DON'T VISIT WITH BUSY MAN Experience of Colonel Walters With President Harrison Might Well Act as Warning. We once heard n busy man sny he wouldn't care to sea his long-absent beloved brother on a busy mbralng. Thereby hangs a tale, Capper's week ly observes. The regiment of Col. L, II. Waters was breaded alongside of Uen. Benjamin Harrison's brigade for several months during the Civil war, end tfie two men became great friends. After the war General Harrison re turned to Indiana and became Presi dent of the United States. Colonel Waters became one of the West's dis tinguished lawyers. One time Waters went to Washington on business and while there decided that It would be an act of discourtesy if he didn't go up and call on his old army pal, Presi dent Harrison, then in the White House. So he made himself known to the President's secretary. "Walk right In," said the secretary, "the President Is at his desk alone right now." Wa ters walked In. President Harrison had his nose down to his desk and didn't look up. The colonel shuffled his feet to attract the President's atten tion. This didn't bring results. .Then he coughed. Whereupon President Harrison looked up and growled. "Wfell, what do you want here?" "Not a thing," retorted Waters as he turned on his heels and walked out. SPEED REDUCED TO FIGURES Just What the Expression "Doing Six ty Miles an Hour" Really Con veys to Expert. "Going at the rate of sixty miles an hour" Is an expression dear to many writers, both of fiction and of fact. Just what does this mean from the prosaic standpoint of science? What if an automobile proceeding at the rate of 60 miles an hour should come to a sudden stop, such as. for instance, by striking a heavy bridge abutment? A fair Idea of the completeness of the wreck may be had by Imagining the j machine falling from a height of 120 ; feet or from the top of a ten-story ; office building. An object falling from a height of 120 feet would have the snme velocity at the Instant of strik ing the ground as rhp motorcar would have when traveling 00 miles an hotrr. The energy possessed by a 2,400 pound automobile traveling at the rate of 60 miles an hour Is 290,000 foot pounds, which Is the same an that of a body weighing 1.000 pounds at the Instant of striking the ground from a drop of 290 feet. Were a resistance of fl.000 pounds applied to the automobile It would j come to rest in a distance of 44 feet in one second of time, and In coming ? to rest would be doing work at an av erage rate of over 2?ri7 horse-power. ?

Plants Grafted and May Kevolutionize Farming in the South. A dispatrh by VieU>r 'if. Xchoffol* meyer from Galveston, Tex., to the Washington Star is as follows: ''Successfully grafting cotton plant* to the loots of a mulberry tree and blending in the offspring certain ih -liable characteristics of Egyptian Sua Island and other long staph* American varieties, P. Dan Goorge, a Roumanian- Hungarian plant breeder, wh<> settled at l.amarsue, Galveston county, 10 years ago, has developed a new variety of cotfoni One grafted plant this season has by actual count 917 bolls and hundreds of squaies. while the parent plant la ?t oh had >r>i'- hulls which opened July 28, some seven locks and none less than five and six. The plant was eight fuel tall and six feet in diamo ter. "From three grafted cotton plaot's last season, Mr. Geofrge gathered r?:> pounds of seed cotton or at the rate Ol- live bales atl :>,c;e. ???ft is plant has ndoubtedly Egyp tian 'characteristics with deeply in dented leaves and long pointed bolls. The progeny from this plant .will again be crossed with other desirable cotton varieties, which will combine the high-yielding powers of the pa rent Egyptian plant and the large bolls, pf several other crosses now growing. On the George place. . . "The value of the new variety of cotton will depend entirely upon its performance under actual farming conditions. This has not been possible because \intil this year there has not been enough seed to plant a largo acreage. Xe\t season, however, ther?i will be enough seed from this year's crop to plant several -hundred- acres. 'Counts made in the Lamarqur field show field plants grown in ordi nary cotton rows with *72 almost ma ture bolls' and 1 Gl? squares. They have done this m spite of a nuoy, ad verse and backward season, which ha* caused much shedding. "Examination of the staple from the three parent plants last season showed a length of one and a half inches, with a fine texture and good drag. A large open boll was almost as bij; as a man's tjst. All were lar ger than ordinary cotton bolls. This year's bolls aVe of very large size, many of more than an inch and a quarter in diameter. . "Mr. George's idea is to produce a tree cotton which will reproduce it self each year by growing a new crown, although the upper portion of the stalk or trunk may die down du ring cold weather. There are such tree cottons in Asia and South Amer ica and one variety in Cuba which possesses a fairly long staple. ' dust what part the grafting of cotton to mulberry roots i* playing in the development of Mr. George's new varieties is not determined so far. It undoubtedly has made for large size of bolls, vigor of plants, prolific fruiting and enormous size of leaves. Some of the leaves from his cotton plants this season have a spread of IS inches. Some have five lobes and others three. Some are deeply cleft and others are rounded. "Ninety-five per cent of George'*; cotton plants at Lamarque are quite uniform and have high-yielding powers. In some the dominant traits of no less than three or four varieties are present. "A remarkable thing about George's new cotton is that the plants are heavily fruited from the bottom up, the bolls literally resting on the ground with the middle branches al most touching the ground. "George has been offered $ 1 00 for a boll and has refused $1 a seed. IL obtained -10,000 seeds from last' year'.; experiments. Seed breeders from various part* of the United Stat** Belgium, i:?st Africa, Australia H.?i Great Hritaln have written to him to obtain need of Ma new variety." Kprcttlntipg in German Marks . Many Americans have been spViu lating in German marks?have been buying them and pigeonholing them on the gamble that, in the course of time, they will greatly enhance j? value? some even indulging the Wilj hope tha^ they, in the distant future maay be worth what they were l>,.f the WorJd War. These speculators, ax well as the public generally,, may bo interested in a statement in the Baltimore Manu facturers Record on the matter. Th* statement was in reply to an inquiry by N. D. Graham, who wrote the Re. cord as follows: Please let me know what you think of buying German marks at this time. Of course this is purely a matter speculative--- but. would like to have your opinion any/ way. To thin the Record retorted: Our opinion of a man who buys a German mark or of any n\nn, it mat. tors not how high he may he, iyfift' since the Armistico has .bought a German mark, is that "a fool and his money are soon parted." Any man who. watched the career of Germany should have known that that country I had lost all sense of honor, and that speculation in any of its securities was argamble based on less honor? we had almost said than hell itself hut perhaps here and there may be some | people in Germany to whom such a. term should not be applied. We re cognize the fact that there are some good Germans, but they have been powerless in shaping the destiny of that nation; and the campaign of is suing marks has been a definite one for robbing the world. The man who buys the German mark purely as a speculation, even if he could get a thousand million of them for a penny, would show that he is willing to take a chance in buying a security of a country.. that is without honor and whose devil-devised activities have brought all of the chaos which exists in the world. Even if a man knew that by some superhuman power Ger man marks would be made to advance, and that he might reap a fortune by investing in them, we would regard his purchase of German marks as on a par with the purchase of bootleg whiskey and the cooperation in that way with the most desperate gang of criminals with which this country has ever been cursed.
