a boil weevil, a stop was made
at Pink MasOn's fine cotton patch.
It looked for awhile as if their

the destructive insects were con-

Powers Against Huerta.
That Americas determination to
put an end to Huerta's rule will be
easily effected may be drawn from
the promise of moral support to the
position Of tho United States that
have been vouchsafed by foreign
powers. England. Germany, France
and Japan all have expressed a
stand indorsing that of the United
states in the effort to obtain peace
for Mexico. From no quarter, it is
promised win Huerta receive fnan-
cial support
All these expressions have the ten
dency OF sealing Huerta's doom.
So far advanced and so completely
decided are the plans for Huerta' 3
overthrow that serious discussion is
under way among the Washington
Senators, Il is understood, concerning
a successor to Huerta as provisional
President, to hold in power until a
legal election can he held. Here pre-

Anarchy Is Feared.
Many Senators at Washington. It

However, President Wilson and Sec

EDISON TRIED To
RUN TELEGRAPH
WITH TAbbY CAT
Boyhood Feat Recalled by Pro-
posed Visit to Scenes of
Early Triumphs.

PORT HURON, MICH, Nov 15.-In
connection with the celebration Of the
centennial anniversary of old Fort
Gratiot, planned for next May, it Is
proposed to have Thomas A. Edison
take an active part in the celebration
1t was in Port Huron that Mr.. Edi-
son spent his boyhood days
One incident Of his boyhood days
is told by a lifelong chum of the in
ventor. Edison, he said, would pay
daily visits to the telegraph offices in
this city and sit for hours and study
the wonderful mechanism.
He would gaze at the cup with
its. copper, zinc and acid and hear
the click of the sounder and wonder
from where came this magical power"
says this friend.
Puts Cat in the Circuit.
Determined to find out for him
self he constructed a short line from
his laboratory to the residence Of his
young assistant and chum, James
Ward. Common stovepipe wire, in
sulated with bottles placed on nails
driven into trees and carried under
an exposed road by means of a piece
of abandoned cable fiShed up from the
Detroit River was the equipment used.
The youngster had seen sparks
emitted from a cats back. Judging
that there must be a good battery
where the indications were so strong,
he Inserted a cat in the circuit, using
the animals feet as electrodes
The connection made, he tried to
start the electric current by rubbing
the cats back A tremendous local
current and perfect electric arc were
produced, attended by considerable
disturbance. But.as the battery would
not work, the line was soon aban-
doned.
Uses Whistle to Talk.
Perhaps his most ingenious boy
hood feat was performed during an
ice jam that broke the cable between
Port Huron, in Michigan, and Sarnia,
In Canada. The river at this point is
mile and a half wide. The ice made
the river impossible, and there was
no way OF repairing the cable.
Edison jumped on locomotive
and seized the valve controlling the
whistle. He had an idea that the
blasts Of the whistle might be broken
into long and short sounds, CORE
spending with the dots and dashes Of
telegraphy. In a moment the whistle
sounded over the river:
Hello, Sarnial
Finally the operator on the other
side understood Answering toots
came cheerily back and the connec-
ton was established"

GOING To THE
DEEP SEA FOR
STRANGE FISH
Coast Survey Steamer Bache
viii Garry Party of
Experts.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 15.-within the
next month the little coast survey
service steamer Bache will leave the
Chesapeake on an expedition to gath
er specimens of fish and other sea life
in the Atlantic Ocean.
The work she will do will be along
the same lines as that performed for
science by the Prince of Monaco.
Aboard her, in addition to the off,
GERS of the ship, will be two experts
from the Bureau of Fisheries, who
will classify and preserve the fish and
other objects taken from the deep
waters.
To Correct Charts.
While the cruise will be primarily
for the benefit Of the Bureau of Fish
cries and will be under its direction,
In a large measure, the information
that will be gathered as to the ocean
bottom and depths of water will be
used in correcting existing charts.
The Bache upon leaving the Chesa-
peake will head for the Bermudas,
and from Cape Henry to the islands
dredges will be pulled over the ocean
bottom. From the Bermudas the ship
will lay her course for the Florida
coast and specimens Of ocean life will
also be obtained on this leg Of the
cruise.
For National Museum.
Considerable dredging will be done
in the vicinity of the Bermudas ana
it is expected that specimens of ma
rine life will be brought up from the
lower depths of the ocean that are
now unknown to science. The speci-
mems obtained will be preserved with
the greatest care and it is said
will finally be put on exhibition in
the National Museum.
This expedition to gather fish and
sea life is something rather new for
the coast and geodetic survey ser
vice, which has heretofore confined
it's operations to gathering informa
ton regarding shoals and currents
for the benefit of mariners, but drag
ging the ocean bottom Is nothing
new to the officers, and they will
doubtless be able to do it we'll.

Of Ford
Company Predicts
Leather Shortage

DETROIT, MICH, Feb 15.--If the
Eautomobile industry continues to grow
EduriuR the coming years with the ra-
tpidity 1t has during the last--and
|eyery indication is that 1t will--some
/ one must come forward with good
Esubytftute for leather for use in car
| ur3helstering.
Already those high In the motor car
world are beginning to concern them
Iselvon with this problem. AS the years
Ipass and the big automobile factories
double and treble their outputs and
utilize more and more
Heather, the probabilities of possible
shortage grow imminent.
u Few persons realize" Commercial
Manager ". A. Hawkins, of the Ford
Motor company. remarked the other
dasv sshow much leather is required
|durifig the course of a year by a con-
lcern 4arc-sfze Of the Ford Motor COM
Zpany.
"If takes approximately two hides
10 furnish the leather for the uphol-
|sfering in one Ford car. Think what
|t;,is means. The skins of four head
~ cattle are needed to upholster two
cars
During the season Just past the
Ford Motor company built more than
mails were skinned to furnish hides
for this company alone.
This year the Ford company has
made preparation to build 100000
cars Then an even 400, 900 animals
will have to donate their skins before
the manufacturing season closes"
"rf the demand for hides continues
to mount with the outputs OF the au-
tomobiIe factories, there may be a
time when 1t will pay TO false cattle
for their skins alone" some Of the
automobile builders say jestingly. But
in the jest there is food for serious
thought.
In connection with the uphoisterirg
of a car there is another problem
which eventually may become serious,
that of supplying the hair for stuffing
the interior of the cushions and backs.
AS an example of just what demand
IA the requirements of the Ford COM
pany will again furnish q good idea.
The uphoissering in every Ford car
contains thirty pounds of hair. Ac-
cordingfy it will take 100000 pounds
or 3.Do0 tons of hair to upholster this
company's output during the season
@tIsI2-1913.
