Cotton Picking in Texas.-Whole-
sale traders in the vicinity of Dallas
and other Texas towns already have
had thirty days of trade which they
regard as the best in point of volume
of sales in the history Of that part of
the state. A buyer for one of the lead
ing cotton firms says: There prob
ably has never been such a dearth of
cotton pickers. Farmers are offering
to pay as much as 81 a hundred
pounds without getting them. They
have taken many operatives out of
the mills at Dallas, Bonham and Wax
ahatchie and are offering them twice
as much wages as they get in the
mills.
Merchants from all sections of the
state report large receipts of cotton
and all the gins in full operation. Cot
ton is bringing III to liz cents. Cot
ton duck material, from which sacks
are made for picking cotton, has had
an unprecedented demand. The local
supply Is exhausted and jObbers are
importing it from Georgia mills

Wild Talk Unnecessary.-We regre

Wild Talk Unneeessary.-We regret
that our friend ]. V. Wallace of
Charleston, should have used in the
course of an Introductory speech the
language he is reported to have used.
If he intimated that he was ready to
resort to arms in order for the gov
ernor to be seated then he was not JUS
titled in using such language. We can
not conceive a condition in this state
wherein it would be necessary to re-
sort to arms to carry out the expressed
will of the people, and when intima-
tions of this character are made 1t Is
usually to give expression to intense
feeling, and not intended to mean all
that the words imply. There will be
no need to resort to arms. We have
courts which can be appealed to If 1t
becomes necessary; but we hope even
this will not be necessary because, 1t
matters not how partisan the courts
might be, they would know that should
they do the people an injustice now,
there would come time when the peo-
pie would take hand at the courts.
This Is government for the people
and by the people, and even the courts
must respect the will of the majority

squeezed, but the squeezing at Toulon
is not the squeezing Of the Italian

The shoulder of the funnel is at

small, yet Nice pours much Of her pop

In the Riviera has such a sea view as
that to be had from the promenade
along the western and eastern bays,
divided by the little fort and the once
naughty, now gloomy old town, the
home Of Martins, Grimaldis, and other
once princely families. High above the
town swings the spire Of st. Michele,
and almost on a level with it's top lies
the cemetery where John Richard
Green Is buried. But the old town Is
not the first thought. Perhaps, If one
knows the Riviera, one is partially
Injured to the charm Of old towns

And it is nothing in Mentone itself that

that they are now in Italy.

LIGHTS IN MINES.
First Practical Test Of Davy's Safety
Lamp was Dramatic.

First Practical Test Of Davy's Safety
Lamp was Dramatic.
II you have ever looked at pictures
of coal miners you must have noticed
that they are sometimes represented
with peculiar little lamps stuck In theil
caps. These are known as the Davy
safety lamp. The flame Is entirely sur.
rounded with very fine gauze wire
which permits enough air to enter tc
keep the lamp alight, but Is too fine
for any flame to pass through 1t. The
dangerous gases in the coal mine car
enter the lamp and burn, but the fame
cannot get out.
Before this invention the miners Of
ten worked in absolute darkness, as II
would have been madness to carry light
into any coal mine, where what IL
called fire damp is common.
The safety lamp was invented by
Sir Humphry Davy, famous English
scientist, but the wonderful thine
about the story Of its invention is thai
no one could be found who would dare
to carry 1t into a coal mine to test 1t.
On Jan. 8. 1916, John Hodgson, min
lister who lived near Newcastle, In the
north Of England, which Is a grea,
coal mining region, volunteered to &c
down into the Hebburn coal pit with q
lighted Davy lamp in his hand 30 as to
settle for all time whether 1t was real
ly a safety lamp or not.
The first miner who saw him ap-
proach was nearly beside himself with
terror and screamed and prayed for
whoever 1t was to put out the light
before It was too late But the minis
ter walked steadily on. confident in
the truth Of the scientific fact upon
which the lamp was built, until he got
close enough for the miner to recog-
nize him.
Every miner in the pit knew the par
son and their confidence in him and
what he told them was greater than
their faith in the lamp, much as they
desired 1t. But for the bravery OF this
Newcastle preacher 1t might have been
a long time before the lamp came into
use, II at all.-Exchange.

