cotton.Rearlna Tree.

The federal department OF agrlcul-
ture has instructed the United States
consular agent at Guaralajara, Mexico.
to make a thorough investigation of
the cotton tree. which fiourishes in
that vicinity, and report fully to Wash
ington. It is evidently, says the Hous-
ton Post, the object Of the department
to introduce the tree into this country,
IL possible.
The cotton tree is said to be a ma
tive of the state of Jalisco. which is
one Of the smaller divisions Of the Pa
cific side of the neighboring republic.
According to Senior Hilario Cueyas, on
whose hacienda near Lagos 1t is being
scientifically cultivated, the plant be-
gins bearing when five years old. and
continues to be productive for half o
century or more. In some instances q
single tree has been known to produce
as much as fifty pounds OF cotton in
one season, the fibre being very SINH
lar TO that of the cotton plant and
adaptable TO the same uses. 1t is inn
mune against the boil weeyil and all
other insect pests. and under proper
conditions the growing OF it may be
| made immensely profitable.
If the report on the tree warrants
such action, the department of agricul-
| ture will no doubt take prompt steps
| toward growing it in the cotton belt of
this country. It is hardly likely that
| the cotton plant we all know so we'll
will be supplanted, but as a part of the
| campaign against the boil weevil
everything should be done which
| seems to tend toward immunity from
that pernicious insect. 1t may be that
the cotton tree will solve the problem
| Stranger things have happened.

MUSIC AND ANIMALS.
Tho Puma Is the Most Sensitive TO the

Tho Puma Is the Most Sensitive to the
influence of Melody.
Some very curious experiments have
recently been carried out in the Ger
man geological Gardens in order to
ascertain the actual influence of music
upon animals. The instrument was
the violin and Herr Baker was the per-
former.
OF all the animals the puma was the
most sensitive TO the musical inhu-
ence. His moods changed rapidly, ac-
cordlng TO the nature Of the melody,
the animal frequently becoming very
excited and nervous, Just like Il
Frenchman,' Ls the report says.
Leopards were entirely uncOncerned,
but the lions appeared to be afraid, al
though their cubs wanted to dance
when the .usic became livelier. The
hyenas were very much terrified, but
the monkeys We're merely curious and
the monkeys were merly curious.
The experiments are TO be continued,
and with variety OF instruments. in
order to distinguish between the men

by the music and those which are
