THE DEAD SEA.

OIate Waste.

work of the Salt Divers In This Des-
oIate Waste.
The awful desolation of the Dead
sea. which lies nearly 1900 feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, is pro-
ken here and there by the salt divers
whose work is probably as ancient as
the human race itself.
From remotest antiquity the salt OF
tba Dead sea has been collected and
taken to the Jerusalem market, Where
it is used for curing hides and for DO
nestle purposes. Dead sea water con-
tains over % per cent of solid sub
stances, of which per cent is chiorloe
of sodium, or common salt.
The Dead sea contains no living crea-
ture. Sea fish put into its waters speed
ilv die. Not a single boat navigates its
strange waters, nor is there any sign
.of life. save the isolated parties of salt
divers, who scrape and slowly amass
their glistening heaps of crystal near
the mouth of the Jordan.
When sufficient cargo is made
ready a long string of camels crosses
the desert and the salt is loaded up
into panniers, or "shwerries, and TAX
en- into Jerusalem where it finds q
ready market.
Salt, as is we'll known, has been used
as currency from time immemorial'
inst as bricks of tea are used today in
central Asia, especially in the border
land of China and Siberia.-Technical

THE STANDARD YARD.
That In Use In Great Britain and the
United States.

The yard is the British and American
original standard of Britain, from
which ours was copied, was a rod,
which had been deposited in the court
of exchequer, London, in the time of
Queen Elizabeth. In those days all
measures intended for general use
were taken to the court of eXchequer
to be examined by the proper officer
That official took the proposed meas
ure and placed it parallel with the
standard and if found correct placed
certain marks of Identification upon it.
BY an act of parliament in 1921 the
old Eliza bethan standard was super
seeded by another, which had been con
stfucted under the directions of the
ROYAL society sixty-four years preyi-
Gus. This act provided that the
straight line of distance between the
centers OF two points in the gold studs
il. the brass rod now In the custody Of
the clerk of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard of the
ward measure in Great Britain The
act further provided that the measure
ments of the rod must be made when
the temperature of the brass was at G2
degrees f.
The standard was destroyed by fire
in 1884. and the commission appointed
to replace it made the yard measure
now in use. The new standard was de-
posited in the house of parliament in
1855, and authenticated copies of 1t
are in the possession of our govern
ment officials at Washington.

Cotton Letter.

Americus, Ga. March 20.-Port re-
ceipts for today are officially estimated
at 90, 600 bales, against 81 ,059 last year
Houston receipts for tomorrow are es-
timatad at 900 to 5000 bales against
4, O98 last week, 5, 1873 last year. The
market waited practically all day until
the buaeau report. This, when it first
appeared, was construed as bearikh
Considering the average weight of
bales, including linters, we do not re-
gard the report at all bearish and we
expect Liverpool to take bullish view.
At the moment the situation is COM
paratively a simple one. The bear
party can at any time depress the con-
gract market, but spots keep firm. Fu-
lures are at discount and are in
strong hands. Any reasonable decline
from these figures will bring compare
lively few future contracts on the mar
ket, as they are in hands of people who
have them we'll protected. Commission
houses sold on balance and what little
long interest there has been in the old
crop months get daily smaller The
new crop ls heavily oversold We re-
main firm in the bull faith. Liverpool
