Britain's Enormous Trade.

Despite it's numerous set-backs in trade
and commerce of late years. the United
Kingdom still holds premier position In
the world IS trade. The fact Is laid stress
upon by the London Financial News I'm
a recent article, in which IL says: "Only
those who have gone into the matter are
aware OF the magnitude of the trade of
these islands. Last year 1900) the value
Of the imports into the United Kingdom
was no less than E525. SOC, 900, while. the
exports OF British produce amounted TO
G29l 800 900. and the re-eXports of foreign
and colonial produce 10 E63, 100000. The
imports and exports together, therefore,
amount 10 the enormous total of fS5S,~
600, 600 In addition to our large import
and export trade, there Is an enormous
home trade. The exact proportions OF this
cannot be ascertained. but, taking the
population of the United Kingdom as
Al 100000 and calculating five persons TO "
family, the value of the home trade would
be G1. 200, 900 900. or a third more than that
OF our import and export trade combined.
Then there is our great oversea carrying
or shipping trade Taking OF vessels or
fifty tons and over British tonnage is ap-
proximately equal TO that OF all other ma
tions combined Its effective power is
even greater, for more than three-ffths
OF the steam tonnage OF the world belong
TO Great Britain. Thus not only do we
carry practically the whole of our own
commodities. but we carry for other coun-
tries a large proportion of their maritime
trade The freight earned by British
shin owners for conveying goods Is esti-
mated at about $50, ,000, 900 per annum.

A Prank at School.

The scholars of a school having a griev-
ance against a very unpopular master.
took their revenge I'm the following man.
ner:
AT o'clock I'm the morning. when the
boys were assembled. a gong was sound
ed, and the schoolmaSter in question used
to come running down the stairs. with his
hand sliding on the banister rail. Next
morning the schoolmaster came into the
schoolroom with his hands covered. with
tar and grease.
BOYS" said he. i'm great anger. 'if you
do not tell me who has had a hand in
this will thrash every one i'm the class!'
No answer.
Boys" said he. ''if any one OF you will
tell me who has had n hand In this | will
give him half a crown, and If he is not
the guilty party I will not punish him.
For some moments there was no re-
SponSe. At last one of the boys held up
his hand. There was consterna ton pic
tured upon the other scholars faces. oh.
the sneak III they had him alone. what
would they not do to him. The master
said:
Speak. boy; do not be afraid Of the
othersr
"If you please. sir" was the answer.
''if | tell YOU who has had hand i'm this
you will not punish me and you will give
me half a crown"
''Yes: that is the agreement"
"rhen. n YOU please, sir. | think you
have!" said the boy. pointing to the mas
ter's tarred fingers.-P In

Novel Gross Country Run.

At a meeting held recently at the home
of Mr.. w Stewart Diffenderffer. in
Green Spring Valley. plans were mapped
out for the most ambitions cross-country
run ever held i'm this state. and an un-
usual means was suggested for specta-
tors to witness the event
The holding OF the classic cross-coun-
try race of four miles for a prize Of
assured. The event is to be held in
Green Spring Valley about the middle Of
October, and IL is to be open TO all rec
ognized hunt clubs in the world This
makes most attractive prospect. and
the committee in charge OF arrangements
is now trying to induce the management
OF the Green Spring Valley branch of the
Northern Central railroad 10 run an OBJ
servation train for the use of specta-
tors
lt is the idea to have course OF four
miles parallel the railroad and TO have
the race take place at a time when the
tracks are clear of the regular passen-
ger and freight trains. A train of fiat
cars equipped with grand stands for
spectators could then run along the rails
at the speed maintained by the horses.
ard all the passengers on the train could
have an unparalleled chance TO observe
every feature of the race. This method
Is pursued 10 witness the Henley and
the YaIe-Harvard regattas. and IL is be-
leved to be perfectly feasible for a cross
country run OF the importance OF that
planned for next October.-Baltimor

Biggest Fire Company.

Nowhere in the world Is there bigger
fire company than that which Captain
Seth Bullock the new forest supervisor
of the Black Hills. $. d., has just organ
ized every member of which not only
gives his services without pay, but Is
also constantly on duty. This has come
about through the permission given by
the secretary of the interior at Washing
ton TO any one who so desires TO Craze
from 12l head OF cattle up 10 700. the full
limit on the forest reserve tfor four head
only no permission need be asked, and up
TO 120 head the grazier need only have
the proper range and give assurance that
he intends to comply with the law 10
get leave from the supervisory. In the
permits granted "A proviso has always
been inserted making IL compulsory on
every man raising cattle TO help In put
ting out the forest fires.
Up to the present this has been dead
letter Now, however. Forest Supervisor
Bullock has made IL reality and. ac-
cordingly. twenty brigades OF fire fighters
have been n-eareiiea-twef4ty-fip -fipe-eft these
are on the reserve, each one being in
charge of rangers, whose duty IL is 10 see
that the laws governing the reserve are
complied with When a fire breaks out
the cattle raisers are expected TO respond
Immediately. The first man at the fire
is to have fun charge OF the operations
until the ranger arrives. In case the
fire gets beyond control of one division
of cattlemen and ranger word is TO be
sent Immediately to an adjoining district
and all OF the people there are expected TO
come TO their rescue.
After the fire is out the ranger of that
particular district is required TO take the
names of all the cattlemen who did not
help and a list is sent to the general
office of the supervisor i'm Deadwood. Tn
less the persons who did not attend the
fire can give good reason for their alb
sence, their permits are to be taken away.
The cattle graziers all over the Hills are
taking interest in this original plan of
Captain Bullock, and. as a consequence,
several hundred men stand constantly on
guard TO put out forest fires. There are
fully 1000 head of cattle on the reserve
(no sheep are allowed. Exchange.

