The processes of color photography
have recently been applied to obtain
legible photograph Of the writing
on burned manuscripts which were un-
readable by any other known means.
AS long as the sheet has not been en-
tirely disintegrated positive results
can be obtained every time.
The charred manuscript Is carefully
arranged, in as near its original shape
as possible, on a sheet Of glass, and
covered with drying varnish. after
which it is backed by another sheet
of glass.
By using carefully-selected color
screens and orthochromatic plates a
perfectly legible photograph Of tho
writing may be taken, although there
may be no marks on the charred re-
mains that are visible to the eye.
This is the only known method that
will give results when the writing
has been made with vegetable inks.
Ordinary photography can be used
successfully when the ink contains

The beneficence of the cotton plant
as an agent of civilization can hardly
be overestimated It's sudden develop
ment is almost unparalleled in the
history of economic products, and it's
enormous Importance today in the
agricultural, commercial and indus
trial life of the world renders it diff
cult to believe that scarcely more
than 200 years ago cotton was prac-
tically unknown to the civilized ma
lions of the west. The superiority of
raw cotton for the purposes of textile
manufacture consists in the fact that
the fiber of it's floss has natural
twist possessed by no other vegetable
fibers, which renders it peculiarly
adaptable for spinning and weaving.
Cotton and cotton wool, in medicine.
surgery and dentistry, have an ever
increasing number of applications.
Finally, goods manufactured out of
cotton are relatively cheap.
The usefulness of cotton does not
end with it's adaptability for spinning
and textile manufacture. Its seeds
furnish an oil which is edible and Of
industrial value. The stems and
leaves furnish an admirable fodder for
live stock. Indeed, there is no por-
ton of the plant that has not high
value. Human ingenuity has con-
stantly discovered new applications
of it's products, notably, the manufac
ture of gun cotton, highly explosive
substance, obtained by soaking cot
ton in nitric and sulphuric acids, and
then leaving it to dry. This sub
stance, when dissolved in mixture
of rectified ether and alcohol, yields
an adhesive liquid called collodion,
much used in surgery.

of America; in others it has been in
troduced because the soil and climate
were found to be particularly we'll
adopted to all the needs and require
ments of successful cultivation.
Mexico, Brazil and Peru are the
three republics in which cotton culti-
walton has the widest extension. In
Mexico the native cotton was found
along the eastern shore, but every
state in the republic can grow or is
actually growing cotton today. and
the annual yield would be very much
greater even than it is If other crops
did not prove at present more profit
able.
The same assertion may be made
in regard to Brazil. Every state has
its cotton fields, but only along the
Atlantic seaboard of the mid-troric
state is it cultivated sufficiently to
form a staple for export Almost
every state in Brazil also has cotton
mills, and these form very pros
porous industry in the country. One
third the entire Industrial capital of
the country, representing 100000, 900,
