1t. In this way the Department has introduced to the United States this year the chemical porcelain industry. hitherto carried on entirely in Ger many. Two years ago, no American manufacturer would believe that American materials would make such porcelain. Now, we are making in two establishments the best type of modern chemical porcelain. To ac- complish this we had to find the clays in this country; to make the mixture of those clays; to do the firing; to find the glaze and do the glazing, and to produce the finished article before the manufacturer would be con- vinced."
 Practical Devices In Operation. A paper mill is run at the Bureau of Standards; also a rubber shop. and a textile-testing shop in which some surprising results are obtained from
 materials sold to the Government
 Last year Congress, appreciating the
 splendid work of the Bureau in the application of science to industry, pro-
 vided a $2OO,OO0 laboratory for chem ical research affecting industry. Industry in America in the past has
 been hampered by, the lack of sta- tistics. The Bureau of the Census,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-26

the greatest statistical office in the world, is now in position to come forward and supply accurate statistics upon every importantbranch of our commerce.
 Statistics concerning cotton produc- ton and distribution are being col lected and published continually by the Bureau of the Census; and there are now issued twenty-six card reports on this subject throughout the year. Tobacco statistics are also collected at frequent intervals and distributed.
 The administrative and scientific &C., tivities of the Bureau of Fisheries promote the public benefit by direct and practical methods. When the op- portunity for the development of a new fishery based upon the tile fish make the tile fish popular by advice and propaganda and by actual direc- ton of this new fishery in all its phases. The result is well known.
 Before, 1915 the tile fish was prac- tically a curiosity on the market; but within nine months after the first movement by the Bureau was made 6,S38,000 pounds of tile fish, valued at s255,O0O had been marketed. Thus, an absolutely new fishery had been established,' with consequent direct benefit to fishermen, to dealers and to the general public. Practical experi- ments are now in progress to place upon the market in the near future

came into being with Christianity and at the time when people thought they were destroying the works of the Devil to inflict cruel prosecutions on cratic old women. But the fair beauty of ,mythological days is nevertheless the true witch; whether she be degen- crate goddess or heroic demi-god, her story is the basis of all witch con- captions. She contributes the super natural knowledge; she is the orig inator of all the spectral knowledge which witches are supposed to con- trol.
 Hecate, The Patroness Of Witches.
 In Greek mythology belongs the dire and dreadful form of Hecate, who is invoked by all witches on all their more ba1eful undertakings. She was the first to cast spells and become learned in enchantmentsy to loose demons and phantoms from the lower shades.
 Hecate was the mother of Medea and Circe according to some accounts and they, like their mother, were mis- tresses of the art of mixing herbs and poisons. They worked only for evil and are more typical of the later de- velopment of the witch than those of their own times.
 Circe is more apt to be classed with the beauty-loving Greek mythology than her mother. She was supposed to possess all of the attributes of the beautiful enchantress, but her influ- ence was also employed for dire ends She was attended by four witches who gathered the herbs wherewith she

ufacturing by collecting and distribut- ing information for our commercial interests; it reaches out into all the world and gets business for American manufacturers.
 The Bureau has ten commercial at- taches representing the, Department of Commerce, in the more important foreign commercial centers. They study commercial problems and re- port their findings to the Bureau for publication. Attaches are now sta- toned at London, Paris, Petrograd, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro. Santiago, Lima. Pekin and Mel bourne.
 Weights And Measures.
 Uncle Sam is also boosting Ameri- can trade through his Bureau of Standards. Since the matter of weigh ing and measuring products is so vital a part of commerce and daily trade, the work of the Bureau of Standards touches closely all who make, sell and buy, transport or utilize materials which require accurate standards and measuring instruments.

