sPINNERS WAR ON EXCHANGE
Relations Between Manufacturers As
ISOLATION and New York Institu-
tion Disrupted.

i The American Cotton Manufacture
ers' association has declared war on
the New York cotton exchange, and
the relations between Spectator and
spinner, which have been strained for
several years, are completely disrupt
ed. If other means fail 1t is proposed
to invoke congress to compel the ex-
change to conduct its operations on
q basis less favorable to the Wiles Of
the big manipulators, who have dom
mated prices and the distribution Of
the staple with an eye solely to their
own advantage. President Marsh of
the exchange admits that its affairs
are conducted In the interest of cotton
merchants rather than manufacturers
Or any other class engaged In the
business, says the Washington Post.
The association has no quarrel with
the New Orleans cotton exchange, I'M
der the rules of which the worst prac-
tees tolerated In New York are pro-
hibited, but the operations on the lat
ter exchange are SO much greater than
on the first named that the unfortu-
nate effects are practically UNIVERSAL
~ felt Persistent price misquotation
is the principal source of complaint,
and as this trick of the ticker crowd
works out to the loss Of the manufac.
turer IN making big purchases, the
point against the exchange would
seem to be well taken. He suffers
from the juggling of prices, whether
they be abnormally high or CORE
epondly low

The swimming apparatus designed
by a German swimming master Is
both for trained swimmers and those
ignorant of the art. When out Of use,
this apparatus is readily carried In
the pocket, says the Popular Mechan-

cushions, each subdivided into Ave
compartments which are connected
together by transyersal straps. Be

consists Of thin caoutchouc lined with
a dense fabric, It is inflated through
a valve, within a few seconds. by a

body, the apparatus leaves the head

TO COOPERATE IN BUYING.
Farmers Begin to Realize Importance
of Studying Every Field and Mix
ing Fertilizer.

A number Of progressive farmers
have made up combined order for
commercial fertilizers unmixed in the
form Of nitrate Of soda, muriate OF
potash and acid phosphate. The first
order of this kind was sent last year
and everyone realizes that they can
save money by ordering in this way.
They also are beginning to realize
the Importance of studying every field
and mixing the fertilizer for that par
ticular field and crop, which can be
done by mixing at home. Some have
had great results by using nitrate OF
soda on the meadows early In the
spring when the grass Is just starting,
and We have learned that we must use
more potash to stiffen the straw SO
that oats will not lodge SO badly.
When one has these chemicals sepa-
rately he can run experiments Of his
own and learn great deal about the
needs and requirements Of the soil In
order to get the largest crop yields.

hub is made from a round block OF
wood, as shown at &C. and round
sticks, cut from light curtain poles

some boys make them of thin wood,

While this is general description
of a sail wagon, it does not take the
average boy long to make one to suit
himself out of almost any old thing he
is sure to find about the place. 1t Is
interesting to notice the many and diff
ferent designs of wagons and sails
when once the craze is started.
Smooth roads, an open space and
plenty of wind Is all that is necessary
for successful sail-wagon race.

Falls Into a Coal Hole.

up around his equator. His sudden
descent had wedged the man firmly
in a coal hole. After the first sensa-
ton Of surprise he gazed up at win
dow in the Mayfair and continued to
watt an adieu.
A large and appreciative gathering
viewed his unhappy predicament.
Presently Corthell's pathetic means
brought two porters from the Hotel
Portland to his assistance. Tenderly
they took hold. He did not bulge.
They used force and despite his fran
tic outcries as the coal hole reluct-
antly yielded him they drew him
forth to West Forty-geventh street.

BEE IS GREATEST ENGINEER
Little Honey Gatherer Has Solved
Problem Of Room, of Lightest Ma
teriaI and Strength.

Probably King Solomon has been
most criticised in his Judgment for
sending the .'sluggard" to the ant,
there to consider her ways and be
wise" We can't say, but it may have
been that in Solomon's time they didn't
have the present day Italian honey
bee turning out comb honey In the
commercial square, pound frames. But
we are assured just now that taking
up a pound of honey In an ordinary
frame, the average engineer ought to
feel immensely incompetent and I'M
wise as to ordinary ways and means to
engineering results.
In the construction Of the hexagon
honey cell of material from her own
body, the working bee at once has
solved the problem of economy Of
room, of the lightest possible mate
rial of greatest strength, while the
dividing wall in each honey case al
lows the greatest number of work
ers to continue ION the job A. H,
GODDARD, writing of the engineering ca
pacity of the honey bee says: II have
seen strips of comb a foot wide and
four feet long sustaining weight Of
80 Or 40 pounds of honey, while the
comb itself would probably not weigh
more than five or six ounces. We
need not hesitate to say that such a
structure compares favorably with
some Of the best achievements Of the
modern engineering skill Of man.
