Langston, of Johnston, S G., has just returned to his home fron: the gold lields of Alaska, and has beci absjet sinco March 23, 1898. He ha, relited some vory interesting expotri enecs in regard to his sojourn in thi K lond ike to a reporter for the Augusti Chrioni cie, as follows : lie says, aiong other things, th'aI the lowest tiperature experienced it the country lie was in, was 74 degrect behiaw zero.

There is also certain species of grass which growl up in such thick masses and tben turn over at the top for ming around mound] that the nrospootors hoa eliven i the name of "N igger Hioads," and thes grow very closely together coverini extensive plains.

BEYOND MAN'S ENDURANCE. The Propost d Speed ot' 150 Miles an Hour Wilk Break iO.wn thI. En. gineers. An old locomotive ensylndeer, In reply to the statement that 150 miles an hotir was one of the possibilities of future travel, says that 1,y may Outiu L,. engine for a 150 mile galt, but thy3 can't build the engineers. The strai. on thw nerves ht very high speeds is something terrific, and anything over fifty miles an hour is a pace which jar, every nerve in the body. The average engineer is apt to break down under the influence of many spurts at even 05 miles an hour. After such an ordeal he is completely unhinged, jumping when he hears unexpected noises like a hysterical woman. By those who have passed through this experience it is believed that the strain comes main. ly through the sight. The engineer has to look straight ahead, but at the same time, as it has been expressed, " he sees things& whizzing .past.pu both sides out, of ,o tail of h's eye, and it is as if something had hold of the optic nerve and was pulling it out like a rub ber band." Shadows are the terror o the locomotive engineer. A bird may flit across che .hqadlight and throw a shadow down the tradk as big as a box car. Of course it is gbne in an instant, but in just that heart-beat the nerves of the engineer have been given a shock that they may not recover from in a week. The new electric he d lights are said t.o be the worst kind of spook-producers. They cast such sharp shadows that a bug moving over the glass will give the engineer the in. pression of a cow lying juet in front of the pilot. At very high speeds such an experience conjures up visions of sudden death and gives a sledge-ham mor blow to every nero centbr in Ghe body of the engineer. Old engineers say that the speed of 109 miles an hour Is beyon~d the sust ilnd endurance of the man at the lfver, and with a speed of 160 miles the human machine would go mad.in a week.

F. Foster read at the Montreal meeting of the N. i. Cotton Manufacturer.' Association.i Foremost among inventors sta'nds the name of Eli WhIitucy, the avowed inventor of the cotton gin. His invon tion has withstood the criticisms of practical manufacturers 1nd theorists for more than a century, and it can be said that today it practically prepares the cotton crop for market, aid it bids fair to be continued in use for consid erable time to come unless soine in ventive genius can bring out somne thing to take its place which will per form the work as spvedily arl cheaply, and retain the staple unbroken. The manufacturer may grumble and declare that the saw gin is the most destructive process that cotton is subjected to tromt the cotton fild to (e sphiiiiiig frame, yet he is compelled to accept the situation from the fact that no In ventor has brought out any other pro cess of separatiig the lint fr om the seed that finds favor with the cotton grower, for he seems to be the man to please as it is his business to raise the crop, market the same and get his pay 10r it. Eli Whitney foresaw what was want ed in his (lay an( went to work and produced it. We say lie -built wise ly" or that lie "built, better than he knew" for the test of a huntidred years shows him to be an inventor worthy of appreciation. Born ati ed uicated in New England, he carried with him to Georgia that spirit Of enterprise that has distinguished him ainong nen of genlius. During the past wilter the writer visited the spot where Whitney made his experiiments with his cotton gin. Uponl a sluggish st ram that is known as Double lranches whicli flows into the Savannah River a few miles below Augusta, Ga., .aiids a te serted wooden mill building with itU crumbling wooden tub wheel in a de. cayed wheel pit. Near by ii a broker dam1 and a cane brake whih border upon a swaip where the long flowin inosa hangs drooping f rom the trees. The spot is interesting oily as v place where Whitney made experi. ments and operated him fiirs1 cotton gin, Upon this spot the cotton g'owers and the manufacturers should alike join iti erecting a tablet to the memory of Eli Whitney. Only for the invention 0l the cotton giii liaw -ottol manufactur ing assumed the % ni-t proportions thai it has throughout the world. For tit following bit of history I am indebteil to Charles C. .Jones, LL. D., author of the "History of tieorgia'' and other his torical works. Eli Whitnev was borti in Westborough Mass., Dlec. 8, 1765, and after complet ilg his education at Yale camne 0 Geor gia wiith the view of euterig into th legal profession. Ie made his lon,( with the widow of General Greene, thi Revolutionary hero, and as traditior has it, had his attention directed b that lady to tile subject of t machiu< [or preparing cotton for the market In those times the seed ii as laboriouslj and imperfectly separated from the tin by hand, and Mrs. Greene seemed t< han foreseen that important, resulth would follow a speedier process Young Whitiney worked out, the ide and ini 1 793 receivedl a patent for hi fanions gin. His experiments wer maein aind near Augusta, Ga .,an< about four miles north of the cityi still to b~e seen the (lain used by hiin to run his works. Sometimes it is sain that Whitney is net thle real imvento of this dtevice, but purhoinedi the ide; 'roin its originai author. The state ment being that, a citizen of Souti Carolina constructed a gin toward the close of the eighteenth cent ury and that Whitney surreptitiously gair ed access to his workshop and carric off the plan, and constructing a mir chmne, patented it as his owvn. Thi story is told with giceat circumstar tiality, and the house in which thi machine was originally constructedi said to be still standling within sigli of Augusta in Hamburg, S. C., on th] left, hand side of tho road, just acrot the Savannah River bridge. The cot temporaneous history of Whitney times, however, shows pretty clearl that lie was really the inventor. TIl patent, was issuedi to him in 1793, an by Act, of Dec. 19, 1801 (5 statutt South Carolina, page 424), the Legisli Lure of South Carolina purchased froi him the right, to nse his patent in thu state for the sum of p50,000. T1hie Ai gusta, Ga., Ilerald, of Dec. 30, 180: imentioins the passage of this Act, as> says, "Lin the course of the negotii tioiis betwceen the Legislature of Sout Carolina and the patentee we unde14 standt that every satisfactory evident of the originality of the invention wi prioduicedI, and~ its principles so full exlhainied by the ingeniious inlvent< that, little or no diversity of opinic existed as to the propriety of makii a contract.'' Now if Whitney he really robbed a citizen of South Car lina of the inventioii it, is hardly lik hy that the Legislature of that vei permittedl him as against, one ofi State would but eight years after hav own pueple to profit by the wrong. any question was raised before i Legislature of South Caroliina as Whitney's right, every satisfactory ev dence of the originality of the invel tion was prOtlucedI so that, there we little or tie diversity of opinion asi the priopriety of making the contrac Whitney's right to the iinveiition wi further established by Act of the Legi lature of Tennessee in 1806 by the pas age of the followinig resolutiou "Whereas it has been made to appce to the satisfaction of the genieral al sembly that Eli Whitnoy, from who this State punrchafsedl the patent rig) to a machine for cleaning cotton co[ moiily calledl the saw gin, is the tri inventor of saidl maichiine, etc.'' M dIraw a veil over the imperfectins the 01a. gin, and1( as cheerfully as ti conditionis justify accept the mutila ed stalc~, and rejoice that we hiai even that to be thankful for. Hlut no times dlemandl now measures, and1( e cry cotton nmnufacturer will hail wil delight the introducition of a machui which ill overcomie the objectionab features of the puresenlt system of gii ning cottoii. The manufacturer shcu: continue to urge upon the produtc< the importanice of improved miethoc of preparft ing cotton for the marke Every effort, made in that directic has its influence, and in time WI hring about thn required results.

