GOLD EXPORTS AND TRAVEL.
Amount Annually Spent by Americans
in Europe Estimated at S4OO, GOO, 900.


The recent gold exports, small in volume
as they were, are suggestive of the rela-
tons which this market bears to those OF
Europe and serve to recall the fact that
one of the potent factors in shaping the
course of exchange between New York and
European centers is the summer expenses
of Americans soJourning in Europe. This
is an item which naturally does not appear
in the reports of our foreign trade but it
is of sufficient Importance to materially
modify the balance of trade In our favor
representing the excess of exports over i'm
ports.
These expenses of Americans in Europe
go on, of course, IN some degree all through
the year, but the amount spent abroad is
naturally largest In summer, and Ii is dur
ing this season that the effect OF this par
tcular feature of the international ex-
change situation is most felt. With the in
crease In travel to European countries the
amount spent In this way by Americans has
largely increased In recent years. 1t Is OF
course. impossible to estimate closely the
amount of money which is annually lost
to the United States in this way, but that
the amount is large is universally admitted
On the other side even closer attention is
given to this particular phase of our for
eign relations than we ourselves give to it.
New York banker. who was recently
abroad largely In connection with impor-
tant exchange transactions. in discussing
this question the other day stated that
while In Paris he met a French banker who
had made careful Investigations with a view
of ascertaining SO far possible the actual
amount of this particular factor In the
exchange market The estimate finally
reached by this banker was that the
amount spent annually by Americans trav-
cling in Europe was close to $4,000 600, or
500. 600 600 This is fully $50 000, 600 in eX-
cess of the estimates that have been cur
rent for some years This is one of the
things which explains why, despite the
large trade balances in our favor, the New
York market is frequently placed in the po-
sition of debtor abroad. This item and
perhaps equally large amount annually
paid to foreigners for freight and insurance
charges on ocean traffic make up a sum
which IL takes a very large trade balance
to offset.

Modern Financial Banking.
N the Providence Journal

the PFOVldeBce JOurnaI.
The newer plan of using deposited funds
not much for the discounting of the
regular commercial paper of customers as
for the promotion of more or less specu-
lative enterprises has come into use IN
answer to a natural demand and is doubt
less capable of being employed to the
great advantage of general business
well that of individuals But the great
err profits possible in this kind of banking
business necessarily involve greater risks.
and these should not be incurred without
the provision of extreme precautions.
These precautions are to be sought pri
marily in the integrity and exceptional
ability of those who engage in financial
banking, and secondarily in proper sys-
tenn of governmental examination and
control.

the 100000. 600 United States government
loan was offered in 1896 the most promi-
nent banking house in New York sent in a
bid for 'all or none" of the issue. The gov
eminent, seeing that the private investor
was returning to the market, rejected the
application forthwith, and the banking
house had to take it's place in the rear of
the line OF little investors.
Preference is generally shown, in such
loan operations, to very small investors
who are known TO seek the bonds for in
come-producing purposes. 1t has been COM
mon talk in Berlin that when the last Rus
sian loan was placed there distinct con-
cession in price was offered subscribers who
agreed to wait six months for the delivery
of the bonds, though receiving their inter
est in the meantime Since the first British
loan was f1oated here during the Boer war,
five years ago, much progress has been
made in finding a market for foreign bonds
and securing popular participation.

A SLIDING BOAT.
A Frenchman's Craft That Moves on
Top Of Water Instead Of Through It.

From Public Opinion.
The fact that a stone can skim the water
II its fat surface strikes squarely has re-
Gently been put in practice in the construc-
ton Of sliding boat by a French inventor.
This invention, by NJ. de Lambert, is de-
scribed in a recent number of La Nature
OF Paris, by M. Daniel Belief, who says
that Ito understand the theoretical advan-
tages of the De Lambert invention we must
consider the disadvantages of ordinary nav
igation. First, we have the resistance
caused by the water in front of the boat.
Then there is the friction of the water on
the bottom of the boat. The first resist
ance, however, Is the greater: it is in direct
relation to the size OF the submerged por-
ton Of the boat at its largest point. and 1t
is only possible to modify this condition by
giving the boat a form which facilitates
the dispersion of the liquid mass. But this
form has certain prescribed limits which
must not be passed. The only way out OF
the difficulty is to build a boat which glides
on the water" The friction which is pres
ent when the De Lambert boat slides over
the water Is very slight, and the power
which is necessary in order to make the
boat glide Is not high. When the boat is
at rest 1t Is supported by floats.
The boat constr ucted by NJ. de Lambert
has a total length of twenty feet. with
width of ten feet between the inclined
planes upon which 1T slides The boat has
parallel floats resembling certain Asatic
canoes. The two floats are very narrow
and are united by cross pieces. partly of
wood and partly of aluminium, metal
which has been used to a large extent in
the construction of the boat because of it's
slight weight. The motor used is a De
Dion-Douton of twelve horse power, but
the essential parts of the boat fixed
sliding planes, adjusted under the boat a.
carefully regulated distances from each
other. These planes, which are made of
wood are immersed to a depth of several
centimeters when the boat is at rest and
they are inclined at an angle which has
been decided upon after wide experimental
ton. The total weight of the boat is about
Loo pounds. but in order to move this
weight it requires a motor of only twelve
horse power, while In the case of automo-
bile boats the motors required are sixty,
eighty and even one hundred horse power.
M. Belief says that NJ de LaUibert's boat
has been timed by Official chronometers
and that the results have been surprising
When the motor is started the boat com
mences to move with the planes still SUBJ
merged, cutting the water horizontally. But
this lasts only a short time; the planes
show an instantaneous tendency to rise
and they are practically on the water at
the end of few meters. Then the speed
quickly increases because of the immense
diminution in resistance. and soon the boat
is sliding on the water, or, more exactly On
a layer of air resting between the planes
and the water, at speed of fourteen, ff-
teen, twenty-five miles per hour.

Electric Fan Sore Throat.
from the Philadelphia Record

rFoh tnt KtcOfd.
The reason the electrician cold" Is SC
often accompanied by sore throat is, accord
ing to a doctor whose downtown location
brings him many such cases, that the
draught made by the fan carries so much
dust with 1t. The fact is" says this au-
thority, that the air stirred by the fan is
not fresh air. unless the fan is backed up
against an open window. When operating
In an inside room or in similar places where
1t is most appreciated, the fan uses the
same air over and over, and this air gathers
up and keeps In motion all the available
dust
