Louisiana and Mississippi.

New Orleans, August 5-Reports from
Picayune correspondents in the cotton
belt of Louisiana and Mississippi on
weather and crop conditions for the week
ending Saturday. August 4. are optimistic
With but few exceptions they report that
almost ideal sunshiny weather has pre-
vailed, the cotton bols maturing nor
mally. The heavy rains of the preceding
two weeks proved to have caused no
material damage, though some sections
still complain of slight scale blight and
rust. With favorable weather conditions
permitting the proper working of the
fields, the finishing touches have now
been put on. A number of the sections
report open bolls.
Picking is expected to become general
in the Mississippi delta and some por-
tons of Louisiana in about fifteen days
The yield promises to be considerably in
advance of the average date with the
promise in some localities of the gov
eminent report of SO per cent general
average being exceeded
Sufficient moisture prevailed during the
week to assist in the proper develop
ment of the plant.

Wealth From a Wreck.
From London Tit-Bits.

From London Tit-Bits.
The most astonishing of wreck ro-
mances is without doubt that of the Pen
insular and Oriental steamer Australia,
Just two years ago this splendid ship,
which cost over G5O0.000 to build. went
ashore at the mouth of Port Philip Bay,
near Melbourne They tried hard to get
her off. but all in vain; so the wreck
was put up to auction and knocked down
to a Melbourne draper-Mr. Alkman-for
the absurd sum of $3.50 He also pur-
chased the cargo left aboard for another
eco
He lost no time in getting divers to
work, and the first thing that he els
covered was a quantity of valuable cargo
in the after hold. which seemed to have
been entirely overlooked. There We're
hardware. plated goods, enameled dishes
and a set of band instruments, which lat
ter in themselves were worth what he
paid for the whole cargo.
Next there were discovered ten tons of
Muntz metal. This fetched ELS a ton. or
rather more than twice what Mr.. Altman
had paid for ship and cargo. Nine hum
bred tons of iron and steel were next re-
covered and sold for 91O a ton. After
that came over two hundred tons of
brass, nearly 1000 tons of scrap iron and
a lot of odds and ends of all descriptions
enough to fill a column of this paper If
fully described.
Suffice 1t to say. that the purchaser of
the wrecked Australia realized something
approaching G1S0.0OO from his fortunate
investment.

Excessive Rains Causes DAMAGE.

Atlanta, August 5.-Reports to the Con-
stituton on the condition of the cotton
crop from the southeastern states, are
far from favorable, continued excessive
rains in most all sections reporting caus-
ing a deterioration in the crop. In all
portions of Georgia except the south
western sections, where there has been
lack of moisture, the rains have con-
tinued and the condition of the crop is
worse than 1t was a week ago In North
Carolina the condition is said to be the
most unfavorable ever known in that
state.
If the weather is favorable for the
next six weeks a good deal of the cotton
will come out. but if August is dry and
hot much damage will be done,
In South Carolina heavy rains during
the week have caused considerable dam

estimated. Destructive hail storms oc-

Silt Marks on China.

From Country Life in America.
Hunting for silt marks on old china
Is often good fun in itself. Almost every
old piece OF fiatware--i.e.. plates, plat
tiers, saucers, etc.-shows three little
rough spots, more or less clearly marked
on both sides, usually in the margin.
These spots were made in the firing,
by the cockspur of stilts-little tripods
used between the plates in pllng them
UP In the kiln The three points where
the cockspur touched the plate caused
defect in the glaze.
Unfortunately, silt marks are not as
sure guarantee OF authenticity as some
collectors have supposed. for they are
not only easy to initiate. but they are
sometimes imperceptible on the old Stat
Yorkshire. Furthermore. they appear
very frequently on modern tableware of
the cheaper sort. and so are no sign of
antiquity.
