MEXICO MAKING STRIDES.
Our Southwestern NeI@hbor Is Rap
Idly Taking On the Brf@knemH
Of America.

DIR. Charles Amezcua, of the City OF
Mexico, who is a gentleman of sciea-
tific attachments, told a Washington
reporter how much impressed he was
with the beauty of Washington and
with the surprising beauty of its au-
tumnal days
There is one thing" said he, that
probably great many of your readers
do not know, and that is how rapidly
the republic of Mexico is becoming
Amerieanized. Our people know of the
tremendous progress Of our great sis
ter across the Rio Grande, and while
they realize that there is yet an enor-
nous gulf that separates the one from
the other. still the United States is an
inspiration and an incentive. We re-
joice in seeing the United States take
precedence of the old-world monarch
les, and do not doubt it will eclipse
them all.
With such an object lesson before
us it is no wonder that Mexico is like
wise making rapid strides along the
road that leads to national greatness.
The country is awake, wide awake. and
everybody seems imbued with the idea
of glorious destiny. We are praying.
also. that Gen. Diaz may have his life
prolonged for at least ten more years.
because he is really the one great fac
tor in our advancement. and as long as
he lives no one fears but that all will
go well with our country"

BLUE LIGHT AIDS SURGEONS.
COIored Rays of Electric Globes
Found of Great Value in Their
Operations.

A st. Petersburg physician has ex-
perimented with blue electric light.
which showed noticeable results in
many phases of diseases and surpassed
the efficacy Of the white electric light
usually employed heretofore.
Tie Journal, Prof MendeIsohn's
Care of Patients, of Berlin, states that
1t is possible through the use of blue
electric light to make operations pain
less without resorting to other anaes-
theties. Burns Of the skin, and espe-
cially of the mucous membrane, are
said to have not only been rendered
painless but healed also more rapidly.
The value of this treatment becomes
important from the fact that it can
easily be employed where it is difficult
to use other therapeutic remedies on
account of location, as in the throat
or deeper down in the aHmentary ca
nal.
1t is also to be noted that the use of
the blue electric light contributes
much in lessening the pains caused By
cancerous growth in a marked degree.
and Is said rapidly to effect a complete
cure of lupus, this very severe disease
OF the skin which frequently resists
every other method of treatment.

THE KAISER AS BANDMAsTER.
HsndIss the Baton for one of His Reg
tmsntS with the Air of
Professional.

Emperor William led the band of the
Cuirassier regiment lately at Neudeck.
near Breslau, one night lately, hand
ling the baton with quite a profess
sional air, says a Berlin report. The
incident took place after a great ban
quet at which the band played. His
majesty, together with Prince Henckel
Won Donnersmarck, Field Marshal Won
Waldersee and Maj. Gen. Won Moltke,
passed in front of the musicians.
The emperor asked the band to play
an old cavalry march composed in
1902 and called 'Steerdebeker, which
Won Moltke, himself one of the finest
amateur musicians in Germany, resur-
rected and rewrote as a musical curl
osity.
Thereupon his majesty took the
baton and conducted several old Han
overian marches. He afterwards
handed the baton to Won Moltke, who
directed several of his own compost
tions. The next day the emperor
visited the band while it was at prac-
tice, remaining for an hour, and again
conducted various numbers.

GERMANY's AIR BATHS.
A New Fad That Is Being Followed
by the FaAhIOnabIss of
Berlin.

sAir baths" are all the rage in
fashionable Berlin just now. We
all know what necessary factors
light and air are for the mainte-
nance of health The Berlin air
baths have the great advantage of
being pleasant as well as healthy.
and many of the society ladies of
the German capital have taken them
up. The scenes now reproduced were
photographed at the Berlin insti-
tute, which started this open air
idea, and which has already become
famous both in Europe and Amer
lea. says Golden Penny.
Even the tiniest children are taken
to these baths" as well as young
girls and more elderly ladies.
The main object, of course, is to
exercise both the muscles and the
lungs at the same time. and the
nondescript kind of bathing dress
which is worn allows the ladies a
delightful sense of freedom while
praeticing their gymnastic feats or
playing at gardening in the grounds.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
the garden is kept as secluded as
possible. Surrounded by high walls.
it is situated in a quiet locality just
outside the city.

FENCE TO KEEP IN RAIN.
1t la Suggested That One 500 Feet
High Would Act as Do Noun
tain Masses.

1t is a matter of common knowledge
that in hilly situations the rainfall IS
much above the average. and that a
town may be so situated with regard TO
neighboring elevations that it viii re-
ceive two or three times the amount
of rain in a year that falls on place
only a few miles distant, says Cham
bers' Journal.
A case is quoted in one of Prof. Tyn-
dall's lectures, where the rainfall of
one Irish town amounts to SO inches
and of another to only 21 inches, the
difference being due to the action of
the Kerry mountains in folcing the
moist winds up suddenly TO a higher
level, where they meet with the cold
necessary to precipitate their moisture
as rain.
Rollo Russell has suggested that we
might control the rainfall artifciaIlv
by the erection of immense walls, ex-
tending fer some six or seven miles in
length, and from 400 to 400 feet high.
Such walls would act as natural hills
in Giver:ing the path of the moisture
lsoen air, and the clouds would be
forced to yield their treasures.

