RECIPROCITY
WITH NEWFOUNDLAND,
Secretary Knox to Await Cana
dian Treaty'S Fate.

WASHINGTON. May 1o.-secretary
Knox while ready to enter into nego-
tiations with Newfoundland for a reci-
procity arrangement upon lines similar
to the measure now pending before
Congress, has decided to await the ac-
ton of Congress on the Canadian bill
before proceeding with what would be
a useless task in the event that the
Canadian arrangement falls.
Newfoundland has little to offer as
a basis for exchange besides her mar
kets and a free fishing privilege, but
it is believed that the consideration
would be sufficient providing the New
foundlanders were willing to remove
existing export restrictions on pulp
wood and pulp, which we're imposed
with a view to inducing American
paper makers to erect their mills in
Newfoundland.

A set of volumes which would fill
DR.. Elliot's flye-foot shelf would be
necessary to enumerate the number of
reforms, changes and other matters
promoted by the board since its or
ganization. But the most recent one
and that which Is likely to be Of more
interest because its consummation was
practically brought about yesterday is
the removal of the bar at Point No
point. A government engineer all but
promised that the bar in the Passaic
River, which has been a detriment to
navigation in that stream, will be re-
moved at on expense to Newark. 1t
was the influence of the Board Of
Trade which stopped the Rivers and
Harbors act as 1t was passing
through the last session of Congress
long enough to insert an amendment
providing that the government should
make the improvements in the water
ways as recommended TO the War De-
partment.

undoubtedly result in saving Newark

King Cotton's Record.

The highest record ever made in the
export of raw cotton from the United
States was achieved in 1910 when
$3.50. 100000 worth of the product was
sent to foreign lands. This new record
exceeded by more than SEQ, 000,00 the
previous year in the value of cotton
exported. according to the bureau OF
Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
The quantity exported. however, was
materially less than in certain earlier
years, having been but 3,641, 000, 00C
pounds. against 4.374,000, 900 in 1905
when the value was but $439 600, 600
The average export price in 1910 was
14l. cents per pound. against practi
cally 10 cents in 1908. the high record
year for quantity, the average export
price in 1910 having been higher than
in any year since 1874. December, 1910
also shows the highest monthly record,
the total value of cotton exports in
that month being, in round terms,
$4,000, 900. sFhile no earlier month ever
reached tho 800. 600. 600 line. The aver

state shows, will be in competition for
the valuable National trophies. More
than So states will have competitive
exhibits. Twenty-Five state agricul-

will have scientific exhibits, each
perimental work.
Important among the many meetings
exhibits and other special features OF
this greatest OF agricultural exposi-

RESINS.

Resins, compounds of carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen that either occur naturally
in exudationS from trees or are produced
ny the oxidation of carbon compounds
such as the terpenes. They are non
crystalline solids with Il vitreous frac-
ture and are insolubie in water, but dis
solve in oil of turpentine and alcohol,
though in the case of the fossil resins
solution does not take place till after
heating. Resins dissolve readily IN aka
lis, forming salts OF soaplike nature,
with the complicated acids of which the
resins are composed. They decompose
on strong heating, giving off intiammafle
gases ana oils. When heated with zinc
dust. they yield aromatic hydrocarbons;
when fused with caustic potash. hydroNy
benzenes, such as resorcin and phloro-
glueinol.
Resins are, as a rule found in nature
as baisams, i e., mixed with terpenes or
essential oils. from which they can be
separated by distillation. as in the case
of common turpentine; or they occur as
gum resins, like gamboge or asafoetida,
in which they are mixed with vegetable
gums They arec hefiy emplowed in var
gums. They are chiefly employed in var

Editorial Comment
Our Governor.

(ArOoStook TlmeS.)
Governor Fernald has retired and
Gov. Plaisted is now our executive
at Augusta. The retiring governor
goes out of office secure in the re-
spect and esteem of the people and
with the consciousness OF duty done.
In his exactng office he has worked
long and hard in the interests of the
people as he saw them, and he has
nothing to regret. He has engaged
in no angry denominations. To the
voice of political detraction he has
made no reply. In vindication of
his executive acts he has relied on
the logic of facts and the approval
of conscience and the people. AS
chief magistrate of the State he has
ever been kindly and courteous
gentleman. democratic and access
sible to all. He has promoted pro-
gressive and far sighted policies of
great value to the State, especially
the conservation of the water powers
and other natural resources, tax re-
form. the encouragement of agri-
culture, more liberal support of the
schools and of State institutions,
and the better care OF the unfortu-
nate classes. He has done good
service for the State. and he de-
served collection. 1t has been his
i'll fortune to be misunderstood by
some and misrepresented by others
and to be caught by one of those po-
litico- sentimental storms that sweep
the country occasionally and strike
down whoever stands in their way.
He retires in a good and large COM
pany.
The worst thing about Governor
Plaisted-indeed the emily bad quail
ity in Sights his politics. Per-
sonally he is a mighty good fellow.
genial and likeable, as all testify
who know him in wide circle of
acquaintance. and in the offices he
has held he has shown qualities in
dicating him equal to larger respon-
sibilites. He has a record to make.
He has undertaken heavy and re-
sponsible task, though lighter than
the one imposed on Governor Fer
maid, who has met many of the de-
mands and solved some of the more
serious problems which will not have
to be met and solved-by the new ad-
ministration. In wishing success to
Governor PlaiSted's administration
there will be general assent, for in
spite of party divisions We are all
citizens of the common State and all
interested in common in its welfare

Amber, fossil resin arises from the
emulation of coniferous trees, as is shown
by its composition and physical proper
ties, by its occurring in drops and globu-
lar masses which resemble the resin seen
exuding from the bark of pine trees, and
by its common association with fossil
wood Amber is of a clear brownish yell
low color. varying in shade, and is often
clouded with irregular streaks. 1t is
usually transparent. brittle, with a hard
ness of only . to 2l2, and low SPECIFIC
gravity Il. TO Id. 1t burns readily, CIV
ing off dense fumes. When rubbed il Is
negatively electrified, and from this prop
ertv which was we'll known to the an
cients the word electricity has been
derived (Gr elektron, amber9. 1t is SOL
uble in alcohol, and forms the basis OF
certain varnishes When distilled it
yields succinic acid and fine lamp-black
1t is used chiefly in the manufacture OF
mouth-pieces for pipes and cigar holders,
beads, necklaces, etc. Amber ornaments
which have been worn for a considerable
time gradually assume rich, dark, rud-
dy color. which is much priced.
Much of the amber of commerce is arti-
and turpentne. or is prepared from chips
of natural amber fused under pressure.
Amber is found in small quantities in
Catania, Galicia, and other parts of the
world but the principal source has al
ways been the shores of the Baltic,
between Frisches Half and the Kurisches
Half in f. Prussia, also on the shores OF
Pomerania, w. Prussia, Schleswig Hol-
stein, and Denmark. 1t occurs in certain
dark sands and clays. from which it is
washed out by the action of the sea.
Natural amber usually contains flaws
and impurities. Fragments of bark,
leaves, ants, flies, etc, which adhered To
the sticky surface and were enveloped by
the emulation, are the most frequent en-
closures. Amber was we'll known t. the
Romans. and is described by Pliny. Be
tween 1887 and 1899 it was partly mined.
partly gathered after storms by private
monopolists but in the last mentioned
year the mines were bought by the Prus-
sian government
