"Wh-wh- what" asked the puzzled
commercial. what are they?'
Il am introducing ship canals" said
De Lesseps. gravely.
The commercial travellers feared that
they had fallen in with a lunatic an6

MILLIONS Ton COTTON GRoMERs

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun contains an account of an
invention for delinting and hulling cot
ton seed which is claimed to be of al
most as much Importance to the cotton
industry as was the invention of the
cotton gin. This invention deals en-
tirely with cotton seed, and covers all
steps in the treatment of the seed from
the time it leaves the cotton gin after
the cotton has been removed until it's
production into refined oil. The inven-
ton, 1t is said. does away with six
separate operations which are now NEG
essary and which require as many irI-'
tricate machines. All this is accom-
plished by a secret chemical process.
The lint and hulls are preserved with
out any waste and are very valuable
for paper stock and the kernel is
greatly reduced in weight and bulk,
making the cost of the transporta
ton of seed to cotton mills much
less than at present. 1t is
also said that, whereas under
the present process it is possible
to extract only about forty per cent.
cess fully one hundred per cent. can be
extracted. And all of this is done in
less than half the time required by the
present process. The results obtained
by the invention, as explained in the
dispatch, are as follows:
ton of seed by the new process are
said to yield 1000 pounds of paper
stock as compared with less than 400
pounds by the method now in use; and
this paper stock is worth, in the con-
dtion left by the new processes, from
$40 to $40 ton, as compared with be-
tween SO and 81 per ton for the amount
of paper stock recovered i'm poor con
0ition by the usual method. This alone
would constitute net gain of from 50
to $lS ton, or, on the basis of last
years product. ii is commended. would
save to the cotton growers of the South
about $SS.O00,00O.
In the process Of extracting the oil.
the oil cake is freed from the chemical
and becomes adapted for use as food
product for cattle or as a fertilizer
Under the usual method il is possible
to extract only about 40 per cent. of oil
from the seed. while the new process,
its hackers assert, makes possible the
extraction of practically 100 per cent
and the cost of producing crude oil by
the new method is reduced so per cent
The oil refined by the secret process is.
i'm addition, IL is asserted by chemists
who have made careful analysis, equal
TO any imported olive oil sold on the
American market, while the cost of
refining is no greater than the presen.
cost of refining crude cotton seed oil"
In addition il is purposed to roast
seeds and place them upon the
market just as peanuts are now sold,
the contention being that i'm time they
will become just as popular as peanuts
are. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
Invention is practicable. 1t will be
boon TO cotton growers IL it will pro-
duce the results claimed for IL.

There was shaking up of marriage
laws in several sections on the first
day Of the year. In New York the
common law marriage became obso-
lete. In Pennsylvania the new law
prohibiting the marriage of first cous-
ms became effective. In the District
of Columbia the new law limiting
divorce to one cause went into effect
The weakness of most of the marriage
laws, like the new one in Pennsylvania
for instance, is that they may be easily
defeated by going into an adjoining
state and being married or procuring
a divorce there. The state of New
Jersey does not think that the mar
riage of blood relatives is a menace to
the veal of society, hence Pennsylvania
cousins who love have only to spend
few dollars ins railroad fare to be-
come legally husband and wife.

that Blowitz made history as well
