INTEREST IN COTTON GROWING
Prominent British Merchant Says
America VIII Soon Want for
Home Use All Raised There.

Interest has been renewed in the cot
ton growing experiments being con-
Quoted in West Africa, through an in
terview given by Sir Alfred Jones, a
prominent Liverpool, England, mer-
chant, who has been studying the pro-
duction of cotton for three years. He
declares that the United States will soon
want for home uses all the cotton grown
there.
About ten years ago." he said.
America produced about 1000, 900
bales of cotton and Great Britain took
half of it. Now America produces
II 600, 900 bales and Britain takes no
more than she did ten years ago. Then
the British Cotton Growing association
was started and the results of the asso-
cations work have been more satisfac-
tory than ! anticipated. The whole of
the West African colonies and the West
Indies have been made to take a deep
interest in the question of raising cot
ton and are working exceedingly we'll
America may yet have to look to West
Africa for her cotton supply, because
believe cotton will be produced more
cheaply in West Africa than in the
United States"

RIDDLES AND HORSE RAIR.
Germany and Russia Furnish Most
Essential Part of Violin, Cello
and Bass VfOl Bows.

There is vast amount of horse hair
annually used in the United States for
making and repairing violin, violoncello
and bass VOL bows, said dealer in such
materials to a writer for the New York
Mail and Express recently. "All of the
hair comes from Germany and Russia,
in which countries the tails of horses are
generally allowed to grow much longer
than here. The foreign hair is also
coarser in texture and tougher than that
which grows on the American horse, and
these qualities make the imported arti-
Gle more valuable than the domestic
product is for the purpose. There are
only two kinds of horse hair suitable
for making bows, and they are Of the
white and black varieties The former is
used for violin bows, and the latter,
which is heavier and stronger, is the best
material for making bows for cello and
bass viols, because it bites the larger
strings better. The imported hair is put
up in hanks of Sc inches long, which is
five or six inches longer than the stand
ard violin bow. A hank is sufficient for
one violin bow, while two hanks are re-
quired to hair a cello or bass VOL bow.
There are about one and one-half ounces
OF hair in hank, which is worth from
20 to 30 cents. according to the quality
Of the hair"

WEARING OF THE MONOCLE.
Little Affected I'm America, But Con-
sidered Quite the Thing Among
the English SVVelIs.

The single eyeglass, or monocle, is
worn by only two Philadelphians. says
the Philadelphia Record. A half-dozen
New Workers wear it, and, even in
Chicago, 1t has a couple of votaries.
An oculist talked about it the other
day:
'Dr. Kitchener, back in 1924, thought
1t good thing" he said. Kitchener adj
vised its alternate use, now in the right
eye, now in the left one He said in his
book that he had cultivated the habit of
picking up the glass, each time he wanted
to use it, with different hand. OF course,
picked up with the right hand, it had TO
go into the right eye, and vice versa.
''As a matter Of fact, the single eye
glass is injurious. Itthrows all the work
on one eye. 1t destroyes the harmony of
the optic muscles and nerves know an
Englishman who has worn, for myopic
affection, monocle in his left eye for II
years. The left eye is all right, but with
the other the man can see practically
nothing.
Joseph Chamberlain wears his mo-
nocle in either eye alternately, and his
son does the same thing The habit of
the monocle continues to live among
the English swells."

PLUMBER CAT.
Ingenious Device by which Woman
Sets a Feline to Discover
Leak I'm n Pipe.

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that a woman
of Manayunk accomplished the other
day, says the Philadelphia Record
This woman had noticed that one of
the pipes connected with the washstand
in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely,
without tearing out any more of her
wall than was needful. Accordingly,
she shut her cat up in the parlor-the
parlor is directly below the bathroom
and into the basin of the defective
washstand she poured vial of the oil
of valerian, Cats are excessively fond
Of the odor of valerian; cat would
rather inhale this odor than eat fish.
The Manayunk woman's cat, after it
had been in the parlor few minutes,
began to purr. Purring, it crossed the
room; it settled itself on the floor with
its face 10 one spot on the wall, and
here it's mistress found it when she
came downstairs, its nose glued to the
spot, shifting and purring ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point, and
here, sure enough, the leak was found.
Here the valerian had trickled through,
imparting its intoxicating odor to the
cat

MARvELs OF FRUIT BREEDING.
How Orchard and Garden Hybrids Are
Created-WOrk That Requires
Plenty OF Patience.

