A GOOD SLOGAN.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
finds time to talk in this strain:
“Jin Sunday’s pa|>er we will print
a half page advertisement in which
you will be told exactly what to do.
In the meantime if you have a cow
hold her. Mow the weeds and the
grass In (he fence corners. If you
have any hogs hold them. If you
haven't a brood sow get one.
"The liresidcitf of this company a
few mouths ago informed the editor
tliut. when lie was a hoy licfore the
war the slogan of the south Was if
you jyow enough on your furnt to
feed your family and your stock, the
south will Siam Iwcoine the richest
region in the United States. And
what was true 50 and 00 years ago is
true today.
"The boll weevil Is mnkhig trouble
only in the country where people de-
pend upon cotton alone as the cash
crop. Nay, more, they not only de-
pend upon cotton as the cash crop,
hut as the entire crop. You can still
plant a little cotton as a cash crop it
you want to, hut you had better have
behind It an eating crop. Cotton,
crimson clover, hut clover, red rust
proof outs, corn, a few cattle and a
lew hogs now, and ufter a while
more cattle and more hogs, a good
garden now and forever, anil chick-
ens always and a day over will solve
every problem that confronts the
southern people.
“If you follow this regime, you will
surely got rich. If you don’t the ImiII
weevil will worry your heart until
it stops beating.”
And talk like that is well worth
while. There are sections in Texas
where cotton is the lesser crop, and
the people are prosperous. The I)e-
I-eou section is an example. Secretary
Drake of the IVaco Chamber of
Commerce rises early anil retires larc
that he may press home the matter
of each farmer growing enough on
bts farm to feed his family and Ids
stock. Behind the cotton crop ail
eating crop; that's a good slogan.—

Two “Armchair” Scientists, Who Novtr
Sat Foot In tho Dark Continent,
Worked Out tho Problem of Whore
tho Great 8tream Entered tho Sea.
The Niger is the third greateet river
in Africa and the eleventh in rank in
the world. A century ago nobody bad
found where tbe Niger river reached
the aea, and as tbe mystery grew tbe
theory became popular that tbe Kongo
or Zaire river was tbe lower part of
the Niger,
The most impressive fact known
about tbe Kongo was that tbe majestie
flood it poured into the Atlantic fresh-
ened tbe sea several miles from the
shore. It certainly was a great river.
Mango Park, the aplendld and in-
trepid young Scotchman who inaugu-
rated the modern era of African ex-
ploration, was largely responsible for
the theory that the Kongo might be the
outlet of tbe Niger. He was enthusi-
astic over tbe Idea. He wrote that if
the theory tnrned out to be true the
fact, in a commercial sense, would be
second In Importance only to tbe dis-
covery of tbe Gape of Good Hope.
Tbe German geographer Reicbard
became Interested in tbe problem of
the Niger, and, gathering all data
available with regard to the waters
In the equatorial regions of West Af-
rica, he came to tbe conclusion that
tbe Niger must find its way to tbe
ocean through the streams of a delta
and that this delta was probably on
the coast of the bight of Benin, where
a large number of small streams were
known to enter the Atlantic.
The eminent geographer bit the, nail
on the bead. His theory told the truth.
The problem was solved In an arm-
chair, but the English gentlemen, who
at that time were organising the Tuck-
ey (Kongo) expedition, laughed to
scorn tbe German hypothesis, declared
that Reichard’s deductions were “en-
titled to very little attention” and that
his data were “wholly gratuitous.”
James McQueen was another arm-
chair investigator, but the books be
read were hundreds of black slaves
taken to tbe West Indies from tbe Ni-
ger river region. He bad read Mungo
Park’s fascinating story of bis jour-
ney down tbe Niger for hundreds of
miles and thought it very strange that
no explorer bad ever found where the
great river reached the sea. McQueen
began to question every native of the
lower Niger he could And and kept ac-
cumulating this testimony for five
years before he was ready to publish
his results.
