There has just ended at Fort

dence. Nearly four years ago a hy-
bird negro asked a ride in the wagon
OF an honest German farmer named
Swaokhammer, the latter having
been TO Arlington TO dispose Of some
cotton. The negro. who had been
picking cotton for Swackhammer,
knew he had all or part Of the mon

he deliberately murdered the farm

SEEN WITH EYE or FISH.

tsres.ingly Described by Uni
versity Professor.

That "A ish In an aquarium
has an entirely different view Of
the external world than we
whose vision il unhindered by
glass or water is "A thought that
perhaps has come to but few.
One Of these few, states the Bal.
timore American, is Prof. Robert
W. Wood. Of Johns Hopkins. uni,
yersity. who has succeeded in
obtaining photographs Of Mount
Vernon place and view looking
west down Monument and north
and south down Eutaw streets,
as they would appear TO a fish
submerged near those localities.
As il well known, an eye below
the surface 81 the water sees the
sky compressed into compare
lively small circle Of light. the
center Of which il always imme-
diately above the observer. the
appearances being as IL the pond
were covered with an opaque
roof with a circular window cut
in IL. The objects surrounding
the pond. such IA trees. houses
or people. must appear around
the rim Of the circle Of light. bur
the human being il unable 70 get
a clear notion Of their appear
ance. since his eyes are not
adapted to distinct vision under
water.
Reasoning from this fact, il
occurred To Mr.. Wood that a
very good notion ~ how these
things appear 10 the fish would
b. obtained by immersing a ca
mera in water and photograph
ing the circle Of light. His ap-
paratus was constructed out Of
a lard pail. a short focus lens
provided with u very small dia-
phragm being cemented over a
hole perforated in metal disk
which rested on a rim soldered
around the inside Of the pail.
The plate was placed on the bot
tom of the pail and the whole
filled with clean water in a dark
room. The lens was covered by
"A metal cap. operated by han
die on the outside of the pail.
The apparatus was set on the
| ground and surface Of the water
covered with sheet of glass "a
prevent ripples. the pail being 80
full that the glass was in con
tact with the water. This ar
rangement Obviated the neces
si;y Of immersing the affair in a
pond. since the function OF the
latter was performed by the wa
ter in the pail above the lens.

growing region must necessarily be
based upon the ability of the farm
ers TO produce cotton cheaper than
any competitive region. Abnormal
prices due 10 scarcity will neccssar-
ily stimulate production elsewhere,
but 50 long as the South can pro-
ducc cotton better and cheaper than
other countries. il will enjoy a mo-
nopoly Of the industry.
II l. plain that the higher the
price the less the demand will be.
The millions Of the Far East can
never become large purchases Of the
staple 80 long as prices remain be-
yond their means. We must remem-
/ her that the masses Of cotton con-
sumcrs in the Old World have no
such earning capacity as our people
Lave here.
We DO not for a moment contend
that the present level Of prices af-
lords producers greater profits than
they are entitled to. but il is certain
that present prices tend 10 restrict
the demand for cotton.
While dcyoting their efforts to bet
ter facilities for handling and mar
kcting the cotton. producers would
DO well to pay due attention to the
importance Of greatly increasing
their WELD per acre and reducing
the cost Of production. In this way.
the present level Of profits NAV be

should fall to eight Of nine cents a
