MARKETS FOR FUTURES
ADVANCES AT OPENING IN RESPONSE
 TO HIGHER CABLES.
After the First Wave of Covering It Was Seen that the Big Bears Were still Selling Freely, and
 Break Results.

NEW YORK. Dec 2-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of s@lo po,nsS in response to higher cables than expected. Private advices reported that European shorts were covering. a policy that may have been encouraged by private estl- mate placing the crop at 11,4oo.ooo oales and also by the big demand for spot cotton at the decline. < But after the first wave of covering here it was seen that the big bears were sun selling freely; further reports of demoraizea Southern spot markets were circulated and shorts of the smaller kind partially With. drew their orders, prices inside ot 'he ITS. half hour broke to a new low. level for the seass h. At a net decline of points they were gradually rallied about 10 points rom the bottom. But while the big bears bought on the breaks they turned sellers again on the bulges and the recovery was not held.
 Trading too, seemed to be turning less active and during the best part of the after noon prices ruled around closing level or yesterday Q, The market was finally steady at a net advance of 2as points. Sales es- timated at 100000 bales.

1ected his health he did not even know
German. His pamphlet on education was.
however, translated into fifteen languages,
including Japanese.
Spencer was Il great phrase-maker. It
was he who popularized the word "evo-
tuition" and explained one of the phrases
of the Darwinian doctrine as the sur

Comics coined word sociology
He was a bachelor and long lived in
boardine-houses. Finally he set up an
establishment OF his own where he could

years was 20 sit in the open doorway

HoLSTElN-FRIESIAN PRIZES.

The worlds fair committee of the Hol-
stein-Freisian association of America is
sending out an address to breeders ard
exhibitors Of Holstein- Freisian cattle rela-
tive to an especial effort toward an ex-
ceptional display of that breed at ST Louis
next September. The committee is COM
posed of six prominent breeders, with w.
j. Giilett of Rosendale, Wis, as chairman
The address makes the following refer
ence to the worlds fair prizes offered by
the Holstein-Friesian association:
Public esteem and the merits of the
Holstein-Freisian breed demand that a
most creditable show or our cattle be
present at this great exposition. Realiz-
ing the Importance of a representative
exhibit of Holstein-Fresians at ST Louis,
lea has offered special prizes for exhibits
of its cattle, which together with the reg
ular prizes offered by the exposition, make
a sum to be competed for in amount never
before offered at any live stock show. 1t
viii be seen from the arrangement of
prizes offered that the large and the small
breeder have an equal chance of winning
something, and that it would be hardly
possible for any herd OF ordinary merit
to show at st. Louis and win nothing
Great things are expected of us, and the
Holstein-Freisian association appeals to
its breeders with an urgent request that
the display of cur cattle shall far surpass
any previous exhibition

How Our Own
American ESkimOS Hunt

! A whaling captain, who was forced
through the loss of his ship to spend
almost whole year with the Point
Barrow Eskimos of Alaska, has re-
! turned with interesting yarns of their
methods of capturing and killing the
Arctic game.
! at first" said he. Il thought that
they weren't good hunters. I saw
them hunt reindeer and, without either
trying to work to leeward of them or
to crawl toward them until they got
within gunshot, they started right for
! them. or course the reindeer ran, and
the Eskimos had to run after them,
firing at intervals Most of the deer
got away. l tried it myself afterward
and then ! found that the Eskimo
method only looked clumsy; in reality
il was the only way in which the
beasts could be hunted in that coun-
try. There isn't any cover and the
animals can see an approaching figure
so far away that there wouldn't be
much use in trying to get to wind
ward of them.
Then l found out that the Eskimos
are cunning hunters, all right. In
places where the reindeer had regular
trails they drove stakes in such ways
that the beasts would be diverted
gradually from their course and made
to pass over ground where they could
be shot with the least waste of time
or ammunition, and near enough TO
the villages, so that the hunters
wouldn't have too much of a distance
to carry the meat.
THE Eskimos prize the soft skin
of the young fawns highly for cloth
ing, but they do not waste precious
powder and shot on them. The
women and lads are sent out and they
actually run the little things down on
foot. It's hard to believe that a short,
ungraceful being like an Eskimo can
do it, but it's so.
They have great times there in the
summer when the flies begin to bite
the deer. Often reindeer is so mad
dened by the insects that it will rush
straight into the arms of the hunters.
The most interesting thing to me
was to see them hunt seal. They had
several methods but the best one was
carried on in the darkest nights only.
They wouldn't try it even in a bright
display of Northern Lights
The day before, the hunters would
scout around on the frozen sea for
a lead" that is, fairly wide crack
in the foe, showing the open black
water. AS soon as they found a prom
Using one, they would drag all their
nets, which are beautifully made of
sinew, to within about hundred yards
of one edge of the crack There they
cut holes, parallel to the lead, and in
to these holes the nets are lowered

