of the south. Every planter, especially the large ones, should attend, for
it means something more than talk-it means action. The future of cot

south, and a plan, no doubt, will be settled upon to make it again a paying
crop. Hon. John A. Redhead. president Of the Cotton Growers Union, Of
Mississippi, has been invited and will be present as the above correspond
ence indicates. Let others join him and give Mississippi the representation
she deserves. <84

COTTON CONGRESS AT NEW ORLEANS

/ IL NOW an assured fact that that there will be an important cotton
congress held in New Orleans on Feb, l6, just after the carnival rush
when accommodations will be plentiful and low rate tickets still in effect
The congress VIII include everybody interested in the south's sorey tried
but magnificent Industry,
The idea OF the congress originated with the New Orleans Press Clab,
who took the matter in hand in December and addressed the following cir
cu'ar letter to leading cotton men in MtssissppL, Texas aud Louisiana:
NEW ORLEANS, December 20. 1898.
"As an organization having at heart the prosperity and progress of the
city of'New Orleans and every interest incidental to its existence. the New
Orleans Press Club addresses you as an influential and representative cotton
planter
at is not necessary for us to dwell on the conditions now existing in
the cotton growing states. In touch as you are with everything pertaining
to the greatest crop of the country, you arc awake to the fact that some.
thing must be done to effect a radical Change Of conditions. The pfess
throughout the cotton growing states has beD agitating the question OF the
cotton problem for some weeks and the expression OF leading journal. nave
crystaled into the opinion that a genera cooSenton should be called to
discuss the matters I'M business like way. THIS convention to be effective
should be free from every element OF politics, and its entire time should be
earnestly devoted to an effort to bring about some satisfactory solution of a
situation which threatens the integrity o. an industry on which the welfare
of the south is very largely dependent.
with a view of efecting a general Interchange of opinions among cot.
ton planters, ginners, transportation companies, compress organizations,
factors and bankers from each and every cotton growing state in this Sec
ton, the New Orleans Press Club has undertaken the task of having such a
cotton congress meet in this city during or Immediately after the carnival
which begins Feb ii, 1899. We would ask that you reply hereto, and, it
consistent with your views, urge us to have the convention assemble here
about that dater Your reply is intended for submission to Hon. Walter G.
Flower, mayor of the city Of New Orleans, who will thereon base a general
one of the foremost cotton men in this city, and is himself convinced Of the
and so soon as he receives an approval Of the proposition from repre-
sentative cotton men elsewhere will take the initiative.
"Appreciating, as you no doubt do the magnitude of the problem coy
fronting the south: interested as you are in anything which might even re-
motely benefit the cotton industry, we feel assured of your prompt and fav-|
reply thereto-awaiting which we remain, very respectfully yours,

BRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Results of the Deposit of Immense
Quantities of Debris by the
Mighty Yukon River.

Prof. W. J. McGee, of Washington,
declares that two slow but interesting
changes are taking place in Behring
sea. The immense quantity of debris
that is borne down the Yukon from its
sources and sides is being deposited in
the sea beyond the mouth of that
mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea tC subside. A cor
responding rise in the earth's crust is
produced along the chain of the Aleu-
tian islands. Now, not only are the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
of the water, but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result of the rise, and in others
they are the result of volcanic action.
Most of the AIeutians are of volcanic
origin, and they mark the position of
a fold in the earth's crust that is pre-
disposed to eruption. In time, Prof.
McGee says, there is likely to be a nat
ural bridge from America to Asia along
this route, but he admits that nobody
now living is going to see it.

strength of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The recent discussion by engineers of the safety of the great Brooklyn bridge under the increased strain caused by the addition of trolley and elevated cars to its moving load, has brought out some interesting facts about the huge structure. At present the total strain upon the cables is 13,974 tons, but their ultimate strength is 49,20O tons, so that the factor of safety" is S.52. It wou% not be possi- oie to crowd enough moving load upon the bridge to break the cables. The immense anehorages of masonry to which the ends of the cables are fast ened have been moved forward by tue pull of the cables one-eighth of an
 inch in eight years. The natural life of the bridge is reckoned at 2,00O years.

A conscientious cricket is one of the best thermometers in the world. The temperature may be accurately told by observing the number of chirps in a minute. At 50 degrees Fahrenheit the rate is eighty chirps minute, at 70 degrees Fahrenheit 120 per minute, and the rate increases four chirps to the minute with a change of one degree. Below a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit the cricket is not likely to make any sound.
