To Keep Apples.

A Kansas paper says that several
cars of assorted apples from the ia
nous Wellhouse orchard in that
state have gone into cold storage,
enabling the owners TO obtain a
higher price and surer market. On
their arrival in Philadelphia or Bal
timore they go Immediately into the
refrigerating rooms, where it has
been found that fruit will keep al
most indefinitely if the temperature
is not allowed to vary. Apples put
into these rooms do not need sorting
or inspection until the time comes
for them to go on the retail. Then
next May or June the fruit will be
taken out just as fresh as they were
picked, and bring, il is said, at times
as much as 10 cents a piece, Cold
storage is one Of the hortieulturist's
greatest allies.

FOUR KILLED BY A TREE.
An Entire Family Lose Their Lives
While Camping Out.

ELKINs, w. VA, Oct 2S.-John
Carr, his wife, and two sons were
killed last night by falling tree.
They lived at Dry Forks, about ten
miles from here, and had started out
on ginseng-digging trip. Expect
ing to remain out for week, they
had provided themselves with a
camping outfit. Last night they
pitched their tent under a large dead
oak tree. 1t was very cold, and a
fire was built Immediately behind
the tent. While the family slept the
embers were blown against the tree,
which took fire near the root and
burned through. eventually falling
on the tent and directly across the
sleeping family.
Mr.. Carr was crushed. His wife's
head was also crushed, and the
younger son broken from his chest
to his knees. The other boy was
mortally hurt, but he managed to
crawl to John Longs cabin, about a
mile away. There he lived long
enough to tell his story, dying soon
after.

In the Cab Of Il Fast Locomotive.

The locomotive engineer is re-
markably placid fellow, with a hab-
it of deliberate precision in his look
and motions. He occasionally turns
calm eye to his guages and then
resumes his quiet watch ahead. The
three levers which he has to manip-
ulate are under his hand ready for
instant use, and when they are used
it is quietly and in order, as an or
ganist pulls out his stops. The
noise in the cab makes conversation
difficult, but is not as bad as that
heard in car when passing another
train, with or without the windows
open, and in looking out of the en-
CINE cab the objects are approached
gradually, not rushed past as when
one looks literally out of parlor
car window. The fact is the engineer
does not look at the side-he is look.
ing ahead, and therefore the speed
seems less, as the objects are ap-
preached gradually. Those who
have ridden at 90 miles an hour on
a locomotive know that on good
road land there are many such the

in terrific manner" but is rather

ings that he feels nervous, and it is
doubtful if it is any more strain to

According to the report just made
by special Treasury agent the to
tai production of tin plate during
the past year was 1913, 100000 pounds,
against 100000 pounds for the
previous year. During the year
twenty six new companies began
manufacturing tin plate, and seven
teen are now making or preparing to
make black plate. With the new
mills now being constructed the
country will have capacity of $780,
100000 pounds a year, or within
100000 pounds of its total annual
consumption. These figures, how
ever, must not be mentioned before
any Republican who thinks we can
not make tin plate without McKin-
ley protection.

Imports and the Crop Surplus.

The sum of $43, 000, 900, represent
ing the excess of imports over ex-
ports for the nine months ending
with September, is inconsiderable in
proportion to the volume of our
trade. But even were it much larg-
er it would not afford suitable raw
material for the calamity that home
market" advocates are so anxious to
manufacture.
The period from 1866 to 1872 is
one to which high protectionists
have frequently pointed with pride
yet il is period in which the an
nual excess of imports over exports
ranged from $43, 600 900 to $lS3, 900
900. Such facts cannot be left out
of consideration when it is attempt
ed TO show that we are damaged by
getting more wealth from abroad
than we send abroad in exchange.
1t is more important at present,
however, to devote attention chiefly
to facts of current history, and it is
fact that the apparent gain in the
value of imports is largely due to the
decrease in the foreign prices paid
last year for onr agricultural ex-
ports.
According to tables just prepared
by the Secretary of Agriculture agri-
cultural exports for the year ending
with last June fell $90,000,000 be-
low the average annual total of the
last six years. The total exports of
wheat, -four and cotton for the year
brought $160,000,000 less than they
would have brought at the prices of
1892.
This loss was directly due to the
disturbance in our foreign markets
caused by such understood
causes as the passage of the McKin
ley and Sherman bills, following
financial disturbances which began
with the Barring failure Our crop
surplus is chiefly moved by English
productiveness. If English indus
tries are Frustrated the American
crop surplus moves slowly and at
lower prices.
For the twelve months ending
with last June the operatives in Eng
lish factories who consume our sur
plus of breadstuffs and provisions
were on short rations. Our prices
went down in consequence. Their
cotton mills were less active than
usual and our cotton prices went
down. The demand for cash to set
tie balances was a necessary result.
1t must be membered, however,
that these were conditions of panic
years-that they are not conditions
of the present. The advance in cot
ton is heavily in onr favor, and if we
can market Western breadstuffs and
provisions to advantage the country
may soon become more prosperous
than it ever was before. Every one
who thinks at all knows that the |
only possible way to do this is to
take commodity imports in ex
change for great part of the sur
plus we wish to market There is |
not spare cash enough in all Europe
to move our crop surplus of this
year. The increase in imports means
primarily possibility of increasing
our exports and getting better
prices for them. If we followed the
Mckinley plan the only prospect
ahead of us would be that of using
surplus breadstuffs for fuels as was
done when home market fnanciers
had control of the World.

As for many years the postoffice
department last year failed to make
both ends meet In round numbers
the outgo was $50, 100000 and the
income 7.000.000-the difference
being 100000. The receipts in
creased 81 100000, but expenditures
increased $2,465,000. The heaviest
item of expenditure is railroad mail
transportation, which amounts to
$26,43O,000. The salaries of post
masters and their clerks amount to
$25, 100000. The free delivery ser
vice cost over $12,000,000. AS a
matter of curiosity it is interesting
to look at the figures of a hundred
years ago. In 1895 the expendi,
lures of the postal department were
$117,S93, while the receipts were
$160,620. A small business then,
but the balance on the right side.
