1t is useless to offer further explana-
tions of this heavy movement Need
less to say it has occasioned no little
disappointment, but the fact remains
that exports are remarkably heavy and
that Liverpool, where the market Is
usually influenced by the heavy re-
ceipts. is apparently taking the view
that no matter how big the crop, prices
are not to be attacked under present
conditions. New Orleans expects to-
morrow $4,000 to $4,000, against 2,120;
Houston, 1,S00 to 1000, against II, 10Y.

Hubbard Bros. 8 COZ Cotton Letter,

New York, Jan. 80. 0.-Interruption of
telegraph communication by the severe
sleet and rain storm throughout the
South has given the market a quiet
tone all day. This storm is also ex-
pected to interrupt the movement Of
the crop for next week. European ad-
vices showed a lower opening and a
subsequent improvement on the same
expectation of falling off in the move
ment. The market has been practically
at a standstill. the very light receipts
at Houston being offset by the large
receipts at New Orleans on the last
day of the month. Estimates of the
insight movement range from $50 900
to 265,OOO bales, making the total move
ment to Feb. over 1900, 900 bales. The
Texas movement after this date in
the shortest crop year was half mil
lion. With the same amount left Texas
points to about 100000. Traders are
waiting for some fresh factor to give
activity Long selling for Wall street
account has continued for several
days.

distinct communities or political units
must concur in some act of government
or IN the choice of officials or representa-
uYes, 1t cannot, of course be done in n
Town meeting or IN mass meeting, and
the theory Of our government of all re-
publican governments, is that it can only
be ettectually done, or that much the best
way to do 1t is through an assembly of
the chosen representatives Of these di-
verse communities. The representative
principle thus lies at the base of our
whole political structure A delegate
convention would seem to be as neCeS-
sary to the intelligent concurrent action
OF these diverse political units in making
state or federal nominations as is the
state Legislature to the making of laws
Tor the whole body OF the people. 1t
is all the more necessary because the is
sues involved in congressional or state
elections are party issues. The delegate
convention is the party legislature 1t is
the highest expression of it's organic uni
ty. 1t lays down the political law of the
party IN its platform. 1t designates the
committees who are to carry on the cam
palgn work Of the party Without the
delegate convention there can be no
party organization, no organic party uni
ty, no party law or party platform. The
primary election law carried to the eX-
tent demanded by its extreme advocates
means the disintegration of political par
ties.
Whatever, therefore, may be the mer-
its of the primary election system as APP
piled to an autonomous political unit,
like city or a county, it cannot be
properly applied to an aggregation Of
diverse communities like a congressional
district or the state at large. The objec-
lions to it are so serious-and we have
not stated them all, and they are begin
ming to be so well Understanding there
is no probability that it will ever be ex-
tended to state officers, and it is more
than likely that it may be limited to
cities of considerable size and perhaps to
counties also. The villages and towns
are arrayed against it's introduction in
their elections. But it will require a
good deal of amendment to do away
with it's obvious defects in municipal
elections -

The Ocean Bed.

M. J. Thoulet has investigated the con-
stitution of the ocean bed, and finds that
the more deeply it is penetrated the lesa
proportion of slime and the less Calcare-
Gus matter. On the other hand, the pro-
portion Of sand grains and pure clays in"
creases with the depth. No regularity
obtains in the distribution of the nOn-cal-
careous mineral grains. This normal dis
tribution appears to be more pronounced
the deeper the ocean bed itself lies below
the water surface, but, in any case, the
variations due to ocean depth are small.
Even In the deepest water the constitu-
tion of the bed shows traces of the con-
ditions prevailing near the surface Of the
ocean above the bed. The latter remark
Is of Importance, as the author points
out, when we consider that complete
analysis chemical, mechanical and min.
eralogical-appIied to ancient geological
strata Is competent to shed a food Of
light upon the ancient conditions that
prevailed at the surfaces Of oceans that
have long since disappeared, leaving 10
trace other than their effect on the an
Gent ocean beds.-New York Sun.

The height of Mount Btna, the famous s
volcano of Sicily, has long been fixed at
1886 feet. It's height has recently been
more accurately measured by trigonome t:
ricol processes and the exact elevation is
fonnd 70 be 1O.775 feet. The difference
is not important, but the more re exact iact de- de-
the maps hereafter published. The main
crater has a width of 1928 feet and a
depth of S26 feet. Mount Etna has Pc
RODS of almost complete quiescence Six
wears had elapsed after the eruption of
1899, when in the autumn Of 1898 blue
flames began to emerge from the mouth
Of the largest crater and a great deal
Of vapor was emitted from the lesser r. or
ifces. 1t was then announced that Etna
seemed to be preparing for an eruption
Of lava probably on the south or er s9g5h
however. did not begin till the morning
of July 10, 1899, when great volumes of
smoke and lava began to issue from the
main crater, but after several days the
activity gradually subsidized, and Etna
soon resumed its peaceful aspect and
has since seemed to be in a slumberous
condition.-New York Sun.

