Feom Circular to Manutacturers and Dea'ers fn Codge. In view of the very large present and prospective demand it is fair to presume that the production of the raw material and the maoufacture of e2ms into binding cord,and will very s00n beecme one of the most impor- tant industrics of this country and Eu- rope. Tt Is probably safe to” estimate that from four to five thousand tous will be required for the year 1881; say ten W THE ! the United States aud Earope; los tar and oil from the g the soas to preveat weakenlng surface, the cord, We have no doubt bat that this verg fmportant brauch cf industry inill at oncs command the attention of cordage manufacturers throughout and that the capacity for mnufacturing will b very largely and rapidly ta- oreased. But in order to bave the demand for eord fally supplied ab Fensonable prices, it 1 Indispensably necerdary that the prodvetton of the raw materlal should bs very largely Increased. And it is cqually manifest that the increase in production should be made as far as possible In American mpterials. Sisal is producel in the tropleal countries, princl in Y peninsula of Mexico), but h ratsed to some extent in the portion of Fiorids. Manila is pro- duced on the Phillipive or Manila Telands, and consequently must ba imported either it the raw material, or vord, for use ia thie country. Hemp Is grown to a considerable ex- tent In_this country, particalarly in Kentucky; Tennessee, Missovri and Obio, aud fts production should be very largely increased. Cotten, being an American product on, should also be nsed largely; but flax is the best msterial to rely upon, from the fact that It is equally practicabls to use in the mnutactore of cord, and can be very successfully and profitably rafsed in s lsrge portion of the United States, and especially in the Middls and Western States, Heretofore flax has been raized to a greater o less extent in Ohio, Ksn- tecky, Indiaoa, Illinois, Micsourl, Towa and Kansas, but as’there was very little demand for the lint, the crop was rafsed for the seed only, the prieo of which was largely controlled or regulated by the importation of seed, but now that there Is 4 positive and almost unlimited demand for the straw, which will no doubt pay the ex- pense of raising the crop, the growing of the flux must prove very profitabls. And we atrongly urge farmers In all of the territory adapted to It, to lmme- distely engage in the growing of flax on a very extentive scale. In this connection 1t may :130_be proper to slate that as the value of the lint de- pends largely upon_tho length of the straw, fl.x should be sowa on strong land, which should be very carefully prepared by harrowing aud rolling 8o a8 to make the surface emocth, to fa- cilitate cutting the crop very close to thy ground, and securing the fall leng b of ths straw. T: is also equaly important that emall break mills b established In each neighborhood where fl x it grown, by parties who will pu.chase aud break the straw, removing the woody substance, and bale the lint for shipping to cord manufacturers, which should be established at various points in the states where flax Is grown. We balieve it is safe to estimate thst within five years the annusl coveumption of binding cord will amount to, say twelve to fifteen mil lion of dollars. And if the pelicy euggested is pursusd, tho material can be produced, and the cord manu- factured in America, ond should be bought aud sold by jobbers and re- tail dealers generally throughout the grain growing districts of this coun- try and Europe, the same sa any other staple articles. HIS GAPITAL IN SNAKES. THE SIDE SHOW MAN PREPARING FOR HIS SUMMER TRIP—SERPENTS AS BED FELTOWS. N. Y. Sun, The man of whom a garish side- show cauvas represouting a snake charmer entwined, withgsnakes scripiive, sat by bis box of rep! his home in Brooklyna few da Glling soma bottles with keep them warm, *“T hard winter on my snakes,” he he placed 2ome of the bottles beneath the blankets on which a boa constrict- or and an ansconda wero coiled, *‘and I have had hard work to keep them. 1 have to_keep them warm all the time, and the simplest way is to put them in a tight box of thick plne, with a glass strip in the sides, to crowd in as many blankets as are needed, and to pils bottles of hot water in the centre, 6o that the enakes can coil around them. I have lost $500 worth of enakes by the cold weather heretofore, and as these snakes sre worth about $160 each, I am careful, of them, beckuse there is no life insurance company for snakes you know.”” “‘Oace T was traveling in the North- west with six snakes, anacondes, boas and black snakes, and we were caught ina cold snap. I had