One of those inventions which will
inevitably displace large amount of
labor because of its increased economy
has recently found it's way into textile
manufacturing. 1t is a loom which au-
tomaticaIly feeds bobbins into the
shuttle. This work hitherto has been
one of the duties Of the weaver. Now
five persons can take care of eighty of
these looms, whereas, at present, one
person looks after six. The new
process will run for an hour or two
after every one has left the factory at
night and through the noon hour. It
is said that it viii save one-half the la
Dor cost in weaving and one-fourth the
whole labor cost OF manufacturing.

FEWEST CONVICTS.

Kansas Has a Smaller Number Than Any
Other State PrOportiOnalIy.
Thirty convicts were yesterday trans
ferred from the state penitentiary at
Lansing to the new reformatory at
Hutchinson.
There are now only $50 convicts in the
state penitentiary and this is the smallest
number that has been in the institution
for ten wears. and of this number 80 are
Oklahoma prisoners.
Kansas has the smallest mum Der of con-
victs of any state in the Union, accord
ing to the population It has only about
two-thirds as many convicts as other
states of the same population. The pop
ulation of the state is increasing, but the
number of convtcts is decreasing. This
is also som ething that no other state can

AVAILABLE CARGO.
Steamer Bertha Brings Seal Skins al
Furs Worth 100000.

SAN FRANCIsCo. Aug. 30.-The steamer
Bertha, Capt Hayes arrived in port last
night from Unalaska and BehriDg sea
She brought with her one of the most
valuable cargoes that has ever come into
this harbor. 1t is composed of seal
skins, furs, whale bones and gold dust
and it is estima ted to be worth between
$750,000 and $1,000,000.
Her passengers report the almost utter
failure of the whaling fleet Captain
Hayes says forty-four vessels cleared
from Unalaska for Behring sea, and
nearly every one of them carried seal
ing flag. This will be news to the
owners, for it was thought that none of
the schooners carried the yellow and
black ensign. The collector of the port
will probably be disappointed in the
number of vessels he will have to seize
upon his arrival in port.
The seals in the vicinity of the Pribilof
Islands, it was learned, are fast disap-
pearing, and they are even more scarce
outside the prohibited zone.
