NEW USE FOR corroNsEED.
Once Waste Product 1t Us Now UEea
An the Manufacture of
Paper.

A few years ago cottonseed was
waste product, and the only use made
of it was to compost it and, when rot
ted, use it as a fertilizer. It's indus
trial utilization began with the extrac-
tion of the oil it contains, and it has
now become the raw material of so
many important industries that last
spring, when it became necessary 10
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
gained 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
bulls for paper stock will be under
taken at mills conveniently located in
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.

COST OF MEERSCHAUM.
The Expense LIS Not in the Raw Ma
teriaI But in the Making
of the Pipes.

A fire in a pipe-maker's shop the
other day spoiled the proprietor's
stock of meerschaum, 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 Can
mel coal in shape, are packed in OBJ
long boxes, about two feet and 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
flaws in it. The shavings, however. are
never wasted. They are used to make
a cheaper grade of pipes, which are
known as chip meerschaums.

INSTRUCTION BY PHoNoGRAPH
Teach Various Languages to
students.

Correspondence schools which UNI
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 a 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 photograph lesson
as often as he finds necessary, and
thus impress upon his memory every
detail of pronunciation and infec-
tion.
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 mag
inc that the temptation to initiate its
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.

1.-THE whole cab-service of Germany
is regulated in way to make the
American enyious of German institu-
tions," writes Ray Stannard Baker, in
''Seen in Germany" In most cities a
large proportion of the cabs are pro-
vided with misunderstanding dials
placed in front of the seat and so ar
ranged that they indicate just how
much the passenger owes at any
given time. For instance, when you
take a cab in Berlin the indicator
shows charge of so pfennigs (12
cents) as soon as you take your seat,
and as you drive the figures change,
40 pfennigs at time, and when you
are ready to stop you pay the sum in
Dictated by the dial, no more, no less.
Thus there is no chance for extortion
on the part of the cabman, and no
disagreement as to charges, feature
of disagreeable prominence in London
and Paris And it may be said in
pass -lg that the charges are general
ly very low compared with those in
American cities.
