The ti tal rrodactlcn of cotton In Int uited States fr the s?aaon of 1910 1911 will amount to 5,464 697,000 pounds (not Including linterF) wLich H t quivalent 11,426,000 balsa of 500 pounds, gross weieht, la the estimate of the crop reporting board of the U. S Department of Agriculture, issued today. The 1909 crop was 10,001, 919 bales and the 1908 crop, 13,587,- 306 bales. The estimated production by States follow: Virgioia, 13,000; North Carolina, 675,000; South Carolina, 1,116,000; Georgia, 1,750,000; Florida, 58,000; Alabama,' 1,174,000; Mississippi, 1, 160,000; Louisiana, 260,000; Texas, 3,140,000; Arkansas, 815,000; Tennes see, 305,000; Missouri, 48,000; Okla homa, 900,000; California, 12,000. New York, Dec. 9. The govern ment's annual estiafate of the cotton crop was published today and caused a very sharp advance in prices of all active deliveries, making new high records for the season in "the New York market with May contracts selling at 15 1-2 cents, or 64 points, equal to $3.20 per bale above the clos ing figures of the previous day. At this price there was sensationally heavy realizing by bull speculators, but the prospect for an American crop of 11,426,000 bales, excluding lioters, seemed to be bringing in buy- ijg orders from all directions and after a quick break from 15.50 to 15 13, May rallied to 15.30 in an ac tive and excited market.

A merchant in a large city allowed his name to be posted tn his clnb three times for nonpayment of dues. A few days after the last posting he applied to his bank for a loan. When the ap plication came np to the bank's credit man that newest of a bank's impor tant officials he pulled out the cus tomer's history card. The latest entrywas one typewritten sentence, "Does not pay his club dues; three times delinquent The loan was refused. The merchant was either careless, near broke or nnappreciative of his credit standing. Any of these reasons looked bad to the ba&er.

Two, men at least have 'given ac counts of their sensations when they were carried off by lions the great ex plorer Livingstone and a man named Wolhuter, a ranger of game preserves In the TransvaaL Wolhuter's adven ture Is not secondary in interest to Livingstone's experience. His story, which was attested by the certificate of the magistrate of the district, was substantially as follows: He was riding along a Kafir path about an hour after sunset. It bad t been a long march, and he bad pushed on ahead of his companions. His dog barked at something, and a moment later Wolhuter saw a lion crouching close to him on the right hand side. The ranger turned his horSe sharply, a circumstance that no doubt caused the lion to miss the spring. Wolhuter was unseated. At the same moment he saw another lion coming from the opposite direction. The horse rushed off, with the .first Hob ln pursuit, and the second lion picked Wolhuter up almost before he touched the ground and gripped him by the right shoulder in such a position that he was face up, with his legs and body dragging underneath the beast. The lion trotted down the path, uttering a loud, growling, purring noise. Wolhuter's sensations were not those of Livingstone, who said he was ln a state of apathy, with entire absence of pain during the time the lion had him. The game ranger suffered terribly, both mentally and physically, and saw no possible way of escape. The lion took him nearly 200 yards. Suddenly Wolhuter bethought him of his sheath' knife, which he carried ln his belt behind his right hip. On reach ing a large tree with overhanging roots the lion stopped, whereupon Wolhuter stabbed him twice in the side with his left hand. It was ascertained after ward that the first stab touched the bottom of the heart and that the sec- yim Bull u r try?" 1 V OS'S about their affairs, bow much seem ingly small things ln their daily lives affect credit, and big things that they sometimes want to conceal too.

At high water the lighthouse, whose diameter at the base is eight and three-fourths feet, completely covers it It is Inhabited by three persons. It lies nine miles off the Cornish cost and fourteen miles southeast of Plymouth breakwater. Flatholme, an Island in the British channel, is only a mile and a half in circumference, but. consisting mostly of rich pasture lands, supports a farm house besides the lighthouse, with a revolving light 156 feet above the sea. There are about 100,000 islands, large and small, scattered over the oceans. America alone has 5,500 around its coasts. There are 3G5 in the bay of Rio Janeiro, 16,000 between Madagas car and India and some 1,200 off the eastern coast of Australia between its mainland and New Guinea. struck him, this time ln the throat. severing an artery. The lion Jumped back and stood fac ing him, growling. Wolhuter scram bled to his feet, shouting at the top of his lungs. He expected the beast to come at him again, but it did not In stead, it turned slowly and, still growl ing, went a few paces. Soon its growls turned to moans. These, ln turn, ceased, and the ranger knew" that the beast was then dead. Wolhuter got up the tree as fast as his injured arm would permit and hardly was he seated when the first lion, which had been after the horse, came back on the trail of blood. By this time the plucky ranger was so faint that he tied himself to ihe tree to prevent himself from falling out He was found by his companions, who took him to a place of safety. The Hon he had killed was an old male, and the weapon used was an ordinary sheath knife.
