The Wireless.

Wireless teiegraphy Is fast coming to be commercial success" said Captain Henry, the distinguished electrical expert, who is in Birmingham this week demon strating the wonderful possibilities of new discoveries in the wireless system
 "The transatlantic wireless service is soon to be an established business. It will be we'll patronlzed, but the cable will still have all the business it can handle. As the world advances traffic in every line of endeavor increases. Years ago, when 1abor-saving machinery was brought into use, cry went up that It would displace all the wage-earners. But the demand for labor has been greater this year than ever before.
 When gas was intrdouced 1t was thought that candles would no longer be used. But candles were manufactured and sold in larger quantities. Then came the electric light. Some thought that gas would go out of business. But the fact is, candles, oil lamps and gas are more generally used now than In years past.
 Tt will be the same way with teleg- raphy. The wireless system Will have all the business that it's promoters can take care of, and so will the cable companies

EXTENT OF FUR MARKET

secret of this dressing lies partially in out soiling the fur, which Is of great importance in the case of ermine, white fox and polar bear furs. Many dressers finish the furs with poor fat instead of butter. or do not properly remove the unpleasant odor, as they do not treat the skins with mahogany shavings
 Germany takes the foremost place in the coloring of all sheepskins, which is attributed to the composition of the Ger man river water and to the properties of the German clay. There are sent an- nually to the sales at Leipzig and Nijni- Novgorod 100000 English foxskins, 5O0,- GOO German fox-skins. 100000 Russian fox skins. 90.00o American red foxskins and over 5000 Alaskan foxslxns of all sorts.
 A history of furs could not be written without reminding one of many stirring events in the worlds history. Furs are mentioned in the earliest times The Ve- netians had their fur robes and so did the Byzantines. Ermine became a royal fur by decree of Edward III of England, who also regulated the wearing of furs by his subjects. He decreed that mo per- son whose income did not amount to alOo year should wear furs under penalty of forfeiting them''
 The manufacturing of pelt. ne of the most ancient industries ct few wearers of furs consider the difficulties and dangers attendant upon securing them by sea and by land, on snowshoes and under the equatorial sun.

COTTON IN INDIA.
From the Washington Herald.

IOiu lHo " dSHluB ton Herald.
 The story of how cotton was discov- cred in India some years ago is a rather remarkable one. According to the Cotton Age, two gentlemen were driving out to other his guest. On either side of the road was a hedge It was getting dark. but the guest noticed some white stun on the top of the hedges all the way along and, at length, told his friend that he thought it looked like cotton. His friend ordered the native driver to stop, and the two men got down and ex- amined The guest was right; it was cot ton of an extraordinary strong staple. Both men were cotton experts, and yet the host. who had driven along the same road for years, had always passed the cotton without recognizing 1t. The guest
 immediately proceeded to buy up these hedges, for except them there were no cotton plants anywhere that he had seen during a twelve years residence in India. During his Investigations he discovered that the natives often had one or two cotton trees In their gardens, and the English club compounds possessed three or four in different parts of India, but nowhere. except in Bombay and the sur- rounding district. did he see cotton grow in such luxuriate abundance. The man bought up every plant and tree he could, and soon the cotton exports from India became a matter of vast importance.

