Science Notes
BY WILLIAM G. HAYNES.
Cotton in Natural Colors.
Instead of having to dye cotton, we
may in future grow it whatever color
we desire. Colored cotton is already
grown in various parts of the world,
and we have only to assemble the col
ored varieties in our own country, and
produce intermediate tints by inter
breeding, to obtain the result suggest
ed above. In order that this may be
brought about, of course, the differ
ent colored varieties must breed true;
that is, the seeds of yellow, green or
red cotton must always produce cot
ton of that one particular color. That
this is true, and that the colors are not
due to the influence of soil or other
environment, have been proved by A.
W. Brabham, a plant breeder of Olar,
South Carolina. Says a writer in New
York World Sunday Magazine:
"The production of cotton tinted by
nature with any color desired is the
newest and most revolutionary depart
ure attempted in the cotton-growing
industry, and one which may have far
reaching effects In the United States.
"Commercially, the achievement of
natural colors in cotton would obvi
ate the use of chemical dyes, which,
besides their expense, are said to dam
age the fabric of the cheaper varieties
of cotton-stuffs. With the perfection
of the new process it would be pos
sible to feed to the looms, to suit any
design, cotton threads colored by na
ture with tints which could not fade.
“The leading apostle of colored cot
tons is A. W. Brabham, of Olar, S. C.
He points out what is scarcely known
to the American public—acquainted
only with white cotton—that already
there exists species of cotton of many
various hues.
"Besides the white cotton of the
United States, Peru produces a cotton
with reddish lint; brown cotton is
grown in Egypt, Peru and Hawaii; a
yellow cotton Is produced in China;
and India has a gray cotton. In addi
tion, a green cotton has been evolved
in South Carolina, and even a jet-black
cotton is said to have developed in
Mexico. C. H. Clarke, of Boston, has
written to Brabham that it has prov
ed feasible in laboratary experiments
to produce a blue cotton.
"Brabham’s chief contribution to the
introduction of colored cottons is his
proof that the different species wheth
er from Peru, Egypt or China, will
i breed true to color in whatever soil
j they are planted. It was at first
thought that the hues of the line were
due to peculiarles of the earth in
which the cotton grew. But by ex
periments in South Carolina, he has
I established that the seed from gray
I cotton In India produces gray cotton
! wherever planted; and that the same
is true of red cotton from Peru, yel
low cotton from China, and brown cot
ton from Egypt. It is well establish
ed that white cotton from North Caro
lina or Texas also remains white cot
ton in the tropics.
“The American experimenter may
thus have at his disposal eight differ
ent hues of cotton—white, red, brown,
yellow, gray, green, blue and black.
According to Brabham, by interbreed
ing it will be possible to blend these
colors inti all the intermediate tints.
For instance, by breeding white and
red cotton together we should arrive
at a fixed type of pink cotton; by
blending red and blue cotton we
should achieve purple cotton; and the
intermixture of black cotton should
give us darker hues of all the other
colors."—Literary Digest.
The following questions and ans
wers are taken from the Scientific
American and may be of interest to
those who wish to enlarge their gen
eral knowledge:
J. J. F. asks: Please inform me,
when an automobile is going around'a
curve, which wheel leaves the ground
—the outer or the inner? Does the
same apply to a railroad train on a
track going around a curve? A. A ve
hicle of any kind turns toward the
outer side of the curve, when It is
overturned by rounding the turn too
fast. This is the effect of the centrif
ugal force produced by the high ve
locity of the vehicle. The name cen
trifugal means fleeing from the center.
As the pressure of the vehicle is out
ward, the outer wheels press harder
on the ground or rails than the inner,
and the vehicle overturns upon the
outer wheels as a center. Thus the
inner wheels must leave the ground
first.
C. O. W. asks: Are all living cells
necessarily germs? Could a bone cell
or a tissue cell properly be called a
germ? In other words ,do the two
words, cell and germ, have exactly
the same meaning? A. A germ is a
cell with peculiar possibilities. If fer
tilized, it develops into an embryo,
and becomes finally like the parent
from which it originally came. A cell
from a piece of bone has no such pos
sibilities. If a bone is injured the
cells adjacent to the injury do not
propagate other bone cells and thus
join the broken ends together. New'
cells are formed from material which
the animal develops In the gap be
tween the broken ends, and the union
is thus completed. All living cells
are not germ cells.
GETTING RELIGION.
You can’t go much on folks who git
Religion in a day;
An’ claim they knew when they “cum
through”
Their sins wuz washed away.
I<’er when they git excited
An’ their blood gits overhet,
It’s ten to one they’ll say sum things
They afterwards regret.
They ain’t no sense in jumpin’ round
An’ shoutin’ like you’re mad,
They’s saner ways of showin’ that
With all th’ world you’re glad.
An’ too it doesn’t matter much
Jes when it is er where,
You’ll find HIM ever waitin’ fer
Th’ sinner’s humble prayer.
—Chicago Defender.