| that roars with the accumulation oi
the myriad tiny cracking noises Of the
countless flashes as they pass from
tube to tube. The heat Is 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit, and water must be contin.
ually circulated through the copper
tubes to prevent their instant destruc.
ton. Even with the water they only
last 300 hours. SO intense Is the glow
from this disc that the eye cannot gaze
into 1t long without the protection OF
colored glass. Into this fiercely fam
ing disc, air is fed, and as 1t passes
through, two per cent Of 1t Is converted
into nitric oxide, which must be quick
ly and carefully collected and treated
to prevent its decomposition into its
original elements, nitrogen and oxygen
Being brought into contact with water
the nitric oxide changes into nitric
acid. which Is sprayed into vats OF
granite filed with limestone. with
which It combines with much efferves-
cence, making calcium nitrate. Seven
different chemical changes take place
in the process, which finally results In
this substitute for Chilean saltpeter.
The substitute Is called Norwegian
saltpeter," and sells in Europe for
s3S.75 ton, whereas Chilean saltpeter
commands $45.62.
Two German scientists, Schonherr
and Hessberger, invented for q Ger
man chemical company an apparatus
which. while simpler than that of
Birkeland and Eyde, gets a greater per-
centage Of nitric oxide from a given
amount Of air. The chemical process
Is the same. The German invention
was primarily intended for the purpose
Of securing the sodium nitrate needed
in the manufacture Of "azo" dyes, but
1t has proved so successful that, while
the nitrate used In making the worlds
supply of "azo" dyes is practically all
furnished by 1t, a large amount Of nj
trate fertilizer Is also produced. The
Tchonherr- -Hessberger process de-
pends also on hydro-electric heat, as
the cost Of fuel necessary to generate
the current used by the use Of steam
would make the price of the product
prohibitive.
The gathering Of nitrogen from the
air calling for the use Of such tre-
mendous amount Of electric energy,
plants must perforce be located at
points at which power can be devel-
oped at small cost and where there Ia
no sale for It for purposes which can
afford to pay higher prices. The south.
therefore. is peculiarly the place for
such plants, because In that section
sites for such developments abound, at
which power can be cheaply generated.
and from many Of which it cannot be
economically delivered to manufactur-
ing plants Of other kinds. Then, too,
the south is becoming more and more
a user of fertilizers, and with its
broadly expanding agricultural inter-
ests and its rapid advance in scientific
intensive farming the market will be
such that 1t will require numerous cal
cium plants to supply the local de-
mand. Cheap power, convenient lime
stone, good facilities for transporta-
tion and rapidly-growing market. the
basic requirements for such enter
prises-all these the south has to offer.

had been expended, and was abandon
ed. But although it had failed financi-
ally, 1t was a success scientifically, for
1t demonstrated the fact that nitric
acid could be produced from the at
mosphere, and left as the problem to
be solved that of producing it in such
quantities and at such cost as would
make 1t good commercial proposition
Later two Norwegian scientists, Kris
tian Birkeland and Samuel Eyde,
worked out a plan and invented ma
chinery by which this could be done,
They built a plant close by great
hydro electric development In the
mountains of Norway, from which
they secured cheap power in plenty,
and there calcium nitrate Is being pro-
duced in competition with the sodium
nitrate dug from the mines OF Chile
The Birkeland- -Eyde apparatus con-
sists principally of a steel drum eight
feet in diameter and two feet deep,
lined with friedrich and set up on It's
narrow side. Reaching out from oppo-
site sides of this drum are two U-shap-
ed copper tubes, their curved ends ap-
preaching within third Of an inch
Of each other. A horse shoe magnet
embraces the drum, mounted at right
angles to the tubes. When the current
is turned on, small electric flashes leap
out between the tubes so rapidly that
they seem to the eye to form a steady
flame. This flame, responsive to mag
netism, is attracted by the horseshoe
magnet, which spreads 1t into six

Amazon Valley, a Paradise.
Not long ago got out Of the library
of congress a big volume and perhaps
its title Is Across the Andes and
Down in the Amazon" 1t Is delight
full narrative. I'll tell you what that
fellow said. He came to land on the
east slope Of the Andes, a paradise. He
found 100 sorts Of delicious fruits he
had never heard Of and he had been all
over the world. He saw thousands OF
beautiful and fragrant flowers strange
to our cline. He saw this-that they
planted corn by making a hole in
the unbroken ground with the finger,
never giving a stroke Of tillage, and
the yield was more abundant than the
harvest of the Wabash bottoms Of the
Iowa prairie. 1 think that a cock and
bull story, however 1t sounds like one,
at any rate, but am satisfied 1t is
marvellous country.
But as long as the Monroe Doctrine
holds, no railroad will penetrate there
from the Amazon on the east, or the
Pacific on the west The people are
admirable simple, affectionate HARM
less. Every revolution that comes they
are harried by the different bands Of
patriots and that Is the blessing they
get out of the Monroe Doctrine.
Now ! have made very unpatriotic
talk; but when this wicked world we
live in shall become civilized there
will be no Monroe Doctrine. And South
America will be developed to the i'm
mense material advantage Of all
tongues and peoples under the sun.

BREED THEATER.

An unusually striking example of the possibilities of presenting film drama that deals with prison walls and all that goes with this darl1ened way, in a manner to make it pleasing to the masses Is demonstrated in the remark able film by the Biograph company now the feature at the Breed. Here is q story that is at once absorbing, and with the added attraction of Mary Picldord and her charming manner the picture is an instant success. As usual with the pictures at the Breed, this picture shows the triumph of right over wrong, and the moral is made the ob- tecttve point in the film, which is one that will long remain in the memory of aH who see it. For the especial de- lectation of the hundreds of juvenile patrons of the Breeds Saturday mat 1nee. Manager McNulty has secured the Vitagraph feature entitled A Juvenile Love Affair, which is bubbling over with merry moments, and the children gre ali in love with the charming char Acksrs and fascinating story.
