FRAUD ON A LONDON BANK.

Eight of the south eastern branches OF the
London and South Western Bank, have been
made the victims of fraud which resulted IN the
loss of 92 ,32O.1t appears that by the first post
on the 2Srd ult., the manager OF the branch
at Catford received q formal it1timation pur-
porting TO come from the Harlesden branch,
to the fleet that the sum of ESQ had been
transferred from a customer, whose name
was given. AS the form was of the usual
oficill character, and bore the code word OF
the bunk, which is altered each day, the no.
ti6catlon was accepted. md an account was
July opened. AT II O'Clock the SEINE morn
ing q well-dressed man drove up to the Cat
ford branch, and asked the clerk in charge
whether O certain account had been trans
ferred from Harlesden. On being informed
that such was the case, he went through the
usual form of putting his name III the sig
nature-book, and then said that he would
like to draw a cheque for $3.50, an as he
was going the same day to Windsor races,
he requested that he might have the money
in small notes and gold. Having obtained
a ehrque form, the supposed client, who 10
about 80 years Of age, made it payable to
himself, and signed I'D. Stanley. Wlndel."
No doubt seemed to have been entertained
by the bank (~f1icials as t. the genuineness

over in 20 and fl0 notes, with 600 in gold.
leaving Catford the visitor went to seven
other b.Nnches of tie bank, including those
at Folest-hlil, Streatham, BALKAN, and loot
ing, repeated the process, and obtained the
same sum of money in each case. When, on
the following day, the manager of the

THE HORSE CULTIVATOR FOR
COTTON.

The following article, which deals with
the use of the horse cuitlvutor in growing
cotton, has been contributed by Mr.. Thomas
Thornton, ARCS, late Travelling Inspec-
or in connexion with Cotton In estigations
under the Imperial Department of Agri-
culture
Since the re~-introducticn of Sea Island
cotton growing in the West Indies, there is
no point in relation to the cultivation of the
crop which has b, en- more constantly en-
phasized by the Imperial Department of
Agriculture than the necessity for adopting
the methods of garden cultivation if success
is to be attained. In this connection two
points must always be borne in mind ()
weeds must be kept down, and ~ a good
surface mulch OF soil must be maintained.
In @ place such as Barbados, where great
efforts have constantly been made to exter-
inmate weed growth, it is not such a diff
cult matter to keep the fields clean but in
other islands it is a more serious undertak-
ing.
The maintenance of a good surface mulch
ia still more difficult. To ensure this, the
surface soil has to be constantly stirred, which
is both a tedious and expensive operation
il carried out by the hand hoeing. 1t is,
however, an operation which 10 cotton plan
ter who hopes to be successful can afford TO
neglect.
The mechanical condition OF the loil is q

BE DEAD IN FLOOD
First Reports Of Casualties in
India Underestimate.

Hyderabad, India, Sept. sO.-It is
feared that pestilence will follow the
foods that have occurred in the Hy-
derabad and Deccan districts as a re-
suit of the unprecedented rainfall of
the past few weeks The waters have
subsidized and the country il strewn
with unburied bodies estimated to
number not less than one thousand.
Most of the corpses are those Of wo-
men and children. They are decom-
posing already and as it will be i'm
possible to get them under ground
promptly an outbreak Of illness is
feared. Many elephants are at pres
ent employed in removing the dead.
Later reports from the flooded dis
tricts point to much heavier mortal
ity than was at first supposed. The
rescuers, up to the present time have
only TOUCHED the edge of the DESC
lated area, but from the number Of
bodies already found it is feared that
the fatalities will total several thou
sand. One report places the death
list at 10000. The village of Ghouli-
goeda, which consisted of 1000 houses
on the bank of the river Must, has
been entirely engulfed in the mud

Madison, Wis, Sept. 29.-The SUI
pfeme court haa declared as unconsti-
tutional the Wisconsin eight-hour rail
road telegraphers' law, which was en-
acted at the 1907 session of the legis-
.latYre. The law is declared unconsti-
tuttohal on the theory that it is in
conflict with the provisions of the fed
eral Constitution, which clothes con-
|gress with the power to regulate inter-
state commerce, and, further, on the
theory that congress, having already
provided law fixing the hours of
railway telegraphers from nine to
thirteen hours, it was not within the
power Of the state to enact law
which would in effect change the hours
of labor.
In effect the decision is one Of the
most farreaching of the court, as it
practically prohibits the state from
enacting laws relating to the hours of
labor on interstate railroads as long
as there is federal statute in force.