no way of warming them, and I saw that they were begloning to gt cbilled. You cau’t build a fice for them, you know. You have to have peculiar appliances to heat them, euch a8 they have iu the menagerie at Central park, where the snake lies upon a sheet iron shelf warmed by an oil stova, I knew that todelay was to lose all my property, sol had & bed made for myself, aud covered with blanke:s. Then I crawl- ed in and lifted my srakes in after me. I sleptall night with those six snakesinmy bed. I have known men In bed to see snakes when there ‘were nono around, but I ‘hed’ ‘em’ in eslity, and I count it the most profit- rble night I ever spent.” “When do you feed the snakes?” “‘Onee In three monthe—four mesls a year—breakfast, lunch, dinner and thousand tcns for 1882; twenty thou- sand tons for 1883; thirty thousand tous for 1884, and probably not less than forty thousand tons, or four thousand ~ car loads, ~estimating ten tons a car, for the year 1885; and in order to supply this enormeuely heavy and rapldly increasing demand for cord, a propor- tionate Increass in the productfon of the raw materlal, also in the num- ber and capacity of cordage manufac- turers, will be absolutely necessary, and the labor saved in the field by the use of automatic binders will be needed, and utllized in the produc- tion of the raw material and in man- ufacturing the same into binding cord, until the labor and eapital thus will represent many millions Experionce has clearly domon- strated that.it is practicable to use either sical, manila, homp, flax or cotton as a material for manufactur- iog cord. The cord should run not less than 600, ror more than 700 feet, to the poand, and the tensile strength should not be less than eighty pounds. Dey cord of this description can, we believe, be used satisfactorily in con- nection with any successful cord binder manufactured. Sisal and maaila, ono ply or single line, works well, while hemp and flax #nould bo made three or four ply, and cotton six, eight or ten, or sy num- ber of plys necessary to attain the pro- per strength. 1In manofactaring the cord, animal otlshouldn’t be uses, as its liablo to in- vite insects and eause the cord to heat and rot or become damaged in the ball. Caal or mineral oil of sny kind may be used saccasefully in the manufac tare of cord, and where deeired may be made insect or weather proof by using & very slight solutlon of, ray absut two per cont of coal oil and two per cent of tar, mixed; or, say not to exceed flva per cent of tar and coal oil heated i any proper manner, sod iofused Into the cord; bub in doing so especial care must be taken not to cause an abrasion of the fibre in press- supper.” “What do they eat?” “Rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, young chickens, pigeons, alwsys ~ living creatures. 1 put an animal into the box and the snake strikes 1t once with its tail and it fs-as dead as though lightning had struck it. Then the soake throws one coil around it and crushes every bone n its body. Next It ojects a slime over it, and, stretching out, gulps it down whole. It is woanderful how it swallows a mass several times bigger than its body.” ““Does the animal make a meal” “No, it takes about six. I will feed to thete two a dozen young chickens in about three weeks, and that will last them until sammer.” Liftiog his enakes out of their box, thelr owner allowed them to entwine themselves arcand his arm, kiss his cheeks and lips, and crawl around his body aud down his leg: ““Ob,” he said, ‘“chey are as harm: less as doves-and as wise as serpents, The forked tongue which you sea i not poisonous. The popular impres- sion is that the snake mses this to dart its venom, but the fact is that it is only a feeler for the snake during its- period cf blind- § tbe{,oru it sheds It skin, L ave only one weapon, An o e e o BT e to ses that they don’t coil around my throat, for they might choke me to death o a very few minutes. I have besn bitten by thom several tlues on the face, but the wound is not danger- ous. It inflames fome, showing that | ak, there is slight poison In the bite, and althoogh slow in_caring, it finally heals withont ascar. A rattlesnake has a hollow fang with which it bites, and at the same instant ejects a stream of poison as though from a tiny syr- inge into the wound. I have extract: od these fangs, but in s few months others grow in their places. 