United Kingdom, s321,35S,313, Ger many $1S9, ,156, ,172, France, SIPS. BPS, ,06S. In Guatemala Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay, ten countries in all, the imports from the United States eX- ceeded the exports thereto. In the re- maining ten countries, Mexico, Salva- dor. Costa Rica, Cuba, Brazil. Chile Colombia. Ecuador, Peru, and Nene- zuela, the exports to the United States exceeded the imports therefrom. In Guatmala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, the Dominican Republic. and Haiti, the imports from the United States represented more than one-half of all the imports into the countries. In Mexico the imports from the United States amounted to nearly one-half-49.7 per cent. of the whole. The ten countries last named, taken together, took from the Uni ted States 52.6 per cent. of their total imports, from the United Kingdom 12.S per cent, from Germany, 100 per cent, and from France, 7.2 per cent, The same countries exported to the United States 71.S per cent of their to- tai foreign exports, to the United Kingdom, Ill per cent, to Germany 7.9 per cent. and to France, 3.6 per cent. In only tow of the ten countries named did the United States fail to rank first in both imports and exports; in represented 52s per cent of the total, to the United States, PIP per cent. and in Haiti the exports to both France and Germany exceeded those to the United States. In Honduras the proportion of exports to the Uni ted States was 899 per cent of the whole, in Panama, 86.3 per cent, and in Cuba, 7e.9 per cent.
 In the ten republics of South Amer ica the position of the United States was by no means so advantageous. Of the totals for these countries the United States supplied, 1925 per cent. of the imports, the United Kingdom, 27.73 per cent, Germany 1885 per cent. and France s.68 per cent. The United States took of their eXports17.65 per cent the United Kingdom, 24.09 per
 cent, Germany 1878 per sent, and France 9.S7 per ean+
 It can easily be seen, therefore, that the position of the United States as the leading country in Latin Ameri- can trade is due to its commanding position in the ten earby republics, and that in South America it is far behind the United Kingdom in both imports and exports, and behind Ger
 many in the imports. But even in South America the trade of the United

UNITED STATES AND
 LATIN AMERICAN TRADE
TEis Country Has Leading Position
 Among Ten Nearby Republics.

The total foreign trade Of the twen- ty Latin American republics for the year 1913 was $2,S64, ,876,224. Of this amount s1,325, ,752,627 represented inn ports and S1,539, ,123,597 exports.
 The figures above are compiled by the Pan American Union from original reports from she several countries For Panama the figures are partly estimated, being founded upon incom- plete returns, and for Nicaragua and Ecuador they are for the year 1912. In all other eases the period covered is the calendar year 1913.
 How is this trade distributed among the principal commercial nations of the world, and in particular. what share has the United States therein It comes ometimeS as a surprise to Americans when they are told that the United States enjoys a larger pro portion of the foreign trade of the Latin American republics than any other country in the world. In 1913 the share of the United States was more than three times that of France. nearly double that of Germany, and twenty-five per cent greater than that of the United Kingdom: United States, sS03. .465.S45, United Kingdom, s643,- 5S6,3 Germany s4o7.132S374; France S23S, ,S13,453.
 Until 1913 the lead of the United oldLGS III luc 4OIclSh IIdOC oI 4@1lAAI America was due to it's share of Latin American exports, but the Uni- ted Kingdom has therefore led in the volume of Latin American imports, In 1913, for the first time, the United States took the lead in imports, the value Of its shipments to the twenty countries being 5,S37,345, as against the United Kingdom, $322, ,228, ,073, Germany, s17,976,202, and France. s1Io.4S4.sS5. Notwithstanding the ef- forts put forward by the British man. ufacturers in 1914, and particularly since the beginning of the war, to maintain their position in the Latin American import trade and to capture large share of the German trade it can be predicted with reasonable con- f1dence that the lead in this trade ac- quired first by the United States in 1913 will not be lost in 1914.

When the Moon Wanes.

To the question, How often do we get 8 full moon? most peoples answer probably would be once A month at least. That would be correct for most years but 1t does rot apply to 1915, for February this year has no full moon. January and March have two and the other months one each. This can only happen when the age of the moon e, the first of January is 14 days and when February has 2S days, which is the case this year.
 There is what is called 8 lunar cycle of 19 years, when the moons phases are repeated. So it may be that in 1884 we may have another February without a full moon. A mean lunation is 29 days F hours. A minutes and 3 seconds. It is found that 235 of these lunations agree with 19 solar years within about an hour and 8. half. Hence it is that the moons phases arc prac- tically repeated every 19 years.-Man- chester Guardian.

Loughman was lowered shortly after
10 a. m, and was being brought to the
surface when he became entangled. Div
