Ardmorc, T. T, oct. 15.-Our New
York correspondents wired as today
as follows:
| The cotton trade was thrown into a
| further state OF oycitmcnt early this
morning by reports that another big
rain storm had swept over the cotton
belt over Sunday causing further very
serious and more extensive damage to
the crop.
Coming on last weeks frost scare
which also followed the cyclone and
the heavy rainstorm of the previous
week, with the trade in very nervous
condition from recent experiences who
had remained short and at the same
time they served an inducement TO the
enthusiastic bulls who sold out their
, cotton at the close of last week to
secure their profits to turn a.d get II
baCk. With Liverpool up &c points
on spots and 20 on futures, or the
equivalent of over three times as
much as was expected, there was a
very wild opening here. There was at
first great scramble to buy and
prices started with a rise OF 80 to So
points over Saturdays final bids on
the initial trading. with December
quoted at 11.30, January 1892 and
March l1.i5 the market was SO eX.
citing that prices ranged 5 points
apart on different sides of the ring
but enormous selling by big spot deal
crs and southern private wire houses
especially those with direct connection
with New Orleans and also the largest
local market interests rapidly filled
up the demand. Over 100000 bales
but after that the volume fell off as
the market rcceded. The maximum
reaction shortly after midday extend
ed to within 10 points of Saturday,
final bids. Then the market backed
and filled and continues in a very few
crish and sensational and uncertain
state throughout the late afternoon

were confined to Galveston and Hous

Local Market.

The local cotton market opened al
the top notch this morning and brought
the highest price of the season, Elev-
on cents was paid when the marko'
opened. This price was not maintain
ed for long, when it droprel 9 1875
cents, and his has been the prevail
ing price all day The receipts have
been small on account of the rain
which has been falling for the past
twcnty-fuur hours. However, quite =
deal of cotton was sold by farmers at
the eleven cent price This they held
in wagon yards here The rain is
the cause of the advance in price. L
was stated on the streets today that
the price before the rise was over
would reach bit pound. This
means money and prosperity to the
farmers and merchants are watching
for 1t anXiously.

To the coast section of the state, 3.22

inches, although few points in the
more northern portions averaged
more than inches.
This fact and the bcarish tone of

Louisiana and Mississippi by the Pic

eating little or no damage from the

estimates being too high, the cotton

Who Is the Owner?

The law of finding is not general
ly understood, but it was declared
many years ago, and it is well to
note the case and the decision. A
visitor to store found wallet con-
tanning a sum of money. He hand
ed the wallet, with its contents, to
the merchant to be returned to the
owner. After three years, the owner
having failed to appear, the finder
demanded the wallet and the money
from the merchant. The latter re-
fused to deliver them on the ground
that they were found on his prem
ises. The finder then sued the shop
keeper. 1t was decided that against
all the world but the owner the title
of the finder is perfect. The receiv-
er of an article found is only trus-
tee, first of the owner, then of the
finder if the owner does not appear.
The receiver has no right to keep an
article against the finder any more
than the finder has to keep it against
the owner.

One of the champion elms of
Maine stands in Hallowell. Its girth
is II feet 10 inches, and it has a
spread of top, measured at right an

elm has most magnificent and
symmetrical top, throwing out its
branches more than fifty feet in all
directions. Down in old York they
have some elms Of which they are
justly proud. One, known as the
Grant elm, has girth of ~ feet s

A Fish With Lungs.

There is one rare fish which can
boast of pair of lungs in addition
to the gills with which alone less
favored fish are endowed. The ne
cessity of these two sets of breath
ing apparatus is readily seen when
the habits of the animal are known.
In Africa, where the fish lives, it in
habits lakes and ponds, which are
often completely dried up during
the dry season. AS long as the wa
ter remains the lung fish lives as do
the other members of the fnny
tribe and breathes by means of his
gills, but when the ponds dry up
he burrows down into the mud and
makes round nest, where he lives
in a semitorpid condition, breath
ing by means Of his lungs until the
rainy season releases him again.

EARLY FLYING MACHINE.
Remarkable Invention by . Portuguese
Which Failed to Work,

In the London Evening Post,
dated Dec. 20 and %, 1909, is an
interesting description of flying
ship then lately invented by Portu-
gucSe priest. Unfortunately for the
glory of Portugal it did not fly, as
was expected, 200 miles in twenty
Jour hours or at all. In order that
the deeply scientific among our read
ers may understand the cause of its
failure we quote few extracts from
Its specifications. The ship was fit
ted, IN the first place, with sails
wherewith the air is to be divided"
1t had also two pairs of bellows,
which must be blown when there
is no wind" At opposite ends of
the hull were ''the globes of heaven
and earth, containing in them the
attractive virtues" These served
as covers to ''two loadstones placed
in them upon pedestals to draw the
ship after them"
We have not yet exhausted the
list of motive powers carried by this
remarkable invention. Over the
whole was "a cover made of iron
wire in form of net, on which are
fastened a good number of large
amber beads, which by a secret op-
Grafton will help to keep the ship
afoat, and by the suns heat Certain
mats) that line the ship will be
drawn toward the amber beads" 1t
is strange that flying ship fitted
with so many alternative appliances
should have failed to fly at all. Pos
sibly the amber beads tried to fly
one way, the globes another, the
wind and the bellows worked in yet
other directions, and thus stable
equilibrium resulted. London

THE RAINBOW.
Thought 20 Be Great Pump In Many
Countries

In many countries the rainbow is
spoken of as being a great bent
pump or siphon tube, drawing water
from the earth by mechanical means.
In parts of Russia, in the Don coun-
try and also in Moscow and vicinity
1t is known by a name which is
equivalent to ''the bent water pipe"
In nearly all Slavonic dialects it is
known by terms signifying ''the
cloud siphon," and in Hungary it is
"the pump" ''Noah's pump" and
Goods pump"
The Malayan natives call it by the
same name that they do their band
ed water cobra, only that they add
"boba" (meaning double headed,
the equivalent in our language be-
ing"the double headed water snake. .
They tell you that the bow is a real
thing of life, that it drinks with its
two mouths and that the water is
transferred to the clouds through
an opening in the upper side of the
center of the great arch.
In the province of Charkov, Rus
STA, the rainbow is said to drain the
wells, and to prevent this many are
provided with heavy, tight fitting
stone platforms.
In the province of Saratov the
bow is said to be under the control
of three angels, one of whom pumps
the water, the second "feeds" the
clouds and the third sends the rain.
Many improbable and impossible
things would happen if you could
only get in reach Of the bow.
The little Turk is told that if he
would have a silver head, with gold
teeth and ruby eyes, he has but to
touch the orange stripe.
In Greece they say that the per
son so unfortunate as to stumble
over the end of the bow will have
his or her sex Immediately changed

Many are the suggestions offered
as to resting, for, strange as it may
seem, few people understand the art
of resting properly. Thorough rest
does not necessarily mean lying
down or sitting. 1t means to relax
the entire system, the mind and
body. For tired brain physical ex-
ercise is the best remedy rather than
a resort to drugs. If a brisk walk
in the fresh air can be taken, 50
much the better A very good rem
edy for weary brain is to rise slow
ly on the toes (lifting the heels from
the fioor) until the muscles at the
calf of the leg ache and then to kick
vigorously few times. Repeat this
simple exercise several times and ex-
cellent results will follow.
