Work of the spectroscope.

The impressions of the spectroscope are
not lasting, so the damesa has been brought
to its aid. and the complete machine, with
which eclipses are observed, is known as
the prismatic camera. The Impressions
made during the eclipse are retained on
films. They can thus be reproduced and
studied at leisure. The use Of photography
in observing eclipses dates from 1860. and
from that time to the present day it has
been the most important adjunct in this
branch OF science, and 1t is through it that
astronomers expect eventually to solve the
great problems that the sun now presents.
in W thu b eaefs are p, uasa more more questions ions
nected with eclipses, 1t is not to the skies
alone that one must look for subjects of
interest. The observation of the effect of
an eclipse upon ignorant and simple people
is very instructive and entertaining. Many
people believe when they receive news of
the end of the world. Among the negroes
in the South of the United States an eclipse

through with this performance long. enough
fallible remedy for eclipses.
The ancients also believed that an eclipse
was a visitation of divine anger and they.
| performed sacrifices and pe%nitential rites
that its recurrence might be avoided. Indeed,
there is little room for wonder at the ter
ror that an eclipse strikes to the breasts
of the uniformed. The rareness of the
occurrence of this inspiring phenomenon,
its great solemnity. and the terrifying rap
| ness rushes on the observer present to him
a scene indescribably grand and leave on
his. mind an impression which only death
will efface.

R0UNDLAP COTTON BALES.
To Satisfy the De mand the Entire
Drop will Eventually be 50
BaIed.

For once the cotton plante
has an alley among the great
corporations. For years the
cotton tie ring, the bagging COM
bine and the compress people
have all lived off the cotton grow
er. There was no way to fght them
and so they grew rich on their
enormous profits which the farm
ers had TO pay. Now the Ameri-
can Cotton Company with its
Roundlap bale is in the field and
it is SO revolutionizing the cotton
handling business that many Of
the old expenses are necessarily
wiped out. The farmers must
inevitably get a large share Of
this saving, but the old compress
people and the bagging and tie
trust are raising a great commo-
tion against the American Cotton
Company as though they had al
ways been the friends of the
farmer. Unfortunately for them
they never played the friendly
act before and now the farmers
doubt the sincerity of their re-
pentance.
The Roundlap bale is the trade
mark name given by the Ameri-
can Cotton Company to it's round
bale to distinguish it from all
other bales. The cotton mills
Of New England aud of Europe
are eager buyers Of this bale be-
cause as compared with all other
bales it has many advantages
covered by broad patents, which
greatly lessen the eest of manu-
facture to the mill. This Round
lap bale eliminates two or three
processes Ia manufacturing and
as the cotton mills of the world
are willing to pay more for this
cotton than any other, it natur-
ally follows that to secure the
highest prices all southern cot
ton must in time be put u = in this
Rounelap form. Mr.. VIM. G.
Lowering, one of the most distin-
guished cotton mill men of New
England says
Il do not hesitate to say that
the time is coming when the cot
ton manufacturers all over the
world will insist that their cotton
shall be delivered to them in the
form of a Roundlap Bale. .
