CHANCE STANDARD
 OF COTTON GRADES
NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE COMMITTEES MAKES REPORT
 ON NEW CONTRACTS.
One Lower Grade Win Be Recon mended and Other Necessary Changes Made in the Standards.

New York, Nov 22 The special committee appointed by the board O. managers of the New York cotton exchange on October 2 to consider She question of changing the exist. Ing type standards with the sugges- tion ot making such change in the contract as the committee might deem advisable, and to inquire into @onditions of trading in the local market, has made it's report It re- commended that the exchange should adopt tine standard types of the grades and half grades of white cot ton promulgated by the department of agriculture in 1909 as the types to be used by the exchange for the clas- sitication of gulf and Texas cotton adding thereto one lower grade
 The committee further recommend that type of upland white cotton equivalent ill grade should be pre- pared by the exchange, with the ap- proval of the government if possible to be used for the classification of upland cot.ons and that strong and determined effort be made to secure the cooperation Of the department of agriculture and of congress in having such upland types added to and made the government standard types for upland cotton and adding thereto one lower grade
 It was recommended also that che government standard types be adopt ed with the additions noted to take effect beginning April l, 1915, but the committee stated that while adyocdt- ing the adoption of the government standard types, it was nevertheless the opinion that it would be better for the New York cotton exchange and for the cotton trade generally if the standard types known as the in- ternational standard types could 0e substituted for the present govern ment standard types In the event that such substitution was made Dy the government on or before April I, 1914, the exchange would adopt these international types, otherwise the present government standard types will be the trading basis on the exchange.
 The committee on southern ware houses has been asked to propose practical method of putting in.o oper- ation plan of delivery of cotton in the south
 The board also authorized the ap- pointment of a committee to consider the suhjec,s of spinning values of cotton in conjunction with the work ncrw being done by the department of agriculture in that matter. All of the recommendations will be consld- cred at special meeting of the K shange to he held on December 2.

Research Work Finds a Third
Intermediary State.
After Freezing, Bodies Can Be
Brought to Life.
HOLDS GOOD WITH ANIMALS
Experiments Have Proved New
Scientific Beliefs.
Bodies May Be Dead Only in
Outward Appearances.

Baltimore, Md, May 3.-Research
work in the astrological and psyche
logical departments of Johns Hopkins
Medical school have led the investi-
gators to believe in the existence of a
third intermediary state between life
and death which comprises certain
principles of both.
The experiments have shown that
many forms of life can be resuscitated
after being suspended by freezing
LIQUID air for several weeks or even
months and has led to the renewed
discussion of the possibility of resusci-
tating the bodies of Captain Scott
and his comrades which are frozen in
the Antarctic.
Cold blooded animals, such as frogs,
rats and snakes, have been frozen for
long periods by being placed in jars
of liquid air at a temperature of $50
degrees below Fahrenheit zero and as
a rule have survived this treatme nt
and retain their specific pathogenic
characteristics. The results of these
experiments have led scientists to be-
lieve that in many instances a body is
dead only as to outward appearances
and that life remains latent.
The work of investigators is now
being conducted along lines that will
lead to the discovery of a test that
can be applied in all cases and a treat
ment which will prove successful in
resuscitating bodies which are within
the new state or Latent life.'

the way a governing Australian clu b
is conducted. The v. r. c., as it is
popularity known throughout Aus
tralia, has membership of between
three and four thousand persons. Any
reputable citizen may become a mem

bers of the club is held during the
first week in August, as the racing
year in Australia dates from the first
of that month. The PROCEEDINGS are
not always a formality. The club is
managed by committee of II elected
by ballot to serve without remunera-
ton for one year.
A member of the v. r. c. pays an
entrance fee of $25, with annual dues
of the same amount. For this sum a
member gets admission to about 20
days racing, the principal meeting
belng four days in the spring, four
days in the autumn, New Years day
and three days in midwinter when
racing over the jumps is held at
which the Australian grand national
steeplechase is run. There is no SEN
arate body governing the jl1mpine
races, as in England or America The
member is also entitled to admission
10 any special meeting that may be
held on the track.
The charge for admission to the
grandstand on Australian racecourses
IS $3.50, with an additional fee to the
saodl1ng paddock of $125 at big meet

Betting is conducted by bookn1a kers
either for cash or on credit, for which
they are charged an annual license fee
of $3.50 by the club. The subcommittee

Spring Cleaning at CITY Hall.

The spring cleaning of the city
building will be completed next week;
it has cost city hall not more than
$3.50. Funds have been taken from
individual budgets. Roy L. Bone,
commissioner of finance, has rear
ranged the third floor in order to give
him q private office, with adjoining
room for the auditor, license collector
and electrician. The rooms are at
tractively papered in dull brown. The
offices of c. B. Burge, city clerk, and
of the city treasurer are also being
renovated. The fire marshal is having
his office and the mems sleeping room
repapered and freshly ceilinged. w.
H. Kemper, election commissioner, is
rejuvenating his registry and private

DERBIES ON The WING
Feathered Racers That Travel Mile
a Minute for 500 Miles.

