to be resumed. Among the elements
Of strength is the continued growth
of our foreign trade. Both imports
and exports are rapidly returning to
normal proportions, in spite of The re-
strictions upon German, Austrian and
Russian commerce. In all probability
we shall soon have liberal excess of
exports which will tend to offset for
eign sales of securities and will rem
der an outward movement of gold
more difficult The war caught us
with a large foreign Indebtedness, the
result of small exports and the return
of American securities. Ordinarily
this could have been settled by our
shipments of wheat and cotton, but
the interruption of cotton exports Sc
rio usly complicated the situation. This
difficulty, however, is now in fair
way of being successfully met.
The home monetary situation shows
slgns of lessened strain. Credit is be-
ing contracted, or, more properly
speaking, conserved, the effect of
which is to impose considerable re-
straint upon trade and enterprise. AS
a result the public is economizing,
" hich further lessons the activity of
business and acts as a minimizer of
credit. It is evidently believed that
in a few months the money market
will be glutted with idle funds, espe-
cially in view Of the expansion of the
currency which has recently taken
place under the Aldrich-Vreeland en-
ergeney law. Bank clearings for the
entire country are running 25 to 30
per cent below a year ago, thus EN-
phasizing the contraction of business,
although this decrease must be very
largely due to the stoppage OF Stock

STARTS ON MAIDEN Trip

Liverpool, Oct. THE Missanabie,
one of the two new "one class cabin
steamers recently completed for the
Canadian Pacific railways trans-At-
lantic service, started from here to-
day on her maiden trip to Quebec and
Montreal. The Missanabie is of 49,
900 tons gross, $4,000 tons displace-
ment, $40 feet in length, GA feet in
breadth and Al feet in depth, with
ample accommodations for $40 cabin
passengers and 1900 third class.
Many innovations have been introduc-
ed in the arrangement of the ship for
the convenience of passengers and
every known device for the insurance
of safety has been installed, so that,
although carrying cargo, the vessel IN
point of comfort, elegance and sta
bility is equal to the best afloat.

ers of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana will meet here in conference
next month. Those who are direct
ing the preliminary work Of the pro-
posed organization are proceeding
along two lines; First, to promote The
healthy growth of canning, evaporat-
ing and otherwise treating fruits that
ordinarily are wasted, and second, to
assist in opening up markets for such
products. A committee of prominent
fIuit men has made survey of the
situation the past year, Under direc-
tion of H. C. Sampson of Spokane.

WORK OF WIRELESS.
Fog Gun Started and Stopped by
Sound Waves.
System Is Being Applied Successfully
at Several Points In Scotland
Solves Problem of Distant
Control of Fog Guns.

Edinburgh.-A system of wireless
control that is now being applied sue
cessfully at several points in Scotland
seems to have solved the problem OF
distant control of acetlyene fog guns
located at points difficult to access.
and provides a means by which num-
ber Of such installations may be op-
Grated from one wireless station with
out the necessity for visiting the diff
ferent signals, except for making re-
pairs and replenishing the supply of
gas. When the gun is started, it au-
tomatically feeds and fires itself at
regular intervals until stopped or un-
til the supply of acetylene runs out,
and the wireless control simply pro-
vides a means Of starting it when
there is fog and stopping 1t when the
fog clears, without going near the
signal Furthermore the wireless ap-
paratus is so arranged and tuned that
1t is not interfered with by the more
powerful waves that may be sent out
by passing ships or by other wireless
stations. The control waves are sent
out by an ordinary wireless station OF
rather low power, while the waves
are received at the fog gun by four
short aerials. The electric impulses
then pass through special form Of
coherer to relay which is very sen
sitive but has large movement and
is therefore capable of keeping in ad
justment under all temperature condi
tions. From the relay the impulses
pass alternatively to two synchron
izers, each of which is connected with

WAR INCREASES CITIZENSHIP

Pittsburgh, Oct. Am increase in
the citizenship of the United States
was not among the many and multi
farious predictions made at the out
break of the European war, but such
has occurred, especially in the anthra-
cite regions of Pennsylvania. Reports
from a large section of Pennsylvania
show that a great number Of applica-
tins for first citizenship papers have
been filed since the war began by for
eigners who for one reason or another
wish to be allied with neutral ma
tion. None Of the mining companies
in the anthracite region have com
planned of the loss Of many laborers
by the return of reservists, and some
mines are carrying more men on their
payrolls than at this time last year.
The laborers in the mines represent
many different countries. One com
pany recently reported that its aver
age number of employees last year
was 12,7S2 men, of whom 6,2S4 were
Russians, 2141 Poles, 1.lo5 Tyroleans,
sos Austrians, 751 Lituanians, 500
Italians, 522 Slavs, 247 Hungarians,
100 Greeks. and 5,2S4 American born
or naturalized. 1t is the English en-
ployes holding the higher positions in
the mines who are going home be-
cause of the war, 1t is said, and it is
these who are difficult to replace. be-
cause most Of them hold positions re-
quiring a miners certificate, which
under the laws OF Pennsylvania it
takes man three years to obtain. The
English are going home in greater
proportions because they have more
money and can more easily reach
their country.

HE HOLDS A LIVE RATHER
South Dakota Man Toys unfllnchlnsly
With Dangerous Three-foot
RattIesnake.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"He is perfectly
tame, won't hurt anybody, but don't
try to play with him unless you know
how" said F. H. Perry as he held a
three-foot rattlesnake in his bare hand
and watched his slow movements
along his arm. He had captured the
snake on rock near the penitentiary
as it lay there in the sun. The snake
had five rattles.
When annoyed it suddenly curled
up and struck at yardstick near it,
imbedding its fangs in the soft wood,
which was Immediately discolored by
the injection of the poison from the
fangs. A number of rattlers had been
found near the old rock pile, and it
was after hearing of these discoveries
that Mr.. Perry started out to find a
snake. He had not hunted long when
he came upon one lying on the stone.
Perry picked it up by first taking
hold of the back of the neck of the
reptile, preventing it from striking
him, and then put it in a box.
In exhibiting it he let it move about
while he held it, and the spectators
shuddered at the thought of what
would happen If the snake would sud-
denly raise itself and strike. No one
offered to assist Perry In handling his
pet.