It .is now reasonably certain that the cotton crop for this year will be uiider nine millions. It is this fact that gives .frmness to* the-cotton market atn i time wh~eri -there hase-e n1.almost panic in the-price of securities in the New York stock market. All over the country, and largely in Europe, there.has been widespread prob .perity, that .is, the people everywhere have been industriously at work and iirofitably at work. "In consequence of this, the- put'cha sifig po'wer of the mnul titude is gibater today than at ainy time in the history of .the world. -. It is' this l act that insures a profitable -return fora fair crop of cotton in the South. In the duillest period of our his tory the Sou~th expanded ,..hier cotton crop beyond any lPrecedent; now when the demand has about oveittaken the largest crop, weather condlitions have curtailed the crop itself. We have no doubt that prices will still further adl vance as soon -as .the money markets have adjuistedl themselves to changed conditions, that is, as soon as the wat er has been squeezed out of a great many new stocks in New York. Nevertheless; we trust that the peo ple of the -South will not expand the cotton crop for 1900. If they would keep the crop dlown to ten millions and plant only for that amiount, cultivating with the best labor-saving implements andi~ planiting only the best seedl, striv ing to increase (if there must be an in crease), in the product per acre rather than in thec acreage-the South would blosson like a rose. F'armiers of the Sbuth,- curtail your acreage devoted to cotton',- and put it into food crops or let it rest ; devoting your eniergies to mn tenisive farnmg, aim ing to produce a large crop per aecre, per man aind per mulde. In t his~ way only is thear( prollt t~o be derlved in thle planting of cotlon. -Home und Farm. The streets of Washington arc shad ein summer by about 75,000 trees of -different- vatieties. It has been sug gested to the District of Columbia com missione~r8 that ai valuable and impor taint educational work might be ac complished by applying labels in a lib oral w ay to indicate the botanical and common names of the trees, about 'which most p~eople are ignorant. A snamils pace was carefully observed recently in Florence,1italy. Several of the mollusks were placcd at the begin minng of a "course" ten feet long, and started. It was ascertained that the fastest snail in the race travcledl at the rate of a mile in fourteen days. . The tomato Is now definitely assigned a place as a tonic among foods8. A a notedl physician has made extensive I experiments with the juice as a medi .ine, and lie says that as a health p~re- a servative it is unequaled. Typhoid fever p~revailed1 in the North hampton, Mass., Insane Asylum anid was traced. by the board of health, to celery grown on landl where sewage of 4hle 'institution was allowed to perco late.
