Chances in the Far East.

It is reasonably well settled that the China sea and the Sea of Japan are to become Japanese lakes, and that Japan's influence in all the Far East will predominate. If it be not fully settled, Oyama stands ready to con vince all unbelievers.
 Four countries are directly inter- ested in this far-reaching revolution in the populous Far East, where nearly half of mankind live, some of them being very intelligent and alert, and all of whom are entitled to live their own lives and work out their own destiny. The four foreign countries are France, Germany, England and the United States. France owns Indo- China, which lies west south of China, the boundary line being not far from Hong Kong and Canton. This prov ince was unlawfully wrested from China, but it is not part of China proper. and France may not be asked to hand it back.
 It is different, however, with Kiao- Chou and Wei-Hai-Hai, both on the Shantung peninsula, near Port Ar thur. When Russia seized Port Ar thur. Germany followed suit by seiz- ing Kiao-Cho and England seized Wei-Hai-Hai in order to checkmate Germany and Russia. Russia has lost for all time. Port Arthur, and England has stood ready to give back Wei-Hai- Hai, but Germany has decided to strongly fortify her loot, and this causes England to hesitate. Japanese diplomacy will, however, find way to dislodge both of the robber nations from the Shantung peninsula.
 The United States hold the Philip pines. which lie on the China sea, not far from the Japanese island of For mosa. They came to us partly through the fortunes of war rein forced by an insane greed for terri tory, regardless of it's location or na- ture. We are outliving that spell of greed, and if We are willing to sell the Philippines to Japan the worst effects of that spell will have disappeared. It is better for the world that the Far

century the production averaged but s16,OOO,O0O a year. The surprising in- crease to s4O0, ,O00, ,OOO year is bring ing up grave questions, and causing thoughtful men to consider the situa' tion.
 It will increase bank deposits, ard therefore bank credits, and bank credits in turn will advance, first, the prices of stocks and bonds, and after wards of a wide range of subjects Wheat, cotton, corn, iron and steel will all feel the annual impulse. Rents, wages and salaries will after while go up. Business men will be eager to extend their operations, and a business boom becomes at length inevitable.
 Assuming that the gold output will not be lessened it is difficult to say what the end will be. The gold pro- duct will, no doubt, be forthcoming each year, but all booms end in a panicky period, and so will the one in- duced by the production of gold. Prices will, however, be gradually lifted to higher levels, and the trouble will be that there will be no uniformity in the process. If the necessaries of life are increased in price hardships will occur unless wages are likewise in. creased, and this is difficult thing to regulate under the best of circum- stances,

Various estimates have been given as to the exact amount of money spent each year for adulterated foods and drugs according to recent statistics published it ranges from $S75,O0O.0OO to $75O, GOO. .OOO and large percentage of this represents money paid out for supplies that contain rank poisons. The law in many states is very explicit as to what constitutes adul- iteration, and prohibits all substitution of one ingredient for another in making up a prescription or in the matter of food. In general the law declares that if any substance has been added to reduce or lower or injuriously affect it's quality or strength, or if cheaper or inferior ingre- dients have been substituted wholly or in part for the article, or if any valuable constituent of the article has been re- moved the food is adulterated. Thus it will be seen that food may be adulterated and yet not contain any poisonous sub stances.
 To turn to our every day products, we find that not only is flour frequently adulterated, but there are two mills, one in Ohio and one in Kansas, which turn out a certain grade of Indian corn flour used only to adulterate wheat flour. It 41.r and diabetic Hours contain starch. The food laws have been described as chaotic in this country, and they cannot be anything else until we have a national law. At present in New Jersey the courts have decided that spices are not foods. neither are condiments hence the state law does not hinder any one from adul- teratins them. However, no law seems able to prevent spice aduteration. The ! government reports show that in peppers | and spices examined v the department ! of chemistry the following ingredients
 have been found.

Steel Rail Trade.

Last years production of steel rails was 2,137,957 tons, and it is believed the actual output of the present year will be in excess of that of 1904. The consumption of next year is estimated at 2,900,000 tons, and it may cross the three million line. The figures for next year are not merely guesses, for the rail mills are busily booking or ders for 1906 delivery. The price is to be S2S ton. The figures of recent years are as follows.