In 1821, when he had solved the puz-
zle to bis satisfaction, he Issued a book
In which he announced as a fact and
not as a theory that the Niger reached
tbe sea through a wide spreading delta
In the region of the “oil rivers." As a
fact, the delta front Is exactly where
McQueen said It was. The oil rivers
are the delta streams of the Niger.
McQueen's book made more fun for
tbe learned geographers than any
comic newspaper. The idea that an
obscure trader In the West Indies
should dream that his confabs with
Ignorant slaves had solved tbe Niger
mystery was a most amnslng joke.
McQueen lived to see the day when his
joke was recognized as a solemn geo-
graphical fact
The Niger delta, one of the largest in
the world, stretches 250 miles along
the coast Most of its streams are
small, and, skirting the coast one can
hardly observe them, so completely
are they bidden in tbe dense region of
mangrove swamps. Explorers soon
found that they might struggle for
weeks up a stream only to prove It a
blind alley, for a peculiarity of the
Niger Is that not a few Independent
rivers form between tthe delta branch-
es and have no connections with tbe
Niger itself. Most of the delta is a
network, difficult to enter or to retreat
from.
All natnro Is hideous there—the
brown waters lazily cc.rslng, the evil
odors of the slime and ooze, the repul-
sive animal ltfe from crocodile to
pythons, lurking In the shadow for
their prey, and a choice collection of
insect plagues. Including the anopheles
mosquito, with its poisonous sting.
These terrible conditions, persisting
for about forty miles Inland, are then
succeeded by aolld earth, noble trees
and sweet air, but the swamp region
of the lower delta is one of the most
forbidding parts of Africa.
Richard Lander at last. In 1830.
floating down the Niger, was taken by
natives Into' tbe Nun branch of the
delta and descended It to the sea. The
Niger problem was solved.
England gave the Niger a wide
berth till after 1850. It was thought
to be a plague stricken, region from
which no good would ever come. Its
terrors have fled today before the ad-
vance In knowledge. Large vessels
ascend the Forcados branch, carry-
ing commerce to and from tbe far In-
terior of Africa, and Nigeria, a com-
ing empire of industry, with Its great
cattle, cotton, tin mines and other re-
sources, Is joined to tbe sea both by
rail and river.-Cyrus C. Adams In

How Boys Would Be
Kept on the Farm
A Colorado farm boy has offered
these suggestions to parents who want
to keep their boys and girls on the
farm:
“Get good books, mngnzlnes and
farm pai>ers for the young people to
read.
“Hate some kind of club for them to
attend.
“Arrange matters so they can have
a party or entertainment once in
awhile.
“Go with them to church every Sun-
day.
“Teach them to do all kinds of farm
work by giving them a small tract ol
land for themselves and showing them
how to raise their crops, and have
them help you with your work.
"Give them a horse which they can
ride or drive when they haven't any
thing to do or when they want to go
anywhere.
“Tench them to love and be kind to
animals.
“After they finish their school send
them to the state agricultural schools.
“Take time to teach them the ’hows'
and ‘whys’ of farm work.”
Presumptuous as It may seem for a
lad to advise his elders ns to the best
ways of solving one of the hardest
problems, there Is no small amount ol
helpful common sense in the ideas of
the boy who at home and in Bchool
has had a chance to see-ways of bet
tering country living.
Secret of Cold Light.
The substitution of paper rolls foi
celluloid Aims In moving picture ma-
chines, made possible by tbe new
“cold" light discovered by the French
engineer Dotissand, is obtained by au-
tomatic separation of heat rays from
luminous rays, which occur together in
all- sources of light hitherto kuown to
science.
The quest of an absolutely pure
light, devoid of nil heat, long has been
one of the great problems of physics.
M. Doussaud has been working on
tills problem for many years. The
light obtained by this method is so in-
tense that it is possible to throw
Images from newspaper illustrations,
picture posteard8 and photographic
prints on a screen even tn a lighted
room as clearly and sharply as if they
were glass lantern slides.
