Queer Creatures.

There are microscopic creatures which
live in roof cutters and on the bark OF
trees and are known as water bears
and wheel animalculae If allowed to
dry up under the microscope they can
be seen to shrivel into shapeless mass
es, which may be kept for years unin-
jured in the dried state. On being
placed, after this long interval, In wa
ter they gradually plump up, resume
their proper shape and move about In
search Of food just as II nothing had
happened. Much the same is true for
the minute worms which, from the
substances in which they live, are
known as paste and vinegar eels.-

COTTON CROPS REPORTED
IN UNFW0RABLE CONDITION
RECENT RAINS FAILED TO PUT
NEW FRUIT ON STALKS,
WEEVILS ACTIVE.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. LITTLE
cotton crop failed to make normal
progress during the past fortnight,
according to reports of correspond
ea.s cf the Commercial Appeal
There was some ground lost, as a
result of shedding, following the
heavy rains of two weeks ago, and
the increased activity of the boil
weevil, which have widened their
field of operations to include por-
tions of Southern Georgia.
There are a few good reports
where progress is noted and a good
yield seems to be indicated, but
these are in the minority. As a
whole picking to date indicates that
the yield is to be shorter than gem
orally expected a month or two
ago. The failure of the rains of
late August to cause the plant to
take on new fruit is probably the
most conspicuous feature of the en-
tire report But there appears to
have been no beneficial results from
the rains, except such as may have
accrued from the filling out of inn
mature bolls.
Picking is more or less general
in most of the belt. Labor is plenti.
full and the crop is being harvested
as rapidly as it opens. In Oklaho.
ma, however, the crop is very late
and little progress in picking has
been made.
