GOOD COTTON TALK
Predicts That September Report Will
Be 1000, 900 Bale.

New Orleans, Aug. 25.-The fear
Of cheap cotton has been lifted from
the south. Although it is predicted
that the government will estimate
the yield in the neighborhood of. T.
100000 bales September /, shrink
age of 100000 bales within a
months time, this is viewed with sat-
isfaction because it is felt that the
price of cotton is assured for the next
two years by the shortage Of produc-
ton. When sp;nners refused to take
last years crop, growers were forced
to curtail this years production by
cutting cotton acreage one-third. This
land was planted in foodstuffs and is
furnishing the southern people with
a greater variety Of food products
than they. ever have had before Cot
ton shortage, increased by weather.

a price advance of SIS bale and
the government plan to aid producll:
ers is sustaining the market. =. :a,>:
Business conditions, which began
to improve with the rise, in agricul-
tural products, continue to grow bet
ter. Some wholesalers report that
they have done the best business
during the buyers convention in
progress, this week, since the boom
days Of the war period. Retail trade
has fallen off in the neighborhood
of 1s per cent this month, but this
is due to the unusually hot weather
and not to changes in local condi-
tions.

First Magic Lantern.

Fakers in the old days were no less
quick than their present brethren to
take advantage of scientific discover
les to fool the public In 1916, one
Athanasius Kircher announced to the
few German scientists of his day that
he had discovered an instrument which
would throw large pictures Of any
drawing or painting placed on 1t. upon
q white screen. He wrote quite
treatise on this first magic lantern
and called it the Arm Magma Lucis
ct Umbrae."
From scientific point of view
Kirchers discovery did not make a
very deep impression. But half a
dozen travelling magicians some
how or other got hold Of copies Of
the first magic lantern. They trav-
eled far and wide through the coun.
try. and they not only scared the
peasants and small-town peoples out
of their wits, but by making
speciality Of showing pictures of the
devil, OF poor souls frying in purga-
tory and other unpleasant subjects,
they collected considerable sums in
return for the promise to keep these
evil spirits out of the homes of their
victims.

Disease With Use Of Blood
From the Horse.

"Bleeders," as they are called, gen.
orally come Of families with a history
of bleeding. Such sufferers are rare
ly cured. But DR.. p. Emile-Well of
Paris reports in a bulletin Of the
Societe MedIcale des Hopitaux the sue
cess he has had with his trea tment Of
the disease, which is called hemophilia.
He relates the case Of child of
seven, pronounced bleeder, belong
ing to one OF the classic bleeder fami-
lies that have been written up in
medical annals since the Eighteenth
century. He gave the boy an injec-
tiOn of 20 cubic centimetres Of normal
horse serum-that is, horses blood
with the cOrpuscles extracted-every
second month until fifteen injections
had been given. The tendency to
hemorrhage seemed to be arrested,
and after seven years there has been
no sign of Its recurrence.
Previous to this Doctor Well had
treated seven cases Of familiar hemo-
philia with such injections, all Of them
successfully, but he never regarded
case as wholly cured until that of this
boy. But the fact that he has been
free from bleeding for seven years in
dicates at least that this disease ia
curable
