Misspehed Words.

Seven out of every 100 third grade
public school children in the United
States cannot spell the word has,
according to a report just compiled
by DR.. Leonard P. Ayres, of the Rus.
sell Sage Foundation, on the special
problems inherent in the teaching OF
spelling. DR.. Ayres's study also
brought out many other photographic
oddities.
DR.. Ayres selected the 1000 words
that constitute 80 per cent. of the
language ordinarily used. This Sc
lection was made from various Eng
lish authors, from four Sunday news
papers of Buffalo, N. Y, and from the
business and family correspondence
of more than 1000 adults.
Cooperating with the school super
intendents in eighty-four cities of the
United States, DR.. Ayres had the l.
600 commonest words tested by an
aggregate of 100000 spellings, Sc
cured from 10000 public school chill
dren.
Nine words of most frequent use,
viz, "the," "in," "so,' mo- now
man." "ten," "bed," "top,' revealed
that second grade pupils on an av-
erage spelled correctly 81 per cent. of
these words. At the other extreme
of the scale of words Judgment" "
recommend" and "allege' were
found to be spelled correctly by just
so per cent. of eighth grade pupils.
DR.. Ayres finds: There are very
few exceedingly poor spoilers, many
medium ones, and very few excellent
ones. Few words do most of our
work when we write. Fifty words
constitute, with their repetitions, one
half of the words written. The child
who masters the 900 words on the
scale given will make no spelling er-
rors in nine-tenths of his writing"

Shot Entering Store.

Jim Red, Ernest McGrier and Eu-
gene Lipford, negroes, are under ar
rest charged with entering the store
of w. T. Fuller, merchant of Brad
ley, Greenwood county, and stealing
goods therefrom. The store owner
having missed goods on several oc-
casions, set a gun at the door fixed
in such a manner as to be discharg-
ed when the door was opened. AT
the time of the last robbery the gun
was discharged but there was no evi-
dence of the guilty parties. A rural
policeman noticing the negro, Jim
Red, limping several days later, be-
came suspicious, and examining the
negros leg found toar shots in it.

Growing Black Cotton.

Arthur W. Brabham, the farmer OF
Bamberg county, S. c., who recently
got his name in the papers through
the claim that he is succeeding in
growing cotton in all the shades OF
the spectrum, figures in The Manu-
facturers Record, J. Irby Koon under
taking to en1ighten the public as to
the progress being made at dyeing
cotton as it grows in the boil. Brab-
ham has been experimenting for sew
eral years. His chief objective, we
are told by Mr.. Koon, is to produce
black cotton. "A distinctly bronzed
tint has been realized by six years
of systematic cross-fertilization OF
the Egyptian brown with the Russell
big boil, variety common to South
Carolina plantations" says Mr.. Koon.
Continuation of this plan, the Bam-
berg county plant breeder is conf
dent, will bring the hybrid black.
which he regards as the missing link
in the basic colors of his cotton
scheme. y Brabham's plan of pro-
cedure is simple, but slow in ultimate
attainment EARLY in the day,
writes Mr.. Koon, when the blossom
first opens wide, the pollen is shaken
from the bloom of one variety into
! the bloom of another. The fertilized
bloom is then tied up that bees may
not infect. Though white the first
day, the blooms turn pink and drops
the following day, so that the opera
ton is as brief as it is simple. The
Egyptian cotton used as one basic
stock is a broWnish hue. The Rus
sell big boil, on which it is crossed,
enlarges the Egyptian boil and adds
quality to the length of the fibre.
,, The seed of the Russell also has a
blanket wrapped about of exceeding
ly short, greenish, fuzzlike fibre. The
elongation of this has had a distinct
effect in producing the bronzed type
of hybrid cotton" We are told that
one large cotton factory in New Eng
land has an eye on Brabham's expert
mentations, and is making elaborate
tests with the Brabham cotton in the
manufacture of merceriZed goods.
Brabham, who seems to be pretty
much O. historian on cotton, is in
couraged by the fact that even now
four distinct tints are being grown
in different parts of the world. He
showed Mr.. Koon samples of Chinese
yellow cotton grown from seed i'm
ported from the Far East Flanking
the fence parallel with the road by
his home grew Egyptian brown Of
luxuriant growth, we'll fruited with
shapely bolls, as if perfectly ac-
climated. He further emphasized
that gray cotton is grown in India,
varieties similar to the Egyptian in
Peru and Hawaii and South America,
and a reddish-hued cotton also in
Peru The Observer, always a pa
tron of the sciences and the arts, is
a. firm believer in the coming Of black
cotton. Nature grows a perfectly
black wool on the backs of sheep.

black cotton in the fields of the

Indian Names
 In Alaska

Now that there is talk of holding
 an election to decide the name of
 the town at Anchorage, an explan-
 ation of some of the names in that section may be of interest. The following definitions and ex. plantations were given to the Dis patch by . man who has spent mary years of his life in that sect. ion and who talks the native ian- guage fluently.
 Matahuska is a pick up word, having no meaning in the Indian language, and no one seems to know from whence it originated. The native name for the Matanuska River is Chatonkna, meacing the swift running river. The syllable Ina" in the native language means river and the lest of the word desig- mates the special one as Chitina. which is the name for the Copper River, Chit meaning where copper is found, and the resi- of. the word designating river.
 The native name for the knik Is the Skidina, or the Tent River, de- irving its name from the fact that the natives maintained a tehporary camp at the mouth of this river.
 Manana means the River of Tray el, in other words it was a summer road Of trail for the natives with their canoes, and in winter was their trail over the ice. e.-Dispatch: l
