does not appear to accord with facts.
Here, for example, are some fig.
ures of food prices in England, which
are given by an officer of the c. "copper"
ative Wholesale Society. and which
show the ruling prices of staple gro
ceries i'm 1898, 1906, 1908 and 1910.
The prices are wholesale and mostly
at port From them we perceive that
the price of bacon am hams was only
1850 a pound in 1898, that it rose to
sod in 1906, and that it was $50
in 1910. Butter has risen less, but
whereas it was 11.35d in 1898 it was
12.S7d last year. Cheese similarly has
risen from 524d 556d, and lard
from 3.24d to 6.S3d Sugar was only
4.49d in 1898; in 1901 the duty upon
it was fixed at As I'd, and the price
rose in 1906 to 1.S3d; in 1908 the duty
was reduced to only Is 1Od, but the
price rose to 1.S6d in that year and
to 2.O3d in 1910, presenting the inter
esting spectacle of increasing prices
under decreasing duties. Tea was
1617d in 1898 under a 4d duty. The
duty was raised to Cd in 1900, with
the result that the price fell to 15.42d
in 1906; then in The latter year it was
reduced to sd, with the result that the
price rose to 15.65d N 1908, falling

off to 15.45d in 1910. Flour and mea,
1910 were both little lower than I'M
1898, but both rose from 1906 to 1908,
-four from 1.O9d to 1.29d, and meal
from 11Sd to 1880.

63.S5d in 1898; that it rose 5.37 per
cent to 67.2Sd in 1906; that in the
next two years it rose to 7O.21d, and
that in 1910 it was 72.3Sd, or 1896
per cent more than in 1898, twelve
years before. These figures certainly
do not give much support to the pre-
tense that a protective tariff is the

or that free trade means cheap food

ed that the average weekly earnings

They Can Be Focused With Lens
just as Light Can.
Few people are aware that sound
can be focused just as light can, All
are familiar with the burning glass OF
reading lens which. If placed in a
beam Of sunlight. will focus the rays
into a small! point which is so hot as
to be able to set fire to a piece Of
paper. Light is wave in the ether
but sound is wave in d material
medium. generally the air.
If we make convex lens out Of
rubber or collodion and fill it with gas
heavier than air, say carbon dioxid,
we shall have a sound lens analogous
in nearly all respects to a glass lens
for light. 1t will be found that we can
focus sound waves in the following
manner:
Take a watch and place it some feet
away from one side Of the lens and
put your ear on line with the watch
and the center Of the lens. but on the
other side. and move outward from the
lens. While moving out you cannot
hear the watch until you get to a GER
tain point where the waves are 70
cused, at which place you will hear it
plainly. This is called the conjugate
focus of the watch.-New York Trib-