The robes of crimson velvet and white
satin and ermine to be worn by duch-
esses, countesses and harnesses at the
coronation will be rather overpoWcring
in more ways than one to n great many
of their wearers. The Duchess of Port
land probably will find them as unsuIta-
BILE to 4 June day as other people, but
she, at any rate, may have the satsfac-
ton of knowing that, however she feels,
she will not look overwhelmed by them,
says House Notes. Her grace is a tall
and regal-ooking woman, and velvet and
crmine will exactly suit her style Of
beauty. The duchess was n Miss Dallas
Yorke, and her marriage to the Duke OF
Portland was the result of his seeing her
Mt n railway station where she Glanced
to have gone to meet the train by which
he was travelling. The duke was so at
tractcd by her beauty that he inquired
who she was, and soon afterwards man
aged to secure the Introduction to her
which eventually led to their marriage;
This event is said to have been predicted
some time before by the well-known old
gypsy fortune teller Of Brighton.

THE TURIN HOLY SHROUD.
Remarkable PhotoErnp hs of the Mi-
racuIoua Winding Sheet.

Remarkable Photographs of the hi-
raculoua Winding Sheet.
M. Vignon read a most interesting pa
per at the last meeting Of the Academy
of Sciences and exhibited some photo
graphs which he had taken Of the wind
ing sheet preserved at Turin and tradi-
tionally said to be that Of Christ. This
winding sheet has on it certain markings
printed in n brown color which when
photographed give a white imprint, as
does Il negative when printed from.
These markings, therefore, act as true
negative and NJ. Vignon has shown by
certain careful experiments that cloth
impregnated with oil and aloes, as was
the winding sheet in question, will re-
ceive an impression when in contact with
ammoniacal vapors such as would be CIV
en- off from a sweat very rich In urea, as
is the case in the sweat Of person dy-
ing a lingering and painful death.
Any idea Of fraud need not be consid-
cred. for no one has touched this winding
sheet since 1853, and no painter at that
date had the skill to reproduce such an
exact drawing. The impression of the
head is excellent. The wounds produced
nv the crown Of thorns and the marks
!. of the blood drops are quite obvious.
The wound in the side and even the
marks OF the stripes produced on the
back of the fagellation are also quite evil
dent, Each of these stripes has at its
end an enlargement such as would be
produced by a cord with a ball of lead
at the end. 1t Is well known that thus
form of scourge was employed by the
Roman soldiers and such a one has been
found oU at Pompeii Finally, the marks
of the nails in the arms are not In the
palm Of the hand, but show that the
nails we're driven through at the level Of
the wrist. NJ. Vignon's paper has Great
ed an extreme interest both In the sclen"
tifc and the religious world.-Lond0n

A NIGHT OF PERIL.
Man Caught by Tide CIimbs Face OF
Sheer Cliff.


John Becker, a merchant of Aberdeen,
" ash, spent all of one night and part
OF the next day perched on a narrow
ledge Of a cliff overhanging the Pacific
ocean, unable to move for fear Of falling
into the waves which were running high
below him.
Becker was one of several men who
had been up to the Queets country and
returning, they took the route along the
beach down through the Ouonault reser-
walton, above North Beach.
just to the north Of the cliffs 10 a long
tunnel worn under the rocks, and this
short cut is usually taken.
When Hecker reached the entrance to
the tunnel he noticed that the tide was
coming in, and before he reached tho
exit the water was up to his waist, and
when he came out ON the beach the surf
was breaking heavily along the foot of
the cliffs.
To 90 back again was impossible, and
Becker started to climb the face Of the
cliff. With his pocket knife he dug holes
Tor his hands and feet, and finally sue
ceeded in getting out of the reach of the
waves. lie found a cleft In the rock
large enough for him to stand upon.
Above him the face of the cliff tow
cred for several hundred feet while be-
low were the waves. His clothing was
torn, his hands cut and bleeding from
using his knife and from contact with
the jagged rocks, and he was drenched
to the skin, but he had escaped death
from drowning.
Night came on and his companions,
who had gone on ahead, started back to
find some trace of him. 1t was then
nearly dark, but the men procured ropes
and assembled to the top of the cliffs.
every effort was made to get rope to
him, but none Of sufficient length could
be secured, and the men were compelled
to abandon the attempt to rescue their
comrade.
All through the long hours Of the night
Becker stood on his narrow ledge OF
rock, clinging to the wall.
With the rising of the sun the tide
again commenced to cbb, and Becker
started down. 1t was even harder to
descend than it had been to climb the
wall the night before, but he finally
reached the bottom, SO exhausted that he
fell helpless on the shore, but fortunately
his companions had scrambled back to
their camp and forced their way along
the sea wall OF the cliff in the face Of
the receding tide, reaching the spot just
as Becker fell, utterly exhausted and
helpless on the wet sand.
1t will be some time before Becker re-
gains his health, his nervous system hav-
ing suffered terribly from the strain and
exposure.
