MAGIC IN RISE OF SHOP
Exports of Manufactures in 1908
Exceed Those in the Period
I79o=IS6o.
GAIN STEADY IN 100 YEARS.
Proportion of Total Foreign Trade
Now Over Thirty-seven
Per Cent.

The remarkable growth of manufac-
turing in this country is shown in
statement issued by the Bureau of Sta
tistics of the Department of Commerce
and Labor covering the exports of the
United States for 120 years. or from
1889 to the present fiscal year.
The value of manufactures exported
in the single year 1908 was thus great
er than that in all the seventy years
from 1890 to 1860.
The value of the manufactures ex-
ported since 1898 is as great as all
that exported in the 109 years prior
to that date, while the total for the
last twenty years is twice as great as
the total of the Immediately preceding
100 years.
Every part of the world, every grand
division, every county, every great
city has contributed to this growth
in the exports of American manufac
lures.
The table which follows shows the
total value of manufactures exported
from the United STATES by decennial
periods from 1890 to 1909.

so.
In the district in question a rumor
went forth that 2 car was coming,
and the authorities actually went to
the trouble of. issuing notices. which
were posted about far and wide, warn
ing all and sundry that such was the
case. Not only were the people eau
toned to give the car a wide berth,
but they were told to remove their
animals into safe quarters.
1t so happened that the car was
driven through a desolate land. much
to the amusement or wonder, one fan
cies, of its owner. All the people were
inside their houses. and all the cattle
had been driven into safe quarters for
the occasion.

Preliminary tests of the new marine
torpedo invented by NJ. CADET in Paris,
France have demonstrated it's marvel

Hertzian waves directed from the
shore. Out of the water the apparatus
looks like two torpedoes, one above tho
other. The upper one is merely the
floater, from which two masts are at
tached so as to extend above the sur
face and to catch the Hertzian waves.
The lower contains the motor battery
and the accumulation, with an explosive
charge of 1900 pounds weight as COM
pared with the ordinary torpedo charge
of 200 pounds weight. During the tests
in the Seine, CADET sat in motor boat

AcePS buSy by SeHu-
ing Them south in Winter.
A quaint method of working the
bees overtime was given by one of the
enthusiasts, who claims that the bees
really enjoy the busy life through
out the year, when they find themselves
where honey producing blossoms are
plentiful, the Indianapolis Star says.
My bees now work overtime" he
said. mo alternating for them. In
the spring | send them down south and
they toll like blazes among the south
ern flowers. In summer | bring them
here to the East, working them till
the honeysuckle and the clover are
quite gone. The autumn season finds
them in Florida, where they make a
peculiarly rich and aromatic honey
from the Florida flowers. California
gives them all they can do in the win
ter.
Its a splendid idea. l got it from
those hotel keepers of Europe, who
have winter hotels on the Riviera and
summer hotels in Dinard or Trouyille.
My travelling bees yield thrice as much
honey as stay-at-home ones. Thank
goodness, there are no labor unions
among these insects"
The beekeepers, who, on the other
hand, are content to have their bees
remain in the same place throughout
the year and work during the blossom
time of fruits, flowers, the barley and
clover and wayside flowers, were CON
suited as to the best methods of hous-
ing the bees during the winter

preferably long and narrow and but

quarters that they are strong and har-
dy and ready for work at the first pos

Pittsburg Heiress Plays Role of Real
Hobo After Quitting Home.

PittSburg Heiress Plays Role of Real
Hobo After Quitting Home.
Alienists who have been called into
consultation are unable 20 explain the
wanderlust that has obsessed Miss
Mary Patterson, a wealthy young So
ciety girl. She was taken into custody
at Waukesha, Wis. after period of
wandering since Thanksgiving day.
During her nine months absence the
girl, plentifully supplied with money
from her fathers estate, scorned the
comforts and the luxury of Pullman
and dining ears and chose the favored
abode of every real hobo-the box car,
well filled with damp excelsior, and a
handout whenever it could be pro
cured
There were no real home troubles
to explain her wanderings, the New
York Worlds Pittsburg correspondent
says. Mrs Mary Patterson, the girls
mother, is woman of wealth and I'M
questioned society position, as well as
being an indulgent parent The only
explanation the alienists have is that
the lure of the road called the girl and
she answered
The estate of her father was set
tied several days before Thanksgiving
day The girl was at her home the
morning of that day, but when she was
called to dinner there was no response.
She had departed for parts unknown.
For months no trace of the girl could
be discovered, although detective agen-
cies were employed in the case. Re
Gently, however, Mrs. Patterson receiv-
ed a long-distance call The voice of
her daughter could be plainly distin-
guished The girl sent her love to the
family, but refused to give them any
information as to her whereabouts. In
quiries at the telephone exchange
proved that the message came from
Chicago.
Then the girl appeared in Waukesha
and registered at the Springs City Ho-
tel as NJ. E. Graham of Clinton, Iowa.
The attention of the hotel attaches
was attracted to the young woman by
her peculiar actions, among them be-
ing propensity for sleeping on the
floor of her room and bringing up food
from the dining hall to eat cold
When the police were notified Miss
Patterson disappeared. Search by the
authorities was instituted, ard the girl
was found proving about the Milwau-
kee yards seeking a convenient box
car. She was taken in custody and
imprisoned in the home of the sheriff
Miss Patterson was indignant and
demanded her release. Later she at
tempted to escape Asked as to her
identity and residence, she refused to
make any statement, but during the
questioning mentioned the name of DR..
Seip of Pittsburg. Through him her
mother was notified. Force was nee
essary to compel her return to Pitts
burg.
