AUTOMATIC FOOTBALL.
Actions Of One Player After . Kick In
the Head.

xn0 7080s
Speaking Of queer things in foot
ball." said an old player, Il recall a
game that was played at Annapolis
some years ago between Columbia and
the Naval academy teams.
Zone of the men on the Columbia
team. the quarterback and a very
prominent player of the year, started
the game in good condition, but after
part of the nrst half he was kicked in
the head In one scrimmage. 1t took
some time to get him around, but he
suddenly arose and gave signal. The
two teams lined up and play went
right on.
'This man went through the game
and no one noticed that anything was
wrong with him. When the game was
over and the Columbia team was on
the way back to New York in the train
this player, who had appeared to be in
a brown study, suddenly turned to the
man next to him and asked, Who won
the game-what was the score? and
a number Of other questions that made
it seem rs If he hadn't been anywhere
near the field Of play
'The players were greatly surprised
and thought perhaps the kick in the
head had hurt the man 50 that his
mind was affected. Later they learned
that he was unable to tell what hap
pened from the moment he got the
kick in the head until the time he re-
covered consciousness, 30 to speak, on
the train.
His playing of quarterback and his
giving of signals had been entirely au-
tomato, or, rather. subconscious. That
case was referred to frequently in the
psychology courses at Columbia. you
may well imagine. New York Sun.

Fosters Annuity Plan

Consul Frederick NJ. Ryder of Ri
mouslki furnishes the following infor-
nation concerning the annuities act
of 1908, inaugurated by the Canadian
government:
The measure originated with and
passed the senate and house of COM
mons, without a dissenting voice. An
nuities from $50 to $500 per year are
provided upon payment of stated sums
periodically or lump sum amounts. The
annuities are nonforfeitable, and can
not be seized for debts of any kind.
Premiums may be deposited in local
postoffices. and in case a beneficiary
should die before annuity becomes pay
able, all payments paid, with compound
interest at per cent added, will be
paid to heirs.
management and responsibility in con-
nection with the undertaking, without
charge or deductions of any kind.
appearance of becoming popular is
shown by the fact that the sale of
annuities during the seven months in
which these have been on sale has
totaled s205, 200, with the prospect of a
close of the first year. A pamphlet has
been issued by the superintendent of
Canadian government annuities, setting
forth the advantages to be reaped by
this method of government insurance.

COUNTRY

The foregoing table shows that the
United Kingdom and the United
States sustained the principal losses
occasioned by the decreased purchases
of New Zealand. The United States
is proportionately the greatest loser,
for while the value of imports from
the United Kingdom decreased a little
more than 10 per cent, those from
the United States fell off nearly As
per cent. This proportional difference
is attributable almost entirely to the
action of the preferential tariff.
The exports from New Zealand dur
ing the hrst quarter of 1909. s34171,-
81, was $3,39S, 161 in excess of the
exports for the first quarter of 1908
The value of the exports to the United
States during the first quarter of 1909
is given by the New Zealand customs
at s1,164,534. while the exports de-
clared for the United States at the
consulate general and agencies were
valued at 81 ,402.T67 for the same quar-
ter. The United Kingdom undoubtedly
gets credit in the customs for the
difference between these returns.

M0ngOlian Butter

Consul General Hunter Sharp of Mos
cow writes that Siberian butter now
has rival in Mongolian butter, con-
cerning which he says:
THE Mongolian butter is said to be
of excellent quality and is marketed
in Harbin, Manchuria, at 10 rubles
(s5.15) per pood Csc pounds, while
the Siberian butter costs IA rubles
(s7.21) per pood at the same place. In
preparing the butter the Mongols en-
ploy Russian experts and Chinese
workmen.
1.-The appearance of this butter on
the market is not altogether a novelty,
as a Hamburg firm about four years
ago began to make experimental pur-
chases, and negotiations were started
for delivering it in San Francisco. The
outbreak of the so-Japanese war
would naturally account for the inter,
ruption that ensued
There is. of course, no serious
danger as yet as regards the competi-
tion of Mongolian butter with that of
the United States. but nevertheless the
question seems worthy of attention.
On the east Siberian market at any
rate, owing to the abundance of la
Dor. land and cattle in Mongolia. it
may become a serious rival
