any more honey; they had quit work.
"Those bees found out that there was
no winter coming. They had found out
that these flowers bloom all the time
and that it was foolishness and a
waste of time to work. When they
wanted any honey for appetite use they
lit on a flower and got it. Why, those
bees quit coming home at night. In
stead of coming home to the hive as all
proper bees do about shutdown, they
would roost on a limb anywhere they
happened to be and set there all night

made no more honey They quit. And

day. This shade prevented and I'M

the sea breeze blew in on the land. At
night the flower perfumed. scent laden

This grove was a great shade belt

quite a colony of Indians living in this
grove. No one worked. They didn't
need to. They had hogs that fattened
on roots and fallen fruit. They had
chickens, turkeys, cocoanuts. bread
fruit, bananas, vans and oranges, and
many other fruits and edible plants:
also the chocolate bean, coffee and to-

Fish were abundant. And when they
wanted other meats the men would go
to the sea beach at night, where the
sea turtles come to lay their eggs. and
turn several of these monsters over on
their backs. Some of these turtles
weigh 500 pounds. When on their

can manufacturers were exported to
Germany during the decade ending
with the fiscal year 1909. This state
ment is the result of a careful analysis
just made by the bureau of statistics,
of the department of commerce and
labor. of the trade of the United States
with Germany during the decade end
ing with 1908: and while that analysis
does not include figures for 1909 the
available information regarding that
years trade is sufficient to Justify the
above statement
The term manufactures" includes
the two groups under which the bu-
reau of statistics classifes all pro-
ducts of American factories, Manu-
features ready for consumption" and
Manufactures for further use in
manufacturing" OF manufactures
ready for consumption the total value
exported to Germany in the decade
ending June 80, 1908, was over $24O,-
100000, while of manufactures for
further use in manufacturing in value
over 20,000,OO0, making for the dec
ade ending with 1908 a little less than
$500 900, 900.
AS the addition Of the year 1909 to
the decade would substitute its figures
for those of 1899, in which the total
of both groups of manufacturers sent
to Germany was but $4,000 00O
While those of 1908 were S65, 900, 600,
it may be assumed that elimination
from the decade of 1899 and the sub
stitution Of 1909 will give a total suffi-
cient to justify the above assertion
that the value of manufactures export
ed from the United States to Germany
in the decade ending June 80 1909,
aggregates in round terms $500 0OO,-
600
Steady Growth of Exports.
That there has been a steady
growth in the exports of manufactures
to Germany is evident from the figures
already quoted. The total, including
both groups, in 1899 was $4,000, 900,
in 1908. $65,OOO,OO0, an increase of
over 80 per cent in the decade. Mean
time the exports of other merchandise
to Germany have grown from $117, 000,
900 in 1899 to s209, 100000 in 1908, an
increase of 70 per cent-the growth in
manufactures having thus been great
er proportionately than that in the
other groups.
Manufacturers materials show an
even larger proportionate growth,
from $57.O0O,0OO in 1899 to $148,000.-
900 in 1908: foodstuffs, which amount
ed to SIS 900 in 1899, were but $780,
900, 900 in 1908. thus showing a very
slight increase; manufactures, as al
ready shown, increased from $4,000
900 to $65,00O,0O0.

GERMANS BUY MUCH
FROM THE YANKEES

The articles forming two groups,
manufactures ready for consump-
tion," and manufactures for further
use in manufacturing both of which
groups show a remarkable growth dur
ing the decade, are especially interest
ing; for as already indicated, more
than quarter of billion dollars
worth of finished manufacturers have
been sent from the United States to
Germany during the decade, and near
ly a quarter of a billion dollars worth
manufacturing.
This growth in expectation of man
ufactures to Germany, while especially
notable by reason of the analysis just
prepared by the bureau of statistics,
merely parallels the general growth in
exports of manufactures from the
United States to Europe as whole.
The bureau of statistics figures show
that the value Of finished manufactures
exported to all Europe in 1895 was
$62, 500, 900, and in 1908, $4,000 OO0
an increase of nearly 200 per cent in
that time.
The growth in the group of manu-
features for further use in manufac-
turing was even greater, the total
value of articles in this group sent to
all Europe in 1895 having been in the
round terms. $49,OJO,OOO, and in 1908,
$194,OOGOOO, having thus practically
quadrupled in the period under dis
cussion. Combining the two groups
manufactures ready for consumption
and manufacturing the total value ex-
ported to all Europe in 1895 was $111,-
100000, and in 1908 s367,50O.OOO, an in
crease of a little over 23O per cent.
Meantime the exports of all articles
other than manufactures to Europe
grew from $500, 900, 900 in 1895 to $780,
900, 900 in 1908, making the increase in
exports to Europe of articles other
than manufacturers during that period

ures was, as above indicated, 23O per
