GREAT BUSINESS OF STORAGE.
Depression Doesn't Affect This In
dustry at All UnfavorabIy.

Depression Doesn't Affect This In
dustry at All UnfavorabIy.
The storage is an important adjunct
Of the shipping business. In this city
and vicinity there are four big storage
plants with railroad connections. Two
OF them are in Brooklyn, another is on
Staten Island and the fourth at Com
munipaw, Gu the Jersey side of the
Hudson River Besides those there are
great many bonded and free ware
houses without pier and railroad con-
nections in different parts of the bor-
ough of Manhattan, says the New York
Sun.
Bonded warehouses are for the stor-
age of dutiable goods landed in bond
to be held until the consignees find it
convenient to pay the duty and take
them out. The convenience to mer-
chants Of leaving imported goods In
bond until they can be disposed of In
the ordinary course of trade is mani
fest. But many merchants also get
large consignments of undutiable goods
which their private storage facilities
cannot accommodate, hence the exist
ence of free-storage warehouses.
However, the two branches of the
business are not entirely separate, for
all the big companies and many of the
smaller isolated warehouses store
bonded and free goods. Free goods. 1t
should be borne in mind, may be either
domestic or foreign. for many import
ed commodities are free of duty.
The beginning of the storage bust
ness was contemoraneous with the rise
Of New York in Importance as a COM
me-cial center. Its growth In the last
half-century has been enormous, but
the development of the big plants re-
ferred to has been comparatively re-
cent. A notable popularity Of the busl-
ness is that it does net Immediately
feel the effects Of Industrial depres-
sion.
On the contrary, 1t is ma terially
benefited for time by a decline Of
general business When a merchant
carrying large lines of goods finds the
tudIhcL lOI IuCni ldlilHS Oh AC SCn-k-
ally sends them to storage warehouses
for safekeeping until the market inn
proves. For this reason the storage
business suffered less than any other
during the recent extraordinary period
Of general stagnation. AS matter Of
fact the storage business was better in
1908 than In 1907, SO it enjoys o
unique distinction.
1t would be a mistake, however, to
infer that the business suffers In good
times. In good business year the
volume of merchandise coming to this
port from all parts OF the world is
much greater than In bad business
year, and consequently the aggregate
placed in storage is larger, but the
length OF time the goods are held in
storage liz shorter. In q bad business
year the aggregate of receipts is rela-
lively smaller, but the period Of stor-
age is longer.
The inference Is inevitable, there
fore, that the storage business is q
| good thing at all times Perhaps stor-
age men as whole may not be willing
| to concur with this statement, but
| there are the facts.

A planet Reyond Neptup..

When word came from the observatory
at South Kensington, England, last week
that Prof. Pickering of Harvard had dis
covered new major planet moving IL an
orbit beyond that of Neptune it was pop
ularly understood that the discovery was
based upon Photographic evidence. Such
a discovery, however, was promptly denied
by Pickering. No eye and no telescope
has yet seen the new planet, but it is not
denied that its existence has been proved
by Prof. Pickering. He has calculated
its orbit so as to be able to indicate its
position this year, and its influence upon
the orbit of Neptune, which is very slight.
This shows that the new planet is rela-
lively small. 1t was the slight wabbling
of Neptune that led to the discovery of
the new body. This fact had been the
subject of study among astronomers for
years. The discovery of Neptune was
made in this same manner, in 1916. New
ertheless some of the authorities are skep-
teal about the value of Prof Pickering's
discovery.

Or. Edward Z. Devine, secretary of

ease, which is essentially economic, will
continue among us until workingmen will
be able to have a reasonable amount of
light and air in their homes, until they
are able to restrict the household to its
natural members, to withhold children
from gainful occupations until they are
able to take a reasonable amount OF rec
reation and enjoy their holidays. 1t will
continue until men are able to work with
out overwork, and to consult a dentist
or a physician or specialist when neces-
sary and to have an income necessary
to provide for all these things. as every
workingman in America should have and

Pygmies Found I'm Chinn.

DIR. William K. Cell, the noted explGr-
er. who arrived at New York from an
extended journey into the Northern
mountains of China and returned TO his
home in Doylestown, Pa. tells of having
mapped 200 miles of the great wall Of
China never before explored and says
he confirmed the tradition of race of
hairy pygmies in those regions. Since
1901 DIR. Cell has been travelling to
study the various primitive races now
accessible, penetrating the pygmy forests
of Central Africa as we'll as the remote
section of China. His party of twenty
five men with pack mules started, in
May, 1908, along the eastern section of
the great wall, and by September got
to the northern end of the wall at Khan
Ku Yian, north Of the Nan Shan noun.
tains, distance of 1900 miles, This
took the explorers into Thibet The
legend interpreted from inscriptions OF
the wall is to the effect that the pygmies
came from group of people who re-
belled from the horrors of being buried
alive for mistakes on the work of con-
struction, that being the penalty imposed.
The descendants were located by Cell far
in the interior and he left man TO study
them. He says they live like animals.
