Electrical exports have fallen off
considerably from last years report.
The total Of electrical machinery and
instruments for the eight months, in
Guiding February is $1O,946,S14,
while the corresponding period of
1906-O7 gave $11,169,9S9, This
might we'll be explained by the drop
in copper, but as an actual fact the
loss occurs not in heavy machinery,
but in the minor apparatus where
copper does not cut much figure. The
export OF electrical machinery for the
month (March) rose from S561,672
to $8SAO47, but the export of APP
paratus fell from $579,S55 to $479,-
779. An investigation OF the figures
shows that in apparatus the demand
from the United Kingdom fell off
from $1,237363 for the eight months
to $467S3O.

Boys Visit President.

Washington correspondent Cincinnati
 TimesStar
 While Guy Mallon was waiting for the United States supreme court to take up a case of his several days ago. he con cluded to run over to New York on bus ness and leave his two boys, Neil, aged Il, and John, 1 year older, to shift for them- selves in this sedate old village. He has | full confidence in their self-reliance and savey, so he departed without any mis- i givings whatsoever, cantenting himself merely with delivering a few chunks Of lpaternal advice and with loosening up the purse strings a trfe When Mallon, pere had made his exit, the boys began l to look about for entertainment. They concluded that it would be just great to drop in and see the President. Consulta- tlon with a friend disclosed to them the approved method, and one morning they 1 presented themselves to Major Loeffler, the major domo, with a card of intro- duction. The major took a proud interest 1 in them, and the preliminaries were quickly arranged President Roosevelt never oyerlooks an opportunity to make | boys comfortable, and a few Sraybeards | had to stand to one side while he told | about his own boy, Archie, about the | interest Archie takes in football, about the Michigan boy who is going to teach 1 him to use skis, and Kindred topic. Then
 
 and their appreciation was cordial in the extreme. But the situation wasn't with out it's complications after all. When they came out a secret service man stopped them. 'Who are you for for President?' he asked. Taft was the prompt re- ply Then what are you wearing Can non button for?n he continued. Neil blushed a rosy red. He surely had for gotten about that old Cannon button. He | took -t off in a shamefaced manner and allowed it to disappear in his capacious pocket Then he and his brother hurried to the umbrella rack at the door to get their $l shower stick and make for all outdoors. But their shower stick was gone. A Washington congressman was supposed to have taken it, so the accom- moda ting doorkeeper gave them the um- brella that belonged to the congressman. 1 But the worst is yet to be told.

UtiIizinq Refuse.

From the Philadelphia Press Banana skins are utilized in soap
 making on the west coast of Africa. The skins are rich in alkali, so they are burn to an ash and this mixed with
 water and palm oil goes to make q cleanser which is in demand among the whites as well as the natives.
 This brings out conspeuously a fact which Americans, the most wasteful peo-
 pie on earth, have not begun to realize
 that big values are thrown away in so- called refuse.
 At some time. when you have tossed out a pair of discarded shoes, did it ever strike you that you might be combins your hair with them later? That old footwear does enter into combs is fact. The shoes are cut up, soaked In chloride of sulphur until the pieces are hard and brittle, and then ground to a powder. This is mixed with
 a material of the nature of glue or gum and then pressed into shapes not only for combs, but for buttons and knife
 handles.
 Another example of an apparently value less thing being quite the reverse is given by Norway. The farmers in the southern part of that country have found that
 the gathering of seaweed is more profit
 able than tillins their fertile lands. The seaweed is dried and burned and the ashes are sold to chemists. From it iodine is obtained.

BISHOP GOODSELL
 ON DISCIPLINE
In Address Important Changes
 Are Recommended
NO BACKWARD STEP TAKEN
While 1t Is Estimated That Certain Re strictions May Be Removed From the Discipline No Laxity
 Is Encouraged.

Baltimore, May 7-Bishop Goodsell of
 Boston was easily the central figure of
 todays session of the quadrennial gen eral conference of the Methodist Epsco-
 pal church by reason of the fact that tt
 was he who read the address of the
 bishops and that his addres, always d
 matter of much interset contained this
 time matter of unusual importance. AL
 though it's expressions relative to the liquor question evoked the greatest amount
 ct enthusiasm doubtless it's most import
 ant sentences were those embracing the | recommendations of the bishops touching
 paragraph 2lS of the church discipline, which is the paragraph relating to amuse-
 ments. The address recommends that
 from paragraph 24S certain words, indi- scated but not quoted in the address, be
 stricken out The exact words arc
 dancing, playing at games of chance, attending theatres, horse races, circuses, dancing parties or patronizing dancing cir
 cles or taKlng such other"
 This recommendation is followed mme diately by the declaration of the bishop
 that grave injustice will be done if ther ! recommendation is Interpreted as an
 abandonment Of early opposition to world ly amusements, and that it is, indeed, d
 return to the principles and exact words
 of John Wesley.
 The immediate outcome of the bishops treatment of the liquor question was the adoption of a resolution favorable to the Hittlefeld interstate liquor shipment bl4l now before Congress, winch resolution is
 tc be laid before Speaker Cannon of the House of Representatives by commlttee tomorrow.
 Tonight there was held at the Lyric a
 meeting in celebration of the centenaries of the organization of the general con l ference as a delegated body and of the
 adoption of the constitution of the Meth
 odist Episcopal church.
 1 There was a distinguished gathering also at banquet of the Brotherhood of St. Paul held at the First Methodist Episco- | pal church.

COREAN EMPEROR
 SAFE ON THRONE


 Tolzio. May Mot a shadow of truth exists for the rumor of the punishment of the Corean Emperor by Japan, high officials of the foreign office simply ridi- culing it's absurdity. The former Elm peror, on the earnest advice of Prince Ito, once resolved to come to Tokio to see how the Crown Prince, who is here prosecuting his studies, was progressing, but afterward changed his mind.
 Corean Minister of Agriculture Fong, who came to Tokio with the Crown Prince, said on the eve of his departure for home that he would try his utmost to persuade the ex-Emperor to visit To- kio, in order to remove whatever suspi- cion might still exist in his mind regard ing Japan's attitude toward Corea.
 Prince Ito once said to the Associated Press that he respected Corean sover- eighty, and there has been no occasion whatever since to change his policy.
