amounted to 56,5O0 bales of 500 pounds each in 1906, 55,000 bales. and in 1910. 12S, 900 bales. While several varieties of cotton are grown in the country, the. cotton designated as rough Peruvian" is best known because of it's use for mixing with wool. There is great demand for this variety of cotton in all wool manufacturing countries, and es 2 pecially in England. Efforts have beer, made to grow this rough cotton in the United States, but without su-eesss | largely because of climatic conditfons which limit the growth of the plant to one year instead Of permitting it to de velop during a number of years, as in Peru.
 Production in Mexico
 Thte season of 1910 was more favor- able to the cultivation of cotton than any for several years past, and the pro duction amounted to 135,000 bales of 800 pounds each. More than three fourths of the crop is raised in the Laguna district, which includes portions of the states of Coahuila, Durango and Chihuahua, in which the production de- bends entirely upon irrigation. The fiber is of good length and strength. but is thinner, less silky and not so clean as that produced in the United States.
 Largest Crop in Turkeys History
 The production of cotton in Turkey in 1910 Is estimated al 105,000 bales of 500 pounds each, the largest crop grown there in many years. Recently consid erable attention has been given to the growing of cotton in this country, the higher price of the staple, as well as the opening up of new portions of the country by railways, contributing to this result. It Is believed that consider able advance will be made in the growth of cotton ih this country and that the quantity may be materially increased.
 Other countries
 Cotton for mill consumption was pro- duced in a number of other countries, among which are Persia, with 92.000 bales each. Africa, other than Egypt, 50,000 bales; Corea, 20, 900 bales; Indo- China, 10000 bales; Dutch East Indies. 12000 bales; Greece, 12000 bales, and Haiti, 11,00O bales. Small quantities have been furnished by a number of other countries, but the aggregate Is not large

Exports From Egypt

Aside from the grain and vegetable crops, which are chiefly consumed in the country, the great staple product of Egypt Is cotton. Practically the entire crop is exported. and the staple Is the chief source of income for that coun- try. The mild climate is especially adapted to cotton culture, the season being early and long enough to allow the plant to mature. The gathering of the crop is not interfered with by storms and rain. so there is no loss or

OCULIST'S NEW DISCOVERY
Theory Of Process Of Vision is
Changed as Result Of Series Of
Experiments.

A new discovery with regard to the
phenomena of the sense of sight has
been announced by Dr. F. w. Edridge-
Green. an eminent English authority
In visual research. He has found by
an interesting series of experiments
and tests that the process of vision is
not the simple transmission by the
optic nerve to the brain of objects
photoei aphed upon the retina.
The new discovery in non-technical
language amounts to thisf In front of
the re;ina there is small chamber
or sac of clear liquid which is in con-
stant motion OF currents or eddies.
DR.. Green finds that this liquid itself
contains distinct perceptive nerve
power which plays an important part
in conveying Impressions to the

Take Kaiser to Task.

Emperor William of Germany is in
receipt OF a singular petition forward
ed to Berlin by the Passaic IN j.
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. 1t calls attention to the
fact that in the fine equestrian
statue of your ma festy erected at the
entrance TO the new railway bridge at
Cologne the tail of the horse is
locked" The petition sets forth that
your majesty is no doubt aware
that the docking OF the horses tail
constitutes one of the worst cruelties
practiced on a dumb beast" 1t adds
"In our humble opinion it would be
a mistake to leave the statue in its
present form. A beautiful long tail
might be put in the place of the
stump. Such an alteration would not
only add much to the beauty of the
statue. but would also stop adverse
criticism regarding your maiesty's
feelings toward humane cause"

Old Timber Stronger Than New

Which is the stronger. piece OF
sound old timber or a piece of new ?
We think it probable that the major
ity OF engineers would say that the
new timber was the stronger. In
either case. however, the opinions
would be mere guesswork, for there
has been hitherto. SO far as we recall.
no authentic information on this
point This lack is now supplied In a
paper by Mr.. c. P. Buchanan. in which
he shows as result of careful tests.
that sound timber quarter of CEN
tury old IS materially stronger than
new stock
Mr.. Buchanan's tests were made on
white pine. but there is no reason to
suppose that oak. hard pine or any
other wood commonly used in build
ing would behave differently. 1t is
fair to conclude that all wood main
tains its strength. except as decay
weakens 1t or fire and mechanical abb
rasion destroy it,-Engineering News.

owes his position to his native smart

his pertinacity and by way of saying
something asked the young man II he
would like to have his photograph.
The present was accepted and the
minister overwhelmed with thanks.
After receiving the photograph the
young man absented himself altogeth-

elapsed and then there was chance
meeting in the street. The minister
smiling, asked the suitor the cause Of
his prolonged absence.

was the reply, Il had your photograph

for me-" And what did my photo

lobsters Washed Ashore In Storm.

During the recent storm, which was
the worst that has swept the New
Brunswick coast In a number of years,
thousands OF Holsters of all sizes have
been washed ashore on the North
Beach at Rexton. For a distance Of
several hundred yards a reef was
formed on the shore Of all sorts OF fish,
Including an immense quantity Of rock
eels as well as Holsters, which fish.
ermen say are more than all tho traps
would secure in season.
Thousands of birds of the sea were
on the beach eating the soft part of
the Holsters and leaving only the claws,
which were strewn about in all d.
rections. Although there have been
many severe storms here in the past,
no one recalls an event Of this kind.
A great many have visited the beach
to watch the gulls and other birds
ravenously enjoying the feast for them.

Fat-A Body Requisite.

The popular view of the close con nection between fat and good nature and weight and balance is not wholly without rational foundation. Fat. un- pleasant and stodgy as 1t is. is one of the most valuable tissues In the hu- man body, and any man who reduces his share of it below a certain req sonable level. not only takes the smooth edge of his temper and bal ance of his powers of judgment. but exposes all of his higher tissues, nota- bly, the muscular. nervous and secret ing. to danger of both starvation and disease. A moderate cushion of fat is one of the best buffers and buck lers against the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" whether in the form of disease or in strains upon en- durance The man who makes him. self into a lean and hungry Cassius. even with the best of intentions. is very apt to get himself into a state of both mind and body where he is more fit for treason. strategem and spells than for comfort wholesomeness and a happy life.-Outing.

Thicker Than Water.

Rather significant was the celebra- ton of the Fourth of July in Homo lulu. with two British cruisers to par ticipate in the exercises and with British officers in attendance upon an official public reception of Independ- ence day.
 This is strongly indicative of the brotherly feeling existing between the two countries. of the oft-Quoted senti- ment that blood is thicker than wa ter" and of the kinship of the Eng lish-speaking people.
 The minsing of the British army and navy officials with the Americans in celebration of the anniversary of this country's independence is sug gestive of the old soldiers reunions in which veterans of the Union and Confederate armies fraternize and march together in procession and are brothers under the skies who have for gotten any past differences that es- tranged them for a time.-San An tonic Express.
