TranSmutatiOn of Cotton Seed.

BanHers monthly.
Was there ever such u history rs
that OF the cotton seed For seventy
years despised as nuisance, and
burned or dumped as garbage; then
discovered to be the very good food for
which the soil was hungering, and re.
luctantly admitted to the rank OF
utilities; shortly afterward found to
be nutritious food for beast as we'll as
for soil, and thereupon treated with
something like respect. Once ad-
mitted to the circle of farm industries
it was found to hold thirty-five gallons
OF pure oil to the ton, worth in its
crude state $l4 to the ton, or $4O,-
100000 for the whole crop of seed.
But then system was devised for re-
fining the oil up to$1 u gallon. and
the frugal Italians placed cask OF it
at the root of every olive-tree and
then defied the Borean breath of the
Alps. And then experience showed
that the ton of cotton seed was a
better fertilizer and better stock
when robbed Of its thirty-five gallons
of oil than before; and the hulls OF
the seed make the best of fuel for
feeding the oil-mill engine; and that
the ashes of the hulls scooped from
the engines draft had the highest
commercial value as pot ash; and
that the "refuse" of the whole make
the best and purest soap stock, to
carry to the toilet the perfumes of
Lubin or Colgate.

The columns of paper are Il pub
lisher's stock in trade, and the parties
who ask to use them for their spe-
cial benefit should expect to pay for
the same. Every public-spirited citizen
should have a pride in seeing his
town and surroundings improve /;
every new house, every road, every
new manufacturing establishment
erected, every new business enhances
the value of property in our midst.
Every rejecting mind knows this to be
true, and it should not be forgotten
that the local newspaper adds much
to the general wealth and prosperity
OF the place, lis well as increases the
reputation of the town abroad 1t

FROM loss; it warns you OF danger !;
it points out different advantages and

is the power that moves the people !;
therefore, support it by advertising in
it literally, subscribing for it, and
paying for it.-Er.

IT is estimated that each year from
81 900 to 80 900 cubic miles of rain falls
upon the surface of the globe. What
becomes of it? The rivers seldom carry
off one-half, except in regions of close
grained rocks; the rest disappears by
evaporation, by the absorption of the
earth, and by being taken up by plants S
animals and mineral oxidation. In
most parts of temperate ATTITUDES the
removal by rivers is from third to
two-fiiths of what falls; in warm lat
itudes the amount is less, and may be
under one-tenth. The Mississippi
carries ~ way one-fourth of the rainfall
of its drainage area; The Missouri
three-twentieths; the Ohio one-fourth
the rivers of England and Wales nine
sixteenths.

How Salem Became the Capital.
Salem Statesman.

Since the capital question is before
the people OF Washington Territory,
let lis give you bit OF history, how
Salem secured that priceless boon.
When the matter of finally locating
the capital came up, the work of two
men decided the matter in favor. of
Salem. Had either of them failed to
act the part he did, the capitol would
have been elsewhere. One of those
men was ID. w. Craig, then business
manager of the Statesman He
wrote to the Chairmen OF County
Committees of both political parties
in counties where they were not par
ticularly interested in the location of
the capital, offering to print their
county tickets without charge, the
only privilege asked being to insert
Salem as the capital. Nearly all OF
them swallowed the bait. A more inn
portant factor, was Judge Joe Wilson,
then residing at The Dalles. Gen.
Coffin was much more interested in
securing the seat of government at
Portland, was trying about the same
tactics as Craig, except that he had
the tickets printed and was himself
taking them to Eastern Oregon. He
went to The Dalles by boat, and was
to take the stage next morning for
the inland country several hundred
miles off. Judge Wilson got wind OF
what he was doing and managed to
steal the package of tickets from his
satchel and put package of blank
paper in its place. Imagine Coffin's
feelings when he found himself several
days travel from printing Office with
a lot of blank paper and it right on
the eve of the election. As Salem
carried the day by only 70 votes, it
may well be believed that Wilson and
Craig were the generals who won the
battle.

A VOCAL NEWSPAPER-TRAVEL ACROS s
THE ATLANrIC-THE TELEPHOTE.

