Every year in our wasteful Amm an prodigality are throwing . v.l. o.. w,r Uea of material Timwi A war. , . which tho geniai of aonie future discoTerer will find to bo rich in the possibilities of un appropriated wealth. But in partial offset against thia national tendency toward wastefulness there are cer tain economic agencies at work in the various scientific laboratories of the country which may yet produce the happy result of converting trash piles into gold mines. Experiments in this direction have been wonder fully stimulated, Bays the Atlanta Constitution, since it was discovered several years ago that cotton seed could be made the basis of an im portant industry, producing not only what ia now commercially known as cotton seed oil, but also many use ful by-products, and greatly in creasing our material wealth by put ting value into immense quantities of cotton seed . hitherto considered worthless except for purposes of fer tilization, as only the smallest quan tity was used each year for replant ing. We have been very much inter ested in some figures recently com piled by Daniel C. Koper for the L'nited States bureau of statistics, showing that the value of the output now derived from cotton seed now aggregates annually more than $40, 000,000. As many as 257 establish ments in lils country are now en gaged In crushing cotton seed. Ac cording to the figures for 1900, the manufacturers paid $28,000,000 for the cotton seed used during the year, but from this outlay of raw material there were produced 93,000,000 gal lons of oil valued at $21,000,000, 884, 000 tons of cake and meal valued at $1G,000,000, 1,000,000 tons of hulls, valued at $3,000,000, and 87,000,000 tons of linters valued nt $1,800,000. Nearly half of this immense output was exported to foreign countries. Mr. Koper gives some additional in formation showing the character of the various products derived from the cotton seed and also tlie uses to which they are put. The meal which is left after the oil is extracted from the seed Is used both for fertilizing and for cattle feeding. The crude oil which results from the first pro cess is called summer oil and this product on being subjected to subse quent processes of refining in tarn produces stcrin, which is used in making butter, salad oils and can dles; summer whke oil, which is used in making lard and cottolene, win ter yello "and miners' oil, while thcr product which remains is used as soap stock. If we can only con vert some few of our other waste materials into products of commer cial value we will have money to spare in this section; but consider ing the extent and variety of our natural resources, which we are now engaged in developing, we can afford to wait patiently.

By the use of the electric current the particles composing a sub stance may be loosened and taken apart so as to assume new forms, and this Is the principle of electrolysis. For instance, you may take common salt and by electrolysis decompose it into chlorine and sodium, which are useful in various arts. By the same means you may decompose water and get hydrogen. Nobody can say how wonderful a future may be opened up in the direction of electrolysis, inas much as this is so new a branch of chemical experimentation.

Brook lyn Life. - The case recently reported in the pnblic prints of a serious attack of blood poisoning, the Bource of which was traced to verdigris found on a metal door knob, is one more warning for eternal vigilance in the way of cleanliness in every part of the house. The particular door knob in the in stance referred to was in a public building, and was probably nobody's care. The Illness resulting from it is an alarming warning to housekeepers to watch for similar dangerous pos sibilities in their own domain. It also emphusizes the fact that a cut or abra sion of any kind on the skin means that the greatest care should be ex ercised as to what comes in contact with it, until the place is healed.

And yet, when he waa a young man, he waa " opposed to tho new-fangled ideas which hla crack-brained countrymen were then busy Importing from the Occident. Because of his active opposition to the propaganda of the dominant par ty he was proscribed and forced to seek refuge in Europe. To aa inter viewer the marquia recently detailed the story of his emigration, in which THE MARQUIS ITO. (Recognised Leader of the Progressive Element In Japan.) he and young Count Inauye were companions. - "We two young fellows," the mar quis said, "made for Nagasaki for the purpose of getting to England. The only word of English we knew was 'navigation.' At the office of the shipping company the man in charge asked what we wanted; all we could say was 'navigation.' He sent iis aboard a vessel and imagine our surprise at finding we had been shipped as common sailors. All through the voyage we had to scrub decks and work just as the others did. The English sailors found out that we had money, and it was soon gambled away from us. But not all, for we kept two dollars care fully atowed away in an old stock ing for emergencies." With these two dollars Ito and his friend arrived one wet and stormy day at London docks. No one came to meet them and they were left alone, hungry and destitute in the great city. One of the dollars was tossed in the air, and on the cast Inouye, it was decided waa to go and seek for. food. He discovered a baker's shop, threw the dollar on the counter, seized a loaf of bread, and, without stopping for the change, rushed back to Ito, vbo, tired and ravenous, was waiting for him. Next day their friends came for them, and they were no longer alone. Such was Ito's first introduction to England and to western life. TALLEST MAN ON EARTH.

Dame Nature has apparently out done herself in Edward Beaupre, the young French Canadian giant, who bids fair to outrival the fabled one eyed giant Polyphemus, of Homer's time, while he overtops by several feet modern competitors.

He Is 30 years old, tipa the scales at 587 pounds, and stands ten feet 11 inches high, his hands measuring 19 inches, and his feet 24 inches by 12 wide. A two yard tape measure barely encircles his chest. Each of his trousers legs can con tain the figures of two ordinary per sons, and there is sufficient cloth in one of his suits to outfit ten aver age men. The massive framework of each of his outstretched arms will bear the weight of three athletes. A man five feet ten inches by his side appears a mere pigmy. One of the peculiarities about Beaupre is that his father and moth er were of ordinary size. From youth he has been a great gymnast and has, given much time to athletic sports.
