MAKING COLD LIGHT.
The sIOnopOIfstic Ffrehy Holds the
secret For the Scientists.


The MonopoIfstic Ffreny Holds the
secret For the Scientists.
In the Geld of light produced from
electricity It seems on the whole that
the next radical step in advance will
be in the way Of rendering gases in
candescent
The most fascinating. because the
most recondite. field is that variously
known as huorescence and phosphor
escence. This includes the means Of
producing light on which the dredies
and their tribe nave thus far held an
absolute monopoly and is the only
method apparently Of producing an
absolutely "cold light" Compared
with the other fields ia which progress
Is likely this one Is comparatively un-
explored The tendency 10 consider
electricity the essence Of energy and
even Of life itself has undoubtedly dt
verted much attention which would
otherwise have been given to other
fields of inquiry II oue-tenth Of the
scientists who are pushing forth into
the domains Of electricity would de-
vote their energies toward solving the
problem Of producing cold light by
the means which insects bse to pro
duce II we should perhaps obtain re-
suits winch would demonstrate that
light mary be commercially produced
without dissipating 90 per cent Of en-
ergy MS heat
The recent remarkable discoveries In
the general field OF radiation Of which
the Y rays first startled the world are
so far reaching In their possibilities
that It would be presumptuous TO make
any forecast Of their future develop
ment. They have already demonstrated,
however, that the conversion Of one
form Of vibratory energy into another
may be continuously brought about
without the aid Of external influences.
The continuous conversion of heat rays
into light rays without a material loss
of energy may therefore be looked upon
as q possibility which will be realized
sooner or later.
In conclusion 1t may be said that the
/ most probable improvement In electric
lighting in the near future will be the
use Of incandescent gas as the light
/ radiator.
/ 1t would not be more surprising thar
many other recent discoveries II q
method OF generating light entirely dit
| ferent from any now in use should h6
/ developed TO a commercial extent be
I fore the present generation has passed
away. The properties Of the element
radium thus far determined will fur
/ nish ample basis for one who is dis
/ posed to speculate on the light Of th'
future.-E. Leavenworth Elliott In Cen

that few OF the metropolitan journals

trading pos as old as Fort sin, and
the children who live there have
grown up attending the mission

AS result the waite children have
learned the Indian language, wear

put feathers in their hair They
shooi arrows as well as young bucks.
They are now attending their first

high regard for authority. refuse to be

the time in Comanche and continue to
run away TO the mission school, where

has resolved that educating an un-
broken white child in the Indian lang

the real Indian.

The Way to Get Immigrants.


II Congress is In earnest In the expressed
desire to have the right kind OF immigrants
to come TO our shores. let that body lake q
practical view OF the matter.
Everybody knows that the majority Of peo-
pie lose their heads. or get them full OF wheels
whenever an excursion comes In sight and
when q free pass Is TO be had, every mothers
son would run pell NELL to get the free ride.
Let Us then uppose that the Irishman, the
Sootohman, the German, or other foreigner
Is made OF the same kind Of clay Of which We
are formed, and that these people are as ready
to 60 crazy over a free pass as we are. This
being true, all that the American Congress,
or any Committee OF citizens has to do is TO
charter a big ship and advertise free passes to
America and II that boat is not sunk with
or had drawn In the gang plank.
To bring up a child TO manhood's estate 1t
has been estimated that the cost would aver.
erage about $1,000. II we can get full grown
men at no greater expense than an excursion
ticke 1t seems like folly to 20 on populating
the country In the old, but allow way. We live
In a fast age, and We can't wait for twenty
years, and spend s 1000, when the same object
can be obtained In q month, with no expense
other than a free trip across the ocean.
Long ago we travelled across the country In
stages and wagons. The malls came on slow
ox.teams, but now we have newer and swift
er and cheaper methods Of doing things. Old
fashioned people were said in former years to
carry their shelled corn TO mill in a bag on
horseback, the sack being bslanced by q rock
In the opposite end of the sack from the
corn.
II we walt for the natural increase, when we
can accomplish In q month by free passes
more than could be gained in twenty years at
great cost, isn't 1t foolish to balance our corn
sacks by rocks In the other end?

Big Cotton Crop.

The warehouse in Abbeville Is crowded
with cotton, and nearly all the available
space has been aken.
The people seem to have faith In the rise In
price, and when 1t Is below ten cents a great
per cent. OF the cotton Is stored.
From our Information we are inclined that
In this Vicinity the crop this year is larger
than in any year since the world began.
We all cried ont against the dry weather,
but the dry weather has matured the crop and
the fields are still white with the stable, al
though there are few farmers, If any at all,
than they did last year.
This editor, like q majority Of editors. knows
nearly everything about farming. Last year
he and bis tenants made about five bales on
the Norris Creek farm, which he sold In ad-
vance OF the gathering at nine cents, and not
gathering more than one.third OF what he
sold, had to buy the shortage on the streets
at 10 l-9 cents. This year Mr.. 3. M. Elem.
ing and his tenants or the same farm
had sold thirty.one bales some three weeks
ago. This, too, in the face OF the fact that MIR.
Fleming had never had any experience In
editing q newspaper. II he had had forty
years experience at the printing business we
have NO doubt that he would have gathered
by This time not less than sixty bales. But
despite his lack of experience at the printing
business, the good rains In the spriug and the
dry weather in the Fal! will enable him to
gather about forty.hve bales Of AZ q farm that
made about i've bales last year, not counting
two bales of"dog tail' that was gathered after
Christmas.
We mention the difference in the produc
tion Of this particular farm to show that the
favorable weather has enabled Mr.. Fleming
TO beat even an editor at farming. II MIR.
Fleming had been q printer for forty years
he might have made under the favorable
conditions of this year about a hundred
bales.
Speaking OF the increase Of crop, we believe
there is q general demand for greater ginning
Accommodations. While we have our doubts
about the necessity or advislbility ofstarting
a new ginnery, yet we are firmly convinced
that there Is q demand for an increase in to-
capacity Of the existing ginneries.
AS 1t Is possible that the oil mills OF the
country may find 1t TO their interest to do
more OF the ginning 1t might be well for
private individuals 10 be we'll advised before
putting up new %ginneries. The commission
which the oil mills pay for buying seed ia
nearly as much as the> cost Of ginning,
bagging and ties.
It Is possible that the little gins may not
md It profitable to gin at q reduced price
which reduced price may come. The fact is
that the price Is now so low that there Is but
little profit in the business.
