including cotton, round and
square, and fire was first seen
where cotton was stored, but the
rapid spread was caused by ex~
plosives.
''That, however, is aside from
and immaterial as to our present
inquiry. For present purposes it
DOESN'T matter whether the accu-
sation is true, partly true, or
wholly false. All l point cut now
is that the accusation was ma1e,
and for a specific purpose; and we
now consider this purpose as it
appears on the face of the publ
cation. They advise people to turn
to the roundlap bale as the only
safe and profitable way of baling
cotton, and actually go SO far as
to call upon our legislatures to
suppress the deathdealing square
cotton balo.'
"For instance, in their New
York organ, The Commercial, the
heading Is Square Cotton Bales
Doomed by Big Fire In tie first
paragraph are these words:
The Hoboken incident prac
tically signs the death warrant of
the old fre-brand square bale.
sAfter the usual roundbale ar
gument, ST. ung through clossly
printed column, the articles closes
thus:
" "A law against its use--i. e.,
the use of the square bale-would
be quite as practicable as many
that now burden the statute books.
"Another organ farther South
echoes The Commercial, but
changes the head lines to read
thus, The Square Bale Must Go.
Among other things they say:
g The square bale, with it's rips
and rents, is more dange rous in
the hold of vessel than a keg of
gunpovder.'
Still another paper farther
west follows a few days later,
quoting The Commercials article
at length as the voice of the cot
ton trade, of insurance men, fire
officials. and of every intelligent
person who has investigated or
thought Of the matter. This pa,
per, however, chose for Itself a
more lurid heading, as follows;
The Old Tinder Box Must Co
Two Hundred Lives aud Five
Million Dollar Loss the Cause
Square Cotton Bale Crime. Then
after repeating the weilworr
round bale aguments. including
their claim of 1915 to $4.50 pal
bale saving, it winds up with
this startling declarations:
+" The time Is ripe for legisla
lures in the various states tt

erty destroying square cottol

These samples sufficiently un
cover and disclose the mind AM

O MANY MATCHES
Fire Started in Masonic Building
Which Might Have Been Serious

The fire department was called at 8
o'clock this morning to the Masonic
building on jackson street. between Sixth
and Seventh, for a fire that started in a
closet next the main stairway.
The fire was in the second story OF the
quarters Of the Topeka Athletic associa-
ton. An old water cooler was filled
with boxes OF parlor matches and on top
of the water cooler was a large wooden
box filed with packages of matches. The
door TO the closet was closed and the
fire had been burning for some time be-
fore the department arrived and had just
burned through the o and the parti-
ton when the alarm was turned in by a
man passing who saw the smoke coming
out of the front windows The fire was
ex~tinguished with a line from the cheni1-
cal engine. The inside of the closet was
burned out and the heavy floor and 1oisE
were burned away. Chief said:
The fire started from the large quantity
of matches. It had been burning for
some time before it vas discovered and
had worked through the floor and into
the hall and gotten hold of the partitions
when the alarm was turned in It IS
that it broke out as late in the
morning as il did for If it had been in the
middle of the night it might have been
a very serious fire. 1t is hard to tell
what started the fire in the matches but
it may have been mice or dampness."

INVENTED LEAD PIPE.
A. Usual, Thi~aRh the Genius Did Not
Proht by His Idea

There was born in Milton, Pa, in 1909
a man of wonderful genius, it is said.
His name was Robert Seydell, and he
died in 1S47. Four children survive
him, two of whom still reside there-a
son, Jacob Seydell, and daughter,
Mrs. NJ. L. Gray.
Mr.. Seydell was a coppersmith and
was almost continuously working out
some device connected with the ma
chinery in his factory. To him, it is re-
lated by some of the oldest citizens of
this place, belongs the discovery of the
process of making lead pipe, and like
many other inventors the idea of maxi
ing the same was stolen from him and
further developed to it's present form
of manufacture.
1t was in the latter part of the '30s
that the idea suggested itself to him,
and the following is the way it brought
it OUT He first took slug, or casting
of lead, placing it on mandel, or rod
of steel, about 16 feet long and one inch
in diameter; the mandel was highly
polished, and upon this he drew or
rolled out the lead to the full length of
the rod, thus giving him an inch bore,
and the material was rolled, it is said,
to a one-fourth inch, making a total
diameter of ~ inches for the pipe.
After completing several sections of the
length of the mandel he soldered them
together, making the pipe of whatever
length he desired.
He put it to practical use by fastening
it to pump-heads and also runsing it
from springs to connect watering
troughs and spring houses in the coun-
try roundabout here. Being greatly
pleased with his discovery, and receiv-
ing the most fattering of comments
from his friends and neighbors in this
section, he concluded to make his in
vention more widely known, and hence
made visit to Philadelphia, taking his
device with him.
At the Franklin institute in that CITY
he gave his first exhibition to quite a
number of inventors, artisans and me-
chanics. AS it is now related, every one
of whom witnessed it were more than
delighted, and so expressed themselves
in his immediate presence.
1t was not long that he was allowed
to remain in a condition of supreme
happiness over his invention. for G
short time after he made disclosure
of his discovery, and while yet in Phila
delphia, he found out that by the very
persons to whom he had given 90 ex
hibitiol of the process of making Lead
pipe his idea had been used and i'm
| proved upon.
Mr. Seydell was man of great piety
an enthusiastic devotee of the church
the Baptist-with which he was con
