Every year in our wasteful Amer
can prodigality we are throwing
Vain. One. away vast quanti-
ties Of material
which the genius
OF some future discoverer will find
to be rich in the possibilities Of un-
appropriated wealth. But in partial
offset against this national tendency
toward wastefulness there are GER
tain economic agencies at work in the
various scientific laboratories of the
country which may yet produce the
happy result Of converting trash
piles into gold mines. Experiments
in this direction have been wonder
fully stimulated, says the Atlanta
Constitution, since it was discovered
several years ago that cotton seed
could be made the basis of IN i'm
portant industry, producing not only
what is now commercially known as
cotton seed oil, but also many use.
full by-products, and greatly in
creasing our material wealth by put
ting value into immense quantities of
cotton seed hitherto considered
worthless except for purposes of fer
tilization, as only the smallest guam
tity was used each year for replant-
ing. We have been very much inter-
ested in some figures recently COM
piled by Daniel c. Roper for the
United States bureau of statistics,
showing that the value of the output
now derived from cotton seed now
aggregates annually more than $40,-
100000. AS many as 257 establish
ments in this country are now en-
gagged in crushing cotton seed. Ac-
cording to the figures for 1900. the
manufacturers paid S2S,000.000 for the
cotton seed used during the year, but
from this outlay of raw material
there were produced 93,0O0,e00 gal
Ions of oil valued at So, ZOO, 900, Ss4,-
600 tons of cake and meal valued at
$16,O00,0O0, 100000 tons OF hulls,
valued at s3,oOO,ooo, and 100000
tons of linters valued at S1,SOO,0OO.
Nearly half Of this immense output
was exported to foreign countries.
Mr.. Roper gives some additional in
formation showing the character Of
the various products derived from
the cotton seed and also the uses to
which they are put. The meal which
is left after the oil is extracted from
the seed Is used both for fertilizing
and for cattle feeding. The crude
oil which results from the first pro-
cess is called summer oil and this
product on being subjected to subse-
quent processes Of refining in turn
produces sterin, which is used in
making butter, salad oils and can
dies; summer white oil, which is used
in making lard and cottolene, win
ter yello and miners oil, while
the product which remains is used
as soap stock. II we can only con-
vert some few of our other waste
materials into products of CONNER
cial value we will have money to
spare in this section; but consider
ing the extent and variety of our
natural resources, which we are now
engaged in developing, we can afford
TO wait patiently.

with cancer of the stomach and after
several operations, one in Omaha three
years ago, one in Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, last October, and one in the
Methodist hospital in this city, it was
found it was not possible to save his
life. He spent almost year in Cali
fornia, hoping change in climate
would benefit him, but it was of no
avail. His last charge was the pastor
ate of the Broadway Methodist church

moved with his widowed mother to Des
Moines in 1863. His early education
was gained in the country schools of
Polk county. Later he attended Gala.
nan College in this city for few months
and at 20 years of age he entered the
Northwestern University at Evanston

school for two years. Returning to Des
Moines he was appointed by the confer
ence to pastorate at Lnevlle, Iowa.
He preached at Lineville three years.
From there he went to Corydon where
he remained four years, thence to Bed.

| doah for two years, and from there he
