at his hands. when the news OF the
disaster reached Tanis Meneptah's an.
ger and grief knew no bounds.
After Rameses had been Inferred at
Thebes beside his fathers and the court
had returned to Memphis the king
summoned Masanath, the sole repre-
sentative Of the family Of Har-hat, to
give reason why she should not be &C.
cused Of completely In the treason Of
her father.
Meneptah had taken counsel with
none ON this step. Perhaps he had an
inkling that II would be unpopular;
perhaps he thought he was but fulfill

forting his family, who mourned over
Bettis. and most Of the other ministers
were scattered over Egypt lamenting
their own dead. and few expected the
ungallant act Of the king.
But ono day when all the court had
reassembled Masanath came into the
great council chamber. Alone and
dressed In mourning, she seemed 30
little and defenseless that Meneptah
stirred uncomfortably In his throue.
Slowly she approached the dais and
fell on her knees before the king. The

MORE OIL FROM COTTON SEED,
New Method Of Extraction VIII In
crease Yield

crease Yield.
Columbia, Sept. 6.-The rapid prog
ress made by cotton seed oil in es-
tablishing itself in the markets of the
world as food product has removed
from the market a great volume OF
this oil that was heretofore used for
soap on account Of its low price. Con-
siderable more oil could be extracted
from the seed If suitable solvent
were used to remove the last traces
of oil which are now left in the cot
ton seed meal and which it is impos-
sible to remove by the methods adopt
ed for the manufacture Of an edible
oil. A recent discovery has been
made by chemists which will do away
with carbon bisulphide for extracting
the oil from the meal. The bisulphide
renders the oil unfit for edible use
and is extremely combustible. For
this reason only one or two such
plants have been established. The
new process contemplates the use OF
carbon tetrachloride. which is a bet
ter solvent and is non-inflammable
If all Of the cotton seed meal were
treated with this solvent it would in
crease the yield of cotton seed oil
about Is ner cent. and not affect the
value Of the meal as food for cattle.
The advance made by the oil mills
in economic manufature has been
very great in the past We years, but
it is something along this line that is
needed to bring about the maximum
production of oil from these seed. 1t
has not yet been demonstrated wheth-
er the oil extracted. by tetrachloride
will be suitable for edible purposes,
but this oil would at least be used by
the soap makers to take the place of
the better grades of oil which they
have been using in the past.
Cotton seed oil is now recognized the
world over as one of the staple oils
for human consumption and the
world took during the past season ev-
cry gallon Of oil that was manufac-
tured and there is now no stock of
oil with which to supply immediate
demands, the result being high prices

coast Masanath grew stronger aud be-

naming fourteen years Of Meneptah's
reign practically ruled over Egypt.
Vastly different, however, was his
favOritism from the favOritism of Har.

OF the young adviser Egypt recovered
something OF her former glory lost In
the dreadful plague ridden days pre-
