COST OF MEERSCHAUM.
The Expense Ii Not in the Raw Ma
terial Hut in the Making
at the Pipes.

4 fire in a pipe-maker's shop the
other day spoiled the proprietor's
stock of meerscha um, and incidentally
disposed of the idea, common in most
smokers minds. that this commodity
is very expensive. Meerschaum itself
is not expensive. That used by the
manufacturers in this country is inn
ported as raw material from Austria,
but most of it is obtained in Asia
Minor. Usually there are three or four
different grades. running from the
rough and mixed to the pure and fine
ly grained article. There is no duty
upon it. The chunks, not unlike Cam
mel coal in shape. are packed in OBJ
long boxes. about two feet and a half
long, foot wide, and foot high. The
raw material is quite brittle and has
to be soaked in water before it is used
for modelling.
Meerschaum pipes are expensive.
says the New York Post, because much
Of the material from which the bowls
are made has to be thrown away be-
fore a piece is found that has no
daws in it. The shavings, however, are
never wasted. They are used to make
cheaper grade of pipes. which are
known as chip meerschaums.

INSTRUCTION BY PHONOGRAPH
Teach Various Languages to
Students.

Correspondence schools which un.
dertake to teach languages by mail
have found useful adjunct in their
system in the photograph. In adj
dition to the usual instruction papers,
which give the student reading
knowledge of a language, a speaking
knowledge may be gained by the ex-
change of record cylinders between
instructor and pupil. 1t is claimed
that by this means the student may
acquire perfect pronunciation, since
he can repeat the monograph lesson
as often as he finds necessary, and
thus impress upon his memory every
detail of pronunciation and infiec-
ton.
If the student can avoid acquiring
the Punch and Judy tone of the pho
nograph. says the New York Times,
there would seem to be no reason
why this method should not be an
extremely good one. One can imag-
inc that the temptation to initiate it's
peculiar squeak, especially in French,
would be almost Irresistible. The
idea constitutes one of the most prac-
teal uses yet made of the phono-
graph

LADY SELBORNE IN POLITICS,
Marquis of Salfsbury's Eldest DauEh-
ter Yields q Very Great
influence.

The English prime minister's eldest
daughter, countess of Selborne, a very
clever, remarkable woman, is rega rded
by many as the one of all Lord Sails
bury's eight children who most re-
sembles him in clearness of judgment
and intelligent apprecia ton. of passing
events. The women OF the Cecil family
have always been noted for their great
qualities.
Lady Selborne has been one of the
most successful Of political hostesses
in the last six years. When as Lady
Beatrix Maud Cecil her engagement to
the then Viscount Wolner was an
nounced there was sensation. for he
chosen husband was known as a typ
ical liberal of the old school, while her
father was tory of tories. The we'd
ding was great political as we'll as
social event nine years ago, the leading
members of the two parties doing
honor to the pair.
The bride evidently won her husband
over, for he became under secretary
of the colonies under Lord Salisbury
in 1895, and held that post until the re-
organization of the cabinet this year,
when he was made first lord of the adj
miralty.

NEW USE FOR corToNSEED.


A few years ago cottonseed was q
waste product, and the only use made
of it was to compost it and, when rot
ted, use it as fertilizer. It's indus
trial utilization began with the extrac-
now become the raw material Of SO
many important industries that last
spring, when it became necessary to
replant considerable areas of cotton
land which had been flooded by the
exceptional spring freshets. it was
found that the cleaning up had been
so complete by the buyer of the cot
ton-oil mills that enough seed for be-
tween-seasons planting was collected
with difficulty.
Hitherto the hull of the cottonseed
has had no value, but this is now TO-
be utilized in admixture with fax fiber
in paper manufacture. A company or.
ganized for this purpose has bought
extensive paper-mill properties at
Niagara, on the lands of the Niagara
Falls Power company. The collection
and preparation of the cottonseed
hulls for paper stock will be UNDER
taken at mills conveniently locatedrin
the south. The material will be used
in the manufacture of high-grade pa.
pers, and is said to give great strength
with beautiful finish. It's advantage
over other possible paper-making ma
terials is that it is the by-product Of
other Industries. and is consequently
much cheaper than one which has to,
be grown. gathered and prepared espe-
cially.
Probably the most useful steps in
mechanical progress, says the New
York Times, are those along the line
OF utilizing the waste products of ex-
listing Industries.

On Saturday last The Enterprise
collected subscription account
from local business man. who af-
ter payment was made exercised
his prerogative of ordering his
copy discontinued. stating that he
was doing the same with all range
papers. Still we noted that he was
subscriber to several city dailies,
as also to publications in his native
language. His stated reasons for
disseminating range papers was
that they did not furnish the
amount of reading that was found
in city dailies, fact which SEEM
ingly, in his mind, counteracted the
fact that naught of local interest is
found in the city press, the value of
respective publications being meas
ured solely by the number of square
inches of reading matter contained.
This reminds one of the man who
took the largest pair of boots in the
box, instead of the pair that fitted
him, simply because the price was
the same. 1t is all right to take the
city paper, it is all right to take the
publication in your native tongue
containing news from your native
land, but do not let either crowd
your local paper out of your home.

