| delegations OF prominent business men
TO examine the products OF southern
Industry.
These mon have reported most favor
| ably the result OF their Investigations
AMI the North has come TO fuller I'M
dcrstnnding Of the conditions which
prevail in the South and OF the pros
poets for lucrative trade from this
section. The jealousy OF Northern
cities concerning the control OF this
trade has already become marked.
and their efforts to gain It are becom-
ing stronger and more pronounced.
In addition to this. mills and facto-
ries are running and in course OF con-
struction in sections OF the South where
n few years ago they were entirely I'M
known. The shipping through South
ern ports has been greatly increased
and the supremacy of the Northern
mnrts In handling the manufactured
and natural products OF the country Is
rapidly declining before their Southern
rivals.
The resources OF the South are al
most unlimited. The opportunities for
development are surprising. Pennsyl-
vania has built up coal and iron
trade which. in magnitude. Is aston
ishinR, yet Alabama has more coal and
iron and ten times as much timber as
Pennsylvania The whole of Great
Britain has 1000 square miles OF coal
area, 5000 less than the coal area OF
West Virginia. The census shows that
over one-hnlf of the standing timber of
the United States is in the South.
In spite OF the strenuous efforts OF
Great Britain to encourage the cultl-
walton Of cotton In India and Egypt,
the South stili produces nearly three
fourths OF the worlds cotton crop and
Its yield Is being steadily increased.
while the cost of production Is being
constantly lessened
The advancement which the South
has made In the last decade is re-
mnrkable. Ten years ago II produced
100000 tons OF pig iron a year; now
the production reaches 100000 tons
annually. Then II produced 10000. 5000
tons Of coal a year; now the output il
over SOO00.oOO tons. Ten years ago II
had 100000 invested In cotton mills,
now the amount in mills and factories
In operation and under construction
reaches S1350OO,0OO Then the South
had less than $4,000 miles of railroad:
now 1t has nearly $4,000 miles. Then
the total agricultural and mnnufac-
tured products aggregated about ST.
200.0OO0OO yearly; now the rate is
above $1,000 100000 and rapidly lncreas-
Ing.
These are some of the facts which
have directed Northern eyes toward
the South but the advances which
have been made hitherto have all been
directly caused by the push and
enterprise Of the people OF the Southern
states themselves. In the future. for
elgn capital will be largely used 10
develop the South, but those citizens
who desire TO gain the most substan-
tlal benefits to their own states from
this influx OF capital must themselves
first show confidence In their section
ny making such investments as their
finances VIII permit

Robert Ball, professor OF astronomy
and geometry at Cambridge, has an
article In Mcclure's magazine for De-
cember on "The SUMS Heat" that tells
In forceful way of the qualities OF the
great orb which Is the central factor
OF the universe.
How many even OF well-informed
people appreciate The size OF the sun?
This gives a strong conception OF It,
THE sun Ia SO vast that n It were

placed Mt the center OF that bah. the
moon could revolve In tho orb which
II now follows. and still be entirely en-
closed within the SUMS Interior"
What striking statement Is this of
tho heat Of the sun: '"rhe hea, and
light daily lavished by that orb of

emciently as the earth Is warmed and
