LEADS IN SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

The per capita consumption OF SUI
gar in the United States is 1863 pounds
a year, according to the latest stats
tics compiled by the government ex-
perts. Americans need not believe
that they are the most sweet-toothed
people, however, for in the United
Kingdom the per capita consumption
is said to be S6.49.
These are some of the statistics
contained in a report by F. J. Sheri-
dan. commercial agent of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
made public by Secretary of Com
merce Redfield.
The United States is the greatest
sugar consuming country in the
world, according to the report. It
consumes annually almost one-f1fth
of the entire amount of sugar pro-
duced in the world. In 1903-i0 it con-
sumed 3,2S5,771 long tons, as com
pared with 1,707,9 tons by the Unit
ed Kingdom, 1,199,3S9 tons by Russia
and 1,116,315 tons by Germany, all
other countries consuming less than
100000 tons each. The per capita
consumption of the United States in
the same period was 1913 pounds,
which was the highest except that or
the United Kingdom, which had an
apparent per capita consumption Of
8S49 pounds. due TO the large
amounts used in fruit canning and
preserving for export.

TO INVESTIGATE ELECTRICITY
DANGERS.

Experts in the United States bureau
Of standards are now making plans
for an investigation of the dangers to
life and property from electricity pro-
vided for in the amendment to the ap-
preparation bill Of the last congress
introduced by former Representative
James M. Cox, now governor OF Ohio
This investigation will be started dur
ing the coming summer and the work
will be conducted by DR.. e. B. Rosa
and his assistants Of the bureau OF
standards, under the direction of DR..
S. w. StrattOn.
This study of methods of safeguard
ing life is looked forward to by cleo
trical men to produce results in the
line of human conservation more inn
portant than any other work of the
government to lessen industrial acct
dents. except perhaps the investiga-
lions to make less hazardous the work

With the rapid increase in the use
of electricity as force of production
and transportation and for purposes Of
lighting and heating there has been
marked increase during late years in
the number of lives lost and persons
injured by electric shock. While reli-
able figures are not available, it shown
throughout the country each week in
electrical accidents, and it is also
known that the number of accidents
could be greatly lessened if safety
measures now in use in some places
could be standardized and generally
adopted.

PHILIPPINE TRADE
imports From United States by
Islands Show Increase.
Large Gain is Shown In Cotton Goods,
the Sale of Which Almost Doubled
as Compared With Previous
Similar Period.

Washington During the nine
months ending with March last the
value of the imports from the United
States into the Philippine Islands was
s19,46S,592, or A per cent. of the total
importations, which amounted to $43,
S17,234.
The increase of per cent. in i'm
ports over the previous corresponding
period was due almost wholly to in
creased importations from the United
States.
Official statistics of the foreign COM
merce of the Philippines, compiled by
the bureau of insular affairs, show
also that this country figured in the
Philippine export trade to the amount
of $16,837, JIG, or SO per cent. of the to-
tai value, as against $15,616,867 for
the same period of the previous year.
Among the articles imported into
the islands from the United States,
says a statement from the insular bu-
beau, cotton goods showed the most
marked increase, the value during the
latter period being $5,189,464, as
against 1891 ,036 during the former,
an increase of more than 80 per cent.
THE total value of cotton cloths i'm
ported into the islands during the
nine months ending March, 1913, was
$685. 1896, as compared with $685.
332 during the previous year.
"Other commodities which figured
In the increase in importations were
wheat, -four automobiles, machinery,
mineral oils and rice.
'The increase in the value of rice
importations was due entirely, how
ever, to the higher prices, as the guam
tity imported was slightly less than
during the previous year. The only
notable decrease was in the imports
of cattle.
THE United States purchased hemp
from the islands to the value of S1O,-
O18,570, an increase of $4,353,715 over
the same period for the previous year
Approximately 80,O00,000 cigars, with
a value of $1,70S,2 were exported to
this country, which represents ma
terial increase There was reduc-
ton in the value of sugar and copra
expectations, particularly to the Unit
ed States, due principally, however. to
reduced prices rather than to reduced

At the Office they left the car, but

upon Stanton more and more the de-

lonely existence.

manded, upon concluding arrange

The mechanician shook his bronze