that they hang quite straight in the
water, like curtains suspended in the
sea.
las soon as darkness has settled, the
hunters assemble on the ice just be-
hind the nets. They are armed with
three queer implements besides their
harpoons and spears. These three OBJ
jects are a three-legged ivory stool,
an ivory rattle and an ivory scratch
er, with three sharp claws of bone.
The Eskimoes gravely climb on their
little stools, which are only a few
inches high, squat on their heels, drape
their seal skin garments over their legs
and feet, and begin to scratch the ice
gently with the scratchers. At inter
walls they cease scratching and work
their rattles softly
After a half hour or so. the value of
the funny little stools become appar-
ent to me, for 1 didn't have one; and
my feet, although protected by fur
boots, were nearly frozen from stand
ing on the ice. l was intensely CRATE
full when one of the hunters offered me
his stool.
The sight of so many of the grave
little men scratching and rafting like
children for the seals to come struck
me as ludicrous. l thought, of course,
it was being done simply out of saw
age superstition. But to my surprise
within three-quarters of an hour Ave
of the nets had caught one seal each.
Then | learned that the rafting and
the scratching were far from childish,
but were the results of thorough hunt
ing knowledge. The Point Barrow Eski-
mos had discovered generations ago
that the seal is intensely curious.
Knowing also that sounds made on ice
travel along distance under water, they
devised this way of attracting seal
from far away. The animals, lured on
and on by the mysterious sounds, will
swim straight toward them until they
run ahead first into the nets. the meshes
OF which are so constructed that they
choke the creatures.
The object in setting the net near
a lead or crack is to get as near to
the seal as possible; for the seal al
ways congregate near such breathing
spots"

How Did China
Degenerate?
Once It Was Far Ahead of the
Civilized World of Europe.

The more the history of China is in
vestigated the more certain it seems
to be that many of the inventions and
discoveries supposed to have first be-
come known in Europe were really
known centuries before to the Chinese.
The Chinese made use of these in
ventions and discoveries for a while;
then, as the life of the nation stagnat-
ed and all progress stopped, they were
allowed to become lost arts in the land
where they originated and We're forgot
ten until they were reintroduced from
the West.
Centuries before the people of Eu-
rope began to manufacture paper the
Chinese made it and used to write on
it. Sven Hadin, the explorer found
buried in the sands of Cobb Desert
ruined city, and in the city many man.
uscripts of paper covered with Chinese
script.
These pieces of paper were 1850 years
old. and very good paper it was.
According to the Chinese chronicles
paper was made in China 1000 years
before the Christian era, whereas it
first became known in Europe in the
ninth century, and its general use and
manufacture dates from comparatively
recent times.
Long before the Europeans began to
mine coal to use as fuel, the Chinese
were using it. Marco Polo, the Vene-
tia n traveller who Nicitad China in 1914
being then a young man of 81 was
much surprised to find the Chinese
burning Stones" as he expressed it.
He says in the story of his travels:
Through the whole province of
Cathay Chat is China) GER
tain black stones are dug out
of the mountains which, put
into the fire, burn like wood, and,
being kindled, preserve fire a long
time; and if they be kindled in the
evening they keep fire all night; and
many use these stones though they
have plenty of wood"
Recently there was celebrated at the
city of Amalfi, in Italy, the five hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of a
sailor named Gioja, who has been
commonly regarded as the inventor of
the mariners compass.
Though his claims to having invent
ed the compass have been discredited
it is certain that it was about his time
that the magnetic needle began to be
used by European sailors. and the in
vention became generally known. Yet
an ancient Chinese record speaks of
the compass as having been used by
one of the old emperors 1885 years be-
fore Christ, when the emperor, being
caught in fog, made himself an in
strument which told him which was
north and which was south.
When the interior of China is at last
opened to civilization and all the his
tory of the decrepit empire becomes
known, it may be found that many
other inventions. comforts and luxu-
ries which Europe and America en-
joy were old stories to the Chinese CEN
turtles before they became known to
the western world.
