Spain he had the responsibilities of

toward securing pure food legislation, and

It is amazing how rapidly the standard
lz1ng process is going on in this country.
Many people to-day remember when the
railroads went over to standard gauge,
and almost everybody remembers when
many years later they went over to stand
ard time. The standardizing of sizes, in
bolts and bars, in the threads of screws
In fire engine piping, so that engines as
sembled from different places may all
work together, and in countless, other
things. have gone on rapidly, till soon
there may be a standard size for a dough-
nut or cake of ice. Several years ago

GOLD STORAGE AND CORNERS.
New Methods of Preserving Consti-
tute Aid to Trusts.

The improved methods of preser-
wing foodstuffs devised by science
have been supplied to constitute an
unmixed gain for mankind, enabling
us to spread the good things of one
season over another and to correct the
shortage of one year or country by
the abundance of another. But cold
storage has, it appears, it's disadvan-
tages, since it enables the capitalist
to corner the supply of perishable
foodstuffs and exact a higher price,
says the Baltimore Sun. The market
need not be glutted with peaches or
eggs if the cold storage man can put
the extra supply away to wait for
scarcity and higher price. While the
cold storage thus increases the avail
able food supply and tends to prevent
waste, at the same time ste%1ying
prices and preventing violent fuctua-
tons, it also increases the control
over the market exercised by COM
bines. But there is a limit to the
power of the combine to affect prices,
as is seen in the case of wheat or
corn which are not SO perishable as
peaches and eggs. theoretically the
capitalist should be able to control the
worlds supply of wheat and be able
to sell at starvation prices, but in fact
he does not do so and cannot do so.
In the long run the prevention of loss
by cold storage may tend, by increas-
ing the general supply of given ar
ticle, to reduce its average price.

Scarcely had the Bancroft started

The rapid growth of the govern
ment's idea regarding the amount OF
control we should exercise over the
waters of the West Indies and the
surrounding territory may be inferred
from the increase in the program an

ORIGIN OF WOOD ENGRAVING.

Many Countries Contend for the Her.
or of the Invention.
Much controversy was at one time
excited about the country that could
claim to have originated wood engrav-
ing. A very simple process was
known to the Egyptians for the pro-
duction of stamps, and it has been as
serted that the Chinese printed from
blocks of peartree as early as the
tenth century. The Independent orig
nation of the art has been generally
credited to Germany among modern
nations. In the Cologne district a ST.