A VOCAL EwsPAPER-TRAvEL ACROSS s
! THE ATLANrIC-THE TELEPHoTE.
Jules Verne in the February Forum.
This morning Mr.. Fritz Napoleon
Smith, editor of the Earth Chronicle
awoke in very bad humor. His wife
having left for France eight days ago,
he was feeling disconsolate. In all
the ten years since their marriage,
this is the first time that Mrs. Edith
Smith, the professional beauty, has
been so long absent from home; two
or three days usually suffice, for her
freqent trips to Europe. rhe first
thing that Mr.. Smith does is to con-
meet his phonotelephotc, the wires of
which communicate with die Paris
mansion. The telephote! Here is
another Of the great tritrinphs of
science in our time. The transmission
OF speech is an old story; the trans
mission OF images by means of sensi-
tive mirrors connected by wires is
thing but OF yesterday. BY its aid
Smith was able distinctly to see his
wife notwithstanding the distance
that separated him from her. Mrs.
Smith, weary after the ball or the
visit to the theater the preceding
night, is still abed, though it is near
noontide at Paris. She is asleep, her
head sunk in the lace-covered pillows.
And now, at the call of imperative
duty, light-hearted he springs from
his bed and enters his mechanical
dresser Two minutes later the ma
chine deposited him all dressed at the
threshold of his Office. The round of
journalistic work was now begun.
First he enters the hall of novel-writ-
ers. In one corner is Il telephone,
through which hundred Earth
Chronicle Hterateurs in turn recount
to the public in daily installments a
hundred novels. Addressing one of
these authors who was waiting his
turn. Keep on, my dear Archibald,
keep on!" said he. Since yesterday,
thanks to you, there is gain of 5000
subscribers"
Mr.. Smith continues his round and
enters the reporters hall. Here 800
reporters, in their respective places,
facing an equal number of telephones,
are communicating to the subscribers
the news of the world as gathered dur
ing the night. Besides his telephone,
each reporter, as the reader is aware,
has in front of him IA set of commuta-
tors, which enable him TO commune
cate with any desired telophetic line.
Thus the subscribers not only hear the
news but see the occurrences. When
an incident is described that is already
past, photographs of its main features
are transmitted with the narrative.
And there is no confusion withal. The
reporters items, just like the different
stories and all the other component
| parts of the Journal are classified au-
tomatically according to an ingenious
system, and reach the hearer in due
succession. Furthermore, the hearers
are free to listen only to what spec
tally concerns them. They may at
| pleasure give attention to one editor
and refuse it another.

A Newspaper in the Year 1889.
Jules Verne in the February Forum

jules Verne IN tne February fOrum.
Twenty years ago the Earth Chron-
iclc's subscription list contained but a
few hundred thousand names, and
then Mr.. Fritz Napoleon Smith bought
it for a mere trifle, and originated tel
ephonic journalism. Instead OF being
printed, the Earth Chronicle is spoken
to subscribers, who, in interesting con-
versations with reporters, statesmen,
and scientists, learn the news of the
day. Furthermore, each subscriber
owns phonograph, and to this in
strument he leaves the task OF gather
ing the news whenever he happens not
to be in the mood to listen directly
himself. AS for purchasers of single
copies, they can at trifing cost learn
all that is in the paper of the day at
any of the innumerable monographs
set up nearly everywhere. Fritz Ma
poleon Smiths innovation galvanized
the old newspaper. In the course OF IA
few years the number of subscribers
grew to be S5,OOO,O0O, and Smiths
wealth went on growing, till now it
reaches the almost unimaginable fig
ures of $40 O,OOO,OOO,OOO. This lucky hit
has enabled him to erect his new build
ing, vast edifice with four facades,
each $3.50 feet in width, over which
proudly floats the hundred-starred flag
of the Union. Thanks to the same
lucky hit, he is to-day king of news
paperdom; indeed he would be king
of all the Americans, too, if Americans
could ever accept king. You do not
believe it? Well, then, look at the
plenipotentiaries of all nations and
our own ministers themselves crowd
ing about his door, entreating his
counsels, begging for his appreciation,
imploring the aid of his all-powerful
organ. Reckon up the number OF
scientists and artists that he supports,
OF inventors that he has under his pay.

1t is Not So.
Walla Walla journal.


Delegate Voorhees, explained to the
House of Representatives the other
day that the question of admission to
Statehood was such burning issue in
this Territory that in the recent cleo
ton the people resented the delay by
giving pronounced Republican major
tiles. We beg to differ with Mr.. Voor-
hees. The average voter was never
very much affected by that statehood
boom. True, political speakers on
both sides made it appear that we are
greatly out and injured by not being
admitted as a State, but the taxpayers
and voters let that part of their
speeches go into one ear and out at
the other. We have stated before and
we reiterate it, without fear of success
full contradiction, that the same thing
that killed Mr.. Cleveland, killed Mr..
Voorhees,. 1t is what is enormously
called civil service reform. This re-
form, as experienced. by the people dur
ing the last three years has changed

tried will serve rs II warning to genera
tions to IYala Wala Journal.

The Growth of Jerusalem.

A German newspaper published in
Palestine, states that the city of Jeru-
salem is growing in size and popula-
ton at Il remarkable rate. Its growth
is all the more surprising because
neither its situation nor its trade is
favorable to rapid increase, it lies
among not very fertile group OF
mountains; it has next to no COM
merce; and it mas no manufactures.
Nevertheless, new buildings are rising
daily; churches, gardens, and insti-
tutes of various kinds are filling up
the formerly desolate neighborhood to
the distance of half an hours walk be-
yond the old limits of the city. The
Jews are to the front rs builders.
Their houses spring out of the ground
like mushrooms, uniform, ugly, one
storied, plentifully supplied with win
dows. but with no manner Of adorn-
ment. The Rothschilds have COM
pleted new hospital. Close beside it
there is Il new Abyssinian church.
The Russians are also great builders
They have erected a new church, con-
sulate, lodging houses for pilgrims of
the Orthodox national churches, and
Il hospital. Near TO the Russian
group, stands the" German House"
for German Roman Catholics, from
whose top the German and the Papal
flag float side by side. The Russians
have also built a high tower upon the
Mount of Olives, from whose summit
the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea
can both be seen. The Greek and
Armenians are also busy builders, but
they provide for the bodily rather
than the religious demands of the pill
grims. The former build cafes and
bazaars, and the latter set up shops.
