Progrees of Cotton Seed OIL NanufGe-
ture.-The industries of the South have,
since the close of our civil war, been
extending In different directions, while
some peculiar branches have attained a
degree ef importance never dreamed OF
in the days OF slavery. One Of these is
the manufacture of the oil Of cotton
seed and the art of refining the same,
by which IL Is made as sweet as olive
oil, and not only used as such In the
United States, but il Is now largely ex-
portedtOItaly TO compete with the native
olive oil, which Is staple article. 1t
in there used for adulteratfng the ma
tive article, and then it is exported
again as genuine olive OIL. This has
already becone a serious matter, ss Of
the six million gallons Of cotton seed
oil which are exported from the United
States during the last year, the greater
portion went to Italy. The Italiln
Government, therefore. IN order to
check this adulteration, has imposed
heavy duty upon the itDportItion OF
cotton seed oil from the United States.
The exploration, which in 1877 and
1878 was about one a halt million gal
Ions ver year, reached in 1879 nearly
six millions, and this will be surpassed
in 1880. Our home consumption of the
article Ia over two million gallons per
year. Mississippi and Louisiana have
each 0 cotton oil mills; Tennessee, s.;
Texas, 6; Arkansas, 4; and Missouri,
Alabama, and Georgia, 2 each; to
gether, ~. At present 4lO, coo tons OF
the eeed are now pressed, yielding %
gallons Of oil and 7oO pounds Of oil
cake to the ton of seed. This oil cake
has admirable fattening qualities, anu
is largely used for cattle.

strength OF InsecrA

Nature is full of wonders to those
who delight in studying her worka.
Few of us think, while we watch the
activity of insects, that 10 enable them
TO perform such feats an amount OF
strength has been given them which
could not safely have been entrusted
70 any of the larger animals, and no
thing but their diminutive size pre-
vents them becoming our masters.
The common flea, as every one knows.
will, without much effort, jump DO
times its own length, while grasshop-
pers and locusts are able TO make leaps
quite as wonderful. In the case Of the
insect they scarcely excite our notice
but If a man were coolly TO take q
standing leap of $50 odd yards. which
would be an equal proof Of muscular
power, admirers OF athletic sports
might be astonished. Again, for a
man to run ten miles within the hour
would be an unusual display''of power !;
but what are We TO say to the little fly
observed by an eminent naturalist,
that is so minute as almost 10 be invIsl-
BILE, yet which ran nearly six inches in
a second, and in that space was calcu-
listed to have made 1850 steps? This,
according to calculation, is as if man
whose steps measured tive feet should
run ut the rate of twenty miles a min
uts. The great stag-beetle, which tears
of the bark from the roots and branches
of the trees, has been known to gnaw
q hole an inch in diameter through the
side of an iron canister in which it was
confined, and on which the marks Of
its jaws were distinctly visible. The
common beetle can, without injury.
support and even raise very great
weights. and make its way beneath a
very considerable amount Of pressure.
In order TO put the strength Of the in
sect Atlas to the test, experiments
have been made which prove that it is
able TO sustain and escape from beenath
a load OF from twenty to thirty ounces,
an immense burden when it is consid-
cred that the insect itself does NOT
weigh as many grains. In fact, once
more taking man as a standard OF com.
parison, it is as though person of or
binary size should raise and get from
under { weight of between forty and
nify tons.
