To investigate the agriculture Of an
cient Palestine with view to finding
plants that will resist drought in the
United States an American company
capitalized at $4,000 is being formed

FamouS aeronaut and inventor.
We are Of the opinion that the new
year will see much progress in aero
nautics not only in America, but in all
the civilized nations that have taken
up the art Of flying. Better motors.
greater speed and improvement in de-
tails are some Of the things we expect
in connection with the aeroplane. 1t
is almost certain also that flying will
be taken up by amateurs to great
extent during the next few months.
Two big events that will arouse world
wide interest will be held in America
namely, the Gordon Bennett interna-
tional balloon race and the Gordon
Bennett flying machine cup event.
Both Of these will add much zeal to
the flying business and are sure to put
aeronautics on stronger basis in the
United States.
My brother and l will probably be
busy manufacturing aeroplanes in
1910. We expect to do little If any
flying ourselves and will devote what
time we have to the scientific end Of
the business in the hope Of bringing
our machine to greater perfection. One
other thing that we expect to do in the
new year is to build some racing ma
chimes. We have never built q ma
chine especially for speed. The one
Ne built for the United States govern
ment was faster than our others. but
it was not designed for speed as much
as for capacity and long distance fly
ing. But our intentions are to build
a machine especially designed for rae
ing.

Chief signal officer Of L. s. army.
The new year should be signalized
by the perfection Of the inventions and
discoveries which have so far added
to the worlds material and moral adj
vancement. One of the possibilities
of the near future is that the peace of
the world may have to be preserved
by the best aerial navy.

Ely MRS. o. RI. p. BELMONT,

Prominent woman suffrage leader.
AS the old year died some of the
traditions that women have chung to
died with it. A new awakening has
come with the new year. This en-
lightenment will make slow but grad
ual progress with the women of the
nation.
The more fortunate woman has
awakened to the fact of her obligation
to the self supporting woman not only
in the way of charity, but in methods
that do away with the necessity of
charity. The woman who has every
thing Is beginning to realize that she
has it in her power to enforce condi-
lions wherein women less fortunate
may benefit by her influence. The wo-
man suffrage movement is producing
this effect. The anti-women, who are
unable to appreciate this, are still sat
isfied with the subordinate position of
the sex in general-praiseworth per-
haps, in some respects, but far from
an elevated standard.
If the suffrage bill, as now promises,
shall pass the legislature l should say,
as the greatest boon of 1910, that the
wise men of the United States have at
last realized their inability to stand
alone in the government of the country
and that the extended help Of the wise
women Is grateful to them.

To her two listeners an abyss seems
opening at their feet To economic,
they leave the pension where they
first took quarters, and rent furnished
rooms yet more modest; there they
set up housekeeping in a way that, at
home, would have been looked on
as pitiable.
The days of waiting are sad enough

ened life hopes that grown to mean
her reason for existence, and for
the mother because she bears her

LONELINESS.

Loneliness, bigger than ever, set
ties down in the mothers heart; If
the daughter would master French,
so all-important, she must be with
native friends wherever she may find
them. AS chaperon she lives an end
less routine of hurrying from one
fount of knowledge to another, or
listens at home to meaningless splut-
terings, of which she grasps only a
word here and there, so says William
Armstrong, in Success Magazine.
Presently there is a ruction. The
girl who will succeed Patti has been
listened to by great singer to whom
she had letters, and told that she is
being taught wrongly. To mother
and daughter this news comes as a
shock; in Paris, they had fancied, all
teachers must be supremely excellent.
For year after this awakening
things are Kaleidoscope; one singing
teacher follows another until six have
been tried and found wanting. Some
times the change is made on the ad-
vice of friends; again, the girl her.
self takes the initiative.
The seventh singing teacher, who
should properly have been the first,
is finally consulted. She has trained
many singers recognized in America
as really great. Her voice is frankly
plain: @Your voice is in such bad
condition from wrong teaching that
now I can do nothing for you. Stop
singing entirely for six months. then

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
BUSINESS EXHIBITS DuLLNEss
Buyers Are Numerous, but Conserva~
tive, Says Bradstreets In Dis
cusslng Condition.

"Trade still maintains the quiet
undertone previously noted and not
unusual at this season of the year,
when buyers are gathering at leading
markets in preparation for the open
ing of the spring campaign. Reports
of buyers being numerous, but or
buying being conservative, come large
ly from the leading Northern and Gen.
trail Western markets, prominent In
this respect being New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago. In the
Northwest, Southwest, the South and
on the Pacific coast, reports are still
highly optimistic and liberal buying
for spring Is noted.
Among the leading industries, ID
might be noted that iron and steel are
quieter; that there is weakness in pig
iron, and that high prices of some
kinds of cotton goods repress dealings.
In other lines of cottons, however, and
in woolen goods there Is good move
ment.
In the lumber trade for export,
Southern reports are of unsatisfactory
conditions, but from the Pacific coast
lumber trade come reports of business
being the best since 1907. Good re-
ports as to the shoe trade and that in
rubber goods come from the West gen.
orally.
Fears of a coal strike In the bitum-
inous regions have led to buying by
railroads and manufacturers. Re-
preston Of railway buying of material
is reported, based on desire to see
the course of legislation at Washing
ton. The January movement Of
prices of commodities fails to show
much effect of the agitation for lower
prices Of meats.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Feb
ruary 10 were 249, against 232 last
week, 211 in the like week of 1909,
S26 in 1908, 2O4 in 1907 and 20S in
1908. Business failures in Canada,
for the week, numbered 80, which
compares with 30 last week and 20
for the same week last year.
