In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- siye as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

Syrian silk producers are advocat
ing the direct shipment to the United
States of the raw silk raised in Syria
which now reaches us by way O
France. It is hello that four-ffths Of
the 900, 900 pounds of silk annually
produced in Syria, which is now
shipped to France to be refnished
and re-exported to the United States,
could, with the establishment of di.
rect communication between America
and Syria, be sent here direct, to the
benefit both of the. grower and of the
manufacturer. That there is force in
this view none can deny, says the Dry
Goods Economist, and since one large
house in New York is said to have
placed in Beirut an order for samples
of Syrian raw silk, the elimination of
the French middleman in this p%articu-
lar case seems not distant.

After two years of Investigation

that the investigation narrowed it.
self down to q recommendation either
of the sand system or a mechanical
system. An examination of the rela-
tive efficiency of the two methods in
the light Of experience showed that,
so far as the removal Of bacteria from
the water is concerned, the sand filter
leaves but little to be desired. In ad-
dition to bacterial efficiency is the
question Of the adaptibility Of the
emuent for steaming purposes. The
efauent which yields a minimum scale
formation and shows no corrosive
action upon the points in the boiler
generally first exposed to the attack,
is, all other things being equal, to be

Raising Frogs Artificially.

The unrestricted hunting of frogs
has caused a rapid diminution in their
numbers, and consequently frog
farms, for their artificial propagation
and raising, are coming into vogue.
The largest of these are located in
Ontario, in the Trent River basin. It
has been in operation about twenty
years, and annually yield compare
lively large output Of frogs. The
waters were stocked by means of ma
ture mated frogs. No attempt is made
to confne the frogs until the time of
shipment approaches, when they are
taken alive at night. with the aid of a
torchlight and confined in small pens.
These are drained and the frogs zap
tured when they desired for market.
No food is given, as this is naturally
present in sufficient amount for sue
cessful growth. The species is the
Eastern bull-frog, which reaches ma
turity in three years, and reaches a
marketable size in four years. Dur.
ing the last three years this farm
yielded annually 5000 pounds of
dressed frog legs and 1000 living
frogs for scientific purposes and for
stocking other waters.

Mr.. Theodore @. Search, of Phila-
'delphia, the President of the National
Association Of Manufacturers, advanced
some impressive figures in the course
of the formal address which he de-
livered before the annual convention
OF that body in Philadelphia several
days ago. Going back seventy-fve
years in the commercial and industrial
progress of the United States he showed
that the exports of manufactures in
1921 aggregated only IS, 623, or, or
2.8S per cent. Of the total exports
which in that year aggregated $43,,

that year aggregated 81, 210, 292, O97.

progress which this country has made

At its recent special session the
Legislature of Kansas passed a bill
that is a decided novelty in railroad
legislation. The bill, in brief, pro.
vided for the establishment, not of an
ordinary commission, such as exists
IN most of the States, but of a regular
court vested with exclusive original
jurisdiction over causes of contro-
versy between the railroads and the
public. To it would be extended the
authority belonging to courts of COM
mon law and equity, under which it
could obtain evidence and compel
obedience to its decisions. The first
Judges would be appointed and their
successors elected; hence, the public
would have a personal interest in the
court, and have no occasion to charge
the selection of incompetent or ire
sponsible Judges.

cost Of coal at the wharf of a retail

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN HEROES

A correspondent of the New York
 Sun last week contrasting the English
 habit of immortalizing deeds Of indi- vidual valor with the American one of
 glorifying the average man," main
 tains that our military history has shown many examples Of herCism far
 more lustrous than the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava, which was
 pure blunder, or than any of "tae little tupenny-ha'penny, one-horse af- fairs that England has been engaged
 in with the weak tribes Of the earth during the last forty years which are described as merely skirm.shes, such as the Mad Mul1ah" and the Afridi business This writer mentions sew eral actions in our civil war in which the percentage Of lcssCs by regiments far exec eeded that of the Light Br. gale, which was 36 per cent. He says:
 ''At the battle Of Manassas in cur civil war the Fifth New York v0lun- teers lost 60 per cent, in killed and wounded, while the Ore Hundred and First New York lost 7S per cent. At NIeIJYSDuTS InS F1ISt u1ALA-oOOC D. ment lost S2 per cent in killed and wounded. The grc-ltest loss ever known in any tattle."
 This correspondent is just in his complaints of the neglect by our people of our heroes as a class. And this is true notwithstanding the excessive laudaticn which we sometimcs lavish on a unique specimen like Hobson, in which case enough praise $ poured up- on one head to turn that head and to decorate a thousand beside When Commodore Schley said of the sink ng of Cervera's fleet, "there is enough glory to go around" his words con- tained a rebuke to those who wCu.d double star commanding figures in great achievements at arms, and ig- nore these whose individual heroism was, perhaps. superior to that Of any who trod the quarterback or were on a generals staff.
