COTTON PICKI Tl toy are Suro to Con A cottou picking machine that ap pears to hav J sonic inerit, wan recently exhibited in Houston, Texan. Thc following account of thc machine and it? inventor appears in the Houston J'osl, a reliable and able journul : A cotton picking machine, or a cot ton harvester, was exhibited near Houston yesterday, and competent judges who witnessed its work state that it comes nearer taking the place of human fingers than anything of the kind ever before seen. The inventor of tim; machine is Mr. (Jeorge S. Lee, of Hawthorne, N. J. He has experimented with it several times recently in New York, hut de cided that a thorough test in an actual cotton field was needed, and that Texas was the place for such a trial. LVior to his departure for Houston, Mr. Lee had formed thc acquaintance of Messrs. Krank Cargill and K. lt. Richardson of thc linn of Cargill oe Richardson, and at their solicitation agreed to exhibit his cotton picker near the city. Sotne twelve or fifteen gentlemen were invited to witness tho harvester at work, and a cotton farm about three j miles from thc city was selected for j the test. In tho party were Mesara. I W. H. Read, C. II. Lucy, (i. W. Kidd, i B. W. Hunter. R. L. Neill, I?. W. ? Martin, G. W. Kidd, Jr., B. R. Rich ardson, Dr. J. J). Mcgregor, Mr. Cal houn and others. When thc field was reached, Mr. Lee and his assistants 'had the cotton harvester in position and ready for gathering the staple The machine is about thirty inches wide and six feet in length. It is in tended to bo pulled by a mule or large horse, and goon between thc rows of cotton. Extending from each side and behind are long rubber arms in the form of hose, which arc used to draw ont the cotton. Thc harvester ia run by gasoline, and suction is gen erated by an exhaust fan to take thc cotton from tho bolls. Kach arm of hose is handled by one person, who merely applies the suction pipe to the opened boll of cotton-and tho ma chine does the rest. One harvester can have anywhere from eight to twenty-one arms, and will employ just that many men. Each hose, accord ing to the inventor's statement, can pull nt least 1.000 pounds of cotton a day, consequently a machine with fourteen anus would do thu work of seventy men, estimating the average picking by baud at 200 pounds daily. A? tho cotton is drawft through the pipes it paspps tho cxhauat fa" ?nd falls into a largo wiro rcceptablo, each seed and the lint surrounding it drop ping out together. The suction takes in every little trash, and when handled properly nothing but tho chiton itself Would ever leave thc stalk. Thc great disadvantage of all ootton picking ma- j ohinoa heretofore invented has been j their inability to gnthor the cotton without taking part of the boll, dead leaves, trash, etc, which naturally ?ade the cotton dirty and of low grade when ginned. Mr. Lee's machine is not perfect by any meaus, but he has certainly de monstrated the feasibility of gather ing cotton by suction. This was shown to the satisfaction of all wit nesses yesterday, despite tho fact that the mechanical part of the harvester was not in good working order. "I simply wanted to demonstrate the principle," said Mr. Lee, in speak ing of the experiment. "If tho theory ts correct it will be very easy for me to improve and develop the mechani cal details. I already have fifty idets in my head for the improvement and reconstruction of tho various parts of thc harvester, auu it was mainly for this that I brought my machine to Texas. You must remember that this is the first one I have constructed, and that it is naturally in a crude form. Every part of it can bo mado lighter, the arms will need to be fash ioned differently, and many other changes made. I have proved to my own satisfaction that this is thc only possible way in which cotton ean be harvested by machinery, and I will now devote my time to developing tho patent." Mr. Lee has used this same machine for cleaning the streets of New York, thc trash being drawn up by n similar method of suction. Mr. Waring, who is at the head'of New York's cleaning department, has given him the con tract for cleaning several streets, and Mr. Lee expects to perform the work at half the former expense. Mr. Lee will return to New York, and from there will go to his home in New Jersey. He expects to return some time in the next six or eight months, and premires to show his ma chine in a perfect condition for pick ing cotton. STILL ANOTHER. An ingenious Oklahoma planter has invented a device to make cotton pick \ ing easier. It was invented by C. A. /Wilson, of Foutz, Lincoln County, ' ' / ?nd is thuB described : A narrow boat, with a canopy to shade the cotton pickers from the sun, is mounted upon broad flat runners. NC MACHINES. LC in Hie NTear future. Th? boat ?H probably twenty inches deep. At each end ia an iron ring, to which a steady horse ia hitched. The pickers, usually two, get into the boat, start the horse between two rows of cotton, and with scarcely any bending, and no carrying of heavy lacks, ride in ease while they work. It is claim ed that a person who ean pick 150 pounds with a sack can pick ??00 pounds with a boat, for the reason that no time is wasted putting thc cotton into thc sack, the picker drop ping it loose in the bottom of thc boat. Inventor Wilson already has secured a patent for his cotton boat. Several of them will be sent to Southern States this week, where they will be exhibited in thc cotton fields. It would seem that the backache of thc cotton held would have suggested long ago such a simple contrivance, but an old Texas cotton buyer said that ho had never before heard of such a thing ; that persons regularly engag ed in the business developed "cotton picking muscles" in their backs, and never need boats. mu? ? mum It's This Way. I A writer gives this amusing expla nation of the abilities of woman versus the limitations of man. Just watch them and sec if it is not true. A man cannot d<? two things at z time. A I woman will broil a steak, and sec that tho coffee does not boil over, and watch thc cat that she doos not steal tho remnant of thc meat on the kitch en table, and dress the youngest boy, and set the table, and see to the toast, and stir the oatmeal, and give the orders to thc butcher, and she can do it all at once and not half try. Man has dono wonders since he came be fore tho public. Ho has navigated tho ocean, he has penetrated the mys teries of the starry heavens, he bao harnessed thc lightning, and made it pull street cars and light the great cities of tho world. But he can't find a spool of red thread in his wife's work basket; he can't discover her pocket in adress hanging in thc closet; he cannot hang out clothes and get them on the linc thc right cud up. He canuot hold clothes pins in his mouth while he is doing it either. He cannot be polite to somebody he hates. Ile can't sit iu ? rocking chair with out banging the rockers into the base board. He can't put the tidy on thc sofa pillow thc right side out. He : cannot sew on a button. In short, he cauuot do a hundred things that wo i men do almost instinctively. Cheating tftq Africans. Soor after the war thc South was a prolific field for rascals to prey on the ignorance of the newly emancipated slaves. Jackson County, Florida, had an immense colored population, and hore many swindlera found themselves in clover. One scheme ?j? worked with especial success. T.vo flashily dressed "gentlemen" driving a hand some turnout made a house-to-house canvass, representing to the negroes that they were sent out by the Gov ernment to Bee if tho titles to the j negroes' properties were good. In. each case thc title was found to be bad, of coarse, ?nd the confiding negro was informed that it would be made good on payment of $25. The poor negroes hustled around, sold ?took, household goods and even what little clothing they had to rai3e the money. When that was paid a large envelope with a red seal was given, with strict instructions not to opon it or talk to anyone, but to keep quiet until a day named, two weeks from that time, when ho would meet the Government agents at the county scat, when his title would bc made all right. On thc day named over five thou sand negroes gathered in Mariana. Tho day wore on, but thc Government agents carno not. Finally, about night, one of them went to a local lawyer and had his envelope opened. Here was what bc found for a title : "Know all men by these presents, that as Moses lifted up thc serpent in the wilder ness, so have we lifted $25 out of this fool." And then a voice was heard weeping in thc land ; it was thc negro, and ho refused to be comforted be cause his $25 waB not. Mm.