"The method of crossing two fruits, !"
as described by Mr.. Marcus Woodward
in Parsons, "is simplicity itself. The
horticulturist merely takes the pollen
from the flower of one specimen and
dusts it into the stigma of the flower
of another specimen. The result is a
hybrid, for better or for worse.
"Of course the experiment is not
made quite at haphazard without a
certain knowledge of Natures mystic
rious ways and laws of production
There is story of man who thought
ne would produce some marvellous new
fruit or flower, he dared not think
which, by collecting the pollen of his
garden flowers, and busting it upon the
flowers of his apple tree! But there is
a limit even to fruit-breeding. Five
years-possibly ten years-must pass
before there can be any certainty. Then
one spring, at last the seedlings them
selves bear fruit
'The fruit slowly ripens, and is
brought to judgment. There is an ex-
citing moment when it is tasted. Many
points are taken into consideration.
Is the flavor good? Is the fruit good
color? Does the flesh separate freely
from the stone? Is it as juicy as it
should be?

gins. Only the finest are allowed to

QUEER FACTS ABOUT RAIN.
One Catches Less Water by Walking
Than Running in a DOwnpOur-
A Possible Explanation.

do you know" said the observant
citizen, according to the Philadelphia
Press, "the habit of running through
the rain is based on definite fallacy?
1t Is common habit. But does 1t tend
to minimize the amount of water fall
ing on a person exposed to the rain?
j am convinced that 1t rather aggra-
Yates the situation. BY experience, in
passing the distance of block. rum
ming one time and walking the other,
and at times when the rainfall was
about the same. / found that my
clothes picked up more water and were
consequently damper when 1 covered
the distance in a lun than they were
when l walked it.
There seems to he a good reason
for the rather curious fact. Rain falls
frreguiarly. Sometimes there is q
space OF five or six inches between the
FALLING drops, as We have noticed en-
smooth surfaces. like stone tagging,
and again only the fraction of an inch
will separate the drops. Water oc-
caslOnally falls in sheets, but this is
mot usual But while the fall is irreg-
lular, considered with respect to the
perpendicular lines described in the
descent, looking straight ahead and
through the lines we will find before us
a sheet Of water that is well-nigh solid.
we can understand that running
against this sheet of water will have
very much the same effect wind would
have if its direction forced the rain
into orr faces. We simply pick I'D the
water, and the fact that the spaces be-
tween the drops perpendicularlv con-
sidered are greater han the spaces in
any given direction horizontally will
explain to lis the fallacy of the whole
thing"

The Night Hawks are band Of In
dams in the Cherokee nation who are in
corrigibly opposed to the adjustment
of tribal relations. We gather from
a story in the Vinita Chieftain the fol-
lowing beliefs of these Indians: They
say they will not file on their lands, be-
cause they did not enroll when the
Dawes commissioners took the census.
They claim the United States govern
ment has nothing to do with them, and
that the secretary of the interior has
no power, and that England will come
across the water and destroy this gov
eminent England will bring suit
against the United States for them, and
that Uncle Sam will give them back
their courts, and that England, Ger
many, Spain and Cuba will see that this
is done.
They claim to have q secret attorney
in Washington, and that the president
of the United States and Mr. Hitchcock
do not know who he is. They claim
their attorney Is from London. They
say this country will never be allotted
without their consent. They pin their
faith to the old treaty of 1857.
They say they have a treaty with
Great Britain dated iii, on the 41st
day of February. Any one who reveals
a secret is to be killed like dog Some
of them claim the Night Hawks will
be in Asia next year. Those of them
who voted this year are to be exiled
to New Mexico. Their lawyer in Wash
ington will have the Indian agent order

BRIDES FOR SOUTH AFRICANS.
Bound for Cape Town Has q Num-

Hardly mail steamer leaves England

has gone before to provide home in
that land of promise, says London dis

Not infrequently the list of passen-
gers includes three or four brides, who
ENORMOUSLY confide their secret to each
other with the result that the vessel is
seldom many days at sea before the
bride becomes known all over the ship.
Sailors consider it lucky to have brides
on board.
The bridegrooms meet them at the
landing place, and forthwith they re-
pair to public office to be married by
special license, while genial Jack Tars
crowd the gangway and throw rice
among the brides hair.
These marriages are mostly happy Sc

Woman having decided to settle in
South Africa and bring thither the girls
they had left behind them.
But there have been exceptions. Fir
tations on board-no place equals a

brought bitter disappointment to wait
ing bridegrooms. Sometimes girls get
engaged on the voyage to fellow passen-
gers or members of the crew, and arrive
at the Cape "off with the old love and
on with the new"
1t has also been recently observed that
young girls are going to South Africa

Dealing In broken Glass.

One of the novel trades of London
is that of a dealer in secondhand
plate-glass. Nearly all of this glass
is bought by the dealer from insur-
ance companies. The large plates of
this kind of glass are insured when
put in a window, and when any Of
them are broken, the owner of the in
iured glass usually prefers that the
insurance company should replace the
broken plate rather than he should be
paid its price. The dealer in the Sec
ond-hand glass contrives to utilize what
remains of the unbroken part of the
glass, cutting it into panes of smaller
size, and disposing of them after
wards