not to be disputed. Did she not fol- witch and did she not die a true witches death?
 English And Scottish Witches. In the sixteenth century, witchcraft reached a climax; it flourished every where Wild stories were in circula- ton and people developed all sorts of foolish ideas. Any story of witchcraft is good illustration of the preval\nt feeling at the time.
 In 1894 was tried Mother Munnings of Hartis, Suffolk; and she was ac- cused of many things-of spelling the crops, of harming the cattle, and final ly of destroying several people upon their death beds. Thus it was sworn that her landlord, not knowing how to turn her out of his house took away the door and left her without one; some time afterward, she said to him as he passed by, "Go thy way; thy nose shall lie upwards in the church yard before Saturday next" On the Monday following, be sickened and died within the week According to her word. Many witnesses confirmed this statement at the trial. That she was not ordered burned at the stake was due to the presence of the Lord Chief Justice on the bench; he ordered a verdict of Not Guilty.">
 But fate was not so kind to John Bulls wife. She was accused of hav- ing conceived a cruel hatred and malice against one Adam Clark and with having used all unholy means to be avenged upon him. On No- vember night, between eleven and twelve-even now a fateful hour for witches-she entered his house in the form of black cat, accompanied by a number of other cats and made a fearful noise at which Adam and his wife were nearly driven frantic. ImS mediately afterwards the devil ap- peared in the likeness of black man. seized the servants nightcap and ! threw it into the fire and dragged her

up and down stairs. As result of this midnight visit, the entire house. hold of Adam contracted a great ill., ness which lasted for at least six weeks.
 This and a number of other so- called crimes were cited against John Bulls poor wife, and she was ordered by her judges to be strangled at the stake and her body burned to ashes.
 The next hundred years were filled with record of such witch trials, all similar in essentials. The belief in witchcraft carried with it a belief in the efficacy of persecution as its cure. Hence a record of prosecutions that is bloody enough to make every coun- try blush in shame.
 The Witchcraft Mania Of Salem. In 1892 Salem village was the scene of a fierce outbreak against witch craft which lasted for more than a year. Cotton Mather attributed it to the Indian "Paw-Maws," but it was probably due to his own book pub lished on the subject. which filled the peoples minds with frightful stories and dangerous notions.
 The persecution of Susanna Martin is one of the most striking. Cotton Mather relates of her that: Susanna Martin. pleading Not Guilty to the indictment of witchcraft brought against her. there were produced the evidence of many persons very sensi- ply and grievously bewitched, who all complained that they believed the prisoner at bar to be the cause of their miseries.
 "One witness testified that, Being in bed, he heard a scrubbing at the window, whereat he saw Susanna come in and jumped upon the floor. She took hold, of the witness feet and drew his body into a heap and held him so that for four hours he could neither speak nor stir; but at length he caught her hand and bit three of her fingers to the bone. Whereupon she went down stairs and out of the door. Snow was lying upon
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-26

the ground and drops of blood were found upon it but no marks of her footsteps were found beyond the threshold Upon such evidence, poor Susanna was found guilty and led out among the townspeople to receive the inevitable punishment at the stake.
 The Witch In Fancy.
 The real witch drew her attributes from the witch of tradition; therefore. it is not likely that she would differ very much from the witch known to the world through fairy tales. For the real witch. whether she be Joan of Arc or the Witch of Endor. has always conformed to one of several types Yet a difference exists between them: the witch of fiction is the tool of her creator and sometimes acts in a manner not becoming to a true prac- ticer of the arts of sorcery.
 For instance. the witch in the story. "Hansel and Gretel," is simply a cruel old woman, moved with no greater desire than to eat her juvenile vic- tims The weird witches of the Grimm and Anderson fairy tales range all the way from fairy godmothers to maleVOlenI Olu HdSS. put they are always the proud possessors of occult powers which give them the right to their title.
 The sisters in Macbeth give an ex- cellent idea of the impression of the witch at the time of Shakespeare. They lived in cavern and spent their, time in brewing valuable potions and exercising their powers of divination. Differing as these. types do. it is easy to follow the creation of the up- to-date witch. She is drawn from poetry and prose, from fact and fic- tion. Her powers have been inherited through centuries of ancestors: saint and spirit wait upon her and do her bidding. And Halloween is her hey dey. This, the night before All Saints Day, is the time when supernatural in- f1uences prevail; 1t is the most favor able time for beseeching the aid of ones favorite witch, whether she be goddess or hag. to pry into the future and wrest the secrets from the land of the tomorrow.

