4 World Industry.

An interesting report on this subject
was read by Governmental Privy COUn-
cilor Professor DR.. Paasche. member Of
the Reiehstag. who has recently studied
conditions in Cuoa. DR.. Paasche took the
ground that the German sugar industry is
a world industry in the stricteSt sense Of
the term. and that its welfare is there
fore dependent upon the maintenance Of
the position which II now holds in the
worlds markets. All measures adopted
for the purpose OF influencing the home
market no matter how important they
may be. will not. therefore alone suffice
to keep the industry in a healthy cOndi
tion. German sugar producers must con-
tinue to keep tSeir eyes fixed on all COM
peting lands. DR. Paasche's visit 70 the
United States and Cuba was solely for the
purpose of ascertaining il dangers threaten
the Germany sugar industry there. The
following is a summary OF his remarks:
" Formerly Cuba was the foremost su-
gar-producing land Of the world and con-
troIled the worlds markets Before the
recent war it produced annually over l.
0O0. 900 tons. This amount was reduced %
per cent by the war. and the shortage was
promptly filed by lands other than Ger
many. Russia, Austria, Java, etc, have
largely increased their production. II
Cuba regains its former prOductiveness. or,
still worse II il doubles its production, as
some fear. the magnitude of the disaster
which will result to the worlds markets
can not be overestimAted. Fortunately.
however. there is no immediate danger.
The predictions concerning the moderate
amount OF this years crop have been real
lied. Furthermore, there is little cause
for fear in the near future.
The results OF the war in Cuba are

borers are scarce, because many thousands

new life to the industry enormous capital

time. il must be admitted that hardly any
where else IN the tropics are the condi-
tions naturally so favoratls for the sugar
industry as in Cuba

well equipped with labor-saving machinery.
Good. but not too cheap, raw materials are
available. and the manufacturing process
in use is effective and inexpensive. But,
as has been said above. capital and enter
prising spirit are needed. Even the Amer
leans are afraid TO invest money in this at
present unsafe business, and therefore the
manufacturers are obliged to pay a very
high rate OF interest on their debts Most

MANY PLAQUES IN AFRICA.
Both Man and Boast Are Made nIiser-
 able by Natures Pests.

From Ainslee's Magazine: South Af- rica exports hides, wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revel in riches were It not for the various pests that deciplate his foeks and herds
 The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving a wake of whitened bones Tn travelling through Natal I saw fifty oxen lying dead about a spring. so suddenly had the disease attacked them. It was al- most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and a plethoric German trave.> er who called out in loud tone for
 roast rinderpest" in the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had to be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from 1t slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect resembling our common house fly, but three times as large. It's bite will kill a horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange to say, does not affect wild animal or human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of aD inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length
 This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night
 and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the
 soles. Lucky you didn', leave your clothes on the floor" was the hotel keepers only consolation These ants will eat through anything but metal
 and for that reason much of the build ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthill is one of the conspicuous land marks In travelling over South Africa.

When Patti Hin ea.

The following lines were written Gin French) by Adelina Patti in response to request that she would describe briefly her feelings while singing: "1 have never been able to take proper account of my feelings during those Jew moments. I know that on the day of the performance am nervous end agitated, and as the time draws nearer and nearer I suffer more and plore from stage fright. When the mo- ment arrives for me to leave my room and go before the footlights, my whole being is dominated by sensation of abject terror. My feelings while I am actually singing defy analysis; they differ according to the role, the num- ber of artists around me. etc.-they are so varied that simply can not de- scribe them. I should be obliged to enter into all the many details which. petty as they may be, at times impress us very ttrongly.

History ol Every Nation Mentions Wigs
 .'ery Early.
 The first wig mentioned in history was made out of a goats skin and was worn by the daughter of Saul, king of Israel. The first artistic wigs were made in the south of Italy for Sae Gapiniens, who lived In Apulia, and were known for the luxuries of their toilet These people were, they say, che first who painted their faces; this they did with the juice of strawberries. Xenophon relates that little Cyrus. when he visited Astyages, his grand father, whose eyes were framed in blue paint and who wore an enormous wig, threw himself on his knees and cried. 70, mother. what 8 beautiful grandfather I have!" The Phoenician women, who were proud of their hair. having been ordered by their priests to offer it up on the altars dedicated to Venus after the death of Adonls, obeyed but with murmuring. Soon they were consoled by Greek merchant who told them that he would give them the means of hiding their bald pates under luxuriant curls. In his chariot he had hundreds of wigs of all cofors. Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward the end of the republic, and so we'll made that, says Ovid, No man could know if his wife had any hair at all before she had given him an oppor- tunity of seizing her by the tresses." Teutonic peasants were the providers of blond hair for rich Roman prin cesses, who loved the contrast of it's fiaxen hue with their black eyes. They even had morning wigs, small and tightly curled, of any color, and kept the beautiful fair ones to receive their admirers at night. Messalina had 150 wigs to disguise herself-Exchange

