Part of the New System.

The new appointments to the British

LIFE'S ELEMENTS IN SEA.
NJ. Quinton, Noted French Savant,
Offers New Support to Dar-
winian Theory.

Ten years ago the injection of salt
water as a restorative to patients dying
from loss of blood aroused general in

salt water probably suggested to the
French savant, M. Quinton, a long and
patient research concerning sea water,
the conclusion Of which throws unex-
pected light on and adds support to the
Darwinian theory of evolution.
M. Quinton maintains that sea water
is the natural source from which. as
Prof. Haeckel believes, elementary
bodies rise which develop into all the

vironment wherein the anatomical ele-
ments of living creatures exist is neither

Two State Tickets Named by
Wisconsin Republicans.
THE PRESENT GOVERNOR
La Toilette, Heads the Ticket
Of One Faction.
HE WANTS A THIRD TERN.
The Other Wing of the Party, Which
Has the Support of Senators Spoon
er and Quarles, Nominates Samuel
A. Cook for Governor.

Madison, Wis, May 20.-Two con-
ventions, both claiming legal status
by right of delegate majorities hold
ing prima facie credentials, and both
asserting themselves to be regularly
republican, were concluded in Madi-
son last night.
Two state tickets, the one headed
by Gov. Robert NJ La Toilette, candi-
date for a third term, and the other
headed by ex-Congressman Samuel
A. Cook, were nominated.
The ticket named by the La Fol-
lette convention includes all the pres
ent state officers and the platform
only differs from the other In the in
tensity of its declaration in favor Of
so-called La Toilette reforms.
Gov. La Toilette considers himself
the choice of the regular republican
party. His delegates, according to
the state central committees count.
numbered 5s5h.
The other convention was endorsed
by Senator John c. Spooner and Sen-
ator Joseph v. Quarles, and its state
ticekt, it is declared, was legally
nominated by SCI delegates holding
prima facie credentials. Senator
Spooner voiced the sense Of the con-
vention when he said:
These delegates sitting here will
not have to stand merely upon the
| declaration of this committee on
credentials. Their right to seats here
will be tested and proved"
This means that the courts will bs
called upon to settle the dispute.

Interesting Facts About the
Great Staple.
THE AMERICAN PRODUCT
Has Increased Nearly 5,5OO,OOO
Bales in Twenty Years.
THE WORLDS CONSUMPTION.
In 20 Years IL Has Increased Nearly
100000 Bales-The United States
Is the Largest Producer and Also
the Greatest Consumer.

Washington, May 20.-The depart
ment of agriculture will issue shortly
a report on the consumption of cotton
in the cotton states, compiled by j. l..
Watkins, the cotton expert of the
bureau of statistics. Reviewing the
industry in the past 20 years it says
that Notwithstanding the great in
crease in the worlds consumption of
cotton, the overshadowing feature of
the period is the phenomenal increase
in consumption in the cotton states
This consumption in the south in
creased 1,607 900 bales, or 509 per
cent. The consumption In the north
increased in 20 years 10000 bales, or
SO per cent, and in the whole country
1858, 900 bales, or nearly 14S per cent
The report says every additional
1000 bales consumed in this coun-
try means shorter time for some for
eign mill, perhaps its shutting down,
IL no further expansion of the cotton
crop takes place During the past 20
years the United States has increased
its cotton crop nearly 5.500,OO0 bales,
or about sc per cent, India's crop has
increased 100000 bales of 400
pounds each, or 73 per cent; Egypt's
crop has increased $4,000 bales OF
500 pounds each, or 70 per cent.
Russia, which used to draw Sc
largely upon this country for her raw
cotton, is now supplying her own
mills with 100000 to 100000 bales
grown In her trans Caspian provinces
Brazil has almost ceased exporting
cotton, on account of home demand
| for her crop and the continent of Eu.
/ rope has increased its consumption
of cotton 2.492.000 bales or about 81
per cent. The consumption of cotton
in East India has increased 1920, ,00(
bales, or about 200 per cent. in the
last 20 years, and her mills now use
about half of the crop produced there
| Japan has erected mills equipped
with 1,333,000 spindles and is openins
from 600,0 900 to 100000 bales of cottor
annually, of which nearly 25 per cent
is American. The worlds consump
ton of cotton has increased nearly z,
100000 bales. or about "a per cent.
and the United States, the larges
producer, also has become the larges
consumer of cotton. The price of thii
staple is now regulated in the hom,
market instead of Liverpool
Every year since 1890 there hal
been an increase in the number o
mills and spindles in operation ant
with the single exception of 1899
an increase in the number of bale
consumed.