How the Fresh Water Fish Are Cap
tured for the Markets OF
the Country.

Practically all commercial fishing /.
fresh waters is carried on by the US
of nets, whether rowboat or an ur
to-date tug is employed. The gill nett
the handiest and is much used in LAX,
Erie. This forms fence on the bottom
OF the lake about six feet high and any.
where from 500 feet to several miles
long. These nets are made of thin cord
and can be slowed away in a very small
compass, says the Buffalo Express. A
lsh will swim against the fence Of net
ting, get its head caught in the mesh,
and will stay there until taken out by
the fishermen. The nets are kept in
position in the water by lead sinkers
on the bottom and cork hobs on top.
The entire net is also anchored secure
~, while the spot is marked by buoy.
Gill nets often come in sections 300
feet long, and are fastened together in
gangs. Fishing tugs often set a gang
that is over four miles long. Each boat
Is equipped with two gangs.
Pound nets, whose use IN New York
waters is prohibited, are used in Ohio
and Canadian waters. They form large,
receptacles in the water into which
fish find their way and are prevented
from getting out by a trap-like ar
rangement at the entrance. Game fish
are often caught in pound nets. Then
there are also smaller trap nets, fyke
nets, and many other varieties, some
Of which are peculiar to different To-
calities.
Some commercial fishing is carried
on by theuse of set lines for surgeons.

siyely employed.

GREEN rHE coIoR OF hope.
OF All cOIOrs the Most RestfuI, and
La Always Right tR
"a H. Nature. sssgzs

There is always a mystery about
green. 1t is Ireland's color, it is the
fairies color, it is supposed to be un-
lucky to some particular families,
and is regarded with suspicion by
others. 1t is the color said to indi-
cate an artistic spirit; it is decadent
and modern. and it is extremely I'M
becoming to the sallow, says the Lon
don Graphic.
And yet, of all colors, it is the most
restful, and. in the correct tints, the
most ladylike for dress. The green
bedroom overlooking the orchard is
the one that lends itself to pleasant
thoughts and agreeable dreams. that
tempts to good humor and repose.
My lady's boudoir. all hung with
green, reminds one of a rustic bow
er, the garden room, opening on to
the greensward and the roses, is the
coolest room in the house.
Green is always right in nature; il
Is only we poor humans who make a
mess of it when we try to use it for
the adornment of our bodies. The
dark, the muddy complexioned, the
heavy featured should avoid it like
poison; but apple green, willow
green, moonlight green-what mar
Vicious effects cannot be made out of
them in cunning handsl
Green is the color of hope, of youth,
of spring, of love. The woman who
can wear green-her own peculiar
shade of green's fortunate.

Millions of butterflies are eaten
every year by the Australian aborig-
ines. The insects congregate in vast
quantities on the rocks of the Bugong
mountains and the natives secure
them by kindling fires of damp wood
and thus suffocating them. They then
are gathered in baskets, baked, sifted
TO remove the wings, and finally

Baxter 6 COS Cotton Letter.

New York. May s.-cotton in New Or leans and New York was very much ex- cited today. July in New Orleans was the feature, showing an advance of A points, July selling as high as Il. 42.
 July in New York opened points up at 1915, sold at 10.32 and closed at 1929.
 Numerous stop loss orders lifted the old months sharply before the close. New orleans shorts were on the run Cables were to 8 points higher today and the tone at Liverpool was firm. Liverpool stocks at the close of the week are 6S6'o0o against 1,o32,O00 last year. American stocks are 603, ,OO0, against 9O9.O0O last year. and there was loss in the American during the week of 3S.000. but this was in part offset by an increase In the amount afloat to the extent of 20,000 bales.
 The Chronicle report for the week sim nlv confirmed previous private reports of benefit by recent rains and reported mois- ture during the week at 15 stations in Texas, in some instances as high as zl5 inches. Receipts today were 5000, against 14OO0.

 New York, May 9-September cotton this morning was really the feature in the days excitement.
 For the first time the fact that May cotton and spot cotton as we'll is selling at a very high price in comparison with the September. and October deliveries seemed to appeal to the short interests It did not require very much buying to boost prices 15 points and It all took place in about fifteen minutes. On the other hand October failed to move very much and this is just about what was to be expected at this time. During recent ad- vance in May cotton, July did not move very much for time and after July be- gan to move 1t took some time for August to increase the size of its strides.
 It is not strange, therefore. that when the movement in this direction has ex- ended as far as September, October should be left out In the cold for the moment. But as long as cotton continues to advance in price or even to maintain It's present level, we regard the early fall months as the most likely investment on the list We have done our best to keep every one off the short side for 1t only
