According to the United States Geo. graphical Survey reports, the nanufac- ture of artificial graphite has increased enormously in recent years, 2,5OO,O0O pounds, valued at $119,Ooo, having been produced in 1901, as compared with ESQ., 750 pounds in 1900, valued at $69, ,S60, and ll62,3s9 pounds, valued at $10,149, in 1897, the first year of commercial production. More than one-half of the output for 1901 was in the form of graphitized electrodes for use in the manufacture of alkali and bleach by electrolytic pro- cesses, the remainder being consumed in the manufacture of paints, lu- bricants, pencils, motor brushes, cruci- bles; and dry batteries. The total con- sumption of graphite of all forms in this country is nearly 150,000 tons, al- most 90 per cent. of which quantity is imported.

It has been suggested that barbed wire fence be built along the interna- tional boundry line in northern Mon- tana to aid the customs officials in pa- trolling the border and enforcing the tariff laws. AS it Is now, cattle particu- larly cause trouble. They are worth about twenty per cent. more on this side of the line than the other, and it is said they have way of drifting in this direction when human beings are not visible to the eye of the guardians against smuggling. But it is found that if the fence is built at the joint expense of the two governments it will be much cheaper to have Canada furn- ish the wire, even though it comes from the United States. This is because the steel trusts are selling wire to outside countries at lower prices than are charged to home consumers.

V A California preacher gives the fol- lowing explanation of why sickness is sent. It is said that the eyes of a hog are so set in his head that he cannot see upward, and that if seized on a starry night and thrown back the vision of the stars will so surprise him that he will forget to squeal. So man often can see only the earthly and God has to lay him on his back by sickness that his eyes may behold the heavenly things, and, beholding them, is so surprised that he learns to love God through his aff1iction.

VETERANS IN THE PENSION BUREAU.

If there is a Department of the Gov

widows shonld be most in evidence, it is
the Pension Bureau. Under the Cieve-
landHoke Smith Lochren regime the num-
Der of these was reduced until less than
one-third of the employees of the Pension
Bureau could by any stretch of record be
called veterans or veterans widows. As