Fifty years ago probably not one
EngliShman out of a thousand could
have answered the simplest question
about the homing pigeon. Today there
are in Great Britain alone more than
800 clubs devoted to it's interest: and
there are half a million birds able to
fly distances ranging up to 500 miles or
more, at the speed of a train, winging
their way over land and sea with an
unerring instinct. All that horse-rac-
ing is to the rich, pfgeon-racing is to
the man of slender purse.
And not only to the poor men, who
have their cotes in thousands scattered
over the face of the country; for the
homer has his devotees in all ranks,
from laborer to lord. and King George
himself treasures more than one prize
won by the fleetnesS of wings.
Those who are skeptieal of the fas-
cinations of this sport of the people,
should see the special trains leaving
Manchester and Warrington, carrying
some 10, 600 pigeons on their way to dis
tant Nantes for the great homeward
race of APO ito 500 miles, for prizes ag-
regating over $1,000.
In one such race the winner sped
across land and sea at an average
speed of 1,420 yards a minute; another
reached it's loft in just over 91A hours,
having flown 433A miles at the rate
of 1929 yards a minute. And these
are quite common speeds, even for a.
to Edinburgh The value of these TO-
600 birds is G12, 900; and their journey
to France costs every penny of $780,
of which EDS is required for customs
dues at st. MalO.

ing only bears out the statement he made
when he first went to Brooklands, in
which he promised to break all worlds
records before participating in the Indian
apolis race.
Not only did the Frenchman shatter the
hour mark, but he set new records for the
so and 100-mile marks. The former dis
lance was negotiated in :2S :iS .65 and the
latter in :56 30. SO. The former records
were by Lambert. He made the so miles
in 80 Oh and the 100 miles in 81 AS. As on
February Is.
1 is hard to appreciate the real speed
which Goux attained. He Travelled a dis
lance of 20 miles in sixty minutes, or
at a rate Of 1856 7-10 feet a second. If the
ear was equipped with 34x4 wheels each
wheel would have made 62, S32 revolutions
for the entire distance. The average tour
ing car engine at a 31s to 1 ratio would
have to turn over 1865 times each minute
to keep the pace. Tt has been figured
out that If the driver had applied both
brakes he could not have stopped his car
in less than L Ito miles or $3.50 feet.
Comparing the speed of the Peugeot to
the muzzle velocity of a 13-inch gun used
in the nited States navy, it is found that
Goux travelled more than lilo as fast as a
ball from one of the large guns. The
speed of the bullet is approximately 1,4G0
feet a second.

not unknown. In recent races from
Retford and Branston to London, dis
tances well over 10 miles, many of the
birds averaged considerably over a
mile a minute. In another race, in
which 1000 birds, belonging to the Lon
don Federation. We're tossed at Temple
combe, the winner covered 10S miles in
"a minutes; another reached it's Chel-
sea cote after flying the distance at
an, average sped of just over 20 miles
an hour.
Fully 100 of the birds flew over go
miles an hour; in fact, many of the
owners were so little prepared for such
wonderful flights that, when they
thought it was time for their arrival
and went to the cotes, the pigeons were
found resting on their perches.
A century ago no pigeon had been
known to fly greater distance than
100 miles. There are birds today which
have covered over 1000 miles in a sin
gle flight, making straight as an arrow
for their cotes over a distance as great
as that which separates London from
Madrid. Our American pigeon, indeed,
has done better still, for it accom-
plished a flight of 100 miles, from the
roof of a Denver hotel to its loft in
Pittsburg. Such are the amazing feats
of these monarchs of the air, which
can fly for twenty hours or more at a
stretch without food or water!
It is easy to believe the fascination
of this sport of pigeon-racing when we
find that as many as 10000 birds have
competed in a single race, and that on
a single Saturday between 200. 600 and
300, 600 are tossed in competitions all
over the country, the prizes for which
amount to 1000.
Naturally, from one cause or another,
many of the birds never find their way
home. Indeed, in one memorable race
from Nantes to Lancashire, it was esti-
mated that over 5000 pigeons out of g.
595-thus went astray.
Pigeon-racing has even more the fas-
cinating uncertainty of the turf, for
the humblest fancier is on equal terms
with his more wealthy neighbor He
may be lucky enough to buy a
"squeaker''-a young bird-for a pa1try
los, and discover that he has a. veri-
table Eclipse, a flyer that can win g.
small fortune in prizes, and which he
would not part with for G100. For an
expenditure of e7 or 98 he can start
a cote which, with luck, will soon yield
a revenue of from $50 to G100 a year
in the sale of young birds alone, apart
from a possible harvest of prize-money

Indianapolis, May 3.-The man who has
Travelled faster than ever man has gone

who drove a Talbot car 103 miles ia yards
in an hour. Vedrine, the aviator, has held

miles in an hour at Chicago.
After Percy Lambert made his unusual
record, Goux made three efforts to beat
it. succeeding on his third attempt. On
his first trial the Frenchman proved that