First Use of Steam Power.

The original idea Of the steam engine
is commonly said 10 have been suggested
by the Marquis Of Worcester, I'm his
Century OF Inventions. A. u. 1863. lie
calls the machine proposed "a way TO
drive up water by fire." and the first use
made of the power of steam was 20 pump
water out OF mines. The first successful
steam pump was erected by Captain
Savery i'm 1898. Watt, the great improver
OF the steam engine. made his principal
inventions from 1865 10 1775. The man
who first conceived the idea OF applying
steam TO navigation was Jonathan Hun,
in 1896. when he obtained a patent for
some machinery designed for the propul-
sion OF vessels. Fulton, I'm 1907. construc-
cd and navigated the first. successful
steamboat. To the steam engine, as we
now see II. thousand ingenious minds
have probably contributed In fact, it is
the concentrated and magnificent result
of the ingenuity OF all past ages.-EX.

BROWN TRACK TEAM.

A good number OF men were present at
the track team meeting i'm the Gymna-
sium office AT the beginning Capt. Green
announced that the squad had been called
together TO consider the inter class meet
and that the men might enter their names
for the different events He said that
this year there would be n regular printed
program: the events would be run or
faster and more smoothly. and that IL
would partake more of the character OF
An intercollegiate meet. Since DIR. Park
er was coaching the team without any
idea OF pecuniary compensation, the men
should do all they can TO help him.
DR. Parker then gave the boys long
talk. He reviewed Brown track athletics
and showed them the marked improve
ment of late. both on the part OF the
team and the increased amount of inter-
est shown by the student body. He hoped
none of the men would become discour-
aged. He spoke of Browns chances at
the Dartmouth and Worcester meets, con-
cluding by announcing that a man who
cares very much for track athletics had
promised 10 give a beautiful silk banner

Highest Railway in Europe.

The highest railway in Europe Is now
being built to the summit OF the jung
frau, one OF the highest of the Swiss
mountains, 1850 feet above sea level.
The starting point of the line is the
Scheidegg station (6lS0 feet of the Wen
germ Alp Railway, a rack-and-pinion
railway driven by steam locomotives. The
track willrun through a tunnel winding
round the solid body OF the Eiger Noun
tain as far as Eiger station, about 10,5S7
feet above the sea level, which Is To be
laid open by galleries. IL will continue in
a straight line for some distance, falling
then in the direction of the Jungfraujoch,
keeping 2S0 feet below the surface of the
ridge, and finally curving round the up
permost solid block of the mountain.
reaching its end point on a plateau IL, 300
feet above sea level. This platform lies
about So feet below the snow-covered sum-
NIT OF the mountain.
IL is expected that the first station, at
Eigerwand. 9400 feet above sea level, will
be opened In December. The next station
will beat Eismer, -at-aH altitude of 10
$40 feet: this will be the highest railway
station i'm Europe. The last portion of the
line 10 the summit will consist OF a ver-
teal shaft fitted with An American ele-
vator This elevator will consist of two
consecutive iron cylinders placed tele-
scope fashion one within the other. The
inner cylinder will contain the elevator.
and between the inner and outer cylinders
spiral staircase will be fitted so that
those who wish can make the journey
from the terminus OF the line TO the top
OF the moutnain OF foot. From JuEg-
fraujoch station IL will be possible to go
out to the Jungfraufirn and sledge over
the perpetual snow field 10 the Aletsci
Glacier.
The total length OF the line will be a
little over seven miles. Electricity will
supply the motive power. water power
being utilized to generate the current. A
physician will be in attendance at a GER

Our West Indian Trade.

The growing disposition OF tho Islands
and countries adjacent TO the unlteu
states, and especially those of the West
Indian group, to trade with the United
States is illustrated by some figures just
received by the treasury bureau OF staus-
tics regarding the commerce or Jamaica;
These are contained in British coloniat
report on Jamaica for 1S99-1960. They
show that OF the exports or Jamaica %
per cent were sent to the United states
In 1896 while in 1900 the share sent to the
United States was s3.6 per cent TO the
United Kingdom the share In 1ss6 WAS
276 per cent and I'm 1900 1872 per cent The
report SAYS: "The value OF the exports
from Jamaica which 60 to the Unlteo
States continues TO increase IN total Ntttets
and I'm proportion to the whole amount or
the trade The exports TO the Cnited
Kingdom diminish steadily. This ten
deucy Is largely due to the development
of the fruit trade, which has been al.
most exclusively with the United states.
The increase i'm exports to the United
states has been accompanied by an IN
crease I'm the percentage OF Jamaican I'M
