NEW ORLEANS ALSO . BREAKS ON REPORT Unexpected Bearish Figures Bring 35-Point Drop in
 Active Months

New Orleans, July 1.-The unexpected bearish showing of the governments re- ports on acreage and conditions caused a
 sensational slump in the cotton market , here today, the most active months break ing 35 to 36 points, or practically S2 a bale. The increase in acreage of 121 per cent, exceeded average expectations of around 8 to g per cent, and the condition of the crop on June 25 of S1.1 exceeded average expectations ranging from 76 to 79. Except for a few minutes immed- lately following the reading of the re-
 ports the market was only moderately active, as much evening up of both long and short commitments had been accom- plished during the week.
 Around the opening the market rose 3 to points and a little later the rise widened to to points. Most traders appeared to expect rather bullish figures from the department. At 10 o'clock when the statistics were issued the market stood to 8 points over yesterdays close. October immediately lost 15 points and soon the entire list commenced to fall away. Within half an hour after the re- ceipt of the reports the market had lost 35 to 36 points. The reaction of conse- quence followed the break and the close believe the reliable reports from the south during the past month as to the condition of the crop and as a conse- quence we find the speculative long in- terest not yet liquidated facing a condi- tion above the 10-year average The great question now is whether the south will begin to sell against it's crop next week, and whether the long interests will wait developments of weather conditions in July before attempting to liquidate If the south begin to sell or the long in- terest to liqudate, we shall have lower prices as there is nothing in the situa- ton from an early peace point of view or crop conditions at the moment to in- duce the manufacturer to buy against
 forward sales or for the investor to en- ter the market.

Of the object lens in the surveyors
telescope, states a writer in a recent
issue Of the New York American.
Spider web is the only suitable ma
terial yet discovered for the cross
hairs of surveying instruments. AL
most invisible as this fiber is to the
naked eye it is brought up in the
powerful lenses of the telescope to
the size of a mans thumb, so that all
defects, if there happened to be any,
would be magnified to such a degree
that the web would be useless
Human hair has been tried but when
magnified it has the apparent dimen-
sions of rough-hewn lamp-post
Moreover, human hair is transparent,
and cross hairs must be opaque.
The spiders produce during a two
months spinning season thousands
of yards Of web, which is wound upon
metal frames and stored away until
needed.
A spider at work" bangles in the
air by it's invisible thread, the upper
end being attached to a metal wire
frame whirled in the hands of a girl.
The girl first places the spider on
her hand until the protruding end of
the thread has become attached.
When the spider attempts to leap to
the ground this end is quickly attach
ed to the center of the whirling frame,
and as the spider pays out thread
this line is wrapped around the frame.
Several hundred feet of thread can be
removed from spider OF one time.
The spiders are kept in large room
under the supervision of three girls
and fOreWomen When not spinn-
ing the little workmen are placed in
large wooden cage. Files are the
chief article of diet
During the winter months the spider
colony usually dies, so that entirely
new corps of wOrkmen must be re-
cruited. Not every spider will do
only large fat fellows that spin
tough, round thread are suitable.
Singularily enough the girls who

glish factory are not the least afraid
of them or their bites. On the con-
trary they regard them as pets, are
able to tell them apart and to call
them by nicknames which humOrously

peculiar habits of work.-"Our Dumb

The use of the copper coins has in

PLUG THE LEAK.

1854 400 is wasted each year in the
city schools of Wisconsin through
non-p promotion of school children.
Eight per cent of the yearly expenses
in the public schools goes to educat-
ing repeaters. Fifty-three per cent,
or more than one-half of all children
in Wisconsin schools are over age for
the grade in which they are working.
Five out of every eight children who
enter the first grade drop out before
the completion of the eighth.
These statements are contained in a
bulletin, Suggestive Studies to School

tendent of Public Instruction c. P.

of Wisconsin cause for thought.
Doubtless lack of home cooperation,
poor teaching, and poverty which
leads children to leave school to go
to work, are responsible in part, but

public health movement, to which
communities, organizations, and in
dividuals are giving increasing atten-
ton each year, by the appointment of
delegates to the Annual Meeting Of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which will be held in Milwaukee
Friday and Saturday, Nov. Oath and
25th. Practically every municipality
in the state will be officially repre-
scented in the delegation which will
meet in Milwaukee to discuss more
intensive campaign against tubercu-
losiS and all preventable disease and
an extension of the organized forces,
such as open air schools, community
nurses, and health measures which are
as important to the general physical
welfare of the community as they are
to its protection against specific di-
sease foes, such as tuberculosis.
The action of the various cities in
appointing delegates to the meeting is
especially fitting in view of the fact

citation eight years ago was the full
fillment of promise made to the vari-
Gus Wisconsin cities which invoIuntar-

welfare, school health and sanitation.

activity by which the economic cost
and the sorrow caused by preventable
disease and death may be cut down
and which are closely allied with the
campaign against tuberculosis.
In connection ewith the annual meet
ing, the general sessions of which will
be held on Friday, there will be spec
ial conferences for public health nur-
ses, for visiting nurse associations
and club women interested in promot-
ing the visiting nurse movement, for
sanatorium superintendent and trus-
tees, and for medical men on the dag

Again, the avenues which should
form the natural approach to the
child's mind may be blocked. Defects
such as adenoids, diseased tOnsils, i'm

many of the failures and repeaters.
Even a thing, so lightly regarded by
most parents, as defective teeth has
it's part in dragging down the school
child Decaying and unclean teeth
pollute the blood and lower the vital
ity of the child who is required to
absorb their drainage.
The child who fails, the child who
must repeat the same grade twice or
more times, the child who drops out
of school before completing the eighth
grade, frequently will be found to be
physically disabled.
To save money, to permit our school
system to fulfill its high purpose, to
protect and nourish instead of MAIN
ing childhood, why may not parents
demand that greater attention be paid
to physical fitness? A we'll mind can
not exist in sick body. Compulsory
