Pig in Trees Branch

In many of the western and midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
foods within living memory. Happily
few lives We're lost, but hundreds of
folk-mostly poor-were washed out Of
hearth and nome. Farmers, small and
great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry,
and Immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester, in Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
loss he had suffered. AS he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals Of a per-
picked pig, which had got mixed up
in the boughs of a damson, tree. Prob
ably it had been borne into the
branches by the rising food. When
the waters went down it was left high,
and possibly dry, but terrified out of it's
wits. +c,<s #>& -. 9

Elecfricity ON Canals.


A canal boat offers a very slow If

up even the sleepy canal and the i'll

adopted for canals. The current is con-

on rails along the banks. On an Eng

Izaak Walton used to fish, this scheme

OUR INCREASING OIL TRADE.

American Petroleum Better Than Rus
sian-Winnins Out in Japan.
Petroleum oil, with shipments Of
more than S7O,00O,0OO worth in the year
ending July l, ranks after cereals, cot
ton, provisions, steel and iron as an
item of American export to foreign
countries. Of the $70,OOO,OOO worth Of
American petroleum shipped last year
exports amounting to $5,OOO,0OO were
sent to Japan, larger amount than
was shipped to any country except
England, Germany and Belgium. Rus
sla was our chief competitor, but
American petroleum is of better quail
lty than the Russian, 100 gallons Of
crude Russian oil averaging 38 gallons
OF refined oil, whereas 100 gallons of
American petroleum produce rs, nearly
twice as much, and the competition be-
tween the United States and Russia in
petroleum in the Japanese market has
SO far been favorable to American
Shippers. American petroleum brings
higher prices in Japan than does Rus
sian and according to a recent report Of
the American Consul at Reichenberg,
the price of Russian petroleum is de-
clining. With the growth of the for
eign market for petroleum, there is a
large increase, for new commercial
uses, of the expanding supply So, as
the output of American petroleum in
creases by the discovery Of new wells,
the demand for its use seems to in
crease correspondingly-New York
