Demand for Cotton. New York, Aug. 31.—A special to the Post from Washington says : The demand for cotton is in creasing constantly, and the world's supply is not increasing in propor tion, with the result that the En glish manufacturers are so worried over the outlook that they are mak ing every effort to increase the area of production in the colonies and elsewhere," said Gerald C. Dudg eon, Superintendent of Agriculture for the British West Africa, who is now in Washington. Mr. Dudgeon is making for the British goverrt ment a study of conditions of cot ton growing in this country. He has been looking iuto the Depart ment of Agriculture, and will soon make a tour of the South, - "The greatest problem in Amer ican cotton," he added, "is the per fection of the upland staple. The American planter has paid too lit tle attention to his seeding, result ing in a deterioration of the plant. The staple is too short at the pres ent time. In the rest of the cotton producing world they are unable to do much better, so that if Ameri cans improved their plant they would be in a more advantageous position than elsewhere. The grow ing populHtion and purchasing pow er of the world calls for more cot ton. Thert will be a scarcity for some years to come. To the En glish manufacturer the danger con stantly increases, because, in the event of a short crop in America, prices go up and he is forced to shut down. Therefore, he looks for extension of area in Africa and India in*order to prevent the crisis that otherwise hastens upon him." —Special to Times-Democrat. •1 Strike» Hidden Rocks.

Com tu* la Great Favor, A surprising feature of long-diatanoe telephony is the remarkable amount of business that can be crowded into a ▼ery short conversation. The fact that the communication obtained is an actual conversation at .first hand between the persons most directly interested in the>mattcr under discussion is what, ac cording to the Electrical Engineer, ren der* the telephone so far superior to the telegraph for very many purposes. Question and answer arc exchanged im mediately r itli nt the annoying delays incldc:.t t • posi.i ' : , ;< u.m< . .juite iur • 4 k all the adyantages.of a personal inter view are obtained without the expendi ture of time and trouble Involved in a journey. Numerous instances could be given of the number of business ques tions that can be disposed of in a single talk over the wires within the mini mum time of five minutes. Probably the best on record is that where two business men, one in New York, and one in Boston, discussed and settled four en tirely distinct affairs in one minute and a half. Two of the matters dealt with cin volved large sums of money, but the men were able to lay their heads to gether, figuratively speaking, so well, although literally they were so far apart, that it took them but a few seconds in each case to decide on what should be done. It can readily be imagined how many telegrams would have been required to do the same amount of business, leaving entirely aside the question of time, which is so often of the first importance. Every day cases occur w here the long-dis tance telephone enables business to be done that the telegraph can not aid, and where the only alterna tive would be a long and expensive journey. For instance, not long ago a New York man was notified that his draft on a house in a town far up in the interior of the state had been allowed to go to protest, and in order to protect his interests he was on the point of*un dertaking a journey that would have kept him away from his office for three days, when a friend advised him to tele phone to the bank which held his draft. He did so immediately. The bank in* formed him of the state of affairs and recommended a lawyer in the town to take the job in hand. He had an Inter* view by telephone with the lawyer and gave him instructions to proceed, and the same afternoon the lawyer reported that he had got out an attachment and that the draft would be fully covered. The time spent by the New York man over the affair might have been an hour and the total expense was for three con versations, one with the bank and two with the lawyer, as p gainst an absence from town of two or three days and traveling expenses, amounting to forty or fifty dollars. The actual saving of time and money is by no means the only recommendation in favor of long-dis tance telephone communication. , Oftep it renders possible the trausao tion of business which could be done in no other way, and many a time a five minutes' conversation pays for itself a thousandfold. To manufacturers hav ing their head offices in New York, branches in other cities and towns and factories somewhere m the country, the service has become practically indis pensable; the periodical daily talks be tween the chief of the firm and manager of the factory or branch office place all their affairs so thoroughly in touch with each other that no manufacturing concern who has once adopted the serv ice to its needs would be without it for p. single day were the cost twice what it is. Bankers, brokers and law yers form another large class of pat rons, but it was among the manufactur ers that the long-distance telephone first "caught on," and they have stead fastly availed themselves of it from the time of its establishment as a commer cial means of communication. l '•'-nirhic dispatches. be I. 1 ■imev i r n j (4e by uivoTöi'b; i-r tac». : j it * PHONOGRAPHS FOR DEAFNESS* A Washington Physic lau Introduce# tb» Instrument In His Practice. When Edison invented the phono graph he used the human ear as • guide, and the construction of that ma chine involved the mechanical design upon which the ear is fashioned. Probably he had no idea of applying the invention to the cure of deafness, but science has begun to do that. A well-known Washington physician is a believer in the phonograph as a remedy for that affliction. home strengthened his belief, and he has introduced the phonograph into his practice. Deafness in most cases, the doctor says, comes from catarrh. The passage from the throat to the ear be comes choked and a coating forms on the bones of the ear which interferes with vibration. As this coating Chickens and hardens the vibratory power be comes less, and when it ceases the function of the ear drum is suspended. The doctor's idea is that vibratory force Applied to the ear by means of a phono graph must quicken the ear drum and affect the coating of the inner bones. Gradually this coating must be dis lodged, and with the completion of that process hearing will be restored. This may happen in the majority of cases in about two months, he thinks, with daily treatment of twenty minutes' duration. He has prepared a variety of cylinders to produce different sound ef fects. The intensity of the vibrations is under the control of the operator, so that treatment may be varied as neces sary. The sensation is said by the New Orleans Times-Democrat to be pleasant to the deaf. To persons of normal bearing the sounds rumble and clatter like the noise of a railroad train. Musical cylinders are not suited to the treatment, although in certain cases bugle calls, concert solos and the chimes •f loud bells may be used to advantage. Experiments at Incredible Brutality.
