A Large Cotton Crop-Lower Prices.
1t begins TO appear as If the supply
Of cotton this year will be fully equal
10 all requirements. and the cotton
planters of the South will doubtless aet
wisely in selling the cotton they have
raisedsjust rs promptly as Il can be
brought 10 market.
The L: s: Government in its report
on the cotton crop, issued on the Sd OF
September, makes the condition OF the
crop S1.2. This is 17.2 per cent. better
than the report at the same time last
year, and the acreage shows al in
crease of about four per cent. This is
a total of twenty-one pei cent. over tast
years indicated productions which is
the equivalent of about 2.o0o,000 bales
of cotton. The indicated crop is, there
fore, somewhere in the neighbofl!ood
OF 100000 bales, and while it is pos
sible that ali early frost OF bad wealth
err may diminish these figures slightly
a crop of at least H. .000 bales
or over seems probable. Such a crop if
realized undoubtedly means much low
err prices. 1t is TO be hoped that the
cotton planters of the South will not
be misled by false prophets into hold
ing their cotton, but that they will, on
the contrary. sell it as rapidly as II
in. Nearly all authorities are
contirmatory of the Government
figures. Mr.. Theodore H. Price, the
well-known expert, makes the condi-
ton eighty-three and the crop 1900
600 bales, and the figures of the New
York Journal of Commerce Indicate
about the same conclusion.
The truth seems to be that the alb.
normally high prices to which cotton
advanced during the spring and sum
mer. although they protted Planters but
little. as the crop was practically all
marketed before these prices were re
allied, have greatly stimulated plant
ing and production in every direction.

SCIENCE OF BUILDING.
Houses Are Made Far From Where They
VIII Stand.

Houses Are Made Far From Where They
viii Stand.
Many OF the great steel structures
that are being built in every city are
planned and modelled In some distant
city-like the material for Solomon's
temple of ol~d-hundreds of miles away.
1t is in some rolling mill town of Penn
sylvania that. most of the gigantic
frameworks for the modern skyscrap-
ers are built, All that remains is to
put them together and the building
rises up like a house of blocks.
Every piece is fitted together and
numbered before it is taken away from
the steel mill. So exact are the meas
urements that not even the drilling of
a hole is necessary for fitting the rivets
which fasten the plates and Orders
together. The watchlike precision with
which these parts are made was shown
in the construction of one of these
buildings which is now being erected
in Chicago.
One of the large cross Orders was
missing in the framework of the second
floor, and though 1t did not interfere
with the placing of the framework on
all sides and above it, the contractor
vas worried to know what had become
Of it. When the framework had grown
as high as the sixth or seventh story
and the missing piece had not been
found around the railroad yards or
heard of from any other source, he
wrote to the steel mill, describing it
as closely as possible, ordering that it
be duplicated.
BY the return mail he received the
following reply:
las ground space is more valuable in
Chicago than here in the country we
are storing missing girder for you. We
know that you would need a steel der
rick on that floor. and kept the girder
out so you would have room. Will ship
1t after the remaining stories have been
completed"
The mill men had figured correctly on
the building hundreds of miles away,
and the girder could not have been
placed in position, even if it had been
on the grounds, on account of the der
rick.-Chicago Tribune.

Theory That Precious Stones Came e

Diamonds from the skies, conveyed
to earth In meteoric showers, is a the

TO the more or less resistant charac-
ter Of the surface where they fell.
The most striking confirmation. OF
the theory comes from Arizona. Here
on a broad plain over an area about
five miles in diameter were scattered
1000 to 1000 masses of metallic Iron
the fragments Weighing from half q
ton to a fraction of an ounce. There
is little doubt these masses formed
part of a meteoric shower, although

bearing exactly the appearance which
would be produced had a mighty

ground, scattering in all directions
and buried itself under the surface
DR.. Foote in cutting a section of this
meteorite, found the tools were in
jured by something vastly harder thar
metallic iron. He examined the speci
men chemically and soon after an
nounced to the scientific world thai
the Arizona meteorite contained black
and transparent diamond. This dis
covery was verified by Professors
Friedel and Noissan, who found that

An Ingenious Scheme.

To any one who doesn't possess the
modest luxury of a private car, travel.
ing is always a thing fraught with dis.
comfort. Columns could be written
on the pathetic struggles of the woman
who travels TO stow her wearing ap-
parel away in the cofin-like confines
OF a lower berth. Any right-niinded
woman prepares to shed tears when
she thinks of the next morning state of
her travelling skirt. Time was when
porters looked after such things, and
could be induced to preserve garments
overnight in mysterious places, but
these days, on nine sleeping cars out
of ten, the porter is instructed to in
form you that he can't be responsible
for anything intrusted to him. These
things being as they are, l feel that l

peep into her berth after she had ar

What do we know OF pain OF ruth
In that first age of living?
The immortality of youth
Its transient splendor giving?
What do we reck of patience then,
OF self with self debating
To stay the impatient spirit when
1t has most need of waiting?
Oh. lesson hardest to be learned,
What must we lose to gain. it?
The wise discipline has been spurned.
Nor cared we to attain IT;
For life was then q summer song.
Our hearts and souls eiating.
We hurried with the eager throng.
And scorned the art Of waiting.
Now wiser grown we've learned to wait
To curb each high %endeavor;
We've learned our strength to estimat
When 1t has gone forever.
We've gained the lore when steps ar
slow
Past youth, past love. past hating
The wisdom we would fain forego.
The peace that comes with waiting.
