A mecting Of cotton exporters and ship
agents az New Orleans recently adopted
resolutions looking TO the better baling OF
cotton. Il seems that action with re-
gard 20 the matter has been about limited
20 what the New Orleans convention
aid. The cotton operators on the New
York exchange have discussed the matter.
but the exchange Itself has taken no ac-
zion. To judge from interviews with prom
5nent operators published IN the New York
Journal q Commerce and Commercial Bull
letin. they expect the insurance under
writer's TO take the next step. There is
but one expression among the operators.
namely. that the existing system OF bal
ing IS bad. but they do not see what they
can do 70 remedy It. There is only one
way 20 get around the matter" said Mr..
George Brennecke, and that is 10 have
the underwriters. both FIRE and marine.
to come 10 an understanding to refuse 20
write policies on cotton unless it is in
proper shape and well protected"
Mr. Brenneckel makes It point that
too much second hand bagging is used.
Some Of It. he says. is used three or four
times. and when cotton is covered with
bagging used for the fourth time IT had as
well be left uncovered. The ragged and
rotten covering affords no protection. but
rather offers a tinder-lke lodging place
for sparks from passing locomotives OF
tug boats. 50 notorious has become the
fact that America puts up bad bales that
American bales are the laughing stock Of
the commercial world
The gentleman quoted is a little impa-
tient, evidently Mr.. Alfred B. Sleeper
son thinks he sees already some improve
ment in the character Of the bales. since
the agitation OF the matter by the New
Orleans meeting. At any rate. 1t Is not
TO be expected that so great a reform as
the one proposed should be carried into
effect Immediately The cotton growing
section is quite a big area, and there are
great many people in IT, II the reform
should be effected in two seasons. the re-
formers would have abundant cause for
self congratulation. All the planter has
TO look out for Is to deliver his cotton In
acceptable order to his factor or to some
local shipper. His responsibility ceases
then. The proposed reform must reach
the planter through the factor or the
local shipper II seems that the insur-
ance men. the exporters. the factors. the
local shippers and the planters might
get together for mutual beneht-and bet
ter bales would be mutually beneficial
within a reasonable length Of time. with
out resort to harsh or arbitrary meas
ures. or the fact that the system Of
baling needs TO be improved. however,
there can be no doubt.

sounds From PIcturer.

II IS n poetic idea that architecture is
frozen music. The idea may be based on
fact. At any rate. the time is at hand
when the truth or falsity OF It is likely
TO be demonstrated Cold science has
about bridged the space between music
and portraiture. Already the two arts
are touching finger tips in the kaleidoscope.
Presently. there is every reason TO be-
lieve. the arts will be welded, when we

and see pictures from music
The promise OF this is In an instrument
for reproducing pictures over an electric
circuit which has recently been perfected.
The picture to be transmitted Is etched on
a cylinder The fine needle OF the trans
hitting instrument passes over the face
of the etched cylinder and graduates the
electrical current in accordance with the
depressions and elevations of the etching.
The receiving instrument, being synchro-
nized with the transmitting instrument,
records at the other end of the wire the
lights and shades. and curves and angles,
represented by the intentions and ridges
in the etching.
The salient features of the apparatus
are the hills and holes on the cylinder
and the sensitive needle that follows them.
And these peculiarities, with the addi-
ton Of diaphragm, are the salient fea-
lures of the photograph. Being already
so close together. it is extremely likely
that Mr. Edison or somebody else will
bring the two instruments into immediate
touch with each other by making the cyl
inders interchangeable.
What would result from an exchange OF
cylnders2 Who can guess? Can anybody
say how picture sounds. or what song
looks like? The apparatus might answer
the question by a demonstration of the
sounds of pictures and the pictures of
sounds Then we might learn authorita-
lively whether there is music in architec-
ture. whether there is poem in the
artists dream of beauty" and whether
there are such things as speaking like
nesses."

Ancient and MODERN sports

A. a meeting held recently under the
presidency Of she Duke Of Sparta. heir 70
the throne Of Greece. 10 vas determined
that next year a great international attn
letic contest should b. held al Athens.
The proposed programme has not yet
been published IN this country. but L. Is
understood 20 be the purpose Of the pro-
noters OF the festival 70 revive the Ols-m-
pic games and add modern athletic games
% the card.
Iuasmuch as the Olympic games have
been suspended for matter OF fifteen
centuries. during which time athletes have
evolved and adopted neW pastimes. tactics
and equipments. such a revival and ex-
hibition would doubtless be very inter
esting, yet withal il might present some
what iudicrous and iconaclastic features.

would rather detract from the reputation
OF the spear as an instrument Of offense
or sport.
Nevertheless. a tournament mingling the
ancient and modern games would prob
ably afford interesting contrasts. and
might bring out many gratifying facts. II
there were any way to prove it conclusive

1t transpires that the death of James
W. Scott, Of the Chicago Times-Herald.
was particularly unfortunate for the lii
nois democracy. Mr.. Scotts paper was
the only big democratic daily in Chicago.
1t has now been acquired by Mr.. Kohlsaat,
who was in Georgia with Maj. Mckinley
a short time ago. and will be changed into
a republican paper; possibly the personal
organ OF the Ohio Napoleon of Finance.
The republicans have made a ten strike
in capturing the Times Herald. The Times
and the Herald were the two great demo-
cratic daihes OF Illinois. A few weeks ago
the Herald absorbed the Times. and now.
by changing the noliticsof the consolidated
paper. they are both more than wiped out.
