HEAVY REACTION IN.
 THE COTTON MARKET
Four of the RevOlts at Wilhelm. shaven, One at Sea-Kaiser Orders That One, Out of Seven Mutineers Be Shot.

Amsterdam, Oct. 10.-A mutiny among the crews of four battleships of the German fleet has occurred at Wilhelmshaven. One of these battle ships was the Westfalen, whose cap tain was thrown overheard and drowned. The crews landed. Marines refused to fire on them, whereupon soldiers surrounded the sailors, who surrendered.
 A mutiny also occurred on the Ger man war ship Nurnberg, which was at sea. The men seized the ojcers and proceeded in the direction of Norway, with the intention of being interned. The Nurnberg was overtaken by de- stroyers and forced to surrender.
 Emperor William went to Wilhelm shaven and ordered that one out of every seven mutineers be shot. Chan cellor Michaelis protested, with the result that only three were shot. Heavy sentences were imposed on the others.
 The chancellor's objections to the emperor's order that one mutineer in every seven be shot was on the ground that he could not assume such responsibility before the reichstag. One of the reasons for the mutiny was I bad and inadequate food.
 The Westfalen is a battleship of 1S,600 tons built in 1906. The Nurn- berg is new vessel, not listed in the latest naval records to reach this country. She is namesake of the cruiser Nurnberg, sunk by the British in the battle off the Falkland Islands in December, 1914.
 In a speech in the Reichstag regard ing the plot discovered in the German navy, Wilhelm Dittman, Socialist member, said the punishments infict- ed on men in the navy for the mutiny at Wilhelmshaven amounted collec- lively to 200 years penal servitude and that several men had been condemned to death.

The First Atlas.

The first modern atlas was the work
Of Abraham Ortelius, Dutch geogra-
pher, who died 51S years ago. His
monumental treatise, entitled The
atrum Orbis Terrarum," was first pub
hshed at Antwerp in 1870 and was re-
vised and reissued five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was a folio
volume containing nearly a husdred
maps, representing the different coun-
ries and continents as they were then
known. Although this atlas was a
momentous achievement, yet bright
schoolboy today could draw maps from
memory with better approximation
to correctness. Even England and
Scotland appear in this pioneer volume
with amazing distortions of coast line
and relative area, and many other
maps in the volume bear only a slight
resemblance to those of today-New
York World.

Farmer GETS DAMAGES
IN sum or s325

The circuit court jury at Waukesha
in the case Of William j. Reese VS..
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Rail-
wal company, awarded the plaintiff
S325.50 damages. The plaintiff
charged that his sleigh became fast
ened in the tracks of the defendant
company at Ixonia, Jefferson county,
and that it was struck by train trav-
cling fifty miles an hour, on Feb. %.
1915. He asked $4,000 damages.
charging that agents of the road had
been negligent in removing planks
from the crossing. In awarding dam
ages the jury took into consideration
the damages done to the sleigh, milk
cans and harness.
The plaintiff alleged that his sleigh
became caught within the tracks of
the defendant company at Ixonia, JEFF
ferson county, and that it was struck
by train. He further charges that
agents of the road had removed
planks from between the tracks, MAX
ing the crossing defective; that a
curve in the track near the crossing
made the place dangerous, and that
the locomotive did not give warning
when it approached. He asked dam
ages for injuries to himself, horses,
and damage to his sleigh, harness and
eight milk cans. The defendant COM
pany denied all Of the allegations re
latlng to it's alleged negligence.