for political intrigues. A case in point, and also a case Illustrative of the rec ognized type of witch of the Middle Ages, was the illustrious Maid of Orleans, who was burned at the stake for her practice of witchcraft and heresy.
 Jeanne d'Arc, The Witch And Patriot.
 The story of the little French maid, who, under the benign influence of saints and spirits, was lifted from the humble position of shepherdess to the leader of the army of France, is too well known in all of it's detail to re- quire repetition. Her heroic history, with its wealth of spectacular events the lifting of the siege of Orleans, which Jeanne herself led, clad in a coat of mail and seated on white horse at the head of her legions; the coronation of the Dauphin at the Cathedral of Rheims; her trial before the tribunals of England and France; her fyal tragic end at a stake in the market place of Rouen-these things reveal a presence of a supernatural power, whether it be the saints of Jeanne's own conjuring, or not.
 All through her mystifying chron- icle. this presence is all-pervading. Never did Jeanne miss an opportunity for attending mass to communicate with her guardian spirits; never did she commence an undertaking without their advice. Indeed her ability as a sorceress won her greater fame from her compatriots and enemies than her efforts to free her country, and for many years her patriotic~services were overshadowed and dimmed by pub lie mind that was steeped in supersti- ton. But that she was a witch is

making safe the pathways over seas and inland waters flor Uncle Sam's merchant marine, the U. s. Coast and Geodetic Survey is diligently sweeping the sea bottom with its wire drags for deadly pinnacle rocks-such as have played havoc with many a good American ship. The sum total cost of vessels lost in Alaskan waters in this way has been more than the original purchase price of Alaska.
 Wire-drag work-the only certain method of finding submerged dangers has been increased during recent years from the activities of one party covering 169 square miles of water area per year to that of four parties covering 1,157 square miles per ar- mum; and ten years work can now be done at the cost of a single wreck.
 The U. s. Steamboat Inspection Service adds its quota of efficiency and effectiveness by exercising juris- diction over all steam vessels navigat- ing any waters of the country which are common highways of commerce. This year Congress has provided for thirty additional local steamboat in- spectors. and they have been placed about the country where most needed.
 Doubled Our Tonnage.
 The Bureau of Navigation has 1uris- diction over the operation of the Ship Registry Act, which went into effect late in 1914; 1t is said to be one of the most immediately successful meas ures of constructive legislation ever enacted for the benefit of our mer- chant marine.
 It provides for the admission of foreign-built ships to American reg istry for the foreign trade. The ton- mage in foreign trade increased from 1,076,153 gross tons in June, 1914, to 2,194,470 gross tons in June, 1916. No other nation before has doubled it's shipping in foreign trade in so short time.

 Boosting Tuna And Salmon.
 The halibut fishery of the north western states has been directly aided by Investigations and surveys. The important tuna fishing and packing industry of California has sought suc- cessfully the Departments aid, and an extended investigation of the tuna has been in progress for months. For the benefit of the salmon fisheries of the western states and Alaska a thor ough study of the habits and propaga- ton of salmon has been aggressively pursued; and already results have been obtained which will materially aid both the states and the Federal Government in the propagation and conservation of this popular table fish,
 Lights Ocean Pathways.
 The U. s. Lighthouse Bureau is the greatest organization of its kind any where; it is rigidly maintained at its high standard to amply sustain Its part in the expansion of American trade by lighting the ocean pathways of American commerce. It supplies some fifteen thousand aids to naviga- tion, including lights, buoys, .e-- signals, etc., for the dangerous waters along our coasts.
 Its newest lighthouse has been set on Cape St. Elias, the southernmost point of Kyak Island, northwestern Alaska. This Is one of the most i'm portant stations in that territory as it is the landfall light for vessels bound for Prince William Sound or Cook Islet from either the Pacific Coast of the United States or from southeastern Alaska.
 The modern lamp of the modern lighthouse is triumph in light-pro- ducing power, being visible at times as far as twenty-seven miles at sea. The lighthouse at Kilauea Point. Hawaii. with a single lamp, gives out by means of powerful lenses 240.000 candlepower.
