Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cot
ton gin, got the germ of his great idea
from seeing, through the interstices of
a hut, an old Negro work a handsaw
among the freshly-picked cotton
stored within. The teeth of the saw
tore the lint from the seed easily and
quickly, and young Whitney Che was
barely 10 at the time), realized at
once that a machine working a num-
Der of similar saws simultaneously
would revolutionizc the cotton-growing
industry.

May Have to Borrow Soon.

1t is believed that the governor
will soon be called on to borrow the
sum Of 100000, which was author
lied by the last legislature. The
financial situation in the State
treasury is about what was to be ex-
pected. Now that the tax collectors
have made their annual settlements,
the situation at the treasury will be
one of paying out money instead of
taking it in. The regular monthly
expenses of the State government
will 90 on. The governor, treasurer
and auditor have been of the opin-
ion hat the money would probably
not have to be borrowed before June,
and it seems highly probable that
the State can rack on until this time
without having to replenish the
treasury with borrowed funds. At
any rate, it is not anticipated that
the money will have to be borrowed
before the last of May. In June
there is to be another distribution of
the common school fund, and the
officials do not want to have to drag
this distribution along until way in
the fall, as was done last year.

Effusion of blood to the brain and
disturbance of the digestive system
ere no doubt the chief causes OF sea-
sickness; and certainly those OF weak
digestion are particularly susceptible
to it. Then it is undeniabie that most
people on board ship eat too much and
take too little exercise. The overin-
diligence in the rich and sometimes
greasy dishes at the elaborate meals
on the big ocean liners-where even at
breakfast there are more courses than
most passengers are accustomed to at
dinner at home-is a bad preparation
for a severe attack of malde-mer.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

A report from Japanese sources says
that the Japanese now hold nine miles
of ground formerly occupied by the
Russian right.
A private dispatch received in st.
Petersburg from Manchuria says that
startling events may be expected
within the next two weeks"
Dispatches received from Gen. Kuro-
patkin in st. Petersburg are so rigidly
censored that little can be learned OF
actual occurrences at the front.
The already overtaxed Siberian rail
road is now to be called upon to trans
port supplies for the interior towns,
which are running alarmingfy short OF
provisions .
The engagement progressing in Man
churia involves nearly all of both
armies, and is described as a death
grapple, upon the result Of which may
hinge the ending of the war.
The force of Russians which captured
the bridge over the Shake river, near
the japanese center, was compelled to
retire after an all-night battle, in
which the losses were heavy on both
sides.
Reports from the seat of war in the
far east indicate that fighting is in
progress, with varying results along
the entire line. the Japanese, for the
most part, being the aggressors.
While encouraged by some of the re-
ports from the front. the military au-
thorities in st. Petersburg-or some OF
them-think that Gen. Kuropatkin may
be moving his trains and stores under
cover of his counter attacks, as it is
recognized that his left wing is in a
%precariOus situation.

The courage and valor for which the
Japanese are famous is instilled into
them from their earliest infancy, says
q Japanese writer. When a baby cries
his mother scOlds him, and says:
What a coward to cry for a trifling
pain; what will you do when your arm
is cut off in battle? What when you
are called upon to commit hara-kiri?"

The Siberian railroad. which is be-
ing worked to its full capacity by
purely military traffic, is about to have
a further burden imposed upon it,
namely that of feeding the resident
non-combatant population. The stocks
Of provisions in Irkutsk and other
towns in Siberia were not as large as
usual at the beginning of the winter,
and are now running low. The govern
ment has been informed that provi-
sions must be imported by the railroad,
or that the towns will be face to face
with famine within a fortnight. This
will necessitate some delay in the for
warding of military supplies, which are
sorely needed at the present moment.
