LOSE At RATE OF
$4,000 A YEAR

CHICAGO, May 26. "A net loss of
to the Presbyterian church
averaging more than $4,000 a year
for the six years since 1908 was re-
gretfully announced to the session
of the Presbyterian general assem-
bly, here today. This loss was stated
to be through the single item of alb
senteeism In 1913. 50,927 members
were dropped from the rolls and
1906 we're restored.
These figures, however, take no ac-
count of the yearly additions to the
church in new members, children,
converts, etc,
The loss, as given above, was stat
ed to be due both to what is termed
"absenteeism" and to the negligence
of members TO notify their churches
Of change of address. The statement
was given in the report of the com
mittee on the suspended roll.
ut is certainly lamentable that
there should be such steady net
loss to the church" the report stated
ut makes the situation yet more the
cause for serious thought when 1t is
understood that this return is made
by only 3,417 churches, while 6,474
churches submitted no figures. Twen
ty-nine per cent of these suspensions
were made by 154 churches, each Of
which dropped more than so mem
bers during the past year"
Following are the figures for sly
years submitted to the committee:

BLUE FOX FARMS
STARTED IN ARCTIC
COPENHAGEN MAN POUNDS A
NEW INDUSTRY ON GREEN
LAND COAST.

A fur merchant of Copenhagen has
been experiment in Greenland with
breeding foxes in captivity to obtain
skins for the market He went to
Greenland in 1911 TO initiate the en-
terprise and to assist in selecting a
suitable location. After visiting some
twelve islands off the southern coast
of Greenland, he chose the small
group of four Ikarrisat islands in
Good Hope bay. These islands are
surrounded by strong currents that
prevent freezing of the sea during
winter. The land is covered with
powders suitable for constructing
breeding holes. There is plenty of
fresh water, and fish can easily be
obtained to feed the animals.
The merchant who started the ex-
pertinent is now in Copenhagen, but
will leave in May with his family
for the seat of his operations. Foxes
will be caught in Greenland and
transported to their new quarters.
The cost of starting the enterprise
will be borne by the Greenland gov
eminent administration, and the
primary outlay is estimated at $1,000
to $4,000 yearly. No returns are ex-
pected before four or five years.
The animals to be raised are the
blue and white foxes. Greenland
foxes are all born blue, but about
40 per cent turn white as they grow
older. Dealers in fox skins pay good
prices for the blue variety. At the
fur auctions last held in Copenhagen
a Greenland blue fox pelt sold for
$50.

ALUMINIUM DEMAND
IS GROWING RAPIDLY

The year 1913 was the most pros
porous in the history of the bauxite
and aluminium industries in the Unit
ed States, according to w. c. Phalen,
of the United States geological sur
yey, in a report on the production of
bauxite and aluminium in 1913, from
Mineral Resources" The production
of beauxite in 1913 was 21O,241 long
tons, valued at $99769S, against 1884,
S65 long tons, valued at $768.932, in
1912. Beauxite is used chiefly as raw
material in the production of metallic
aluminium. in the manufacture of alu-
minum salts, in the manufacture of
bauxite bricks, and in the manufac-
ture of alundum for use as an abra-
sive.
The amount of aluminium consumed
in the United States in 1918 was 72,-
$4,000 pounds, against 65,607 900
pounds in 1912. The marvellous
growth of the aluminium industry is
shown by comparison Of the 1918
output with the total consumption of
aluminium during the last 20 years,
377 100000 pounds. More than 329,-
100000 have been consumed in the
last 10 years. The total production
in 1874 was only $50 pounds.
Aside from its use in the manufac-
ture of cooking utensils, aluminium Is
now being employed on a larger scale
in the construction of welded tanks,
cooking watts and vessels used by
4 brewers, preserve manufacturers, and
| fat recoverers, and in industries
where a metal is required that will
conduct heat, will not corrode, and
is not poisonous. II has been found
by experiments that the only sub
stances which dissolve any of the
metal are oranges, lemons. Brussels
sprouts, and tomatoes, and that il
every test the quantity dissolved wa!
so small as to be harmless.
The use of aluminium wire as {
conductor in long-distance power
transmission schemes is increasing
A recently developed branch of thu
aluminium industry is the manufac
ture of the powdered metal known a
alumnum-bronze powder which /
used extensively as a paint pigment
in explosives. in lithographing, an
in printing. Aluminium foil has partl
displaced tinfoil for wrapping article
such as cheese chocolate candies. an
tobacco. One of the newest and pei
haps oldest uses for aluminium is it
employment in making the soles Q
shoes to be used by workmen en-
ployed in wet and damp places. TIL

CLEANED THE DOCS BUGGY
Which Was Not What Boys Intended
to Do, but That Was the End
of the Adventure.

81 remember" said Uncle Josh, who
was in the humor for telling a yarn,
Il remember one balmy day In July
when the other boys and | decided to
steal old Doc Hoffums horse and
buggy and drive to the river to go
swimming. Doc was visiting at our
house that day, and 1t looked easy to
US to drive two miles over to the
river and get cooled off and then
bring the horse and buggy back before
the old man missed them.
There were a good many Of us
and we were not dressed very fine.
Slim, for example, was attired In a
long linen buster that Topped out be-
hind. The springs allowed US to bump
pretty hard, there being so many pas
sengers, but we got to the river safe
ly.
Eve had a bully swim, but Slick
said he thought we ought to wash the
buggy while we we're there. The way
to do it, he said was to run the buggy
into the river.
I'VE unhitched the horse and pro-
ceeded to back the buggy into the
water. But the buggy got away from
US, and away it went, much further
than we expected. We couldn't hold
it and so it disappeared entirely. A
couple of bubbles came up and that
was all!
while we were diving to locate the
buggy the horse got away. and we all
took after him. We chased him
around clump OF trees, half Of US
on one side and half on the other to
head him off. Both parties rounded
the clump of trees at the same time
and ran plump into a camp meeting,
mostly women!
1--WE let the horse go then and by
that time we had forgotten where we
left the buggy"
i suppose some one stole all your
clothes while you were gone" sug-
gested the man from Topeka.
NO" said Uncle Josh. we found
our clothes, and from their position
on the bank we figured out who're the
buggy ought to be. One of the camp
meeting people brought the horse
back and we got rope from him and
diyed around until We got the rope
tied to the buggy. Then we got 1t
out on the bank. That is the only
time Doc Hoffum's buggy was ever
clean"
Didn't it hurt the buggy" asked
the man from Topeka
Didn't harm a thing but the
squeak. The bath utterly destroyed
that Old Doc Hoffum often wonder
ed what had become Of the squeak,
for he missed it badly. The horse
missed it, too. 1t was a good, soothing
sound that the two Of them were &C.
customed to doze by as they logged
over the road"
