PACIFIC COAST STATE FAILURES
Exactly Same Number Occurred in
1907 az in 1906,

1907 az in 1906.
A remarkable coincidence appears
in a summary of business failures
compiled by the Bradstreet company,
in that the humber in the Pacific
states for 1907 and 1906 were exactly
the same-653. 1t is also noticeable
that the failures for those years were
considerably less than in 1906 when
they numbered $50 or in 1904 when
there were 764.
Another striking feature of the fail
ures in Pacific coast states last year
was that the assets and liabilities far
exceeded those of the three preceding
years, The total assets of failed con-
Germs in 1907 amounted to $16,977, 1897,
and the largest of the three previous
years was 1904 when the assets were
$3,424,S26. In liabilities a similar diff
ference is shown, those for 1907
amounting to $26,666,744 and for 1904
to $5,3O7 ,O5S.

Washington, March 1O.-Irish oppo-

the arbitration treaty negotiated by
Secretary Olney and Lord Pauncefote
IL years ago, now menaces the new
arbitration treaty that has been
evolved by Secretary Root and Am
bassador Bryce. Already the state de-
partment has been deluged with re-
monstrances and protests from Irish
patriotic organizations, all directed
against the new convention. More
over, this opposition has developed
before anything specific as to the ma
ture and scope of the new treaty has
been made known officially.

which hitherto has taken the output

HOW ISLANDS GET FORESTS

Darwin explains how islands get
their forest growth in this manner:
He took from the foot OF a woodcock
a cake OF dry earth in which was a
SEED OF the IOad rust. He planted the
seed. and ii terminated and lowered.
Prof. Newton sent him the leg of a
partrige which had been wounded and
unable TO fly. Attached to it was a
clod OF earth weighing six and one
half ounces. He broke up the clod and
placed 1t under a bell glass. No fewer
than eighty-twc plants sprang from
II. 1t is the more interesting to know
that the clod OF earth containing this
treasury was kept three years before
planting
It is believed in this manner seeds of
various trees have been carried and de-
posted on far away islands where the
product has grown and increased.