TWO ORIGINAL CONTINENTS.
DR.. A. e. Ortnnan, Princeton Professor,
Corroborates Theories OF Voni-
berfng and Hedleys.

DR.. A. f. Ortman, curator of invert-
abraete paleontology in Princeton
university, Princeton, n. j., has made
discovery as to the original locations
and situations of the continents. The
discovery adds to the evidence of the
correctness of Wondering and He'd
ley's theory, which is that formerly
there existed only two main CONT
nents, known to scientists as Arch
helenos and Archinotos. He did this
by noting the geographical distribu-
ton of the fresh water crayfsh. The
continents on which the crayfish are
found must originally have been con-
nected, forming one main continent,
and the places where the fish do not
occur must have formed another con-
tinent. Archhelenos is the name given
by scientists to the continent on which
the crayfish did not occur, and con-
sisted of what is now India, Africa and
tropical America. The other CONT
nent, called Archinotos, consisted of
the southern part of South America,
Australia, the Antarctic regions and
the eastern part of Asia.

MARRIED BY TELEPHONE.
in Georgia Over n Long Dis
lance Line.

A wedding ceremony over the long
distance telephone line from Bowden,
Ga, to Carrolton, Ca, was performed
the other night.
C.. w. Mcdonald and Miss E. V. Cra-
ben, an clipping couple from over the
Alabama line, fled to Bowdon as safe
place of refuge, and determined to
use the wires to hasten the ceremony
and thwart any possible interference
from pursuing parents.
The operator at Rowdon phoned the
operator at Carrolton to secure a Ii
cense and minister. The services of
the latter could not be obtained, so a
justice of the peace was substituted.
In few minutes the license was pro.
cured, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Justice J. T. Norman, of
that place.
Witnesses at several way stations
and the terminal overheard the cere-
mony, and at its close offered their
congratulations. Payment of fees and
other necessary details were arranged
through the phone.

IT is surprising what can be Sc
cured by the almighty dollar in
this present age. Just now it has
been discovered that rifles and am
nunition has been smuggled into
the Philippines by vessels flying
the German flag, and this at the
time we are giving royal welcome
to Prince Henry. Just about the
time you get your mouth made up
to express a proper indignation at
such work, just remember that our
own people have been selling sup
plies to England to help it's troops
crush the Beers, and doubtless
there are now in the hands of the
Philippine insurgents arms and
supplies that came from the United

REFUSES FEE FROM sCHLEY,
1r. Rayner and His wife Are There

Presents By Admiral.

1sidor Rayner's fee for his services in
the Schley inquiry case was nothing.
The noted Maryland lawyer refused to
accept one penny from the admiral
either in remuneration for his services
or in repayment of the money he spent
In hotel bills incurred during the long
inquiry. The facts leaked out to-day,
when it became known that two mag
nificent presents had been sent Mr.. and
Mrs. Rayner by Admiral and Mrs.
Schley. At first Rayner refused to dis
cuss either the fee or the presents, but
late this evening he admitted that he
had declined to receive from Admiral
Schley any remuneration, although
that gallant officer rendered the man
who conducted his case signed blank
check.
Mr.. Rayner said tonight: II feel
that I should not be asked to say any,
thing on this question, but the news
papers have treated me so splendidly
that / cannot find the heart to deny a
fact that you have established SO well.
The admiral is such generous, noble
soul that he would have sacrificed his
last cent for those who represented
him in the case.''
The present sent Mr.. Rayner by ADJ
mlral Schley is heavy open-faced
timepiece of solid gold. The chain is
a very heavy one of finest gold. At
its end is solid gold pencil. The pres
ent to Mrs. Rayner is a magnificent
heart with pendant, stone of rare
brilliancy. Around the heart is bor-
der of so diamonds.

CHEAT SALT LIKE SINKING

TO the decline in the sWti &c of
Great Salt Lake is causing Mppre=
hension among the people of Utah.
This interesting body of water has
been steadily sinking for namber
of years, but the causes of it's de-
cline are not we'll understood. 1t
is thought by some that the lake is
subject to cycles of change which
correspond to like cycles of years
of heavy and light rainfall and that
it is now undergoing one of it's low
water periods from which it will
soon revive. The movement in the
waters have also been thought to
be related to the development of
agricultural and grazing interests,
which divert large quantities of
water from the streams which feed
the lake for use upon the land.
During past years the cutting of
the timber on the neighboring
mountains has been unusually
heavy. practically destroying the
forest protection of the head waters
of d number of streams whose wa
ters flow in the lake. The cutting
OF the forests is supposed to have
INJURED the flow of the streams and
those to have affected the lake level.
Great Salt Lake is the means of
considerable resource to Utah and
the value of property near the lake
and certain lines of business are
said to be unfavorably affected by
its decline. The matter is there
considered of so much importance
that the United States Geological
Survey has been asked to make an
investigation into it.
Some men are so mean they won t
even pay back borrowed trouble.
THE Duluth election contest will
be taken up in district court Mon
