Hong Kong has averaged about si25,001
gold per annum. About one-fourth of
this quantity went to the United States.
The ginger root is not exported from
China in material amounts except in the
form of preserved or candied root
known. respectively, as '.in sirup'' or
dry ginger" The preserved form in
cludes not only ginger itself, which has
been peeled. boiled and preserved in
sugar strip exactly as fruit is preserved
in the average household in the United
States, bun also mixed preserves of gin
ger. kumquats (tny oranges), melon
rind and the like, which are prepared in
substantially the same manner ordinary
fruit preserves are prepared in the
United States.
DRY" or candied ginger is merely the
root which resembles a small, some
what gnarled sweet potato In appear
ance. prepared by being peeled and pre-
served in strong sirup and then dried in
the sun. OF the goods exported from
Hong Kong, both in strip and as dry
ginger, two general grades are known
in the trade-"stem' ginger and "cargo"
ginger. The former grade is young and
tender root, free from fibers, and which
is not so hot, the cargo grade is
the ordinary run of ginger, the older,
tougher roots. stringy in quality, hot in
flavor and otherwise not of the better
grade
The ginger in strip is packed in jars
made by the Chinese especially Tor the
purpose In sizes which contain one to
five pounds when packed commercially,
though ginger Is sometimes packed in
larger fancy jars for use as gifts among
the Chinese the usual form having given
the name of ginger jar to covered
vaselike jar well known to collectors of
Chinese porcelain. The jars packed COM
mercially are generally shipped in cases
of six five-pound jars, II two-pound jars,
or "a one pound jars. Considerable guam
titles of ginger in strip are now being
shipped in tins The dry or candied stem
or high grade ginger is generalfx packed
in tins and then cased The dry cargo
grade is generally packed without tin
ming in close cases containing half pi-
cul or sc 2-s pounds. The export trade
in Hong Kong generally recognizes three
brands of both the stem and the cargo
root known. respeetiYelys as s.chy

Fire in the Garage

Where scores of cars are
stored every day-where the
very air reeks of the odor of
gasoline-there is constant
danger Of fire.
1t Is obvious, therefore, that
every garage should be equip
ped to meet an emergency
that is constantly dreaded.
Every garage should be pro-
yided with PYRENE Fire
Extinguishers, which will kill
any incipient fires even if their
origin be IN gasoline or oil.
soaked substances.
PYRENE Extinguishers are
compact and convenient.
They are filled with a combin-
alton Of powerful gases in
liquid form, which when SUBJ
jected to a temperature of 200
degrees or over, is instantly
transformed into heavy, dry,
cohering, non-poisonous gas
blanket. This simply sepa-
rates the flames from the burn
ing substance by LIFTING
OFF THE FLAMES. PY-

FILTERED WATER FOR ARMY.
Machine Which Can Deliver Thousand
Gallons Per Hour.

The Spanish American war proved,
as former wars have done. that ty-
phoid and kindred diseases are more
destructive to human life than shot or
shell. The campaign in the Philippines
was one against disease rather than
against the natives. for these were
easily conquered. The Italian army IN
Tripoli finds the same conditions ex-
listing there as do the English in India.
Strict hygienic regulations are counted
today among the most important re-
quirements of the army in the field
the world over, but they are often inn
possible of execution. Lives and for
tunes have been spent in the solution
of the drinking water question-vone OF
the gravest the army has to deal with
but it appears to have remained for
the advent of the motor car TO max
it possible for an army to be able TO go
anywhere where water exists ana 70
have pure water To drink, no matter
what the source. What has been need
ed was practical means OF removing
all suspended matter, including bacte-
ria and colloids, from the water ordi-
narily found in public streams for inn
mediate consumption. and this, 1t is
claimed, has been done by the inven-
ton of the new army filter.
This new apparatus is mounted on a.
one-ton chassis and its operation is
simple requiring no more skill than
the driving of an automobile. Five
minutes after the command is given,
the machine being near the stream
there can be delivered from 500 to 1,0O6
gallons of pure filtered water an hour
from any convenient number of sprock-
cts. A master sprocket controls the
pump. which is connected with the en-
CINE of the car and requires a half
horse power to operate. The filter is
eleansed by reversing the flow and i
sterilized by lime water. The water is
drawn up through series of filters,
means being provided for the deposits
