A calculating barber in Philadelphia
says: 81 see that your shoestrings are
tied in bowknots. Did you ever stop
to think how much of the string is re-
CURED to make those useless loops?
Probably three inches of each end. Tie
laces in ordinary knots and you could
cut from the pair four pieces, each
three inches long. There are 100000
people in this city, and 100000 in
the United States who wear laced
shoes. If each of these bought three
pairs of laces year, that would mean
90, 100000 pair, from which could be
shipped $50, OO0, 600 ends. These pieces,
placed end to end, would make con-
tinuous shoestring 17,045 miles long
long enoughto stretch two-thirds of the
way around the earth. Suppose that
the shoestrings cost at retail an aver
age of three cents pair; then the co.
100000 pairs used annually in the Unit
ed States cost $2,70O,0OO. One-fifth of
their length could be done away with
by cutting off the useless ends, and the
value of these ends is therefore one

sum would buy upwards Of 10,000,000

possession practically places Russia in a
position to defy the world.
The struggle for supremacy in the far
East seems to have begun in earnest.
Since the kaiser made his bold grab for
foothold at Kiao-Chou all Europe has
awakened suddenly to the consciousness
that no time is to be lost. Heretofore
the puwers have been comparatively tinlid
in their cncroachments, postponing the
day OF final reckoning and trusting to the
march Of events to fix the moment when
the inevitable foray upon the orient must
be nus de. The aggressions Of Japan and
Russia quickened the process. Wilhelm s
action has given it another powerful inn
petus. Apparently every diplomat in Eu-
rope as now been seized with the appre-
hensiGn that unless something is done i'm
media .ely the chances for securing strong
positions in the far East will all have
heen swept off the international bargain
counter.
If the reports from Chemulpo are accu-
rate Great Britain has now found it nee
essary to say word in it's own behalf,
and, while attention has been concentrated
on the Chinese coast, has played trump
card 1T Corea. Its pretext for entering
the field at this point is plausible. Since
the war between Japan and China, Corea
has been more or less amenable to the in
hueners of all the interested European
nowers. China having lost it's nominal
suzera,inty, Japan was forced by Russia
to desist from spoliation on its own ac-
count, and the Russian influence has been
predominant. The British consul finally
