summary of WORDS Commeros.

ashington, April 19.-The bureau OF
statistics of the state department has
just received from the printer the an
nual review OF the worlds commerce.,
q volume introductory TO the commercial
relations of the United States with
foreign countries. This little volume IL
full OF figures, giving In compact form a
great deal OF Information that must be
of value TO persons interested in the ex-
port trade, as II is easy to ascertain from
its pages the state of our trade relations
with any country in the world. An in
teresting feature of the publication is an
introduction by Frederick ID. Emory,
chief OF the bureau of statistics of the
state department, summarizing certain
OF the more important sections of the
volume. Mr.. Emory says the figures
given establish the significant fact that
the foreign trade of the United States
last year showed steady increase in
the export OF manufactured goods. the
percentage OF such exports rising from
e4.93 per cent i'm 1895 to 25.7l last year.
Meantime the percentage of agricul-
tural exports declined slightly from 67.5s
to 67.SS. Mr.. Emory finds additional
confirmation of the relatively rapid ad-
vance of the foreign trade of the United
States In Some figures presented to the
British parliament by the British board
OF trading showing that while Great
Britain still retains her lead over other
countries i'm exports of manufactures.
the United States is advancing at more
rapid pace than the mother country, and
that the advancement islarger in amount
and much larger in proportion than the
advance made by GERMANY

Enormous Bird Eggs.

In several museums in Europe there
may be seen specimens of birds eggs
which are almost as large as two-gal-
Ion jug. These eggs are laid by the
cpiornis, an extinct and gigantic bird
Of Madagascar. The cubic bulk Of these
eggs is eight times that of the egg of the
ostrich, which means that each of them
is equal in point of capacity to $50 hers
eggs.
The first discovery Of these interest
ing relics of past times was made by,
the captain of Il merchant vessel which
had stopped at port on the northeast
ern coast of Madagascar to trade with
the natives. During the stay at the
point mentioned the curious vessels
used by the natives for water vases at
tracted the attention of the captain.
Upon investigation it was found that
these odd utensils We're in reality gil
gantic egg shells cut in halves. Upon
questioning the water carriers in re-
gard to the bird that laid the eggs and
theplace where they We're procured, the
captain was given to understand that
the bird itself was unknown, but tla.
the eggs were discovered in large sand
bank some distance away in tie up
country and could not be found else
where to the knowledge of the natives.
An offer to purchase all that could be
procured soon resulted in the discovery
of several fine specimens, all of which
fell into the hands OF Isadore G.. st.
Hilaire, the French naturalist. These
curiosities were afterward distributed
among the largest museums.

A New ADe.

At a recent meeting of the members Of
the Anthropological Institute, in Lon
don, Lieutenant B. r. Somerville read
paper upon personal observations
made by him during lengthy stay in,
the islands while on surveying duty on
Fl. NJ. S. Penguin. Lieutenant Somer-
vile expressed his belief in the exis-
tence of rare type of animal in the
dense jungles which cover the interior
of the Solomon Islands This animal,
which is regarded with superstitiOus
fear by the natives, would seem to re-
semble an anthropoid ape. Should this
prove to be the case, another eXplana,
ton of the peculiar prognathous char.
acter Of the carved figures produced bN
the Solomon Islanders would be pro-
vided
Lieutenant Somerville is convinced
that this animal is not the mere prod
uct of travellers tale, but that it real
ly exists. In support of this contention
he quotes five Independent native ac-
counts, and was also able to adduce the
testimony Of Lieutenant Weigall,
brother officer, who himself caught n
glimpse of an unknown hairy animal
on branch at the edge of the jungle,
but was unable to approach it before it
took fright. Owing to the constant
rains, the jungle in the Solomon Islands
is exceptionally dense, and there are
hardly any tracks in the interior. These
conditions would distinctly favor the
survival of an animal of the supposed
kind if it once reached the island.
