OUR NEW MARX IN COMMERCE

The foreign commerce of the United

which was considered the banner year
prior to 1903. Imports are larger than
in any preceding year and exports are
larger than in any preceding year save
"a the exceptional year 1901.
The imports for the first time crossed
the billion dollar line. the total being

millions. The single year in which the
value of exports exceeded those of 1903
Is the fiscal year 1901. when the total
was 81. 4S7 764, 991. The imports exceeded
those of 1898 by about 159 million dol
lars and the exports exceeded those of
1903 by about 572 million dollars. The
imports. therefore, have increased 1874
per cent during the decade and exports
have increased SIS per cent during the

The growth in importation, which is
the most striking characteristic of the

TAKES $4,000 WORTH.
Topeka Capitalist Will Purchase Par
of Paving Bond Issue.

Mayor BergundthaI stated that c. w.
Snyder, the Topeka capitalist, would
take $1,000 worth of the recent issue of
paving bonds issued by the city of To-
peka.
An option was given the Topeka
State Savings bank by the council for
the disposal of the issue of 1922, 900 of
bonds but as yet the officers of the bank
have not reported progress. The bank
offered to take $50 900 of them in any
event and said it would try to dispose
of the others. 1t is regarded as likely
that at least a considerable part of the
issue will be sold. If necessary the city
will give the bonds in payment for the
work of the paving contractors.

An expert of the Bureau of Forestry
is now cruising in the Adirondacks to
determine how much available hard
wood lands there are along the New
York CentraTs tracks. Similar work
will be done for the Erie and the Penn
eyivania. a party of foresters is on the
so, O0O-acre tract of the Baltimore and
Ohio road near on-Gauley, w.
Va, to determine how much tie tim
Der there is on the tract and how many
trees it will produce every year under
conservative mana cement. The pres
ent method of purchasing railroad ties
can not long continue. 1t is becoming
more and more hazardous to rely on
what may be obtained on the market
for the reason that the market is be-
coming more and more unwilling to
let it's timbers go as railroad ties when
as sawed lumber it would bring a
to haul their ties as far as 700 miles.
1t is absolutely necessary that supplies
be rrown nearer home and that there
be a certainty of how much can be
STAINED. A railroad that needs half
million ties on short notice must have
those ties at any price and is often
compelled to pay far more than they
are worth The great advantage to the
railroad of growing its own ties and
practicing forestry would be that it
would know to a certainty just how
many ties it could count on every
year and how much they would cost.

A Substitute for CeIIuIold.

Not many years ago threatened
ivory famine brought forth the re-
markable composition known as eel.
luloid, which ever since has been used
in many cases as substitute for the
more precious material. Recently the
imitation itself has been initiated. and
that by a curious preparation of potato
pulp. The inventor was a Dutchman
named Knipers. He treated the waste
pulp-a residue from the manufacture
Of the artificial potato fiour-with q
solution of acid and glycerine. The
resulting compound took the compost
ton of a sort OF stickfast, which Is
dried and ground to powder. With
the aid OF water the powder is nodded
into blocks. much as plaster OF paris
Is nodded by moistening to paste.
However, there is this important diff.
ference between the celluloid and the
new substitute-the new compound
can be cut and turned and bored aud
used for every purpose from buttons
upward. In short, 1t Is complete
substitute for bone and ivory.

Among officeholders in Washington
Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury
is regarded as a most extraordinary
person. Mr.. Tracewell's salary is $5,-

Worse than entertaining such a heter-
odox opinion, however, is the fact that
he has not hesitated to give expires.
sion thereto. During the recent ses.
sion of congress he was giving a sub
committee some information regard
ing his office. The chairman compli-
mented him by saying: you are the
first man government officer who has
appeared before us who did not ask
for an increase of salary" Tracewell
replied bluntly: I'm getting a blank
sight too much now" In private con-
versation later he said: Considering
the hours Of their labor and their re-
sponsibilities government employees
are paid more than any other class of
men in the world" All of which is
regarded in bureaucratic circles as
little short of revolutionary.
