viii Buy Cotton From Uncle Sam.

Sakuri has just arrived from Japan in
the interests of the cotton merchants
of Japan, Speaking Of the trade OF
the United States with Japan, ne says
that in the next 10 years Japan Will
get over three-fourths of her cotton
from the United States. Last year
Japan used over 1000, 900 bales Of cot
ton and only o~ne-fOurth of that was
from the United States. The rest
came from the cotton fields of India
and Asia. This cotton is very inferior
to that which comes to Japan from
the southern states, and all the fine
work is made with cotton from the
United States. The other is found to
be much coarser and rots easier"

turn the phenomena Of oxidation in the
right direction. But we have seen that
the. hypertonic sea water alone may
cause the unfertilized egg to reach a
pluteus stage without a membrane for
nation. 1t is obvious that the hyper
tonic sea water must be able, If allowed
to act long enough, to accomplish both
results, e. g., start or accelerate the
oxidative processes underlying develop
ment as well as lead to the formation of
products (of oxidaton) which turn these
oxidations into the right direction.
The fact that hypertonic sea water is
able to start the process of development
in the unfertilized eggs of so many diff
ferent forms (Echinoderms, Annelids
(Ophelia), Molluscs (Lottia and others)
and even the frog finds its possible ex-
PLANTATION also through the fact that the
hypertonic sea water only acts In the
presence of oxygen. The process underly-
Ing development is, as my previous exper-
iments show, an oxidative process and this
process can be started by the spermatozoa
as well as by hypertonic sea water or the
process of artificial membrane formation
The latter process alone does not suff1ce
for the egg of the sea-urchin since it
transforms this egg into an anaerobe,
while the treatment with hyptertonic sea
water turns the oxidative processes again
into the right directions.
'If we finally raise the question how II
is possible that loss of water on the part
of the egg can influence its oxfdations COR
other chemical reactions) we can only
point out the fact that loss of water
must alter the chemical equilibrium In the
egg. This might be possible by altering
unequally the degree of dissociation of
different electrolytes, and in altering in
connection with this the concentration of
HO and H ions, or by altering the CO.
efficient of distribution of different sub
stances, etc.

CoNFERs ON FARE MEASURE.
Mayor Fayors Scent Rate During
Certain Hours.

OcEtaln HOuEIs
City Attorney Burke yesterday held a
conference with Mayor Schmitz, at
which the proposed ordinance fixing the
rate OF fare TO be charged workin gmen
on the streetcars at cents between
the hours OF and a. m and between
and D. m. was considered. The
Mayor expressed himself as being in
hearty accord with the measure and
said he had no doubt that 1t would be
passed by the Board of Supervisors.
To that end the Mayor said that he
will request some Supervisor to intro
duce the ordinance either at the meet
ing of the board to be held tomorrow
night or Monday night of next week
Burke declared that the ordinance
was designed to bring the United Rail-
roads to realizing a sense OF it's obliga-
tions and duties as laid down in it's
the rough draft of the proposed ordi-
nance fixing the rate OF fare for strap
hangers" or standing passengers at 2
cents. At the Mayors suggestion this
ordinance will not be introduced for
passage until the matter OF the pro-
posed loop at the ferries has been de-
termined upon.
1t was the opinion OF the Mayor that
II the loop plan is adopted the over
crowding of the cars would be done
away with IN a large measure and the
strap hanger" would become a thing
OF the past. Cars would be run more
speedily and In that event the necessity
of 2-cent fare for standing passen-
gers would disappear.
