The United States census Of 1910,
which was the first one where elements
other than that of population were in
troduced, shows a wooden factories
that spun yarn, and 9,2js, 269 yards of
wooden cloth woven in families, valued
at S4,4l3,000. In 1860 wooden estab-
lishments had increased 10 2,020. en-
ploying 10000 work people of various
grades, and producing goods valued at
S67 100000 annually, The demand for
blankets and clothing for the soldiers
during the rebellion caused a general
advance in prices, and corresponding
increase in factories, so that in 1870
persons employed in the manufacture
numbered $1,000, who produced goods
valued at Sl77,000,000, The demand
for wooden fabrics naturally increases
with the population. Since 1888 this
country has imported wool, either man
ufactured or in the raw, 10 the value of
over 81, 200, 100000, and for the past
four years, in the aggregate. Sl700OO,-
600 has been brought in while the eX-
port has been comparatively triiling,-
In 1875 the total duties on wool and
wooden textures amounted to $50, OLA
036, which is the largest annual 'reve-
nue. the government has received on
these articles, with the exception of the
four years previous TO 1913. BY this ex-
hilton it will be seen that the wool
grower in the United States meets with
remunerative reward for his labor. -
In fact, II is another evidence that al
most any legitimate occupation in this
country pays when properly attend
ed to. " Y. Commercial ADVERTISER

EDISON'S NEW LAMPS.
How They Have Borne the Test for Ten
Days, and What the Inventor Says
New York SUM-

Much depends on the new lamps now In use
In MEMO Park. SO far, nearly ten days since
they were set up, they have remained without
cracking, except in one or two instances,
where the glass globes were imperfectly
blown. 1t will be remembered that In the
case Of the old globes it was found that al
though the amount of contraction aud expan-
sion Of glass and platinum were the same.
one expanded to Its full extent before the
other, and the cracking of the glass followed.
In the new lamp 1t has been found that the
coeificients Of platinum and Of the new mate
rial that Il applied to the tubes at the point
where they are pierced by the platinum wires
are equal. That Is to say, the contraction and
expansion are Simultaneous, as near as can
be ascertained. Mr.. Edison says, If these
globes hold out as they have given promise
of doing, there will he little else to do but to
put the whole plan into practical operation.
Numbers of persons continue to visit Menlo
Park. In the office, through which it Is nee
essary to pass to reach the laboratory, Is kept
a registry book. In this every visitor Is re-
quested to write his name The book Is said
to contain the names of nearly all the large
gas stock owners in the country.
