istration in supressing the insurrection

naldo.
We regard trade with the Orient as
one of the great sources of our national
wealth in the future, and an open door
in China is an important aid to the
growth of our trade in the Orient.
We point with pride to the legisla-
tion adopted by the last legislature.

LIVESTOCK IN CITIES
A Special. Enumeration of Domestic
Animals Not Found on Farms
or Ranges.

In the coming census special emu
meration will be made OF the number
and value OF livestock not found on
farms and ranges. The preparation
in the census Office of this supplement-
ary schedule, calls to mind the enorm-
Gus Importance of the livestock inter
ests OF the country.
Statistics OF livestock heretofore have
been very incomplete. because no
enumeration is made in cities and vii
lagos. We obtain reliable estimates OF
the stock on farms and ranges, bnt the
horses and other animals in street-car,
express, livery and other CITY stables
go uncounted. This defect has made
trustworthy calculations about the
sources of future supply and the prob
able increase Of cattle and sheep, Who'll
ly impossible.
The agricultural department makes
estimates OF the live stock OF the coun-
Try, but these are also confined to stock
Oh the farms and ranges. Moreover
their count is made at a time OF the
,ysar-yJAnuary-at which there are but
5ew young animals on hand. The CEN
sus enumeration will refer to June i,
and in consequence will include most
of the young born in 1900. The ami
mails will be classified by ages, and the
result OF the June enumeration will be
as representative picture of the stock
OF the country as can be secured.

Index waking Up.

Considerable activity is manifest in

plies are coming in daily for the various
mining properties; new developments

were closed on account OF the approach
of winter last year are starting up
again, or preparing to start. Many a
cabin, throughout the various camps,
that has presented deserted and lone
some appearance for four months past
now exhibits signs of life; smoke is
issuing from the pipe in the roof; dog
sits at one entrance; some one is chop
ping wood nearby or repairing or en-
larging the log structure. A new tent
shows on some hitherto untenanted hill.
side, while curl Of blue smoke aris-
ing from the vicinity betrays the pres

light can be distinguished again in the
hills on either hand as one travels over
the Skykomish valley trail by night;
the tide OF travel is increasing, while
pack animals are again in demand; in
fact, everything tells of the return OF
spring in this growing copper camp.

Under the name of "magnalium," DR..
L. Mach has produced alloys Of alum
mum and magnesium which, while
considerably lighter than pure alum
inum, are harder than that metal and
better suited, it is asserted, for work
ing. With 15 per cent. of magnesium,
the alloy is said to resemble brass in
the readiness with which it submits to
the operations of turning, boring and
cutting. By increasing the magnesium
to 25 per cent, an alloy resembling
bronze is produced, but the color is sill
very white.
The manner in which the United
States cruiser Atlanta has been recon

sons concerning the danger that turks
in woodwork on warships, which were
taught by the battles of Manila and
Santiago, have been needed. In place

Atlanta, corrugated metal is now seen.
The wooden panels Of the ceilings and
walls have given place to asbestos and

The American Museum of Natural
History has recently acquired very
complete skeleton Of a mosasaur from
Kansas, the study Of which has led DR..
II. f. Osborn to the conclusion that
these gigantic animals are very
ancient marine offshoot of the order of
the lacertilia or lizards, and that they
constitute distinct subdivision of that
order. This particular specimen is
called the ram-nosed tylosur, and a
careful restoration, showing its prob
able appearance in life, has been made
by Charles knight. 1t was very pow
erful swimmer when 1t dwelt in the
ancient sea that covered Kansas. 1t
was about 20 feet long.
The revelations at Professor Mines
observatory on the Isle of Wight of the
manner in which earthquakes send
their impulses thousands of miles
through the frame of the globe are
source of ceaseless wonder. In Sep
tember last Professor Mines instru-
ments detected remarkable tremblings
of the earth on the Sd, 10th, 18th, Goth,
and 2Sd. Since then he has traced the
origin of the shakings on the first three
days named to Alaska, on the Goth to
Asia Minor and on the 23d to Japan!
But every earthquake does not thus
set the globe in tremble. for tho
shocks at Darjeeling, in India, on Sep
tember % and &c were not felt at the
Isle of Wight, the reason being, Prefes-
sor Milne thinks, because those ihocks
were due to local landslips.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS.
Appearance of Irregularlty in the Gem
eral Situation.


Bradstreets' says: Backward spring
weather conditions have figured con-
siderably in disrtibutive trade reports
this week, and in connection with
some weakness in prices OF leading
stocks have impaired an appearance OF
irregularity to the general situation.
Another of those downward swings
in the prices Of agricultural staples is
exhibited this week in slightly lowered
prices for the cereals, partly because
OF the bearish sentiment Of immediate
supplies and partly because OF the bet
ter than expected government crop re-
port, which is taken to indicate pos
sible winter.wheat yield in excess OF
all records.
Corn and oats have sympathized with
the reaction in pork products, which
reaction, however, has not been uni
versal, as shown by the fact that lard
is at the highest point reached on the
present boom.
Evidences accumulate that active
missionary work in favor OF lower
prices for iron and steel is at last bear
ing fruit.
The strength OF raw sugar is rehec-
tion chiefly Of the fact that a consider
able shortage is looked for in the sup
plies of cane sugar, not only in Cuba,
but in the far East.
A slight upward swing in cotton is
to be noted this week, and Southern
mills have advanced prices. On the
other hand, while the mills are active
on old orders, new business is reported
OF smaller volume.
Wheat, inluding flour, shipments ioT
the week aggregate 2,896, 653 bushels,
against 3, ,836, 936 bushels last week.
Business failures for the week num-
ber 152, as compared with 1872 in the
United States last week.
