Brazilian Iron Ore

Consul General Anderson of Rio de

gathered by the Brazilian government
concerning iron ore deposits in the re-
public. The examination of the de-
posits in Minas Geraes located 81 out

FREEZING FLOWERS.

From Harper's Weekly.
The latest and most approved method Of
preserving flowers during transportation
is that of freezing them. When this
porcess is employed the flowers are picked
while in the bud and will keep perfectly
for several weeks in refrigerator boxes.
No deterioration In their beauty results
from this treatment. and after they have
been unpacked and placed in water they
slewly revive and the blossoms develop
fully. During the period of refrigera-
ton all growth Is suspended and so slow
ly do the flowers return TO their natural
state that such blossoms will last much
longer in room than would be the case
had they been brought directly from
the greenhouse or the garden.
The facility with which horticultural
specimens have been transported by this
new method has led to experiments in
south Africa, with view to determin-
ing whether many Of their wonderful
flowers may not be safely exported in
bulk to supply the trade in Europe and
America. 1t is exceedingly probable that
in the near future we may see offered
for sale at apparently ridiculously low
prices such an unfamiliar plant as the
gorgeous iris, which grows wild In great
profusion throughout south Africa.

NOYember'S Biennial Elections Vote

Last November Alabama cast 103,399
votes for presidential candidates. The
average vote of the state since the
adoption of the constitution in 1901
has been just about 100000.
But although 103,399 men went to
the polls last November only 1885
voted in favor of biennial sessions,
while 45,794 voted for the good roads
amendment, and 40,385 voted for the
new counties amendment. 1t is idle to
say that there has been revolution in
public sentiment on the subject of BIZ
ennial sessions in eight months! The
only man who has heard of any such
revolution is the Governor of the state,
and he Is considered too willing alto
gether to hear accurately the ground
rumblings of the state.
Outof 103,399 men who went to the
polls last November, only 27,915 with
pencil in hand felt the need of biennial
sessions. AS things stand we have had
four sessions in two years and half,
and this of itself will be apt to keep
the voter from voting for more ses-
sions.
The judgment of the voters should
be respected at least longer than eight
months. A Judgment at the polls is
not thing to be lightly treated or con-
sidered The quadrennial provision in
the constitution Of 1901 may have been
a mistake, although it worked salts
factorily in Governor Jelks' admins
tration, but in the present administra-
ton 1t has led chiefly to extra sessions.
The voters will be very apt to stand
by their decision made in November
last

Decreased Balance Of Trade

In recent months exports of this
country have exceeded its imports by
at least $40, 900, 000 but in the month
of June the excess of imports foots up
$7,15S,104. Possibly this result would
not have occurred had imports not
been swelled by the pending tariff bill.
The importers know better than any
one else when duties are raised and
when they are lowered, and they have
anticipated revision upward by filling
the country with goods. This glut will
be felt in the present fiscal year. The
experience of 1897, when the Dingley
bill became law, bids fair to be repeat
ed, for the Aldrich- Cannon bill is large
ly made up of upward rates.
We exported in the last fiscal year
more mineral oils, but less breadstuffs,
meats and cotton, while imports were
increased 10 per cent. The largest de-
crease was In breadstuffs, the wheat
exports falling off heavily. In 1908 we
exported over 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat, but in the last fiscal year we
had but $4,000 900 bushels of wheat to
export. We sent away more bales of
cotton, but lower values resulted in
loss in the years aggregate.
In word, the balance of trade on
July 1, 1908, stood at $3.50, 431, 554, and
on July /, 1909, it was but 1851, 1888.
The loss was nearly so per cent. What
the true balance of trade is no one
can say, but loss of over $500, 100000
is sure to be felt in various directions,
especially in the export of gold. The
excess of exports in the last fiscal year
will not meet all we have to pay to
ship owners, bankers and insurance
companies, besides the money that our
globe trotters spend.

sermons were ever so. It is small won
der that the members of his congrega-
ton in Augusta were SO distressed at
his departure. The Christian Observer, a
Presbyterian family paper, contains a
very interesting account of the incidents
attending the announcement to his flock
of his acceptance of the call from the
Highlands church of this city. A COM
mittee composed of members of his con-
gregation called upon him and begged
him almost in tears to reconsider. Dr..
Plunket had held the pulpit of the First
Presbyterian church of Augusta for many
years, and the news of his intended de-
parture came like thunderbolt from a
clear sky. The scene that was enact
ed in his home was a touching one when
the ladies of his congregation came forth
to use their feminine powers of persua-
sion. Hands clasped those of the be-
loved minister and distressed feminine
voices cried, oh, Doctor Plunket, you
