COTTON GINNING.
Interesting Facts Collected for he Firss

Interesting Facts Collected for The Firss
Time by the Census Isureau.
The census bulletins have thus far
been devoted to the statistics Of our
population. This branch Of The work
is now completed, and. with Bulletin
So the publication Of Industrial facts
has begun. This bulletin is devoted to
cotton ginning and is the first report
Of its kind ever made by a United
States census. The reason for this in
novation in our methods Of collecting
the statistics Of cotton production is
interesting. For many years practi-
cal1y the entire cotton crop reached
the markets through the transporta-
ticn lines. The result was that a close
approximation to the actual crop was
obtained from the returns of these car
flers. In recent years, however, there
has been rapid development of cot
ton fields Many thousands of bales
that never touch a transportation line
are consumed by these mills in the
south which in 1889 manufactured 1875
per cent of the total crop and 3G.9 per
sent of the total American consump'
lion. AS it is no longer possible to
get an idea Of the amount of the crop
from the returns of the transportation
ines the last census has collected the
statistics Of the amount of cotton
ginned. O. course everybody knows
that prior to the invention Of the cot,
ton gin by Eli Whitney in 1894 the
separation of the seed from the lint
had had to be done by hand, the task
being four pounds of lint cotton per
week fer each head of a family, work.
ing at night in addition to the usual
field work. 1t took one person two
wears to turn cut the quantity of cot
ton contained in one average stand
ard bale. At the present time one ma
chine will gin from three to fifteen,
bales per day.
Thus one machine does the work Of
thousands CT men. In 1890, before the
cotton gin was dreamed Of, our pro-
d;lction was $3.50 bales of average
weight Of 225 pounds In 1899, the
production WAS 9,345, ,391' bales of an
average weight Of 500 pounds These
latest statistics were obtained by col
Iscting the amount of cotton ginned.-

A Dea dly
Device Adopted

Acting on the theory that superior
craftsmanship wins in modern war
fare, the United States government has
,ust adopted new device, which tends
70 give our soldiers every advantage
in that line. Some valuable and prac-
.icable lessons were gained during the
Spanish war in regard to inaccurate
shooting, when deal, of ammunition
was used up with no result The bul-
lets in most cases went above the heads
Of the enemy. This was attributed
solely to poor aim and inability Of
soldiers to locate and distinguish OBJ
:ects at a distance.
The government has adopted a new
telescopic sight Of great magnifying
power which is to be mounted on the
Krag- Jorgensen rifle. At present the
xsharpshooter corps in the Philippines
have been sent the first instal1ment Of
the new telescope sight In the dark
jungles of-the island forest these tele-
scopes are said to have already proved
most effectual in bringing down the
far-distant forms of the insurgents
which, Withoutzthis aid, could not have
been seen by the naked eye. At a
=-ange of 1000 yards in hazy weather
4 man can be picked off as easily as at
500 feet in bright light. The Ordnance
Board of the army has carried a. series
IF exhaustive tests with telescope
sight and has recommended its use in
he highest terms. The telescope is Of

and was reported to have engaged in
the trotting Of horses throughout the
country. For many years he has been.
dead to the world so far as any knowl-.
edge OF his whereabouts is possessed
by the citizens of. New burg. When these
three gathered about the board the big

as a player and the goading he re-
ceived from the others kept him in the
game and he continued to chip in, with
the hope of ultimately retrieving what
he had lost. But it was the old Story,
and he found that his luck Had left
him. Try as he would, with an occa-
sional bluff, he failed to get back his
money. At last some one proposed to
change the game to see if his luck
would also change.=@No one ever knew
except the players themselves, who pro-,
posed the new game, but it is very
probable, under the circumstances, that
it was Weed himself At any rate, they
set in to play faro, and for hours this
game went on. But it was no better
for Weed than poker. His luck ran
against him all through, and the longer
he stayed the deeper in debt he got.
At.last the time came for a halt, and
when it arrived Weed was a loser to

HAVE AGE
AND STATURE

The impression is quite general that
the people of prehistoric times were
much taller than those of the present
day. In 1918 Henrion, a member Of
the French Academy of Sciences, pub
lished a pamphlet in which he asserted
that Adam was 1923 feet g inches tall;
Eve, l18 feet 8 inches; Noah, ~ feet;
Abraham, 20 feet; Moses, 3 feet He
gave elaborate reasons for his state
ments. A present-day scientific student
of the Bible goes Henrion one better
and makes Noah 67 feet tall and at.
tributes to the flood survivor a weight
of 1,a75 pounds. His reasons for this
estimate are not bad, either. He says:
According to Genesis, Noah lived $50
gears and then died The average life
of man to-day is about 70 years. 1t is
we1l-defined rule in nature that an
imals, bipeds and quadrupeds live
about three and onehalf times the
number Of years required for individ-
ual maturity Thus man in this CEN
kury natures in 20 years and dies at
she age of 20 years. Dividing the age
q sI Noah by three and one-haf we find
that he matured in about 27O years.
E The average man of to-day at maturity
measures about feet and weighs l25
pounds. Five feet in 20 years is equiv
alent to three inches in one year. APP
plying the same rule to Noah S matur-
Ing years, we find that at his maturity
he was 67 feet tall and weighed 1,375
pounds. 1t stands to reason that if
Noah was so great in body Adam must
have been equally as large. The mere
TACT that Adam was never born evi-
+ aences that he was a gigantic man.
Everything created during the forna-
ton ages was according to a very large
standard. The trees wers skyscrapers
The animals immense and All other
things in proportion. Why should
