Three ClOudlets.

One autumn day when earth vas stll,
And sleepy was the morning,
Three little cloudlefs sailed until
The stars made farewell warning. 4
God sent these little cloudlets out
And smilingly he told them
Unless they swiftly got about
He'd surely have to scold them.
So II went here and one went there,
With graceful poise and measure,
Their sea the perfect deeps Of air,
Their need, Gods blessed pleasure.

Steal in Buildings.

From the Aron Age.
An examination of the statistics of iron
and steel production published by the
American Iron and Steel Association dis
closes the fact that even with very great
recent increase the consumption of steel
i'm the building trade has not yet grown
to sufficiently large dimensions TO make
this very prominent matter in the steel
trade. According to the most recent fig
ures published the total production of all
kinds of steel was 10,1SS,S29 gross tons In
1900 The production in the same year of
all kinds of iron and steel structural shapes
was SIS, 161 tons. 1t will therefore be seen
that less than ope-tenth of the steel pro-
duction found its way on the market in
the form of material for building purposes.
1t must further be borne I'm mind that
out of this production Of structural shapes
a considerable portion was diverted to the
bridge works, as well as to manufacturing
establishments using structural shapes for
a variety of purposes. 1t is believed that
about one-half of the production OF such
shapes was used by the builders Of steel
bridges and for miscellaneous purposes.
A great many shapes are worked mp Tor
car trucks and other railroad supplies and
cranes. crane runways and other uses
which are unnecessary to be enumerated
Even If the portion of the production OF
structural shapes devoted TO other lur-
poses than buildings was only oRe-fourth
of the total quantity IL would still leave
the consumption for building purposes not
much In excess of 10000 TONS or about
enc -twentieth of the entire production Of
steel. -

A SCENE IN SHANTUNG.

year. consisting chiefly of copra. The town
is 800 miles from Auckland and :, 100 miles
from Honolulu. The chief ships which go
to it are those from San Francisco on their
way to Australia, and it is now said that
these ships will soon call at Tutuila instead.
Tutuiia which is the largest of our islands
in the Samoans, has the best harbor In the
southern Pacific, and it is not improbable
that it may become the principal island
of this part of the world. For long time
the Samoan group was under the protection
of England, Germany and the United
States but the Germans so acted that We
narrowly escaped having a war with them
and then Great Britain agreed that the
group should be divided between us and
the Germans. And we got the best of the
bargain.
What really may in time become valuable
property are the German possessions in
New Guinea and in the Bismarck archipel-
ago. lying just east of it. New Guinea is an
enormous island and the Germans have the
southeastern end of it. They have lands
there one-thrd as large as the whole Ger
NAH empire. The soil is good for farming
and the mountains are said to contain gold
and other minerals. There are good har-
bors along the northern coast, and about
these the Germans are now setting out

sugar plantations. They are experimenting
with cotton, and hope that this country, in
Africa, may eventually supply their fac
tories They can hire labor at about 3
cents day, and at this rate 1t is hard to
see how we can compete when we must
pay from 75 cents to a dollar day.
German New Guinea has rolling plains
covered with rich grasses. 1t is good
horse and cattle country, and altogether II
is said to be land of promise.
The American Queen Of Neu Pommern.
The richest woman In all the German
possessions in the Pacific is an American.
She lives on the Island Of Neu Pommern In
the Bismarck archipelago and she has six
times as many acres as any OF the indi-
vidual Germans. She has a plantation
there which contains 900 acres. She has
long stretches of sea beach which are rich
in pearl shells and pearl oysters, and she
ships shells by the hundreds of tons. One
OF her cotton plantations contains lo,oeo
acres, and upon 1t are employed fifty Euro
peans and hundreds of natives. She has
other lands on the islands nearby, and alto
gether she is very rich. She Is a trader as
well as a farmer and her ships go from Is
land to island buying copra, pearl shells
and beche de mer and selling bright col
cred calicoes, American axes, knives and
tobacco, together with crackers, canned
meats and chewing gum. She was the first
the islands. The natives have acquired the
habit and 1 am told that even the New
Guinea girls now chew gum.
This womans name Is Mrs. Emma Z.
Forsythe. She is the daughter of one of
our American consuls to the Samoan Is
lands who married the daughter of a Sa-
moan chief. She was well educated and
when about eighteen married an English
man who soon died and left her a widow.
This was thirty or more years ago and
Mrs. Forsythe, who received a small prop
to invest it in trading in different parts of
the South seas. She bought her ships in
San Francisco and sent them from island
to island. making something OF speciality
of the New Guinea trade. She saw that
there was money in the business and de-
veloped 1t. AS she grew richer she bought
land and set out plantations of cocoanuts
and copra. She had wonderful business
ability and made her money breed faster
than Australian rabbits.
After time she took a man named Far
rell into partnership with her and her bust
ness was done under the name of Thomas
Farrell & Co., planters and trading mer-
chants, although much of the brains of the
firm was furnished by herself.
I understand that Mrs. Forsythe is an en-
thusiaStic American, and that she has done
much for American interests in the Pacific
| 1t was largely through her that we first
secured the harbor of Page Pago as coal
, ing station, and later on she offered the
| American government twenty acres OF
ground on her own property in the Island OF
Malulu. Being the granddaughter OF one OF
| the Samoan chiefs on her mothers side she
| has great influence among the Samoans
She speaks their language fiuently and has

Take your map of the Pacific ocean and
look ct the territory which Germany is
slowly. but surely, acquiring within it. A
few years age she had nothing, Today the
iron hand of the kaiserG holds. the great
Chinese province of Shantlnig in its grasp,
and his flag floats over German Islands
through % degrees of north and south lati-
tude. Some of the best steamship lines
which ply between Asia and Europe are
German, and her vessels are trading from
Australia to Manchuria
With the settlement of our war with
Spain Germany came in and bought the left
overs Just east of the Philippines lie the
Pelew. the Caroline and the Ladrone Is
lands with Guam almost in their center.
Uncle Sam retained Guam IN order to have
a station between Honolulu and the Philip
pines but the rest of the islands were left
to Spain, and she sold them to the Ger
mans. The title passed in October, 1879,
when Germany paid to Spain less imam
81, 800 600 for the property.
These islands are numerous but very
small. They cover the ocean east and west
for distance of about two thousand miles,
and north and SOUTH for almost thousand
miles The Caroines alone have about five
hundred islands, the Pelews have 200 and
the Marshalls and the Ladrones are of the
same nature. The most of the islands are
mere beds of coral, jutting out of the sea,
but ON many of them cocoanut trees grow
and copra is an article of export
The Marshall Islands have belonged to
Germany since 1885, and now large plan
tations OF cocoanuts are set out upon them
They produce In tie neighborhood of 5000
tons of copra every year. The Carolines
in addition to the copra, have good fishing
grounds. They are noted for their tortoise
shell and mother-of-pear,, but neither
they nor the Marshalls as yet bring III a
revenue large enough to pay the expenses
Of governing them.

The same is true of Samao. There Ger

The officials have high salaries, so that
Germany pays about $36, 900 year to make
the taxes meet the government expenses.
There are only about 200 Germans on the
islands, mostly officials. Apia has less than
