the returns made to the statistical di.
vision OF the burea. Of foreign and
domestic commerce. The price OF in.
ported coffee in 1912 was higher than
that OF recent years, though in the
fiscal years 1895 and 1896 it averaged
141.2c per pound, and in 1894, l6 1.2c.
The quantity OF coffee imported In
1912 was not abnormally large, the
figures above quoted for that year in
dicating that its total was less than
that for certain earlier years, the un.
usually high figures Of value being
due to high pr.ces.
About two.thirds of the coffee i'm
ported in 1912 came from Brazil, the
total from that country being 676 mil
lion pounds, valued at SO IL million
dollars, against 26G IL million pounds
valued at 81 million dollars, from all
other countries. Next to Brazil the
largest Expectations were 81 IL mil
lion pounds, valued at 10 million dol.
lars from Colombia; 81 23 million
pounds, valued at 1913 million dollars,
from Venezuela; 80 million pounds,
valued at 4 l.3 million dollars, from
the Central American States; and
81 IA million pounds, valued at > mil.
lion dollars, from Mexico; while from
Europe as a whole the importations
Of coffee produced in Asia, Africa and
other countries amounted to AZ "a
million pounds, valued at 6 ga million
dollars.
The high price Of imported coffee in
recent years has been accompanied
by a marked increase in the importa'
tons of cocoa. The quantity of crude
cocoa imported into the United States
in the calendar year 1912 was 1853 mil.
lion pounds, against 1874 million in
1911, 11G million in 1910, and 121 mil.
lion in 1909, the first year in which
the total exceeded 100 million pounds.
The value of crude cocoa imports OF
1912 was S16,9l7,356, against $14,5S9,.
545 in 1911 and $7,2G2, 100 in 1902, a
decade ago, in which year the quaint.
ty imported was 54,744,5i5 pounds.

COFFEE APPROPRIATIONS.

The value Of coffee importations in
the calendar year 1912 was the larg-
est OH record, amounting to 1912
million dollars, against 81 million in
1911, and "a rnillion in 1910, 81 mil.
lion in both. 1909 and 1904, and 1903
million in 1892, the former high rec
ord year. The quantity, however, i'm
ported in 1912 is materially less than
in certain earlier years, the number
Of pounds imported in 1912 being 943
million, against LAO cnillion in 1909
and LIB million in 1904. The aver
age price per pound OF the coffee i'm
ported was, in 1912, 1886, against 7.6c
In 1909, and Csc i'll 1902. These fig
ures represent the average price in
the country from which exported to
the United States, since the law des-
ignating the method of valuing the
merchandise imported into the United
States requires that the selling price,
or wholesale market value of the
merchandise in the country from
which exported be accepted al the
stated value OF the merchandise II

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1911;
THE WORDS WE SPELL.

"~Everybody's interested in spelling,
and there's always something new to
be learned about it, said DR.. p. p.
ClaXton, United States commissioner
OF education, when shown a report
that present-day spelling books were
given rather a severe jolt by Leonard
p. Ayres of the Russell Sage Founda-
ton, on the ground that they do not
contain words most useful for practi-
cal purposes.
DR.. Ayres has examined 1000 bust
ness and personal letters and tabulat-
ed words actually used in them. He
compares the words he finds and
those in the usual school spelling
lists with surprising results. Thus
of the Ala words on the Mathematician
cation associations spelling lists used
in the Cleveland tests of 1905, 2S9
never once appear in any of the 1000
Letters, showing, according to DR..
Ayres, "that useful spelling lists can
not be compiled by sitting at the desk
and deciding which words people
ought to know how to spell"
An astonishing poverty of vocabu-
larry was revealed by the investiga-
ton. Only 2,O01 separate words were
discovered in the $4,000 tabulated, and
751 of these appeared but once. In
fact, As words occurred SO frequently
as to make up half the total number,
and $40 common words constituted
seven.eighths of the aggregate.
How limited this number is" says
DR.. Ayres, becomes most apparent
when it is considered that the ordi-
nary desk dictionary contains from
100000 to $4,000 separate words, while
small pocket dictionaries contain
from $4,000 to 100000" He points out
that the average American does not
even begin to make use of the words
he learns in the elementary grades in
school, for the elementary school
spelling books contain from 10000 to
$4,000 separate words. The explana-
ton is, he thinks, that the pupils tenn
porarily master for spelling purposes
thousands of words which they pro-
ceed to forget as soon as they pass
out of the elementary grades; and he
suggests an extended investigation to
determine just what words are most
needed for ordinary use, TO the end
that a really fundamental list may be
taught so thoroughly as never to be
forgotten. Such a list, he thinks,
would then furnish a sound basis for
increase in vocabulary.
The correspondence examined by
DR.. Ayres was Of various kinds, in
Guiding letters to a mail.order house;
letters received by a physician; let
tiers to the query department of a city
newspaper; letters received by a law
yer; letters to teachers from. parents
OF pupils; miscellaneous letters to a
publishing house; family letters; and
even "a small but varied collection
Of love letters"

An even greater revolution as 70 the

countries between this point and there
that were practically dead ten years

trainloads of winter vegetables to ST.

have come to this valley walking on
their uppers and are now riding about
in automobiles. The exports of vcge-
tables are running high into tho mill
lions of dollars a year, and over Sl25,OV,-
600 of new money has been invested in
the valley within the past seven years.
Mr.. Holland. one Of the owners of
the San Antonio Express. tells me that
all the counties of the lower Rio Grande
valley are rapidly growing, and he
cites the instances of three which
cover a space about as large as that OF
Rhode Island In 1910 tho population
of these counties had doubled over
that OF 1900 and they have grown about
= per cent within the past two years.
The land values have also more than
doubled and am told that the country
Is still on the edge of its beginning.
understand that homeseekers ex-
cursions are now run throughout the

are under way. In some places the
water is pumped from the Rio Grande
by centrifugal pumps with pipes rang
ing from sixteen 10 forty-eIght inches {,
and the water is carried by means of
humping stations for miles over the
country.
There is another district between
here and San Antonio where the irrlsa-
ton is by artesian wells They md
the water at from $50 to i.soo feet and
some of the wells flow sufficient to
irrigate from 200 20 800 acres. Indeed l.
the whole of Texas seems to be in an
excellent business condition The farm
ers are growing rich and the cities
