Aluminium for Electric Conductors

Consul F. w. Mahin, in writing
from Nottingham that the manufac-
ture of aluminium cables as electrical
conductors in place of copper has
actively begun in Great Britain, adds:
1.-THE high price of copper has led
to this. Aluminium, 1t is explained,
is an efficient substitute for copper
where space is not an important con-
sideration; is lower In cost, needs
fewer poles for its support, and is less
affected by the atmosphere than cop
per. Three serious former disadvan-
tages are now said to have been over
come-the difficulty of procuring al
minimum in reasonably pure state, of
drawing it into wire, and of making
satisfactory joints. The cables and
wires being made in this country are
covered with vulcanized bitumen
treated by Paterson's method, and
they are, it is claimed, not brittle at
low temperatures nor unduly soft at
high temperatures, which they would
meet with in ordinary USE"

There is considerable excitement
at Phoebe over the finding of skel-
eton two miles from Panaca, a camp
near that town. The man had appa-
rently been dead for ten or fifteen
years and from the articles found at
the place the general impression
seems to be that the remains are
those of Robert Smith, who mysteri-
ously disappeared from Phoebe a
number of years ago. No trace was
ever found of Smith and finally the
people began to believe that he had
suddenly decided to leave the country
and that some day he would be heard
from. Articles found near the body
indicates that the remains are those
of Smith but there appears to be no
way to ascertain how he met death.

IMPORTS FOR JULY, 1907.
Increase Has Much Significance for
Thinking Men.

Imports for July, 1907, amounted to
$124,764 ,O63, against $102, 2,592,449 for
July 1906; increase, $22,171,614. OF
dutiable and competitive goods the
value imported in July, 1907, was
SGT ,SS0,301, being an increase of
sc, ,533, ,935 over July of last year. The
non-dutiable imports for July, 1907,
amounted to $56, 1888 ,702; increase over
July, 1906, $15,637 ,679.
On its face this increase in the
value of competitive goods, $6,533, ,935,
does not appear to be more than nor
NAL. 1t is. in fact, less than the in
crease of July, 1906, over July, 1905,
which was $12,770, 649.
The fact that this rate of increase
was not maintained for July, 1907 may
turn out to be due to a decrease in tn.
invoice values of the merchandise inn
ported. The truth as to this cannot
be accurately ascertained until com
parison shall have been made between
quantities imported in July, 1906, and
July, 1907, respectively.

dutiable goods imported in July, 1906,
carries with it much larger proper
ton of increase in quantities.
Domestic producers will expect

BUSINESS BULLETIN.
Distribution of Fall Merchandise In
creases Steadily.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Distribution of fall merchandise at
retail increases steadily, except in
some sections where the weather has
been unfavorable. Jobbers are still
forwarding large consignments of dry
goods and kindred lines, and reports
from the interior indicate confidence
in well sustained business during the
autumn and winter There are still
complaints of caution at eastern
cities regarding future operations, on
account of the financial situation, but
on the whole, mercantile collections
are more prompt.
Manufacturers have orders on hand
assuring active machinery for some
months, even in the industries where
conservatism is a noticeable feature,
while each week puts vast quantity
of agricultural products beyond the
reach of early frost which is now re-
garded as the only serious menace to
the great farm staples.

Tariff Reduction bv Treaty..

The goods imported from Germany
are virtually under the new agree
ment allowed to enter at the value
certified by the German chambers of
commerce. Thus the duty on German
goods is less than that eXacted upon
the products of other countries, which
are subject to an ad valorem rate of
duty, because the lower the value at
which imports are appraised the less
the duty. Until we allow France,
England and other countries the same
favor it can hardly be called a square
deal. The Manufacturers association
and the standpatters object to this
agreement with Germany because ii

ZooloaYrs New Service.

