Passing of the Umbrella.

"The times coming" remarked a
f1oorwalker in one of the big stores,
when umbrellas will be relics of the
past. Automobiles are knocking them
out. l don't mean by that that people
buy automobiles to ride in on rainy
days instead of carrying umbrellas,
but it is inconvenient to carry an UNI
brella in an auto, and autoists provide
themselves with those light raincoatS
that can be used even in warm wealth
er, and the practice of having a rain
coat handy instead of an umbrella is
spreading all the time. Then manufac-
turers are now able to waterproof al
most any sort of overcoat goods, and
there isn't much necessity for a man
to own an umbrella in overcoat wealth
er. They point out that in a real
drenching storm an umbrella would
not do much good anyhow and in a
mild shower one wouldn't get very wet
anyhow. There will still be use for
umbrellas for women, but even they
are doing without them more and
more "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Animals We Know,

How recent a science is that which
used to be called natural history, but
which is now divided into so many
branches, is shown by some figures
recently presented To the British Asso-
citation For the Advancement Of Sci
ence. In 1880 the total number of
species of animal life known was 10
5SS. This included 49,10O kinds of
insects, 1000 of mollusks, $500 of
birds and $500 of fishes. In 1881 the
total number had increased to 81 ,GJ3;
the birds and fishes had grown to
1900 each, mollusks to $4,000 and
insects to the surprising number of
220, 80. OF spiders alone there We're
then known 500 sorts. In the years
since 1881 the number of new species
discovered each year has averaged
1900, so that now there are cata-
lOgued and described III round mum
bers 100000 kinds of animals.

THE OLD GREAT EASTERN-
She Was a Rocking Horse When Her

She Was a Rocking Horse When Har
Engines Stopped at Sea.
"You can say what YOU please about
the old Great Eastern said an Amer
lean who has crossed the ocean twice
or more every year for almost half
century, but she was Il grand ideJ
The trouble was that the idea was t.
most fifty years ahead of its time. 1t
has taken the world all that time to
grow up to a Great Eastern as exem-
plifed by the Lusitania and the Maui
retania.
II made my first voyage to Europe
in the Great Eastern. That was in
1862. 1t was the first time the vessel
sailed into Liverpool. She had accom-
modations for hundreds on hundreds
of passengers, but there were only 100
in her on that trip.
You know she had both propeller
and paddle wheels. AS long as she
kept going it was all right, for she
moved along steadily and majestically
But one day we were hailed by q
small French steamer that had mail
to send to Europe, and we stopped
short in midocean, while a boat put
out from the other vessel.
"Well, how it happened I don't
know, but the huge mountain of u
vessel seemed to lose her balance. She
wabbled about there in a dreadful
fashion. Passengers and stewards
were hurled about in every direction,
and, as for crockery, 1 don't believe
whole plate or cup or saucer was
saved from the wreckage.
"On the vessel was every sort of gen.
eral cargo, including live stock, and.
as for provisions, why, we had better
food and fresher than you can get on
liner today. We had absolutely fresh
meat, fresh milk and freshly killed
chicken.
Even in speed the Great Eastern
was in advance of her time, for it took
US only eight days to get to Liverpool"

Hot Planets.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
the four outer planets-are hotter than
the earth. Recent observations at the
Lowell observatory, secured in the
form of photographs of planetary spec
ira, show that there is oxygen in the
atmospheres of all four and that in the
cases of Uranus and Neptune hydro
gen and perhaps heIium are atmos-
pherically present. The outer planets
have water vapor as the principal con
stituent of their atmospheres. They
probably consist Of q nucleus hot to its
surface, yelled in dense. unbroken
clouds, floating in an atmosphere large

