England's Ovation to Boer Generals.

same English people that only two
years ago had no word too bitter and
contemptuous for the defenders of the

warmth of the Boer leaders reception

than the mere good nature which vic.

only the JOY of success were involved.

to costermonger, and the spontaneous
tribute of admiration to these brave
foes does much to condone- the. former
bitterness.
1t is said that King Edward upon re-

though, whatever may have been the

doubts as. to the temper of their peo-

foe whose worth they have dearly

generosity Of their conqucrors. Alto

WHEAT IN STORAGE.

That Cause Them.
Farm products stored after harvest
are usually subject to variation in
weight, which generally manifests it.
self in a loss or shrinkage. The ques-
ton of shrinkage is always impor-
tant to the farmer because it has a
direct bearing upon the marketing of
Storing farm products, however, Goes
not always entail decrease in weight,
but on the contrary, sometimes results
in marked increase.
AS early as 1879 Dr.. Kcdzie of Michi-
gan showed that wheat Wien allowed
to become overripe, or dead ripe, as it
is generally called. weighs slightly less
than when harvested at the period Of
complete ripeIess. 1t was also found
that the amount ard quality Of the
-four as we'll as the terminating power
of the grain are reduced when the
crop is allowed to stand after complete
ripeness has been reached. The great
est loss, however, due to overripeness
is caused by the Smelling of the grain.
Certain varieties of wheat have a less
er tendency to shell than others, and
by giving these the preference and har>
vesting at the proper stage of maturity
loss from this source can be reduced
to minimum.
Observation of wheat during storage
In Michigan elevator led to the con-
clusion that the variation of weight
of we'll cured wheat in Michigan does
not amount to more than 5 per cent.
At the New York station it has been
found that air dry grain Of oats, barley
and wheat placed in an absolutely dry
atmosphere for eighteen!' days lost i'll
weight 9.3, rs and 6.2 per cent, re-
spectively. The loss at first was very
rapid, but it became slower and slower
toward the end Of the test.
On the other hand, q number of ex.
periments are on record which show
the moisture absorbing capacity OF
wheat and other grains. Results oh.
tanned experimentally by Hilgard led
him to the belief that wheat cured III

served that in the dry climate of that

An argument both for and against
the practice of smoking may be ad.
duced from the story of the Mount
vernon burglar who was going through
a house the other night and found a
box OF good cigars. Though a very
unprofessional proceeding. he could
not resist the temptation to stop and
smoke one. The odor of the burning
tobacco awoke the man of the house,
who scared the burglar away and thus
saved himself from being robbed. Now.
II the burglar had not been addicted
TO the habit of smoking he would prob
ably have been successful in his en-.
terprise instead of being obliged to
hastily retire before having accom-
plished his purpose. On the other
hand, had the man Of the house not
been a smoker he would probably not
have had box Of cigars on the prem.
tses, would have slept soundlys through
the burglarizing operation and presum.
ably lost his watch. money and the
family plate. The reader is at liberty
to apply either Of the two morals of
this incident as may suit his fancy.

Our Trade With the Tropics.

The treasury bureau OF statistics at
Washington has lately published a re-
view Of our foreign commerce for the
last fiscal year which contains many
interesting features.
One Of these relates to our rapidly
growing trade with tropical and SUBJ
tropical countries. Few people realize
how largely our imports come from
these countries or how much the guam
tity has increased with the growth of
our general trade. OF total importa-
ton Of $435, 95S. 4OS in 1870 $157.329.-
1872 came from that belt Of the globe.
In 1902 the value had risen to $780,
63,G49, the total from all quarters be-
ing $9O3, 327, OF. While our trade from
the American continent to the south of
% Is far from what it ought to be and
would be with proper facilities, the i'm
ports have advanced during this period
from SIG, S91 ,164 to 1921 .954, OO7. From
Asia the growth has been from $780,
219,079 to 129.621 $40, and only a be-
ginning has been made. The increase
from Africa has been from less than
$2,OOO,0OO to nearly $13,5OO,OOO and
from Oceania from $S,296, 400 to $14.-
$685..
There has been a gradual lowering
of the price of some of the leading
articles, so that value has not kept
pace with quantity. In the case of
cane sugar there has been an actual
decrease in value while the quantity
has more than doubled in spite Of the
fact that we produce considerable sug-
ar ourselves and import more or less
beet sugar from Europe. While the in.
crease has been notable in such articles
as coffee. in round numbers from $24
100000 to $SO,OOO,OOO: fruits and nuts.
$7.5OO.OOO to $21. 500, 900; cocoa. spices,
ETC., it is still more conspicuous in.those
things that are used as materials in
our manufacturing industries. For in
stance, raw silk has advanced from
about 100000 to over S42.5OO.OOO.
rubber and gutta percha from $780,.
600 to $25.O0O.0OO, fibers from $1.375..
600 to SOS, 437 900. feathers from next
to nothing to over $5,OOO,OOO, and so
on.

Ca1ada's Now Waterway.

Ca1ada'S New Waterway.
Canada has again revived the old
project for the construction of a deep
waterway from Lake Huron to the
seaboard, though by different route
from the much talked of Georgian bay
canal. The new plan of the Dominion
government us outlined by Mr.. Tarte.
the Canadian commissioner of public
works, is to improve the French river
to Lake Nipissing and secure a deep
water channel to Montreal by improve
ment of the Ottawa river. He says
that $5,OOO,0OO has already been pro-
vided for the improvement of the
French river and that a deep water
channel by the way Of French river.
Lake Nipissing and the. Ottawa river
will call for an expenditure Of $50, O0O.-
600.
The old scheme for a Georgian bay
canal, which has been agftated off and
on for more than thirty years. was .
short cut to Lake Simcoe and from
there to Lake Ontario. This route, 1t
was claimed, would save 800 miles
from any port on Lake Superior. Lake
Michigan or Lake Huron to Lake On
tario and, as the Canadians claimed.
would avoid the dangers of the St.
Clair fats.
The main point. however, was to d.
vert commerce from Lake Erie, US it
was admitted by the advocates of the
project that once the boats from Lakes
Superior, Michigan and Huron entered
Lake Erie the commerce was sure to
go by the way of the Erie canal or the
railway lines to the seaboard. They
argued that If this commerce could be
kept out Of Lake'Erie and thrown into
Lake Ontario by way of the Georgian
bay canal it would go down the st.
Lawrence and be to the benefit Of
Montreal and Quebec. The same re-
suits, it is now, insisted. could be OBJ
tanned by the French river, Lake Nip
issing and Ottawa river route, which
the Canadian authorities appear to re-
gard as more feasible than that of the
Georgian bay.
The fact that the Canadians seem to
be in earnest about constructing such
a waterway as is here indicated should
stir to action the people interested In
the maintenance Of our supremacy Of
the commerce of the great lakes. II
Canada can afford to spend $50. 900, 900
on the proposed deep waterway to
Montreal, the United States can at
ford to spend as many or more mil
lions In building a ship canal from
Buffalo to the Hudson river. 1ffit is
to the political and commercial inter-
est Of the Dominion to have purely
Canadian, route from, Lake Huron, to
the seaboard. it ought to be much
more 10 the interest yof' the United
states to ;zhaye / purely American
route from Lake Erie to the seaboard.
