince Buelow's offers would, therefore, have been more certain of acceptance had it not been for the fact that jxjpular sentiment throughout the length Mid breadth of the penijisula and ill the island of Sicily was over- whelmingly in favor of Italy's mak- ing common cause with the Allies, against Grermany, and particularly against .\ustria, whom the lieges of King Victor Emmanuel had al- ways been taugiht to look upon as tihedr arch enemy. The importance uf Italy's deci- the Kaiser had been led to expect. Now, however, he feels that he has nothing more to lose in this connection. Switzerland's neutral- ity, indeed, though strict, is np longer of a friendly but of a dis- tinctly unfriendly character.

Wra .Shortage Results in Di.seovery of Cheap Substitute. One of the first results of tihe quest of chemists for substitutes for dyes made in Germany is sul- phur black derived from so-called exhausted tan bark. One of tihe best known research men has de- rived some very satisfactory black dye from the inexpensive source mentioned, the basis of wliich is connected with tannic acid. At a laboratory it was said that the inventor for whom the re- searches have been conducted by the chemist for the last few months does not care at this time to make the formal announcement over his name pending certain trade ar- 1 rangements and further e.xperi- ment«. He believes that he will be able soon to improve the process greatly and present a fast black j which will be of great value to tex- j tile manufacturers and at moderate , Cost. i Although considerable quantities] of dye stuffs ha\e been coming out ; of Germany the indications are tiiat | there will be a shortage this sum- mer and the chances for the com- 1 ing year are dubious. The sulphur black substitute is especially adapt- ed for cotton. .\rchil, a vegetable dye which gives to wools varying siiades of red and brown, according to the strength of the decoction made frojn it, has been found in large quantities in Lower California. â- Phe plant from which the dye is ob- tained is worth about $2,'i a ton. The supply is said to be enormou.s Several corporations have re- tained chemists to work out dye- stuff problems. Many branches of the dye industry in this country have been in a state of suspended animation owing to the ability of the Gennans with low priced yet efficient technical help and cheap labor to produce products at prices witli which no other people could compete. * Meunin? of the Barber Pole.

He was stianding on the qiiay one forenoon when a stranger came up and asked if the water belonged to my friend. He looked at the man and jokingly replied that it did. The tide was full at the time, just wanting two feet from the top of the quay, and the newcomer's next query was a startler. "Can I get some to buy?" he asked. He was informed he could have the lot if he liked and prompt- ly requested five gallons. "I have nothing to take it away in," he continued, "but I will go up to the town and get a jar to hold it. ' Imagine my friend's surprise, when standing by the side of the vesael after the tide had gone out, he saw tlie man coming along the quay with a pitcher in each band. The water-buyer was staggered with amazement. "You must have done a roaring trade while I have been away," he exclaimed. ^^.
