Queer Bits of Science

Meteorologists are Interested in Sc
curing observations at high attitudes
by means Of kites and lately at the
aeronautical observatory at Linden
p'lrg, Prussia. a record for height was
made, kite being sent up to an alti-
tude of 2l.1O0 feet. This was accom-
pi1shed by sending up six kites at
tached to each other by the use of a
length of wire line approximating 49,
o0o feet in length. The instruments
carried by the kite recorded a minimum
temperature of Is degrees Fahrenheit,
as compared with Al degrees Fahren-
nett at the earth'S surface. At the
maximum altitude the wind blew at q
rate OF hfty-six miles an hour, as COM
pared with eighteen miles an hour at
the surface. The maximum altitude
exceeds by nearly-1.1OO feet the previ-
Gus record made in the Baltic sea by

has been adopted by the city Of Middle

meet grief unless they shun that city
during the coming summer. The de-
vice was adopted upon the recon-
mendaticn of the new mayor, Professor
Fisher Of Wesleyan University. When
Glencoe adopted the system, it was re-
garded as a freakish idea of the wild
aud woolly West, but now that con-
servativc old New England city has
followed Glencoe's example, the

The final canvass of the Southern
"ginneries" by the United States cen
sus bureau shows that the total cotton
production of 1905 was 10.697,013 bales
The estimate given by the agricultural
department when the crop was oehe
harvested was 10 1888 bales. the
production in 1904 was 13,697,S10 bales
and i'm 1908 was 1O.O15,721 bales. Last
year, while the crop was being raised
the southern planters declared that the
crop would not exceed 9.500.00O. anu
on the strength of this the Southern
Cotton Association attempted tc force
I'm the prices. The actual result, now
ever. shows over a million bales above
what they estimated. Moreover. there
comes a large surplus from the enor-
nous crop of 1904.
In connection with these figures. as
to our American cottoE production. 1t
is interesting to note the proceed
ines of the recent International Cotton
Congress at Manchester. Eng. at whose
sessions an organized movement was
started for the extension of cotton cul-
t,vation in European countries. 1t Was
the feeling at this congress that within
a few years the United States will be un-
able to produce more than enough raw
cotton to supply the increasing require
ments of American mills. OF course
the world depends largely upon our
southern states for its supply Of cotton.
but the demand is increasing faster
than the supply. In the 20 years, from
of cotton increased 140 per cent, and
the consumption went up at an equal
rate, but i'm Europe and the Old World
the increasing demand for
cotton has been even greater and the
supply has by no means increased in
the same ratio. 1t is estimated that
last years cotton crop throughout the
world was less than 100000 bales.
and of this nearly 100000 bales We're
raised in his country. 1t is quickly
seen how dependent the Old World is
upon our American cotton fields. 1t is
this realization which is leading Eng
land, Germany, France and other coun-
tries TO encourage the production of
cotton in their colonies in Asia and
Africa, and the problem is one with
which their very best agricultural
experts are now called upon to deal.
