COTTON RAISING IN AFRICA.
Report of Young Negroes from
Booker It. w~ashington's school.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 2S.-The German
Colonial Economic Society Of Berlin has is
sued an elaborate report of the work of
the experimental cotton plantation in Togo,
West Africa, managed by ]. N. Gallo
way and three young negroes from Booker
T. Wa~shington's school at Tuskegee. Ala.
The following is an abstract from Super
intendent Calloway's statement TO the So
ciety, which is included in the report: II
believe that by planting the seed in late
summer, thus avoiding the heavy rains,
good results can be obtained with Amer
lean cotton. 1t is probable. too, that bet
ter results can be obtained by using cot
ton seed or artificial fertilizers. l am of
opinion that by crossing native with Amer
lean cotton a variety adapted &c the col
ony can be secured. One hundred acres of
land in all were cultivated. Up TO the
close of December twenty-three bales of
cotton were ready to ship. Thirteen of
these were from native seed. nine from
American seed and one from Egyptian seed.
The natives grow cotton as a secondary
product with yams. There is sufficient good
cotton land.
1.-The natives must be taught to cultivate
more cotton on the same ground with the
same labor. If possible they must be fur
nished with draught animals. Portable en-
gines should be furnished, power for gin
ming and baling, and a railroad should be
built from the coast inland. Our expert
ence mas given us every reason 10 DelleVe
that in a few years II will be possible TO
export many thousand bales OF cotton from
the colony Of lego. This will not have any
effect on the markets Of the world. but il
will be Of advantage to Germany. and espe-
cialiy TO the two and a half millions OF ma
tives in the colony. Under present condi-
tons the cost Of g 5O-pound bale of cotton
delivered at Bremen. including ginning,
pressing and moving TO the coast by native
labor. shipping expenses. sundries, insur-
ance, etc. is 255 marks about S63)
If crossing native with American seed
makes il possible 10 get a bale from l,500
pounds of seed cotton. and if the introduce
ton of steam power for ginning. baling and
hauling lowers the cost to equivalent ex-
penses in America. il should be possible to
produce a bale of cotton of the same quail

MIRROR-GAZING.
Remarkable Revelations In BLACK
Glasses.
London Mail.

London Mail.
Little black mirrors in which one seeks
to read the future are becoming quite pop
ular among the growing army of crystal
gazers.
The cult-if ii can be termed uch-re-
ceived a great impetus from Mr.. Andrew
Lang's recent article on crystal-gazing. in
which he allowed that there vas a case
for investigation, at any rate. into the
mysterious power which some people appar-
emily possess of "visualizing'' another per
sons mental processes. and, in some in
stances, actual bodily movements when
not in sight or hearing.
The Introduction of the black mirror is
but a variant on the crystal method, and
an officer of the Society for Psychical Re
search states that there is nothing surpris-
ing in the idea.
at is just as easy" he says. 'for any
one who possesses the faculty TO obtain re-
suits from a mirror as from a crystal.
Indeed, L recently personally investi-
gated a case where a servant girl in Kent
frequently astonished her mistress by
'visualizing' with remarkable fidelity her
absent master, whom she had never seen,
by gazing on the mirTored surface of the
dining room sideboard.
1.-The master of the house is away in
South Africa, acting as intelligence officer,
and though the servant did not know this,
had never seen a photograph OF him, and
had never heard him described, she pOr-
trayed with extraordinary minuteness his
mannerisms and appearance. and even. in
rough fashion, pictured the surroundings
of an intelligence officers life.
Notes were taken of the incident. and
confederation or otherwise from the officer
of his movements and actions at the stated
hour are awaited with much interest"
M~irror-gazing. of course, is as old as the
hills, and has been known in all ages and
climes. Mr.. Lang points out that many
savage and barbarous races gaze into
water, polished basalt and rock crystals.
Mr.. Lang also mentions the case of a lady
who saw in a glass water jug an Ecce
Homo painting OF the familiar type. She
said: Il used to see things like this in ink
when I was a child"

Closing G~ames-The Scores.

The Indianapolis Bowling League season
completed it's schedule of championship
games last night and the Marion team won
the championship. The Marions were SO
far in the lead they could not have been
headed had they lost all of the games last
night. The Washingtons gave them a live
ly argument, but the Marions met them
half way, and there were many high scores
as a result of the intense interest. The first
division Of the Washington rolled three
scores above 900. winning two of the games.
The second division of the Marions won
three games with good scores. T. ]. Carter,
of the Marions, who has led the league in
the individual averages for several weeks,
made enough pins TO keep him in the lead.
The Capital Citys had rather easy work
with the Nationals and won six straight.
The Turner's took four from the Ko-We-
Bias. the North Sides five from the 1. B. c.
team and the Crescents and Pastimes split
even. The scores follow:

ST PAUL. Mimi, March 2s.-The rail-
way mail department of the st. Paul post
office to-day sent over twenty-five tons of
mail West. which has been held here for
the past three days in a hope that the
North Dakota flood situation would be re-
lieved. Delayed Western mails will also
soon reach here.
Tonight the Northern Pacific sent out
the regular Pacific coast train. which sig
nalizes the end of the second blockade in
transcontinental traffic within two weeks.
The water had so far receded early to-day
as to permit the transfer of passengers,
baggage and mail across the inundated
spots in hatboats, and by tonight the pass
age of trains was possible.
BISMARCK. y. D., March 2S.-After an
all-day trial the efforts to transfer pas
sengers across Mckenzie slough were aban-
doned this afternoon. Few of the passen-
gers would risk a trip in the skiffs provided
by the company, and an attempt will be
made tomorrow TO secure a gasoline launch
for use as a ferry. The general condition
has not improved. and water still covers
the tracks TO a depth of several feet.

wind and rainstorm which has prevailed
over southern Mississippi for the last forty
eight hours has demOralized all railway
traffic and Geographic communication to-

been completely isolated for the past two
days on account of the heavy rains. Many
streams in the country OverflOwed their
banks and all passage from the country
has been stopped, with no trains and mails.
Rain is still falling there. Great damage
has been caused By the flood at Newton,
Miss. and there is little probability of the
trains running through for several days.
About ten miles east the water is running
near the railroad tracks six feet deep and
four or five miles wide and two miles of
track have been swept away. Telegraph
lines are Frustrated in all localities. No
mail has been received over the star routes
since the rain. The bridges over the coun-
try roads in this vicinity have been washed
away and the roads cut up so as to be i'm
passable. In some places fences have been
swept away. LOwlands have been badly
washed by the sweeping current.
An embankment of the Illinois Central