An Ant That Spins

The spinning ant is found in India,
In Ceylon, in the islands of Malacca
and in Australia. This ant weaves its
nest between two leaves of tree.
preferably the mango 1t begins to
build or to weave by drawing two
leaves together. To do this it runs a
line of its working material--material
similar to the spiders thread-the
length of the leaf and around it. While
at work it clings to the leaf with its
nails and at the same time draws on
the leaf nearest to it with it's mandi-
bles. Sometimes the two leaves suit
able for nest building are too far apart:
then the builder calls In its fellow
ants, and they help to form a chain.
Each ant clings to the waist of its
neighbor by its mandibIes. Thus en-
chained, they work to build the nest
of their comrade.

early lambs should be weaned now,
and the cOrnfield makes a cOnveH-
lent place to turn them. Some care
must be exercised In getting them used
to the new feed, and it would be better
to turn them in only an hour or so at
time at first, lengthening the time
until there is no further danger.
A Shawnee county farmer having a
small flock told us last summer that
his cornfelds that season were the
wonder Of passersby, says the Kan
sas Farmer. They could not under
stand how he had kept his corn SC
clean in so wet a year. His lambs did
the work, and they not only kept the
fields clean Of grass and weeds. but
made some splendid gains.
Que should not get the idea that
sheep are never to be fed anything
but weeds. If they are considered
only as scavengers they probably will
not be as successfully kept as if they
are given a fair chance with other
farm animals No other animals, how

Of weeds, and lambs are the only ami

Lambs can also be used to harvest the
waste in stubble fields and along road
Sides
There is no more convenient source
of fresh meat on the farm in the sum-
mer season than the lamb. They fur
nish two crops-both wool and meat.
Some think sheep are subject to numer-
Gus diseases, but packing house sta
tistics show that the percentage of
sheep condemned is less than that Of
any other animals.
Thirty or forty ewes can easily be
kept on the average farm without
having to reduce the other stock. We
know of such flock where this years
wool brought $131. The owner of the
flock insists that his sheep have never
cost a cent. Everything they have
produced has been clear profit.

That Indefinite Article.

The rule dealing with the indefinite
article preceding words commencing
with "u' (when pronounced 'yu'D does
not appear to be an adamantine one.
Like Macaulay, with his fOndness for
AN university, many of our best
writer's and speakers prefer to ignore
the rule and back their fancy In this
little question of euphony AS for the
man in the street, the matter has long
ago been settled in favor of "a" in all
cases where the initial "u' has the
'yu' sound, partly no doubt because
such phrases as IAN united people do
not come trippingly off the tongue and
have an old fashioned, pedantic flavor
And there are sensitive ears that will
prefer "a unique to the more studied

Almost Immediately Robert w.
PauPs manufacture OF the Edison
kaleidoscope, made possible by the
American inventors neglect to protect
his device by an English patent, deyel-
oped into tremendous business ven
ture. However it was far from being
all smooth sailing 1t had its ups and
downs and more than once was on the
thin edge OF failure. 1t was probably
these vicissitudes that cooled the ar
dor of the two Greeks, who first carr
led the Kinetescope to England. In
any event they made an early exit and
Paul occupied the stage by himself.
The greatest problem that Paul had
TO face, even after he had developed
a world market for his machine, reach
ing ever to New Zealand, Japan and
South America, was that of film sup
ply For this he was dependent en-
tirely on the output of BLACK Marie"
the fantastic name by which Edisons
first crude motion picture studio was
known.
Finally two agents of this first
American producer, who had secured
the exclusive control of both his Kline
toscope and his film for the European
market, conceived what they believed
10 be a brilliant idea. They would
obviate the neglected English patent
procedure by refusing to sell film for
any machine other than that of Edi-
sons own make.
This was quite enough to cause Paul
CONSERVATION It threatened not only
TO despoil his future trade, but also to
work irreparable hardships upon his

| that suggested itself was the invention
on his own part, of motion picture
camera and the manufacture of his
own pictures. He had no model to go

pertinent, was eventually successful.
However, the quest, including the
manufacture of several Intellectual de-
vices before he finally hit upon the
practical one, ate up the larger part of
| the shall fortune he had made from
/ his previous sale of Microscopes.
AS future events proved, it was, in
spite of its temporary hazard, a prof
table investment principally because
| ais successful invention Of a camera
gave Paul a zest for further expert
ments. Long before this it had oc-
cured to the LOndoner that a motion
