GOVERNMENT RECORDS
IN CONSTANT DANGER
Supervising Architect Taylor, of the
Treasury Department, Urges Nee
essity of Greater Precautions.

The new regulations adopted by the
District Commissioners for the proven
ton of fire and panic in theaters and
office buildings may also bring about a
change in the arrangements Of the Gov
ernment for the preservation of records
and other official documents. The great
peril in which priceless records now
are because of danger OF fire has been
related by Supervising Architect Taylor,
Of the Treasury Department
The Government pays in rentals for
department space about S250,00 annual
~, said Mr.. Taylor. THAT sum repre-
sents 2 per cent on about s13.00OOO0. If
the Government would raise 10000. 900
/ by issuing per cent bonds and use the
money in constructing new buildings it
would furnish all the space required for
the depa -tments for many years to
come and save annually thousands of
dollars now paid out in heavy rentals.
There is not a department building in
Washington whose records are not eX-
posed TO destruction by fire. and the
necessity for better storage facilities is
generally recognized.
The last Congress made a small ap-
4 preparation which was to be expended
upon plans for a Hall of Records to
cost 81 sos, 900, but there is no telling when
the appropriations for the building will
be authorized, so slowly does Congress
move in such expenditures.
The danger from fire in the depart
ment buildings. Mr.. Taylor says, arises
: from the fact that In each of them
are long corridors and rooms filed with
sofflcial papers. which flames from a
spark could sweep out of existence in
a few minutes. The great increase in
the records in the last few years is the
principal reason why they are not more
securely preserved. In many cases resi-
dence buildings have had to be rented
for Office uses

INTERNAL COMMERCE
IS WELL SUSTAINED
Staple Commodities Held
Their Own Last Year.
LARGE EXPORT OF WHEAT
Increase Not Confined to Northwest,
But Is Evident Also on
Pacific Coast.

Reports relating to the internal COM
merce Of the United States for eleven
months ending with November as pre-
sented by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor, through its bureau OF sta
tistics. show in general that staple
commodities at primary markets have
thus far this year held their own. COM
pared with the movements of 1902. Grain
and live stock receipts at leading cen
tiers have. as a rule. reached, if not
exceeded last years level. To the end
of November. 1859, 1862 head of cattle
were received at five leading markets.
compared with 6.99419 head for the
corresponding period of 1902 Receipts
of all kinds in the eleven months were
q, 995. s74 head in 1903 and %, AIS, 442 head
in 1902.
Wheat Movements.
Wheat movements continue to be in
fuenced by milling demands. Up to
the close of November Minneapolis was
reported as still drawing wheat from
winter wheat territory as far south as
Oklahoma. Large quantities OF -four
! have been going out from Minneapolis
to China and Australia. Total ship
ments. domestic and foreign, from Min
eapolis in November. 1903. were 2.O73. 1O6
This increase is not confined to the
Northwest. but on the North Pacific
coast as well, milling demands have
kept up the price of wheat TO the level
which has materially restricted exports,
in spite of the lowest ocean grain rate
on record between the Pacific coast
and Europe Meanwhile. shipments from
the Southern hemisphere have come to
the front. and will be materially infiu-
encing the worlds market of wheat for
the rest of the crop year.

How Ants Sleep.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harpers Magazine.
During sleep the ants body is quite still.
Occasionally may be noted a regular lift
ing up and setting down of the fore feet
one leg after another. with almost
rhythmic motion. The antennae also have
a gentle. quivering. apparently involuntary
movement. almost like breathing. The
soundness of slumber was frequently
proved by applying the feather end Of a
quill. The feather tip is lightly drawn
along the back, stroking with the fur"
There is no motion. Again and again this
action is repeated, the stroke being made
gradually heavier. Still there is no change
The strokes are directed upon the head
with the same result. Then the feather Is
applied to the neck with a waving mo-
ton intended to tickle 1t. The ant remains
motionless. Finally the sleeper is aroused
by a sharp touch of the quill. She
stretches out her head, then her legs
which she shakes also; steps nearer to the
light, yawns, and begins to comb her an
tennae and brush her head and mouth.
Then she chambers over her sleeping COM
rades, dives into an open gangway and
soon has said good morning to another
tour of duty. Be it well noted, however,
that she has gone to work, as she and all
her fellows always do, not only rested, but
with her person perfectly clean!

Bos'n Must Go.
From the Pail Mall Gazet

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
among the changes now on the carpet Is
the abolition of the boatswain. So far as
one can gather the idea is to make all
boatswains of less than fifteen years SEMI
GRITTY qualify curriers', and let this rank
gradually die out, as that of the old navi-
eating officers has dore. These alterations
Will remove one of the oldest warrant ranks
in the navy. The .'Batsuen," as the
boatswain was originally called, was In the
earlier days a much more important indi-
vidual than he is today-in fact, he seems
to have ranked almost as high as the sail
ing master of the ship. Ropes and sails
and masts and yards were always his spe-
cialty. and the disappearance of these from
the fleet seems likely to be followed by his
own. Not that there is any lack of work
for him to do. Even in the modern IRON
clad the boatswain has important duties to
perform. but the authorities seem to think
that the duties may just well be dis
charged by the gunners, who are on
the top line in everything. so much import
ance is there attached to the branch for
which they specially qualify.
