THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Concluded from first pagcl
agriculture the message says that
the cabinet department has accom-
plished real value in upbuilding
foreign and domestic trade. 1t
has created in the public opinion
more Just appreciation of the
value of forests The message de
clares that this should be continued
and immense forest reserves main
tanned. The reclamation and set
tlement of the arid lands the presi-
dent says will enrich every portion
of our country just as the settle
ment of the Ohio and Mississi ppi
valleys brought prosperity to the
Atlantic states.
Our New Acquisitions.
Speaking of the new acquisi-
tions the president says our aim
must be to develop Hiwaii on ira
ditional American lines. We do
not wish a region of large estates
titled by cheap labor, but n healthy
American community owning
small farms. Porto Rico, says the
message, is thriving as never be-
fore and is being administered
officially and honestly, and in Cuba
progress has been made. There
are rich tropical islands inhabited
by varying tribes. We must help
them along the stony and difficult
path that leads to self government.
Already a greater measure of pros
perity and governmental honesty
has been attained in the Philip
pines than ever before in their
history.
The rlonroe Doctrine.
There is still trouble ahead in
the island, spirit of brigandage
is rampant and we must crush it
out. The Monroe doctrine should
be the cardinal feature in the for

In France, where so much of the
wealth of the whole country depends
on the vineyards, there is one enemy
which has hitherto been unconquer-
able. That is the hail. In half an
hour a severe hailstorm could pulver-
ize prospective fortune. In Italy,
also, the hail is menace to the vine

countries have been making some ex-

lighting these storms. Fighting is a

first process in the manufacture OF
stamps at the money mill is to count
the sheets of blank paper, which are
purchased by contract. This work Is
done by women, who, indeed, perform
most of the labor in the bureau Of en-
craving and printing, simply because
they have proved themselves more ca
pable than men for business of this
description. Each sheet is the proper
size and shape to make 400 printed
stamps, with a small margin. After
they have been counted the sheets are
moistened by laying wet rags between
them at intervals Of twenty, and the
following morning, when the rags are

beneath an ink roller. Each of them is
engraved with the faces of 400 stamps,
and after being linked by the roller goes
under a mechanical rubber, which re-
moves most of the ink. Then the plate
is cleansed of all the rest Of the ink
save what is in the craven lines by a
man who rubs it with a cloth and his
bare hands, and finally it goes under a
dry, cloth-covered roller, which, sheet

are accomplished four times inside of

ming of the stamps, which is one of
the most interesting steps in the whole
process. The gummed postage stamps
before they are ready for use must be
perforated, so as to be torn apart east
ly, and this process is performed by
machines with rows of small toothed
wheels of brass set parallel to each
other.

VINEYARDS PROTECTED
FROM HAILSTORMS BY
MEANS OF CANNON.

This bombarding has had a good trial
and 1t is said that the vineyards pro-
tected by the cannon were spared,
while those outside the lines were
destroyed by the hail. Several guns
have been invented for this rural war
fare, the most remarkable being the
powderless cannon of an Italian firm.
Acetylene gas mixed with air is used
as the explosive. OF course there is no
charge. 1t is said that the apparatus
can be placed anywhere and left safely
to itself even for years at a time. A
farmer can have, say fifty cannon sta
toned at different points of his estate.
These are connected by an electric
wire so that single operator can dis
charge the whole fifty guns either SIM
ultaneously or consecutively. This
takes about ten seconds, and then the
whole thing begins over again. The
generator permits the cannon to flrt
more than 1000 times without reload
ing, and that is supposed to be a sut
ficient supply to last six months The
gun is not for sale, but the inventors
intend to begin next year to insure
vine growers against hail.

Millions upon millions Of new, crisp
currency bills are being turned out by
the bureau Of engraving and printing
to replace the defaced and worn-out
greenbacks which are constantly COM
ing back into the treasury, to be
eventually ground and smashed up
into pulp. Huge printing presses are
constantly at work in the steel-protect-
ed rooms of the treasury department.
1t Is, in fact, safely estimated that by
the close of the present year these
presses will have turned out enough
greenbacks to furnish each of the 49,
100000 inhabitants Of this land with
about $40 each. This means that 1917
100000 of crisp, new bills OF various
denominations will be used. In the
matter of postage stamps the figures
are even more enormous, says the
Washington Times. 1t is estimated
that on an average every man, woman
and child In the United States will use
hfty-three postage stamps during the
year 1901, forty of them being of the
popular 2-cent denomination. The
total number consumed will be over
4,OO0,000,0O0 and nearly 100000, 900 of
these will be of the 1-cent variety.
One person out of every ten will send a
special-delivery letter in the course of
the present year. Cuba, in 1901, will
require about 100000 ordinary
stamps. with 100000 special deliver
ies.' all of which will be turned out at

ton. The Philippines will use up g.
100000 stamps, Porto Rico 1000, 900
aud Guam 100000. OF course, Guam,
Porto Rico and the Philippines have no
stamps of their own, properly speak
ing, but are supplied with the ordinary
United States postage stamps, altered
simply by the addition of word print
ed across the face of each one In I'M

collation., and the word Philippines

There is every evidence in history and
