In Atdievllle Tlia weea. Mr, AVIUtain WhltUm. Jr'te tHr "olnt nf three SBerlmens Of the Cart' 4oiiica cotton which variety of staple . U attracting : - eo much attention among the English and Continental spinner.. The samples In question came direct from Queensland. Ana. ' trail, and were accompanied by three small packagee of eeed. Theee mil Af which there are aeveral hundred In' each oaekage, will be ' ". neat to the Agricultural and Mechan - tl ammmm sf UUulDDl. Louts) iu ud Texaa. . for experimental purposes, ; - . Tha ao-called "Caravonlca" la trM cotton. Dr. Thomatla, a noted English- eapert, la lie originator, c JTour rears ago. ha foresaw the need .' of a new source of tha cotton supply to English splnnere and he aet him self to work at once on hta estate ' at Cairns. Queensland. He collected i acores of varieties of eeed from all .. narts ef the world and then'began to . aalect and eliminate those unsulted to . tha soli and climatic conditions of " Australia. After many experiments. :'lia chose two varieties, both of the i ' Sat t.und family, one from tha -.boundary between Peru and lira ill and the other from Mexico. He -' croased those by hydrldlaatlon and obtained successfully all the points and reaulU he required and expected . Tha new variety of evolved cotton osseaapa a very long, regular strong ' flora of decided wooly appearance ' and feel. So much so that It has 3 bean liven the name "wool cotton.' Having reached this stare In his ex- perlmenta. Dr. Thomatls began plant ing Wis new couon, ine v.arsvum- ' ca.H Very soon his discovery began to be noised abroad and many cot- ton aasortatlons In England and nn . tha continent went tholr repre - aentatlvea there to investigate tba new variety. The Minister of . Agriculture of France pronounced It a valuable surmtltate for wool." Tha Associated Cotton Hplnners of Italy. Hungary and Germany, declar el It "better than tha beat of Ameri can cotton," and would uy all that " could be grown at double the current . price. The Caravonlca cotton trees grow to the also of the ordinary peach tret i in two yearn. Thev then begin to bear their fruit. The bolls are fully ' four tlmea the slse of the ordinary v specimens, and weigh 70 to the neons. . , Tha proportion of thd lint to the need ranges from 40 to 60 per cent. a remarkable showing. Dr. Thomatla believea that this may be Increased ' ta 10 per cent, and (0 per cent, and . aven. In time, to a seedless variety, . 'similar to the orange. The cotton trees when fully developed bear from 100 to 100 bolls each. With 00 . trees to tha acre one can very easily , compute the yield. Tha Caravonlca cotton Is now sold - on tha Liverpool market at from 20 to 10 cents per pound. The "wool" variety Is not lha only new type which Ir. Thomatla ha originated. Hy crossing the Cara vonlca with- the Peruvian "kidney" variety, he has evolved a new hybrid. fibre la finer and silkier than the other, and haa been denominated Bilk" cotton lo differentiate It from tha "wool" variety. This grade com . mands 40 rents a pound and Is large ly used by the French, Italian, and Belgian firms In the manufacture of fancy goods, sateens, etc. There Is yet another type which has been re cently discovered to which the name of "alpaca" haa been given, owing to Its similarity to that article of 'goods. Tha samples In Mr. V hi nam's (v easlon are exceedingly interesting. - Ha has specimens of the bolls, tha seeds, aod tha lint, all of which ara worthy of inspection by American grower. These specimens were ob- talned for exhibition at the annual convention of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association wblcb meets In Aahevllle .this week. i SPECIAL RUXDAV MLHIO.

A CITY OF A MILLION Gil RAT PnOGRFSH SHOWN BY MILLION POPI LATION CLUB. There haa been a continued growth shown in many lines manufactured In Ht. Iouls since the close of the World s Fair, and a won' derful Interest Is now man! tested by all the business Interests looking to an Increased population. A plan of advertising has recently been approved that will make the City's population One. Million In -a very abort time not by, bringing lato ttie.clly. new enterprises and 'new manufacturing industries, but by in creasing the consumption of St. luls made articles. If the demand for such products as are now manu fsctured In the City la Increased, enough new labor will be necessary to quickly make St Loula a City, of a Million souls. That - the demand for St. Loula made gooda ran be Increased la beat evidenced by an Illustration. Take for Instance the Roberts. Johnson A Rsnd Shoe Co.. who have established Six large Shoe factories in the last five yeara, and employ about Five Thousand people. Thla firm Is only Klght yeara old. and by making good snoea ana using the newspspera freely to acquaint the people aa to me quality or their product, have built a business which now aggragatea Right Million Dotlara annually, and their gain In shipments over Isst year is over ne Minion six Hundred Thousand Dollars. This achievement snows plainly what haa been done with Star Hraml Bhoea, and what one firm has done to add to the growth and advertisement of St. Iiuls aa a shot market, and what they 1iave done on shoes can be done In other lines manufactured In St. Loula. The Million Club have taken up mm msuer in a Duainese-iike manner, and wonderful resulta are sure to come from their effort.
