GREAT VAN ANBURG SHOWS.
Waterproof Tents-Raln Will Not Spoil
the Exhibition.

An advance notice says:
A sudden downpour of rain or a
long continued drizzle will have no
effect on the patrons OF the great
Van Amburg Shows when it ex-
hibits here. The reason of this
will be apparent to everyone who
sees the huge tents that will be
erected here for the performance.
They are all constructed of "mer-
cerized" ducking. This marvel
Gus invention for the interpreting
Of material has been in Use for rain
coats, but up to this year has never
been used for tents. People who
have used 'mercerized" cloth
know how il sheds water, and it
was the knowledge of this that
caused the Van Amburg Shows to
have all their tents made out of
this material. 1t is quite a stride
in advance of other shows, but il is
only in keeping with the progress
sive management of these shows.
Beneath these tents spectators can
sit in comfort and ease during the
heaviest of rains and be as dry as
if in the finest theater in the coun-
try. This is only one of the many
novelties that have been added to
these shows this season. 1t is re-
spectfully suggested that the chill
dren attend the afternoon exhibit
ton, where ample time is given to
view the large menagerie, likewise
avoiding the night crowds. Uni
formed ushers will attend every
want of the little folks, and the
care and attention paid to ladies
and children is the first considera-
ton of the management.
The last big circus that will
visit here this year is the great
Van Amburg Shows, and the date
q Wednesday November 81.

SCIENTISTS GONE TO MEETINGS.
One Party for Baton Rouge and Prof.
Bennett for Jacksonville.

College Station, Tex, Nov. 49,
A group of Agricultural and Mech
anical College men have gone to
Baton Rouge, La, to attend the
annual meeting of the American
Association of Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations. The
party was composed of President
II. II. Harrington, Prof. J. w.
Carson, acting director of the
Texas experiment stations, and
Prot. A. +. Conrad, State Ento.
mologist. This party left yester-
day afternoon by way of Houston
and New Orleans, and Prof. l.. J.
Kyle of the Department of Horti-
culture, left this afternoon to join
them.
The meeting promises TO be a
great gathering of scientists and
investigators. The members of the
college here counted it a great OPP
portunity to attend a meeting OF
the association with a small outlay
of time and money, as most of the
meetings are held in other sections
of the country.
Prof. X. l.. Bennett will leave
Saturday to attend another impor-
taut gatherings meeting of the
Agricultural Commissioners OF the
Southern States at Jacksonville,
Fla. Texas has no Agricultural
Commission. 50 Prof. Bennett has
been asked to be present and de-
liver an address on cotton breed
ing. Prof. Bennett is joint cotton
expert of the Uuited States De-
partment of Agriculture and the
State Experiment Station, and his
work on cotton breeding here dur
ing the last two or three years has
attracted very general attention
over the country. 1t is an aston
ishing fact that although cotton is
the South's great staple crop, no
systematic work had ever been
done to improve the seed by selec-
ton or breeding. Prof. Bennett
has begun the work and is develop
ing variety of cotton that natures
early, fruits rapidly, has big bolls
md long lint, and sheds its foliage
n August, thus giving opportuni-
