IMPORTS FROM THE TROPICS
Approximate 100000 for Every
Business Day of the Year.

The growing dependence of the United
States upon the tropical and subtropical
world for its food and for its manufac-
turers' materials is illustrated by some
figures just made public in the annual
report of the chief of the bureau of sta
Iistics.
Practically $60o.0tO coo worth of tropical
and subtropical products now come into
this country yearly, against 100000
600 worth in 1875. and about $500 600 600
in 1895. according 10 the report These
imported tropical products would approx
mate practically 81 600 600 for every bust
ness day of the Year and form about one
half OF the total imports of the country.
Most of this large and growing supply
of tropical and subtropical material
comes, says the report. from sections to
which exports from the United States arc
comparatively small.

OF statesmen phianthropists and labor
leaders who will gather here January u

One of the features of the meeting will

to protect children should take into ac-

no child who is not physically developed
should be permitted to work, even il it
has reached the age limit set by law.

This advantage OF feeding, however, ap-

brought the grateful information that
while the islands had experienced the
earthquake only d few buildings have
been demolished and that no lives were

section, after Messina and Reggie, suf-
fered more heavily than any other. The

The catastrophe, indeed. is a scourge
from God. The time has come when IL is
no longer possible to think about those
buried beneath the ruins. All hope OF

How United Effort of a Towns So

the purpose, the enthusiasm and the
intelligent work for local bcttermcnt
that count. 1t should include business
and professional men and all others in

The many services it can render are

effort for town progress all citizens
are Interested. These results can best
be brought about through united and

Not only commercial bodies, but Sc

even schools, can assist powerfully in
the work. But the board of trade or
similar body under whatever name
called must take the lead and set the
pace. Such an organization, holding
regular weekly, scmiwcckly or month

look after different departments of the
work, will find innumcrabc ways to

above all, local spirit can be kept alive

BUILDING OF BRIDGES.
Utility Should Go Hand In Hand With
Beauty In Public Structures.

In the designing and building of
bridges art and utility should go hand
in hand, more especially if they are
public structures used and viewed by
great numbers of people each day in
the year. \ large bridge may be made
just as beautiful or as unbcautiful as
may city halls courthouScs and other
prominent public ediliccs. With all
the possibilities in this direction,
bridges of the present often appear a
combination of strength and uglincss.
In the making of the city or town
beautiful an art commission is needed
that will not only watch over the de
signing and construction of city hall
and library, but pay equal attention to
city and town bridges.
1t often occurs that public bridge
provides an advantageous viewpoint
where great natural beauty may be
presented in a more impressive outlook

tion. In such places man has no moral

necessity. \ machinist authority
points out that for such purposes as
timing hardening and tempering heats
