heads and push along through life
with little trouble, but with rollers
under them there is a difference
and it is easier to hit the floor
with a dull thud with the feet
pointing toward the ceiling, than
to preserve your balance and sail
gracefully around the room, but
you will soon learn, and the pleas
ure will crowd from the mind all
mishaps incident to learning to
to skate.
This morning a Herald man
interviewed J. S. Bilby, of the U.
S. Coast and Geodetic Surveying
corps, which has been at work
some time in the vicinity of Point
Isabel, on the nature of the work
and its object. Mr. Bilby says the
work is known as the 9Sth me
ridian triangulation, and the corps
had been measuring a base line
connecting with an old coast line
triangulation made by Maj. Halter
some thirty years ago. This 9Sth
meridian is geodetic work to deter
mine the curvature of the earth, and
extends from Point Isabel to Canada
where the Canadian government
takes up the work north, and the
Mexican government takes up the

COTTON SPINNERS HERE.
Arc Seeking Information on the Growing
and Handling of the Fleecy Staple
in America.
r
The six English spinners who
are touring America with the view
of thoroughly acquainting them
selves with American methods of
growing and handling cotton ar
rived in Brownsville yesterday.
The personnel of the party is H.
V. McAlister of Oldham, Eng;
George Moores of Manchester, W.
J. Orr of Rockdale, Henry P.
Greg bf Manchester, Thomas D
Barlow of Manchester, and G.
Leonard Bolden of Manchester.
Mr. McAlister is chairman of the
party and Mr. Moore is secretary.
Accompanying them are: J. R.
Maccoll of Providence, R. L,., pre
sident of the New England cotton
Manufacturers' Association, and
H. D. Martin, a prominent cotton
man of Paris, Tex.
Speaking of the visitors and the
object of their trip the San Anto
nio Express says:
Asked if he did not think it
would be viser from a financial
point of view for English spinners
to invest in lands in Texas, where
it is positively known that cotton
can be grown, than to continue the
experiments of sinking money in
Africa in the endeavor to reclaim
lands and adapt them to cotton
culture, Mr. McAlister, chairman
of the group, said:
"I see only this advantage, that
in this country it is certain that
cotton can be grown, while in some
of the British possessions it is an
experiment. But the English -are
not asleep. Like Americans, they
have their eyes open to make
money, whether it be planting cot-j y
ton" in Texas or'in the British pos- ,
session. We have been to Washing-; v
'ton and have made inquiry about ; sf
your alien laws, and we are going '
i again. We wish to know if there 5
j is any difficulty about us holding j
i the land and upon what.couditiona 4
; we can hold it. This phase we are, A
! carefully considering." ! r
