BuH


New Orleans, La; August 4.-Ten
million dollars is the amount which
the leaders of the bull movement in
the local cotton market are reported
to have cleaned up on the recent rise
in the fleecy staple. Those who are
said to have each gained a fortune
are G. p. Ellis, w. p. Brown, who
has gained many another fortune in
the last ten years, and r. B. Hayne.
1t is said that c. p. Ellis has been
particularly fortunate in his opera
tons, and that his gains OF the sea-
son are not far from the million dol
lar mark. The three big leaders OF
the bulls have had a great following
in the last thirty days, and 1t is said
that about forty of them have placed
from $4,000 to $4,000 on the
good side of their ledgers. n. & b.
Beer have also been consistently
bullish.

these two varieties existed. black and
green were made indifferently from
both.
The tea flower Is small. single, white
and has no smell. The seeds are three
small nuts. like flberts, and have an
oilv and bitter taste. The lea res only
are used. Only the young leaves are
gathered. and the younger and tenderer
they are the better. They are collect

considerable time. Nitrogen boride,
which has a remarkable resistance to
heat and chemical attack, was found to
act on Photographic paper after the very
long exposure Of one or two years, and
the effect was exerted not only through
Photographic black paper, but through
other opaque materials, like leather
rubber and opaque glass. The radiation
is absorbed, however, by very thin
leaves Of metal. The electricity OF
fla mes, rsdium rays, the electric spark
and friction all excite this kind Of
radiations, but the x-rays have no effect.
Tested with an electrometer, no sign of
radio-activity was shown. An electro
scope, however, proved that electrified
articles we're emitted by nitrogen boride,
and it was concluded that the radiation
differs from radio-activity in being more
completely due to electricity. Expert
ments with other substances indicate
that "electro-activity" is peculiar to
compounds containing nitrogen, uranium
nitride being most energetic in its
effects
A novel French pavement consists of
blocks made by filling molds, with
matted iron shavings, or iron excelsior,
and then pouring in cement sufficiently
fluid to penetrate the entire mass. The
blocks have great strength, resistance to
abrasion, and elasticity under blows or
jarring Tests have shown resistance
to compression of 10000 pounds per
square inch, and strength four times
as great as that of ordinary cement. II
is claimed that joints may be almost
eliminated in this pavng-an important
advantage, as this takes away the parts
of greatest wear and destruction.
The effect of buildings in lessening
wind force is shown by Berlin records.
In 1884 an thermometer was placed on a
tower in the open country at height of
about los feet, and in 1908 this was
surrounded by buildings about rs feet
high. The mean velocity of the wind,
as shown bv the instrument was reduced
from about l8 feet per second in the
five-year period of 1884-SS to II feet in
1899 1908.