 States Among the Nations


 States Among the Nations
 There were 62, 622. .250 inhabitants in the United States ten years ago, ac- sording to the last census. Secretary Cages actuary of the treasury, who is close guesser in matters of popula tion, computes the present population between Maine and California, Alaska, and Key West, at 76.14S,000. To this must te added the peoples brought un- der the stars and stripes by the war with Spain and by the annexation oi Hawaii, to say nothing of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Guam. If the Fflipinos can De induced tc stand still long enough to- be counted they may possibly yield million or two more, but unless the actuary has made mistake in addi- tion there will yet remain wide gap between the actual and the magnificent round number. For a decade or two longer, therefore, the United States must be content to remain in the fourth place in point of population among the nations of the earth. China despite the encroachments upon her territory, still holds the lead, with 402,68O,000 men, women, and chil- dren within her borders; the British rmpire comes next. with 3S1, ,037, ,S74 subjects, including the dusky fanatics of the Soudan; and the Russian em- pire is third, 129,211, ,113 persons owing allegiance to the czar. No other na- ton, however, can show such a rapid increase as that of the United States Geol ge Washington was president of nation numbering fewer than 3,000,- 900 individuals It took 20 years for .he population to double. In 1910 it was 7,239,881, in 1920 it had reached only 9,633,S22, and 10 years later the total 12,866, ,02O. From this time on 1t advanced by leaps and bounds.

FILIPINOS PACIFIED
EXCEPT ROBBER BANDS

New York, Oct. 15.-Lieutenunt Ed
ward ii. Flaherty, who has recently
been honorably discharged from the
army, after recovering from illness con-
tractcd with the Twenty-seventh infan-
try in the Philippines, believes the
island of LuZon has been thoroughly
pacified.
"There are no Fflipinos fighting
against the United States now" said he
last night save struggling bands of
robbers, or Ladrones. They are still
thick in several provinces, and were
noticeably thick in the province of Mo-
rong until the Twenty-seyenth infantry
drove them out in a campaign ending
with the battle of Tamay, last January
"All the Filipinos except the Tagalos
are in favor of American supremacy.
Some Of the Filipinos have actually
turned their arms against the Ladrones
and killed some of them. 1t Is feasible
to suplant large number of our SOL
diers with natives enlisted in the Am
erican service, and it ought to be done,
to spare our men. The LadrOnes obey
to a large extent the orders of Aguinal-
do though bands are so widely spread"
Lieutenant Flaherty said Private
Glason of the First Nebraska was the
first American to fire on the Filipinos.
"He diu not fire until he had been fired
upon" added the lieutenant, land then
he killed Filipino lieutenant and ser
geant with one shot out of a Springfield
rifle. The Filipinos began hostilities."

THE COAL STRIKE
NOT YET SETTLED

Philadelphia, Oct. 16.-1t Is expected
that the officials of the Reading COM
pany will to-day take up for consider
alton the proposition Of the Mine Work
ers' convention. 1t is known that some
of the directors of the company are
opposed to the abolition of the sliding
scale. which has for years been in oper-
alton at the Reading collieries
One Of the directors Of the Reading
said to-day that he is opposed to a new
wage scale. and intimated that he
would make an effort to defeat such a
proposition. He asserted that the slid
ing scale had for years proven satisfac-
tory, both to the company and en-
ployes, as was evidenced by the fact
that until the convention at Scranton
demanded a change no protest had
come from the company miners.
Shamokin. Pa, Oct. 16.-Not col
liery resumed operation in this portion
of the coal region Yesterday. While
miners generally think the terms of the

are concerned they will not. unless

Port Townsend, Oct. 16.-The en-

the steamer Corwin has returned and
reports the discovery of an immense
field of coal near Cape Sabine on the
Arctic coast of Alaska. The expedi-
tion was headed by Captains West
and Coffin, two experienced whalers.
and they located about seven miles of
coal lands. These coal deposits skirt
the coast and coal is said to be so
plentiful that it can be seen in great
veins in the face of the cliffs and is
found in great Jumps on the beach
where the water has cast it. This
coal deposit is only 300 miles from
Nome and it's discovery will practi-
cally settle the question of the fuel

Commenting upon the activity of the

"There are certain indications point
ing to the conclusion that unexpected
difficulties have arisen which Lord
Roberts deems grave enough to de-
mand his presence for some time to
come. All the facts suggest that it is
impossible yet to denude South Africa
