 The epidemic of cotton fires in Bombay last spring is the subject of m interesting report that we have received from MT. Purushottamdas rhakurdas, who was one of a commit tee appointed by the East Indian Gov ernment to investigate the circum- stances connected with the numerous fires that occurred on the "Cotton Green" at Calaba. The report is very complete and is almost equal to a moving picture of the way cotton is handled in Bombay.
 Some of the unique theories put for ward to explain the frequent recur- renee of the fires are enumerated as follows
 1. The wrath of God.
 ?. The maledictions of an evict- ed Sadhu.
 8. Wireless telegraphy.
 1. Atmospheric electricity.
 5. The violet rays of the solar spectrum.
 6. Grease from cart wheels, at taching by michance to the outside of bales.
 '. The watering of cotton at presses up-country. s. The germination of cotton seeds, left in the cotton owing to bad ginning.
 9. The heating of the hoops which bind the bales and the friction of one against another. 10. The use of sea water to extin- guish fires. Ii. A sinister conjunction of plan cts.
 None of these explanations seem ed to appeal to the committee, how ever, and they Automatically hint that the declining market may have had something to do with the fires, because the cotton belonged to buy CTS who were carrying it on what is

The Association also voted in favor of the Poland China hog as best adapted to this To- cality; the Association voted unani- mously in favor of asking our repre- sentatives to have a law enacted in our next legislature to prohibit the running at large of any male ami nal and to have Nevada county plac- ed above the quarantine line or in compulsory dipping district
 The present officers were elected for the ensuing year, and also the ex- cutive committee which is composed of the President and Secretary with the addition of three others as fol lows J. U.