From the Boston Globe.
 S OW that the hunting season Is 11 at hand the< usual opinion will be heard probably in many quar- ters that the fur bearing animals of the. United States are becoming extinct be- cause they cannot be captured. Poor marksmen going to wrong places for game may meet with many disappoint- ments, yet 1t is encouraging to hear from good authorities that the fur trade of America Is larger today than ever before.
 Curiously enough little is heard or writ ten concerning the fur trade, in spite of the fact that millions of individuals interested in 1t, directly or indi- rectly The men folk must pay for rurs because they are luxury which the other sex delight in possessing. Used in many localities in the world as necessity. furs have also always been worn by the fashionable and wealthy in all lands.
 Furs were never more plenty. Tn the United States 1t Is true that the buffalo no longer comes into consideration as a fur-bearing animal, and the beaver is also nearly extinct in most countries. The sea otter. which formerly furnished 100, 900 furs annually, yields not 400 at the high est, and the seal also seems to be rarer. as the number of sealskins has decreased from 100000 to 10000 yearly, but. says have taken the place of these, and the dimensions of the American fur trade are at present greater than they have ever been.
 It Is claimed that more money Is now earned on skunk, muskrat and fox furs than ever was earned on beavers, sea otters, seals and other rare furs. The depots in the United States and Canada send the largest part of the furs they receive to the three famous fur markets of the world-London, Leipzig and Mimi Novgorod. The buying is done by expert fur brokers
 London Is still the great fur auction mart of the world, an average of s5oOO, ,OOO worth of raw furs being disposed of there annually The principal sale in Mimi Novgorod, Russia, takes place in August There all the Asiatic furs, such as Persian lambs and Astrakhans, Mongolian goat skin and Siberian sables, ermine and rare squirrel furs are sold
 The Leipzig market is held at the great fur "Messe' at Easter time. To it come buyers and sellers from North and South America, Persia, China, Siberia, Japan. Thibet and England. The "Messe" lasts two weeks and is an interesting relic of medieval times.
 Germany, which furnishes no fur-bear- ing animals. plays a very important part in the fur trade. This is explained by Vice Consul Burrell, who says 1t is due to the coloring and dressing of the furs. Whole towns and cities are engaged in the preparation of the raw skins. Aus tria and Russia produce the best squir- rel skins for lining, but they must all be sent to Germany to be dressed. The

Virginia Cities.

Most of the counties in Virginia and all but a half dozen cities are dry !" said T. H. Gordon of Norfolk.
 There is no chance of Norfolk or Richmond ever being won over to pro- hibitlon, notwithstanding the wave that is sweeping the south. According to the constitution of Virginia all Incorporated cities are separated entirely from the counties by which they are bounded. Neither Richmond nor Norfolk, therefore, Is situated in a county. z.-sAs- .>-s . to the,asaloas -nAver go dry. The test was made in Richmond just 20 years ago, when it's population was only about 65,- GOO, and the vets won by a large major ity. Richmonds population now, accord ing to a recent local count, is 117,00O"

 For the past three years my salary has been at the rate of $50 month. have saved in that period a little less than $10O d year. My family is larger by one, but that has added little to my ex- penses I attribute the difference in saving between now and years ago to two things high cost of living and the tendency to extravaganza when money Is plentiful.

New Orleans Times Democrat: Southern prohibitionists have scored another suc- cess by swinging Birmingham, one or the principal cities of Alabama, into the dry column. The election, held yester- day. was bitterly contested, and the anti saloon forces adopted the tactics which turned the scale in Knoxville and other large towns that have been swept by the wave. Women and children paraded the streets singing hymns and making a sen timental appeal that the average voter found it difficult to resist The hardest blow to the liquor interests was the "dry" victory in Ensley, the industrial suburb. where the liquor men confidently expect ed to offset the adverse vote in the tenn peranee precincts
 Birmingham has derived considera ble portion of it's revenues from a license tax on saloons, and the Mayor, who is an avowed advocate of license, expresses some concern lest the radical change se- siously cripples the municipal finances. He has therefore appealed to the prohi- bitonists and saloonists to get together on some arrangement that will conserve the revenues. until means may be found 10 make good the loss
 A victory for prohibition in Birmingham would have been thought impossible short time ago. The license system seemed entrenched there past all dis Judgment The fact that the saloon men have been driven from stronghold shows that the prohibitory movement has be- come power to be reekoned with throughout the south. Where it appears hopeless today. it finds q way of winning the battle tomorrow. Whether the anti saloon sentiment be enduring or tran slent is a question the future must solve. The answer will depend largely upon the strict UT lax enforcement of the prohibi- tory laws. Meanwhile 1t is worthy of note that next to the appeal of the women and children one of the strongest arsu- ments of the aati-saloonists consisted in published descriptions and photographs of the negro dives permitted to flourish under license. The necessity of keeping the vile decoctions nlasquerading as whisky from the negro. as a measure of protection to society. has had not little to do with the prohibition successes. For their undoing the liquor men must in most cases blame their own abuses ot privilege and the saloonists In wet cities will be wise if they take note of this fact and assist in driving out of existence the black and white doggeries which are a constant menace to the public peace.
