ers. The sacks are hauled up to con.
siderable height above the vessel, from
which an inclined plane extends to the
deck of the ship; down this smooth
plane the sacks slide into the hold, in
which they are stored.
This is, of course, very slow and
inconvenient method of handling the
grain in comparison with our elevator
system, which does the work much
more cheaply and expeditiously. Mr..
Corthell says that efforts are being
made to interest capitalists engaged in
the elevator business in this country in
the introduction of this labor-saving
invention into Argentina. 1t is very
likely that in the course of a few years
an elevator or two will rise on the
banks of the Payana at Rosario and
supplant the present clumsy method
of handling export wheat.

Modern Boy Larger.

A writer makes a comparison o. the
physique of the public schoolboy OF
to-day with his predecessor, taking
Marlborough and Rugby as examples
The Marlborough measurements were
taken from 1874 to 1901. and those of
Rugby from 1879 to 1901. The ad
vantage is shown to be with the mod
ern boy. At Marlborough a boy OF
13 to-day weighs, on an average, five
and one-half pounds more and is tive
inches taller than the boy of 13 il
1874 An 1s-year-old boy to-day is
four and one-half pounds heavier and
nine-tenths of an inch taller. The
Rugby boy of 13 of to-day is two and
one-half inches taller, and rather
over six pounds heavier than the 13.
year-old boy of 1879. The 17-year-old
boy shows an increase in height OF
nine-tenths of an inch, but a diminu-
tion of one pound in weight.-West

A Liverpool merchant is said to have
discovered process of hardening and
toughening soft woods so that they
can be used in place of naturally hard
woods. The treatment consists in sat
urating the timber with solution of
sugar at the boiling point. The water
is afterward evaporated out, leaving
the pores and interstices of the wood
filed with solid matter, which is not
brittle and shows no tendency to split
or crack. The process also preserves
wood and renders it remarkably i'm
pervious to water. Even hard woods
are said to be benefited by it.-Ccien-

WOMAN AND THE PROVERBS.
Sayings of Different Countries THAI
Are Anything But COmpli-
mentary to Her.

A wonderful similarity exists in
the sayings about women current in
the various nations, says the New
York Sun.
The Spanish rhyme has it: Were
a woman as little as she is good, a
pea pod would make her gown and
a hood"
Anold English saying: IF man lose
a woman and farthing, he will be
sorry he lost the farthing."
The French adage: "A man of
straw is worth a woman of gold"
The German: "There are only two
good women in the world-one dead,
and the other can't be found"
The Scotch say: Honest men
marry soon, wise men never"
In Fife they say: "The next best
thing to no wife is a good wife"
The Arabian declares: Words are
women; deeds are men,"
The Persian sage says that wom-
ans wisdom is under her heel.
The German affirms that every
beautiful daughter of Eve would
rather be beautiful than good.
The German also asserts that
whenever there is mischief brewing
a woman and a priest are at the bot
tom of it.
The Persian asserts that women
and dreams are best out of the
world.
The Corsican says: "Just as good
and bad horse both need the spur,
good and bad woman both need
the stick"
The Hindoo: "a man is not obeyed
by his wife in his own house, nor
does she consider MIN her husband,
unless he beats her" Aqother Him
doc proverb says: Drive out a wom-
ans nature with a pitchfork. and #

aries know that such a thing is even
contemplated.

Public sentiment expressed at the
hearing on the Wet Dock property last
night was principally in applause,
but it was all in favor of having the
question of title settled once for all.
At5the present standing, the squabble
is preventing big plant from pro-
ceeding and is doing the city no good
either.
1t can be taken for granted that the
tax payers of Perth Amboy want the
property used for the greatest good Of
the city and the first thing to be done
is to settle the question of title, and
if the city does not own all the pro-
perty, the people want to know how
much the city does own. This being
SO, there seems to be 70 reason why
the matter should nofbe referred to
the chancellor for bGs opinion. This
the Board of Aldermen should do be-
fore amy more valuable time is lost.

the United States now exceeds any
other country Of the world. Importa-
tons of coal have never reached as
much as two million tons in a single
year prior to the fiscal year 1908,
when they were 3,610,225 tons, or a lit
tie more than l per cent Of the domes-
tic production, while the highest figure
ever reached in exports was in 1901,
when it amounted to 7,675,549 tons.
The relative Importance of the i'm
ports or exports to the coal produc-
ton from the mines Of the United
States is shown by the figures of coal
production as reported from year to
year by the geological survey, which
shows that the total coal production
in the last year was 269 million long
tons, the quantity being about the
same as 1901, in which year the figures
were quoted as 261,S73,675 tons.
The growth in coal production in the

TOWN DIVIDED
AGAINST ITSE, I
Movement On Foot For the Annexa-
ton of CosmopoIis to .
Aberdeen.

ABERDEEN, Nov. 5-A strong
ton of the town of Cosmopolis to
Aberdeen. During the past three days
delegations of the citizens of Cosmo-
polls have been over to Aberdeen
making arrangements for holding he
necessary special election. 1t is said
that the property holders of Cosmo-
polls, with the exception of the Grays
HarbOr Commercial Company and
some others, are anxious to be an
neXed.
The attempted vacation by the city
council of a large portion of the town
site on petition of the Grays Harbor
Commercial Company, together with
alleged intimation coming from that
corporation that a movement for the
disincorporation of the town was on
foot, are the things which started the
annexation idea among the residents
of Cosmopolis.

Gus conflicts between the independent
citizens and the city council and the
Grays Harbor Commercial Company
brought affairs to a pass when the
company sought to disincOrporate the
town.
ITO forestall this, the element op-
annexed to Aberdeen, to be governed
by the Aberdeen council. 1t is said
the matter of disincorporation of a
town like Cosmopolis is simple, re-
quiring only a majority vote. So an
neXation only requires a majority vote
and the Comopolis citizens who came
to Aberdeen to meet the business men
here claim that they have the votes
to carry the annexation. A special
election would have to be called in
both towns and the project of annexa-
ton would have to carry in both
Places
There is hardly man in Aberdeen
who would not favor the proposal OF
annexation, and if the Comopolis peo-
pie are right in their contention that
they can carry the question at home
the election may be looked upon as
good as carried. One of the advant-
ages to result from the annexation
would be that it would make Aberdeen
a city of the second class instead of
the third class. This would give the
city government of the proposed new
city much broader powers and add
prestige and standing of the city in