Instead of going to geology and
physical geography to throw light on
zoology, DR.. Scharff of Dublin has re-
versed the process. In a paper read
to the biologists in Boston he proceed
ed from the general principle that the
distribution of animals now living on
the earth tells the story Of the forma-
tion and changes of continents. The
fact that certain fauna are common to
widely separated regions, such as
Japan and the United States, points to
a time when Asia was connected with
North America by a land bridge near
Bering Strait. 1t is furthermore prob
able that the widely differing species
of eastern and western America prove
that these regions were once separat-
ed by water This theory is striking
example of the constructive imagina-
tion in science. Moreover, it is op-
posed to the hypothesis of Darwin
and Wallace, who held that insular an
imal life had an accidental origin. DR..
Scharff's theory really takes us no
farther back, says the New York Post,
than Darwin did to the origin of spe-
cies and the beginnings of life in the
great process of evolution. Men of
science are bafIled by it as before,

Seven Months of Foreign Trade.

Our purchases from foreign coun-
tries continue to increase in ratio
far greater than that of our increases
Of sales to foreign countries. For the
month of July, 1907, our exports were
in value $12S, 765,354 while our i'm
ports were 1924, ,063, leaving an ex-
cess of exports of s4001, ,291. Here we
have the largest importation in any
July in the history of the country, to-
gether with the smallest monthly eX-
cess of exports in many years. At this
rate our trade balance of S47S,000, 600
would be reduced to $50000,000 for
the year ending July, 1907.
For the seven months ending with
July the imports were 1876, 043,246, an
increase of $130,091, ,467, compared
with the corresponding period of 1906.
Our exports for the seven months
were $1,069, 9,215,7 ,72G, being an increase
over 1906 of S99, 1913, ,724, but de
crease in excess of exports amounting
to $50, ,743, as compared with the
first seven months of 1906.
These figures show that we are in
creasing our foreign trade rapidly,
but mostly in imports They show o
steady decrease in our trade balance
that if continued would leave us in
debt to the rest of the world.
Whenever the excess of exports
falls below $400 100000, as it is GER
tain to do at the present ratio of pur.
chases to sales, the actual money bal
ance will be against us.
Fully S400,000,000 is needed each
year to pay for carrying our outgoing
and incoming freights in foreign
ships; for interest and dividends on
foreign capital invested here; for
money spent abroad by American
travellers, and for money sent abroad
by our foreign-born wage earners.
here; for money spent abroad by
American travellers, and for money
sent abroad by our foreign-born wage
earners.
Our national finances will therefore
cease to be on an easy basis when we
fail to sell at least $400,0O0,000 year
more than we buy,
For the first seven months of 1907
we are falling far below that figure.
| If the same rate holds good for the
remaining five months of 1907 oul
| trade balance will have dropped to
about $330,000,000.
! Yet the clamor for "more foreign
! trade" goes right on, and we have just
concluded trade agreements specifical
| ~ designed to greatly increase our in
take of competitive goods from Ger
many, France and Great Britain. The
| showing for seven months of 1907
looks as though we had best turn our
attention to restricting rather than en-
couraging the inflow of comparative
| competitive commodities.

A HUNT FOR BEARS.
II viii be Made by President Roose-
welt in Louisiana Canebrakes.

New Orleans, La - John NJ.
Parker, who will be one of President
Roosevelt's hosts during his camping
and hunting expedition in southern
Louisiana next month, arrived here
Friday from Mississippi.
Holt Collier, a famous Confederate
negro scout, freedman and hunter. will
act as guide for the presidents party.
Collier is noted especially as a bear
hunter. and was in charge of President
Roosevelt's hunting party in Missis-
sippi a few years ago.
Although the itinerary of the .eXpe-
dition is not arranged, it is known that
the president will be offered opportuni-
tres to hunt in the Louisiana cane
brakes, where, as far as known, no
human being has ever madeta perma-
nent habitation. and where the sport,
i'll some respects, is quite out of the
ordinary. The cane grows to a height
of 10 to 10 feet and, at this time of
the year, is blown into long windrows,
leaving some open alleys between. 1t
is necessary to cut trails across these
Windrows for the passage of the dogs.
The hunting will probably be done
entirely on horseback. In order to
proceed quickly through the thickets
each huntsman will carry a double
edged knife with a straight blade near
ly foot long and heavy enough to
chop passage through obstructing
growths. Trailing vines are the prin-
cipal obstacle for which the knives are
used.
In addition to bear and boar. a few
panthers and occasionally wolves are
shot in the canebrakes.
