The exports of wooden manufactures
from Bradford, England. under the
German tariff during the twelve months
ended August 81, 1895. were 6,447 per
cent. larger than in the previous twelve
months.
Bradford's exports of carpets and
rugs were si3 per cent. larger In 1925,
and this with free wool In the United
States. Bradford's exports of worsted
coatings were 4s7 per cent. larger; OF
worsted and mohair yarns the increase
was $40 per cent. of wooden stuffs the
increase was 276 per cent; and In the
sundry articles OF wooden manufacture
there was an increase of $50 per cent.
This Is the actual result Of our free
trade In raw wool. Our wooden manu-
facturers were promised that, with free
wool, they would be enabled not only
to control the American market but
also TO capture the trade In wooden
manufactures in the markets of the
world. The result, however, Is that
one little wooden manufacturing dis

LINDE's LIQUID AIR.

The Most Powerful hcfrigerant That Can

The rapidity with which scientific
discoveries nowadays receive Industrial
application is illustrated In the con-
struction by Herr Linde. n German
chemical engineer of q large plant
for the manufacture of liquid air. Asa
refrigerator liquid air is in demand, be-
ing the most powerful Of refrigerators.
A further use OF Herr Lines plant 10
the economical production. or. rather
concentration, of oxygen. since In the
process of cooling and condensation the
air in his apparatus steadily becomes
richer in oxygen until the gas becomes
20 per cent. of the product. At this
strength oxygen gas Is sufficiently good
for certain practical purposes and COM
mands purchasers. The cost Of the gas
thus prepared Is much less than that OF
oxygen obtained by any other process
The Linde apparatus embraces pow
erfnl engine to compress air. The COM
pressed air Is cooled by ordinary means
cold water. for example. IL Is then
passed into a spiral pipe over 100 yards
long, which pipe is inclosed In a second
spiral pipe. by letting little of the
compressed air in the inner pipe escape
into the space between the two pipes a
low temperature is obtained, and the
inner tube and It's contents are further
chilled. Each successive portion Of the
compressed air in TIE inner pipe reaches
the point OF escape into the outer pipe
cooler than the portions that have pre-
ccdcd II, and thus reaches lower tenn
cumulative, and at length the air fiow-
ing In the inner tube is cooled TO the
point OF liquefaction. after which
continuous stream of liquid mir is mere
ly question OF engine power.

TO the season in which the bird was
killed.
These changes are remarkable"
said Mr.. Chapman, "for they are very
radical. and sometimes take place in a
single week without the loss of a single
feather, there being no moulting. This
change Is a wonderful example OF pro-
tectiye colorntion, the bird in summer
being nearly the color of the moss and
Arctic shrubbery and in winter that of
the snow. Some naturalists claim that
this remarkable change Is not protec-
tive colorntion, but that II is due TO en-
yironment."
The collection contains some most
beautiful specimens of the sandpipers,
in their bright summer piumage; also
of the swift flying falcons. The sum
mer loon, with its beautiful shaded
neck feathers, used by the natives for
personal ornament, has fine repre-
sentative i'm the collection.

portion Of the feathers on the back and

Lieut.. Peary did not prepare these

ployed the native women for the pur-
pose. These women have anoyel meth
cd of preparing the skins, and one very
different from that employed by MS.
They clean them by chewing them.
"When these women cleaners OF bird

OF the Treasury.
The house carried out it's plan and
passed the revenue tariff bill reported
by the committee on ways and means.
OF course, the democratic members OPP
posed the measure. and the populists
sided with them. But the democratic
argument was weak. All that could
be said was that the treasury held
about Si7o.o0o, 600. or more than enough
for present needs. and that the presi-
dent and the secretary Of the treasury
believed the revenues were all right.
The speakers neglected TO say that
nearly every dollar now available has
come not from the revenues. but from
the sale Of bonds, ostensibly for the
purpose OF maintaining the gold re-
serve, and really for the purpose Of
making good the revenue deficiency.
The republicans had the courage OF
their conviction that no small part OF
the present treasury trouble has come
from the steadily-increasin deficit,
and so they voted solidly for the bill,
which Is expected to add about S40..
100000 10 the governments income.
The new bill gives increased protec-
ton to nearly the whole tariff list. but
II is not put forward as a complete
tariff measure. Its primary purpose Is
10 raise revenue. 1t is an emergency
measure, and its operation in limited
to two and one-half years. The re-
publican leaders favor IL because 1t up
pears TO be the best which can hope
for the approval OF the president, not
on the ground that it meets every need.
II viii restore the balance between gov
eminent income and expenditure. and
that is one of the great requirements of
the moment.
The people of this locality approve the
bill because of the increased protection
II gives to their interests. Many OF
these were sorely smitten by the Will
son-Gorman enactment. Especially was
this true of agricultural products, all
the duties on which were ruthlessly
cut, while that on wool was removed
entirely. The house puts a duty of
6 4-10 cents on clothing wool and adj
vances that on other schedules Is per
cent, provided that such advance does
not exceed the Mckinley rate.
The wool growers, potato raisers and
farmers generally of Rensselaer, coun-
~ and vicinity are thus assured that
the republican house has promptly
done all in It's power 70 give them better
safeguards against foreign aggression.
Should the bill become n law IL will
impose higher duties on shirts, collars
and cuffs. cotton and wooden knit goods
end oilcloth, and many other products
of this manufacturing district. The
busy workers OF Troy and vicinity find
n republican house lSeenly alive TO their
needs.
II is impossible to say how long the
measure will be under consideration in
the senate. The rules OF that body pro-
vide for almost unlimited debate, and
the democratic senator's, once moro In
the minority. doubtless will use every
effort to delay progress. Obstruction Is
their strong hold, and they can be de-
pended upon TO work against the rescue
of the country from the results OF dem
ocratic folly.--Troy Times.

cies-ifow the skins Were Cured ~ the
Native Women.
Birds of strange feather are many
OF those In the collection brought by
Lieut.. peary from northern Greenland.
They were shown and their pecuiiari-
ties pointed out by Mr.. Frank M. Chap
man. assistant curator of the ornitho-
logical department OF the New York
Museum Of Natural History, before the
Linnaean society.
MIR. Chapman exhibited the so or
more specimens that constitute the
Peary collection and which has been
prepared under his direction. These
specimens arc only . small part OF
Lieut.. Peary's original collection, the
greater part of which having been
eaten by the dogs when the provisions
Of the expedition had run low.
~Thcre are 140 species of birds re-
ported from Greenland" said Mr.. Chap
man. "one-half Of which properly be-
long to the country, the other half
being found there on their visits from
other lands. Fifty OF these are wafer
birds"
The lecturer then showed the birds,
and in conversational manner de-
scribed them, dwelling particularly on
the plumagc.
An interesting member of the collec-
ton is guillemot that was shot by
Lieut.. Peary. "The guillemots live in
enormous colonies" explained Mr..
Chapman, "and as the tens of thousands
of females sit each on a single egg. on
the edge OF a cliff, with their black sum-
mer backs toward the sea, they darken
the rocks. When approached by boat,
in their fright they suddenly turn, pre-
senting their light breasts, and thus In
stantly apparently transform the rock
from black TO white. Then, as they
take fight. they often carry their eggs
some distance between their legs. and
literally pelt the approaching boatmen
with them"
The specimens of the guillemots show
the remarkable change in the plumage
of Arctic birds from the dark of summer
to the light of winter. This change Is
strongly emphasized in the specimens
of lagosus in the collection, which are
sufficient in number to show every grad
uation from black TO white. according
