New Pacific Cable Measure Intro.
duced by Senator Foster of
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Cul.
lom was at the White House during the
day and had a conference with the pres.
ident, in regard TO the status Of legisla-
ton before congress affecting the Ha.
waiian islands. The president has had
under consideration the expediency of
asking congress to pass some Temporary
legislation which would enable the local
government to provide for natives whose
houses had been burned to stop the
spread of the bubonic plague, and to
succo those in distress. Senator Cul-
lom, however, expressed the belief that
congress would very Don pass a bill pro-
v1dlng for a permanent government for
the islands. and that this measure would
be ample to meet the existing condi-
tons. The president therefore will
await the action Of congress Oh the
pending bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia bill was in
troduced by Senator Foster of Wash

rRRNS OP

Bradstreet's Of the 10Th inst, has
some Suggestions OF interest IN q com
merclal way that are worth noting. 1t
calls attention 20 the fact hat this is a
two billion dollar country. In 1899 tie
total foreign commerce OF this nation
exceeded two billion dollars by three
millions. The figures OF the treasury
department compiled 10 January, also
revealed the fact thai our money circu-
lstlon had reached two billion dollars.
gold and gold certificates alone having
passed the eight hundred million dollar
line. This total circulation is estimated
by the department to give q per capita
circulation in the United States Of go 90.
La 1896 IT was s224.. The total none
circulation now ls almost u third greater
taan at the beginning Of the fiscal year
Ia 1897, having ased III that time
nearly half u billion dollars. The old
popul s. contention that more money
makes higher prices. is al=o borne out
by these figures. According to Brad
streets own index numbers, the general
level OF prices in these years since the
lst OF July, 1897, has risen 2O115 per cent.
Had the price for farm products, es-
peclally grain and breadstuffs made
therefrom, kept pace with the rise 10
price of other things, this general aver
& in the rise Of prices would have
been much greater. Commenting on
the wheat supply this same number OF
Bradstreet's says:
Weather and crop conditions have

the wheat market Of late, and have been
largely instrumental in bringing about
the recAn, small! advance. Reports Of
unsatisfactory French crop conditions.
OK deiuctioLs rom earlier expectations

p%ective, and some uncertainty as to the
possible effect Of winter weather upon
our own winter-sown area have been ef-
fectlve IN stimulating the interest uf
foreign consumers In the cereal. Add
tionally Strengthening features have
been reports Of the outbreak OF the
plague IN Argentina, with the possibility
OF interruption to shipments from South
America. and claims that the high price
OF wool in Australia would initiate
against any expansion in the wheat yield
OF that country. The total stock of
wheat in and ahoat for Europe GU Feb.
ruary |, as reported by cable was Co.
100000 bushels. This compares with a
total OF Gl, 100000 bushels on February
l a year ago. With the single exception
noted, however, the European stock is
the smallest held on that date for seven
years past, the discrepancy ranging from
about 100000 bushels decrease as com.
pared with February /, 1896, to 39,OOO,-
600 bushels decrease as compared with
1871. American stocks, on the other
hand, while decreasing slowly during
January, are still heavily in excess OF
those held on the same date in the past
three years Combined European and
American supplies, it will be seen. are
100000 bushels larger than a year

Magnetic Clay.

Most kinds of clay contain a consid.
cradle proportion of iron. The red col.
or of bricks FOR example, Is due TO the
presence Of oxides of iron. Whenever
an object nodded of clay is baked at
the temperature OF the potter's furnace
IN the presence of magnetic field or
influence. the otherwise homogeneous
clay shows when cooled traces of mag
netism in a definite direction. This in
hcTent magnetism Is sufficient to show
the direction and give an idea as to the
Intensity of the magnet!Zing force that
acted While the clay was In the fur
mace.
This peculiar property has been used
to solve some questions OF great inter.
est to scientific people In general. An
accurate knowledge OF the direction Of
the carth'S magnetic force in early his.
torical times has been deduced by sew.
eral Italian physicists from study of
the traces of magnetism shown by Etru.
rian vases and other objects of clay
eXhumed from old tombs. The con.
clusion reached Is that the direction of
the earth's magnetic field has varied
very greatly in the 5000 or 6,000 years
represented by the age of the objects
examined.