1 have handled rattlesnakes in my time, but T don't like their company. It requires sXill to handle them, but I don’t con- sidor that it does to handle boas and anacondas. The skill with them s fn keeping them in condition. This climate is very hard on the tropicl cnakes.” ““Are there snake doctors?” “Tam the only one, I believe. I have snako medicines. ~The beat rem. edy for thelr sickness Is burnt alum and whits honey; bat whena sanke begina to go i’s hard to save him.” “How do yott transport snakes!” ““In a box fn a glass cage. I ride In Eostiime In the stage in & proc. fon, with the snakes crawling over me. I allow no one else to handle them. My whole capital is In snakes.” 1he Edison Light. New York S For several evenings past the pub lic have had an opportaniy of secing for themeelves just what sort of a light Mr. Edison has succeeded in producing. At the headquarters of the Edison company, on Fifth avenue, tha parlor floor of a larga house s brillisntly tilluminated with electric lamps of his devising. It #an not be denled by the most._prejadiced ownsr of qas stocks that the light is beauti- ful and b t. The drawing room is lighted by a Large chandelier carrying a dozen or more lamps, and is as bright as day. A more brilliant and a steadicr light could not bo desired. There is none of the flicker so frequently observed in some of the e'ectric lights, and which alco characteriz s galight; bot the ineandescent carbon horsesbues glow with a qulet and steady fotensity. The electric curront is turned on_and off like gas, aud the instant the electricity is let tn upon the carbon it becomes brilliant. No more convenient light, thercfore, could be had. No> ma:ch 1s required to igoite It. It is clean, odorless and almost without heat. ‘the haud may be pressed against the glass bulbs io- side which the light glows without dlscomfort. But this electric light has its dis- advautages slso. It pains the eye to look at it, and therefore it ought to be placed high over the heads of people. It is 30 white and pure that complex- ions are exposed by it as they are at P andy sea beach. Tha tifices which women useto enchaace thelr beauty, or to concaalthe ravages of 2ge or of care, avail little In the presecce of the electric light. It searches out every personal defect like a bright, uuclouded summer sun, But probably, by means of proper shanes. it could be srftensd 5o as to make it more gratefal. Balanclng its advantages and disad- vantrges, howcver, the Edison light unquestionably has th - preponderance in 1ts fivor as wo now so it exhibited. If tho company which owas its pateut can realiy supoly shops and dwellings with lamps like those which glow in its Fifth avenue headquarters at as cheap a rato as that charged for gas, there i1 no doubt that it will be in wide demand. If the light can be re- lied on for confinuous use, if it can be sopplied just ae the people want it, if it can be maintained without the necsssity for complicated repairs, and if it is cheap, Mr. Edison has solved the question of adapting the electric light to domes ic use, and has mado a great fortune fur himself and his back- ers. We are, howaever, still loft in doubt as to what tha cost of the light will be. We shall not know until wo see the experiment made, whethor It can bo successfully supplied over large . dis- tances at a low cost which will be re- pumerative to its manufacturers. The brilliant 'ighting of a single house for the purposes of exhibition can not be accepted as matisfactory evidenca of his trlumph. All the conditlons thers are in his favor, and the field is very limited. Only when we find him lighting a large distelot of the city for months together, can wo call his suc- cess complete. We hope he will yet do thls, for such a light as that which floods the Fifth avenue house is greatly needed. It would facilitate many industries, and it would tend to the pressrvation off the health of the workers now injurlously affected by gaslight, pro- vided it was 8o arranged as not to hart their eyesight. It would give & new Impetus to night work, and make its prosecution as easy as by day, so far as {llumination is concerned. The advance from the old rush lights to candles, to il lamps, and finally to gas, enormously increased the iatel. lectual produtivity of the world, gave literaturo a vast ald, and stimu- lated the growth of the arts and sei- ences. And if now we can avail our- selves of a still more brilliant illomi- uatlon at night, which producss no odors aod _h*s no injarlous emana- tions, the day will practically have mo ¢ end, and the nervous energy of the race will be called on to endure a new straln. Mr. Edison claims to have accom- plished this Improvement, but the profossors of physics, with few excep- tions, refuse to belleve him. Trey deny his sbility to farnish the electric light at a cost which will bring it fnto geveral use, and In a maoner which will make it as convenient and trust- worthy as gaslight.
