"bulied" cotton from I cents

inability to make good his cngng-

moments cotton fell nearly &13 a

been the privilege of few brokers
to witness before. Traders in

panics in previous years; corners
have been broken, and many

describing this exposition is used Win
authority. The acreage of the Louisiana

include the combined acreage OF the

The Worlds Fair at st. Louis is far
greater than was contemplated by its
creators. 1t has been estimated that at
least thirty per cent Of the extent Of this
exposition has been added to the original
conception, the promoters Of the enter
prise merely promising at the outset that
they would build an exposition larger
ansi more universally inclusive than any
predecessor. The enterprise has grown
by Involuntary accretion. Like a snow

Natural" Brick Beds in France

In the volcanic district Of the Puy de
Dome, central France, there are beds OF
natural brick" formed by flows of lava
over beds of clay. These brick beds are
magnetized permanently, and it has oc-
Cured to NM. David and Brunhes to
measure the direction of magnetization,
because it might indicate the direction
of the earth's lines Of magnetic force at
the epoch of the formation Of the brick.
They find that the declination OF the
magnetic lines Of the brick are about
so degrees from those of the earth now
at the place, and the inclination is about
rs degrees. The everything lava seems to
have much the same variation from the
existing magnetic field or the earth
