cANADA's CHIEF MARKET.
Trade with En- gland Declining
I'm


Shipments to L. :. Increasing.
United States Consul Workman, Of
Three Rivers, Can. says it is not true
that the destruction of the Canadian
forests is due principally TO the large
demands for lumber from the United
States. The United States takes only
about % per cent of her timber con-
sumption from Canada. The States
consume yearly about 100000 cords
of pulp wood, of which the Adirondack
forests alone furnish 4S0000 cords.
From Canada the pulp wood exports for
the year ended July 1. 1901. We're 49,,
23S cords, valued at 81. .049. and for
the year ended July /. 1905, the value
reported was S2.GOO.S14. the United
States taking all the shipments. To
this should be added another yroduct
Of the forests, the ground wood pulp,
which now supports thirty-eight mills,
turning out 254 tons daily. of which,
besides the home consumption, the OK
port in 1863 amounted III value to 49,
339. lbs, the United States taking Of
this export to the amount Of $2,G94,-
122.
Some Canadians who are we'll in
formed on the question of lumber ex-
rorts express pessimistic views regard
ing the export trade III lumber from
Canada to England. The indications
are that in the immediate future ship
ments of lumber to England will be
small. in comparison with the record
of the past. English dealers are now
ordering their supplies largely from
Sweden and Norway, where they can
purchase more cheapIy than in the Ca
madam market. Canada's future mar
ket, it is asserted, Will be the United
States. Buyers from this country have
already made an invasion of the Do
miniOn to purchase large quantities Of
the Southern white pine, and the IN
usual increase in the demand has ad-
vanced the price Of that wood 100 per
cent already. This change of condi-
tions has led the Canadian lumbermen
to realize that henceforward their mar
ket viii be the United States, and that
they will have no need to rely upon the
European market for the disposal of
their produce.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Cheap Substitute for Present Fila.
ment Wires in Bulbs.

ment Wires in Bulbs.
a new electric lamp, which threatens
to revolutionize the present. system Of
lighting by means of the electric cur
rent, has been devised by an Austrian
chemist-Dr. Hans Kuzel-wno has oc-
cupied many years in studying the prin-
ciple involved in his invention. He has
succeeded in devising a lamp which he
calls the Syrius lamp, and which prom
iSeS to reduce the price of electrical
lighting to a wonderful degree. says
the New York Tribune. AS is well
known, incandescent gas lighting is
much cheaper than electric light under
the present systems, because the fla
ment wires of the latter are very ex-
penSive, and the glass bulbs soon wear
out in service. DR.. KuZeI has invented
a substitute for the glow thread, by
forming out of common AMI cheap met
als and metalloids colloidS in a plastic
mass, which can be handled like clay,
and which, when dry, become as hard
as stone. Out of this mass very thin
wire threads are then shaped. which
are of uniform thickness and of greas
homogeneity. These two characteris-
ties are of great value in the technics
OF incandescent lamps
The Kuzel or Syrius lamp requires
scarcely one-quarter of the electric cur.
rent which the ordinary electric lamp
with filament wire requires Exper.
imentS have shown, it is asserted. that
the new Syrius lamp can Eurn for s.
800 hours at stretch. Another adj
vantage claimed for the Syrius is THAI
the intensity of the light always re-
mains the same, the lamp bulbs never
becoming blackened, as is the case with
the ordinary bulb.

Really Too Modest.

This talk about the "peekaboo"
waists reminds one of the times. about
Il century ago, when it is said people
were shocked if a little girl appeared
in public whose pantalettes did not ex-
tend TO her ankles. Some people are so
modest that they are really injurious
to morality. BY the way, the sugges-
ton once made to the management of
the ostrich farm by the Times-Union
that the birds be provided with pants
to save the feelings of the over-deli-
cately minded has not been adopted.
We believe, though. there has been no
falling off in the patronage on this ac-
Times Union.

that the noise was too much for their