A FAMILY AFFAIR,
The Drummer Had an Easy Thing and
Knew It,

Knsw 1t.
IF that drummer ever puts up at
this house again I'll try to make his
stay interesting" said the clerk of
hotel in one of Michigan's liveliest
towns as he scoWled at Il bellboy who
was trying hard not to laugh.
He came in here the other day and
after registering turned the page back
and looked at the names of the day
before. Say he said suddenly. 1
have discovered a funny thing in the
last few days, and that is that there
are more persons registering under the
name of Brown than there are under
the name of Smith. | don't know
whether the Brown family are more
numerous or whether they travel more
than the Smiths, but it is a fact new
ertheless that there are more Browns
to be found on the hotel registers than
there are Smiths
THAT hasn't been my experience
answered. and you will find that it
isn't true at this hotel, for there are
six Smiths registered here to one
Brown
"'You don't know he retorted.
Now, to prove what | say and make
it more interesting l will wager you
that by the time I'm ready to leave
tomorrow there will be more Browns
on the register than Smiths
81 thought had an easy mark, so l
took him up. He proposed that
should buy him a twenty-five cent
cigar for every Brown whose name
went down on the register and he
would do the same for me when the
name was Smith.
THAT was agreeable to me, and l
simply chuckled to myself, for 1 knew
of at least two Smiths who were due
and who would undoubtedly be here
before the drummer left.
well, in less than ten minutes it
began to rain Browns l never saw so
many Browns together in my life. The
hotel register began to look like a rec
ord of the Brown family. Every few
minutes the drummer would call
around, check up the register and de-
mand the cigars coming to him.
''The truth came out at last. That
miserable drummer had discovered
that there was to be reunion of the
Brown family in this city, and. learn
ing that most of them were going to
put up here he sprang his scheme on
me to get his smoking for month for
nothing, and as if that wasn't enough
he has just sent me a collect message

Ratskins.

The use of ratskins in the manu-
facture of fancy articles is increasing
Last year the trade in Great Britain
alone amounted to $250,0OO. and sup
plies of brown rat skins are being
sought in lots of from 100 to 10000.
1t is proposed to start a business in
Calcutta for securing and preparing
the skins of the brown rat, to be
used, among a variety of purposes, in
the binding of books and the making
Of purses, gloves and various articles
for women's use and wear The sup
ply of rats in Calcutta is said to be

House TALKS; SAND FLOWS
Speaker Cannon Has "FiVe-Minute
Glass to Limit the OratOry.
Members Kick.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The house
was agog today to know what sort
of a queer instrument Speaker Can
non had sitting on his marble desk
during the debate on the army bill
Asher Kinds, the parliamentary sec
rotary, manifested great interest in
it, and was seen many times to be
adjusting it and apparently turning
it upside down People in the gal
lery craned their necks to see the
thing Now and then the speaker
would stand with his hands folded
on the end of the gavel and con-
template the instrument with wrapt
attention
1t was not long before it was pos
sible to guess that the device was
something after the order of an hour
glass. 1t was designed by Mr.. Kinds,
and is for the purpose of dealing out
eyen-handed justice to members who
speak under the five-minute rule of
the house. The instrument contains
black sand enough to take just five
minutes to run out. Behind the
glass is white screen so that the
sand can be easily seen all over the
chamber.
The device apparently acts as a
restraint on debate. Representa-
tive Mann, who is equally able to
talk under any kind of a disturb
ance, came up to the desk after the
session tonight, and asked if the
! thing is to be kept there right along
If it is" said he, 4 am down and
out. l can't speak at all with that
sand running. l get so much inter
ested in the sand that l forget what
want to say" Other members
said it affected them in the same
! way

/ OIL MIL TO FATTEN CATTLE
Prepared 600 Lean and Hungry Kline
For Market Last Winter, and
Will Try 1t Over Again.

AMERICUS, Ga.-The very prof
liable business of fattening cattle on
cotton seed hulls, which was con-
Quoted here so successfully last win
/ ter by one of the Americas oil mills
and which created widespread in
/ terest throughout Georgia, is being
attempted again this season by the
Farmers Oil Company here.
Last season over 900 head of cat
tie, purchased largely in south Geor-
gia, south Alabama and Florida,
were hauled to Americas to be fat
tened, and the result was indeed
wonderful The lean, hungry kline
were placed in ten-acre lot and fed
abundantly upon cotton seed meal
and bulls. They took on flesh rap
idly, and in a few weeks, rolling fat,
they were ready for the market.
These cattle were sold at top prices
in Americus, Macon and other mar
kets. Many of them, fat steers and
dry mich cows suitable for beef,
were shipped to Birmingham and
other cities beyond the state line
and sold at very excellent prices.
The Farmers Oil Company will
again engage in fattening cattle for
market, and to this end has pur-
chased about 500 head and will put
them on an exclusive feed of cotton
seed meal and hulls. About $50
head of cattle are in the enclosure
today, while eight carloads of COWS
and steers will arrive Monday or
Tuesday, and will go upon the same
feed.
The cattle eat the meal and hulls
raVenousIy, and within three or four
weeks are ready for slaughter, seal
fat and in prime condition.
Aside from the fine profit to the
in the sale of fat cattle at
advanced prices the land upon which
the vast herd of 600 head is pastured
is made immensely rich and fertile
Each season the pasture is shifted
from one locality to another, and in
this way the oil company will, in a
few years, possess the richest farm
in all southern Georgia, and at no
cost whatever.
