ENORMOUS TRADE IN FILMS.

Twenty-Five thousand miles of mo-

around the globe at the equator, will
be the export record of the United
States in the calendar year 1913. The
United States is the worlds greatest
manufacturer of motion picture films.
probably three-fourths of the entire
films OF the world being manufactured
in this country. Large quantities of
films are sent out Of the country. both
as blank or unexposed films, and as
finished films ready for use in the
stereopticon.
The rapid increase in this branch of
the export trade of the United States
resulted In the establishment by the
bureau OF foreign and domestic COM
merce. department of commerce. of a
detailed record which shows the quail
ity, measured by feet, and the value
of films exported from the country:
the plain films and those ready for
use, separately stated; the countries
OF destination, and the ports through
which this distribution is made. This
record shows total expectation in

which are really stimulants in dis

bit of anything that tastes good to
her-all these will help to give
strength, and when that comes
enough flesh will soon follow.

RARE ETALS.

The production of tungsten ore in
the United States during 1912 was
equivalent to about 1920 short tons
carrying so per cent. of tungsten tri-
oxide, valued at $500, 1855 The out
put for 1912 was larger than that for
1911, when 1,139 tons, valued at S407.-
9S5 were produced, The total amount
of tungsten produced in the world in
1912 was 9.115 short tons. Tungsten
finds considerable use in the manufac-
ture of tungsten incandescent lamps,
which have now become common even
on street and railway cars, where the
usage is especially severe. An account

GLUCOSE AND STARCH.

Final statistics of the manufacture
of glucose and starch in the United
States for 1909 are given in detail
in bulletin soon to be issued by Dr.
rector Harris of the bureau of the CEN
sus, department of commerce. 1t was
prepared under the direction Of NJ. w.
Stuart, chief statistician for manu-
features.
OF the rs establishments canvassed
in 1909, 932 per cent were engaged
primarily in the manufacture Of starch,
but the value of products of these
Establishments formed only 32.5 per
cent. of the total value of products re-
ported for the combined industry. The
eight establishments engaged primar-
lily in the manufacture of glucose
formed only 6.S per cent. of the total
number Of establishments, but the
value of their products represented
SIS per cent. Of the total value of
products for the industry.
The establishments in the industry
as a whole in 1909 gave employment
to AN average of 5,S27 persons. of
whom 4,773 were wage earners, and
paid s4,079,722 in salaries and wages.
The capital invested amounted to
$3S ,S66,419. The cost of materials
used In the industry as a whole in
1909 was $36,S9S,771, and the total
