Invest i^ai Ions b^ (he United States Department of Agriculture ha\e shown tliat a great many of the tires in cotton Kins, which in some seasons cause losses in excess of a million dollars, are caused by sialic electricity which collects in certain parts of the ma- J chinery as a result of friction. There are other causes, such as matches in the cotton, overheated hearings, fric tion between The saws and cotton stuck j In the ribs, and sparks cause*? by j pieces of metal and other foreign par ticles passing through, but static elec tricity is an important -cause aijd one which may be controlled. If certain parts of the machinery In the gin are grounded by proper wiring any electricity will be drained off and no sparks will be formed. The De partment of Agriculture has issued a circular, No. 271, In which the system of wiring is explained and shown In diagram. Pullman Laundries Kept Busy. Thrt Pullman company probably has laundered the greatest quantity of linen of any concern In the world. In one year 800.000,000 pieces were cleansed, this total including 2,531, 340 coats worn by porters and wait ers. Sixty-five laundries handle the Pullman linen, and they are frequent ly Inspected and constantly checked to see that the special formula pre scribed by the Pullman officials is fol lowed in the washing. As the linen comes from the manglea it Is Inspect ed. and such articles as are torn or stained are. set aside. Hopelessly soiled linen Is thrown away, while the repair robins attend to the slightly torn articles. The total linen repaired at all points fur one month amounted to S10.80-I pieces. Modern Syria.

Whether the Indian used the matri monial altar to woo his future squaw Is not known, but It Is a widely known fact that some of the oldest and most prominent citizens of this section of the country were united for life while under the tree, and to day lovers still seek the shadv boughs of the spreading oak. In the .spring, especially in June, as many .as three 'and four couples are sometimes mar ried under the tree on one Sunday afternoon. '? JUNGLE EXACTS ITS TRIBUTE V ' Thousands of Human Beings Annually Lose Their Lives in India Through Wild Beasts and Snake*. India still pays Its annual tribute of human life to the Jungle. In fact the number of deaths from sflake bite* or the attacks of w'ihl animals has steadily increased during the last few years, a fact which has been at tributed to the great floods, a writer In the Washington Star reports. The rising waters have driven the ser pents out of tire lowlands up into the villages, and have diminished through drowning the natural food supply of the larger wild beasts. According to the latest annual figured available, 55 persons were killed by elephants, 25 by hyenas, 109 by bears, 351 by leopards, 310 by wolves, 853 by tigers and 099 by other animals, Including wild hogs. No less than 22,478 died from the bite of poisonous .snakes. The grand totril of mortality Ifl something like 25,000. The losses on the . part of the In habitants <rf the Jungle vtere nearly but not quite so great as those of their human enemies and the domesti cated animals combined. Ninety-one thousand one hundred and four snakes and over 19,000 wild beasts of vari ous kinds were killed. A great many rases of snake bite were successfully treated with ISrun fon lancet and permanganate of pot ash, but It Is nevertheless impossible^ to assert the value of this treatment, since no one knows whether all, or even a large number, of the eases treated were caused by the bites of really venomous snakes. Bamboo Reinforces Concrete. Rainboo, which has been chemically treated. Is used as a reinforcement for concrete In Japan, according to the magazine Concrete. Henry C. Hitch cock, American consul at Nagasaki, states that the chemicals used in treat ing the bamboo are apparently known only to the few who have made use of them. % "Bamboo Is occasionally used with out chemicals to protect It from decay, In the construction of concrete ditches, einffll culverts and the like In districts where there is a great deal of sulphur in the soil and sulphur gas In the air," ?ays the writer In Concrete. "This Is done because It Is believed that bam boo is not so quickly destroyed by the sulphur ns ordinary reinforcing would be." Parrots Lose Estate A trust fund of $f>oo which was provided in the will of the late <;eorge Hart, theatrical lawyer, of New York, to maintain his two parrots after his death was overruled by the Appellate division of the Supreme court. The court instructed the executors to turn the two parrots over to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, there to h# "treated tenderly and in a manner worth > of the aims and pretension* of that society." The re*<t of the will was upload. Including a bequest of $12.00(1 to !)i? Society for Kthlcal Culture for ths teaching ot' sex hygiene t" children. \ Philippine Trade Statistics. Sixty-three per rent of t'-e total trade of the 1'hilippine islands during the year 1922 was w ith the T'nited State*, eompared to 37 per 'ent for all other counties doing business with the island*. according to the annual report of the collertor of customs. The Imports into the Philippines from tfve during 1922 amount* ert to $47,738,000, and the. export* to the I'nited States were valued at $04, 111.60O. Imports from countries other than tfce*UnIted Staten for 1922 were Tftlued at $32559.319, and the ej^orta anounted 'to $31,471,607. WILD TIME AT A MRETIN0. ill endon Gels $11,000 Fur a Si\ Weeka* Service at Greenaboro. ! - j - They had a wild tuul exi itinaftime at the cloning service ot Kvangelist McLehdon'x meeting in Greensboro, Sunday night. Approximately 0,000 people luUi assembled under and around the ti nt for the farewell Ser vice when a fierce electrical and wind storm descended in all its fury. The sides of the tent flapped around like a ship in a storm but the posts holding the ropes stood ami held lirm and no damage was done. People became wildly excited and wontfn grew hys terical, All over the tent people were shoving and pushing eacl^other violently. It seems that all iheir everyday religion that had been ham mered into them during the six weeks of Mack's preaching was forgotten in the mad rush to get from under. Men, pR-ad with the crowd to restrain themselves, the choir sang "Jesus Stands Ready to Save You," but it looked like the majority of them didn't want to be f-aved in that man-. nei\ One old negro woman thought the judgment day hat! arrived and leaped from her seat shouting: "Glory, glory, the time has come, it's come, it's come." Her weird wailing, it is said could be heard above the uproaring din of the jostling crowd, the singing of the choir and the roaring of the wind. In the midst of the uproar the iigl\t went out which added to the confusion. Finally the wind ceased and the storm stopped raging and peace and quiet again reigned and McLendon preached his farewell sermon. He re ported 024 professions during the meeting and something like $11,000 has been raised, $(>000 of which went for expenses and Mack got the rest. He returns Sunday to start another meeting at White Oak, Greensboro's suburb and after that, he goes to Lynchburg, Ya.. for a six week's setto. Later on Mack expects to hold a meeting at High Point ami Wins ton-Salem. ? Union Republican. Not Overcrowded.
