TAUET 01 Eft attSMB SMOKES K i.hmMIm R?turnina from j : wvivimiiv w Alaska Has a Lot 'of Data That is Kxpactsd to Throw Light on Sub* jeots of, Puzzling SpscuJations. [ Early In October a scientific expedition will arrive in Seattle, Washington, from Alaska,' which will bring , back Information tending to throw additional light on the dark spot of modem science?what composes the Inside of the earth. Announcement is made by the National Geographic Society from Its heattquarters at Washington, that the sixth lit Katmal expedition of The Society is preparing to sail from Kqdtek: island after many months pent in fruitful scientific study, of the unique and spectacular natural phe' ir.ll.,, ? mroenon. Kjwwn us .iIM; ?aiic.> v ?.?? Thousand Smokee, at the foot of the liR&tte Mt KMmal rolcano. Not only ha* the expedition, headed by Dr. Robert TP. Griggs. acoqimUated an amount of Bcientiflo data beyond happiest anticipation, but according to a telegraphic repprt to The Society, a One harbor, not previously known, has been found which affords a feasible route to this region of. the innumerable vents of various kinds which spurt streams and vapors of almost unbelievable temperatures. The discovery of the harbor is considered of marked Interest because President Wilson has proclaimed the j region of Ten Thousand Smokes a national, monument, and it will not be long before this new federal reservation will be visited by -tourists who wish to view a spectacle no less awe inspiring than the spouting geysers and. other natural wonders of our own National parks. "But the primary interest of this region, to tbe civilised world, will be the unequalled opportunity it affords for penetrating some of the hidden secrets beneath the surface of the globe on which we dwell," says a bul let in from the National Geographic Society. "We laugh at the child who says the moon, is made of green cheese; but the child, noight smile at us if he would but ask, What is the earth made of?* 'Though science has penetrated to the infinitesimal secrets of the invisible atom, and it has reached to other solar, systems so far out in the universe that we know about stars from which it takes the light 5,000 years to travel to this earth, its penetration of the inner earth is no deeper, comparatively, than a pin scratch on the ' .coVer of a mammoth balloon. "The anciente thought the way to learn the myBtlries of what llesj under. our foet was to dig deeper,' and eV^F deeper, but we know now that even modern engineering which can pierce the mountains and burrow under rivers can not penetrate deeply enough to tall much of Mother Earth. "In such phenomena as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and geysers lie the key to the hitherto hidden secrets a.<-- . - ?. .? . ? 07 tne glODO. ll nas ueen vmauuanvu that the hissing, steaming, exploding acreg that seem like a multi-magnified depot yard of mongul engines is a modern example of what the geysers P. of Yellowstone National Park once were. "The vastneee and intensity of tb^ molten mass which spits the vapors of this terrifying valley is indicated by the discovery of new high temperatures amoftg the fumaroles. Early pgfties were not equipped to measure the) unexpected heat of some of the fumaroles. Dr. Griggs wires that the hottest ones have Just been found, where the highest temperature was 1, 191.Z degrees, ianrenneu, anu mm many of the escaping vapors klndlo wood Into a blaze as readily as a match burns when struck. "Besides chemists, petrographers, zoologists, and botanists, the expedition this summer marked a departure in scientific explorations of this kind "Hjy having along motion picture photographers. Ten thousand filmed feet of the spectacle which words can not . picture are being brought back to be shown to members of The Society. "Another finding of popular interest was the discovery of a region north of the National Monument reservation which not only Is one of great naturnl beauty, but abounas in nsn ana game. "The study of the economic side of this hitherto unknown region was not neglected. Dr. Griggs is shipping to Washington botanical and zoological material as well as specimens of plants and animals found about Mt. Katmai." '/ BRITISH COTTON SUPPLIES. , r Stocks on Hand are Very Small According to Official Information. Present socks of raw cotton in the hands of British spinners are very small, probably no mill having a supply for more than two or three weeks ahead, according to a report from the American agricultural trade commissioner at London on the cotton situation in the United Kingdom. Labor conditions and the high pride of cotton, together with the uncertainly ui cAcnange aiiu liueisii markets, and. the difficulty of obtaining bottoms for deliveries of manufactured products, have made the spinners cautious. Few or none of, them have large supplies "at their mills. Where spinners have bought ahead they have been content, on account of transportation and other difficulties, to leave their stocks in the large public and private warehouses. It is inevitable that the general labor unrest apparent in all industrial * ^ *V? V1/W"' ?'V* i lines should have its effect on the cotton workers. An investigation indicates that at present the relations between the master spinner and his (employes are in better shape than in otba:- industries. In ' Manchester there is an unanimous desire to get industries on a satisfactory, footing. The recent cotton strike, which was settled by an agreement between the parties, was settled with a view to a permanent working relation between employer and employe, and resulted in a permanent and satisfactory arrangement more than covering the coming cotton year. No furthor labor trouble in the. cotton industry is looked for. There is no reason to fear any diminution of production for lack of orders. While the cotton in* dustry is at peace with*1 itself, it is stilt dependent on the coal industry. Coal production is low, and therefore, a.coal famine, which would result In the stoppage of the Manchester industries, Is feared. ' DISTRESS COTTON MARKET. Corporations Being Formed to Pro* teet Minimum Price. Columbia Sept. 19^-Corporatlons are being formed by the 6otton association In many counties of South Carolina for the purpose of buying up all of the "distress" cotton offered On the market. In some of the counties the preliminary steps looking to the formation of these corporations have already been taken. In others meetings have been called for the purpose. At a rousing meeting of-the Orangeburg association a committee composed of some of the leading farmers, merchants and bankers was appointed to perfect the organization of the corporation. L. D. T.nninm xhairman for Sumter county, has called a meeting of the citizens of Surrter for Saturday at noon to arrange for the organization of such a corporation in the county. In Issuing the call he says that twenty men in thai county haVe already subscribed $100 to help purchase cotton. "The necessary organization must- be perfected without further delay to keep our cotton out of the hands tif the cotton speculators and spinners until they are willing to pay the pHce fixed by the association," ' says Mr. Jennings. "The kind of co-operation and organization is being completed in practically, every independent and progressive county in the southern cotton state and every county- should of necessity not lose a minute unnecessarily in completing its plans to get the benefits of, living price for. our cotton. Every-day lost means many bales soldjtP-Jthe speculators and spinners for le?3 than the minimum price fixed by our association.' We must positively keep the! cotton out of the hands of:our. enemies unless they pay the minimum price, otherwise all our efforts will have been In vain. Membership hi the American Cotton association and money coupled up wijh active cooperation of a de tecminea ana permanem uiiarntm auu united*.. ?work.. in av*U( community, toWnshlp/'dounty fcntf state are now essential to success. Every Individual is needed in the ranka This is no time for slackers and traitors among us." B. F. McLdod, state manager of the South Carolina Cotton association, said today that it was highly Important that the membership campaign of the Cotton association be pushed in every county in order that plans may be made in all'of the counties for taking caro of the distress cotton. He says that the success of the movement to save the distress cotton is dependent on the success of membership campaign of the South Carolina Cotton association. >. ?
