1--WE believe that a colonial policy is con-
trary to the theory of this government,
and we are opposed to the acquisition of

FLORIDA, GEoLoGIcALLY.
Fossils Classified by the Smithsonian
Institute


Orlando Cor. jacksonville Times-Union.
The geology of Florida hos long been a
puzzle 10 81 cnufc men. Fifty years ago
the accepted theory was that the peninsula
Of Florida was originally a coral reef. upon
which an accumulation Of sea sand had
been deposited. Since the discovery of
phosphate beds in the state The develop
nents have modified this theory and given
rise 10 all sorts of speculations concerning
the early conditions that prevailed here.
S. A. Robinson, county surveyor of this
county, and a geological student of great
research, years ago began the collection Of
fossil remains. He now has probably the
best collection in the state, and one that
has attracted much attention from sclen-
tiho men. As long ago as 1891 he sent
portion Of his collection to the Smithsonian
Institution for examination and classical

SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON.
The Latest Facts About the Crops in
That State.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 3.-The following

prospects in South Carolina
Showery weather prevailed during the

ture, conditions favorable for rapid growth
of vegetation, resulting in a general i'm
provement in crop conditions, except where
OWING to excessive rains, corn and cotton
have deteriorated on bottom lands and on
light sandy soils. Slow progress was made
in laying by crops, but this work has been
finished on most of the farms, with, how
ever, many fields still grassy and needing
cultivation.
y large majority of this weeks reports,
representing sections in every county of
the state. indicate a too rapid growth of
cotton, which is apparently making too
much weed" and not fruiting proportion

and there is more than the usual amount
Of shedding. The plant is very sappy ana
the ground is too wet to give it much need

THINGS MADE OF WOOD PULP.
Car Wheels, Teeth, Collins, Window
Panes and other Things.

From the New York Sun.
Close rival to coal tar in adaptabilitv
to unexpected purposes is wood pulp or
cellulose. Since it was discovered that ex-
cellent paper could be made from this sub
stance wood pulp has been used as SUBJ
stitute, fraudulent or otherwise, for iron,
steel, wood, stone, glass, ivory and in
numberable other kinds of animal and
vegetable fibre. AS a material for car
wheels the manufacturers have found it
superior to any kind of metal, being about
three times as durable as steel, and much
more elastic When subjected to great
pressure wood pulp takes an extraordinary
hardness. 1t has been found available as
a material for paving bricks, drain thing
and conduits electric cables.
For ivory which is becoming scarcer
every day, cellulose is the best substitute
that has yet been found. To-day 1t forms
the material of the cheaper billiard balls,
and has been used successfully for the
manufacture of artificial teeth. When
properly treated wood pulp is practically
proof against heat and moisture; hence it
has been found superior to timber as ma
terial for telegraph poles and screws. COT
fins, too, are often made of wood pulp.
They are susceptible of a high polish,
look as well as the finest wood, and are
much cheaper.
Cannon, too, and bicycles are made out
Of wood pulp in Germany and Chicago,
respectively, while a Frenchman has sue
ceeded in producing a thread from the
same substance, which he declares can
be worked up into all sorts of fabrics
Another Frenchman has produced wood
pulp carpet lining and another again wood
pulp sailcloth, while a Vienna inventor
declares that his wood pulp leather Is SUI
perior to animal leather in fineness and
durability.
For resisting the action of fire and water
wood pulp appears TO be a success. 1t Is
used to make waterproof paint for ships
fireproof and waterproof paper and even
stoves, which are said to be superior to
iron ones. Wood pulp window panes have
been In use for several years, particularly
in greenhouses, and in France portable
dwelling houses built of the same material
have been found a success.
Among the other articles made of WOOD
pulp are boats, canoes, cuspidors pals
flower pots tables, chairs, bureaus bar
rels wagons, horse-shoes and imitation
porcelain ware. The manufacture Of six
from wood pulp is now an important IN
dustry in England and France. The raw
material Is really the same as that OF
natural silk.
1t is only a case of doing by machines
and chemicals what the silkworm does De-
cause ii cannot help it.
