BRIEF NOTES OF FINANCE
Paragraphs of Current interest
for the Investor.

Germany is making a study Of the rea-
sons for high meat prices, and one OF the
deductions is that inland production is
insufficient to cover the demand. How
ever, the German production has kept
pace with the increase, but not with the
demand, Of the population, as the German
to-day eats more meat than formerly.
Forty years ago. for instance the con-
sumption Of meat in Germany averaged
IS pounds per capita, but to-day II
amounts to 1l9 pounds. Even with this
increase the Germans are producing about
96 per cent OF the total consumption, ieev-
ing about per cent TO be imported.
Other causes for the increase In price are
that wages OF farm laborers are higher,
the cost Of meat inspection has added TO
the expense and tho erection Of slaughter
houses and other costs attendant upon
the modern furnishing OF meat shops have
contributed 10 the causes for higher

Agriculture in Russia.

The exports Of agricultural implements
10 Russia I'm the fiscal year OF 1918 by the
United States exceed those TO any other
country About 100000 worth OF agri-
cultural implements were sent TO Russia
from this country az against SiW,OW
worth 10 Canada, $4,000 TO Argentina,
100000 to Germany. $3,500,00o to France
100000 10 the United Kingdom and
81 10000 to Australia and New Zealand.
Russia is rapidly progressing in the de-
velopment Of agricultural interest, rs
may be appreciated by the fact that IN
1911. according TO Russa's official hgures'
her importations Of American agricultural
implements totalled about sG,U0CU, al
though exports direct from the unitea
States TO Russia totalled only about half
that sum. Based on this fact, the hgures
Of $1,000. 1oO. showing direct expectation
during the last fiscal year do not repre-
sent the aggregate OF Russias importa-
tons of American agricultural manufact-
ures, much Of which were obtained
through indirect channels. Exports OF
American agricultural machinery to Rus
sia are showing a more rapid growth
proportionately than TO other parts OF the
world, and since 1853 these exports nave
practically trebled. Throughout the world
however. American manufactured mo
chinery for agricultural purposes is grow
ing more popular.

A MILITARY MARVEL.
Rally of the Confederates After tho
Petersburg Mine Exploded.

1t was ON July 80, 1864, tha
Grant exploded the mine whio!
blew up the center of Lees lines a
Petersburg.
From hidden ravine in front Of
Petersburg a mine was dug under
meath the strongest Of the Con,
federate forts. The construction
of the mine was suggested by Colo
mel Peasants of the Forty-eighth
Pennsylvania and was prepared by
his men, who were mostly coal min
ers from the anthracite regions of
the Keystone State.
He excayated a nearly horizontal
shaft about 500 feet in length, at
the end of which and sixteen feet
below the surface of the earth a
large chamber was excavated. In
this chamber were four magazines
containing in the aggregate some
six tons of powder, up to which ran
the fuse.
Just at dawn on July 80 the
mighty blast of $4,000 pounds of
powder was fired The big guns in
the fort, its garrison Of 800 men
and huge masses of earth were
thrown high in the air, leaving
great hole (lnown as the crater)
where a moment before the center
of Lees lines had been.
When the great black smoke cone
was belched into the heavens the
Union artillery opened fire along
the entire line, while an assaulting
column rushed toward the place
where the fort had stood, but which
was now the great hole in the
ground made by the exploded mine.
Down into the crater scrambled
the men in blue (mostly negroes),
and out of the crater the better
part of them never came. The
men in gray, rallying from the con-
fusion, concentrated from every
every side and poured shot and shell
upon the struggling mass of men
huddled in the crater. The Federal
loss was between 1000 and 5000
The recovery of the Confederates
after their center had been blown
high into the air by the great ex-
plosion will ever remain as one of
the most amazing instances of self
possession known to military his
tory.-Rev. T. B. Gregory in New |

Discovery of Rubber.

The rubber tree was discovered
by a missionary, Father Mancelde
Esperanca. He found it while on
one of his apostolic journeys among
the Cambebas Indians of South
America, and gave it the singular
name of the seringueira, because he
remarked that the savages used the
sap of this tree, which hardens
quickly, to make rude bottles that
were shaped like a syringe.-Lon-
