Romance of Cotton.

The report that cotton has been dis
covered growing wild, in what was be
lieved to be an Australian desert,
opens vast possibilities Of new for
tunes. The history of cotton is strewn
with FL Dorados-except for some OF
those inventors whose ingenious ma
chimes of the eighteenth century have
made riches for modern Lancashire.
Arkwright is the most conspicuous in
stance of reward following merit. Most
of them, like Hargraves, died in pow
erty. 1t is only in our own times that
vast fluctuations In the price of cot
ton have taken, place, and that, of
course. is due to the amazing ingenw-
ty of the men who made the human
tllke machines that now do the work
of thousand men. When machinery
was first applied in Britain one OF
these more fortunate inventors boast
ed that he had reduced the price of q
specially fine kind of cotton from 500
to "a for a quantity sufficient to make
a Iady's dress. We need him now.

is CITY OF CONTRADICTIONS
Irkutsk, Metropolis of Siberia, "Forty
Hours From Anywhere" Remark
able for Its PecuIiarities.

Irkutsk IS 40 hours from anywhere,
figuratively; five days from Petro-
grad, literally, in the best of times,
and much further, in fact, from the
Russian capital than is San Francisco
from New York. The Siberian metrop-
oils, too far removed to suffer more
than pin pricks from the world war,
finally fell to the bolsheviki.
Among Siberian cities, Irkutsk is
noted for it's churches, Orphanages,
hospitals. schools, observatOries and
museums" Gen. A. w. Greedy wrorte
after a visit to it about ten years ago.
1T is a city of imposing buildings,
beautiful homes, and.i given to lavish
hospitality, while its extended bust
ness operations are supplemented by
all modern municipal equipment, in
Guiding telephony and efficient fire
service.
ut must be added that it has In
summer nearly impossible streets.
that the prevalence of unpublished
crimes is notorious, while it is said
by free-speaking Russians that the In
efficiency of the police is only sur
passed by the corruption of its Off
Gals"
The city's normal population is about
that of Omaha, Neb., according to a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society, which adds:
"Irkutsk had its beginning from the
station established there in 1862 for
the collection of a fur tax from the
Buriats. This curious people still
dwellS in the Baikal region. In them,
ut would seem, the chronological east
and west almost meet. Their bust
ness is akin to the herdsmen of our
own western plains; their appearance,
with shaven heads and pigtails, like
|. that of the Chinese. In winter they
| dress like EskimOs, with sheepskihs
end furs; their summer attire is the
oriental gown of silk and cotton.
'The horses the Buriats raise fig
ure in the religion they cling to most
tenaciously. This religion calls for
! sacrifice of the favorite steed at the
owners grave. The less faithful
among the heirs, though, have been
known to tie an animal with a tether
so frayed that the horse soon broke
away to join the herd.
Zone of the peculiar customs which
the traveller encountered at Irkutsk be
fore the war was the closing of the
railway ticket Office for the sale OF
tickets t%o days prior to the depart
ura of a train. He was not expected

Gibraltar seems TO fulfill all the con-
ditions of desirable residence" for
war-impoverished people. There are
no taxes, except on alcoholic liquors
and tobacco, and the revenue, mainly
derived from customs and port dues,
shows a handsome balance on the
right side. The colony has no public
debt, and the prosperity of its inhabi.
