Etomologist is
Better SchooLed
In Bees, He Says

INDIANAPOLIS. July 20.-F'rank
y Wallace, state entomologist and
chief bee Inspector Of Indiana. says
never again will he give advice as TO
how to handle bees without proper
clothing and bee masks nor what 20
do 10 keep from being stung. In
cidentaHy ne says he probably will
not follow as closely what advice ne
has given in the past.
a few days ago Mr. Wallace was
inspecting bees on his brother
farm i'm Morgan county. His broth
er was with him and has advised the
entomOlOgist not TO start the work
without putting on high shoes.
Everything went well until they
reached the last hive and Mr.. Wal
lace was telling his brother that all
precautions some took were not
necessary Just then a bee stung
Mr.. Wallace on the ankle. He look
ed down and found the top of his
low shoes full Of them. Before he
could get them out he was stung
many times and he says he made
fast time" in getting away from
the hives.
Part Of the advice Mr.. Wallace al
ways had given was TO take a sharp
knife and cut off the singer left in
the flesh. similar 20 cutting hairs by
shaving. He says now one cannot
do that when there are any quaint
ties of singers. In relating his ex-
perience the entomOlogist said:
About the only satisfaction 1 got
was when my brother opened his
mouth. threw back his head and be-
gan 10 laugh. two bees stung him on
the chin. 7 cannot prove it. but
am sure my brother kicked that last
| hive to arouse those bees"

ing it with the stated value of the en- tire quantity, and you get the average world price per pound of coffee at the place of exportation to the United States for the year in question. By a similar process you determine the price in place of production of any of the thousands of articles imported fn- to the United States. provided always that the import figures name bIth quantity and stated value for the val nation is in all cases that at the port or country whence shipped to the United States.
 Such comparisons show in a very large proportion of the cases marked increases in the values, at the place of production, of the merchandise brought into the country. Raw cot ypt, was imported in March, 1917, at an average price of SIS cents per pound, against 16.3 cents in March, 1914, a date immediately preceding the war, and these, be it remembered, represent the export price at the port or country from which sent to us. SisaI imports in March of the current year were $302 per ton against S117 in March 1914; copper 29.5 cents per pound against Al cents, three years earlier; goat skins 62.2 cents per pound against 25.7 cents three years earlier: cheese at an average of 34 cents per pound, against ITS cents; flax seed at S2-39 per -bushel, against S129: beans at $3.21 per bushel, against s156; potatoes at SIT against
 72cents three years ago; indigo at S2.00 per pound, against 15 cents per pound in the same months in 1914; logwood at $500 per ton against $11.0O; con1bing wool at 4s cents against PAS cents in March 1914; lead at 6.5 per pound, against cents; cop per at 2s.5 cents against 14.1 cents three years ago; cotton stockings at S3.27 per dozen paid against s1-27 in March 1914; sugar at exactly double the price of three years ago; entrants at an advance of 300 per cent; while cattle hides manila hemp. haw silk, India rubber, tin, lumber. cotton and woolen cloth and many other articles show advances, some of them as much as 100 per cent. Wood pulp. mechan- ica1Iy ground, shows an average inn port price in March, 1917, of s3O.73 per ton, against s16.35 in July 191a; chem ical pulp unbleached S96.90 per ton against s56.75. and chemical pulp bIeached, s133.11 per ton against $49 20 in 1914. All of these advances occur in the price at which the mer- chandise in question was sold in the country from which exported to the United States.

innate s565, 900, 900, this estimate for 1917 being based upon the Government figures for the first ten months of the fiscal year. This would bring the to- tai for the three fiscal years to- ap- proximately s950, ,0o0, ,O00, suggesting a total Of nearly or quite a billion dol while the total domestic export to Russia in the fifty years before the war was about $575, ,000,000
 War materials form, of course, the bulk of the exports to Russia in tHe period since the beginning of hostili- ties, though railway material is also an important factor in the grand total Gunpowder, of which the exports tn that country prior to the war were negligible, amounted to about $57 ,000, 900 in 1916, and while Government fiGS- ures do not show the distribution of the gunpowder exported in 1917, they do show a total in the first nine months of the year two and a half times as great as in 1916. Firearms to Russia in 1916 amounted to about $6,000,000 and the United States Gov ernment figures for the first nine months of the fiscal year 1917 show a, total export of firearms six times a great as in the same period of 1916. Barbed wire to Russia in 1916 showed a total of $13,0O0,000, and the Govern ment figures of exports of barbed wire m J9Jl are 3U per cent. greater than in 1916. Railway cars to Russia in 1916 amounted to over S1S, 100000 To- comotfves abo.S SI2. 900, 600, and steel rails and other track material about SIP, 900 .000, though the figures for 1917 are not yet available. Metal work ing machinery, of which the total to Russia before the war was a little more than $1,0O0,000 was in 1915 $2,- 500. .000. and in 1916 over s12. 2.00O, 900. Automobiles, which were of negligible 11rr1 1.rP4 A,1I over s12,O00 900 in 1915 and approxi- rnateIy S20,009, 900 in 1916 Copper amounted to s3,0o0.00O in 1915 and $9,- 100000 in 1915 and $9000,000 in 1916. the fiscal year 1917 are nearly three times as much in value as in 1916, suggesting that the total to Russia has probably increased.
 In the requirements of peace. which of course formed the chief exports to Russia before the war there is a
 marked decline. Agricultural imple ments, which formed about $7,0G0. 900 of exports to Russia in the year before the war, will apparently amount to less than $500, 900 in the year 1917, and binder twine which amounted to S2.- 800, ,0000 the year before the war. is now but about $500,000 Sewing msS chimes and typewriters which aggre- gated about g, ,500, 900 in the year be- fore the war, now aggregate but about S250, 900.
 One striking fact in connection with this enormous export to Russia is found in the great distance which the merchandise travels to reach its des- tination the distance which it was being more than half way round the world. Of the S61 1000, ,000 worth of merchandise exported to Russia in 1915, S23, ,0Oo, 900 worth went via VIadi- vostok, and of the $314, 900 900 in 1918 s130, ,o00, 900 was billed to Asiatic Rus sia, though the proportion is not now quite asgreat, since the opening of Russia's new port of Kola on the Arc tic frontage now gives her an ali-the- year-round open port through which she can receive much of the merchan-

The Advance in Prices Worldwide.

The advance in prices, so keenly realized by all the people of the Uni ted States. is by no means peculiar to this country, or even to the countries in which war conditions are looked upon as the immediate cause of the higher prices. From the tea fields Of Java and India, the tin mines of the Malayan Peninsula, the silk areas of Java, Hawaii and Cuba, :the sisal plantations of Mexico, the copper mines of South America and Japan, the indigo farms of India, the hemp fields of the Philippines, the 1ogwood forests of the West Indies, the cur rant orchards of Greece, the rubber plantations of the Orient, the cham pagne producing area of France, the cotton fields of Egypt. and even the diamond mines of South Africa, come statistical proof of advance in prices of their respective products
 A compilation by the National City Bank of New York of the prices at which varied products of these wide ly distributed areas are being sold in the places Of production. shows that the advance in prices is general.
 The United States has peculiar fla cilities for determining the prices of the world-products in their respective places of production Her customs laws require that the valuations at which merchandise Is imported shall be those of the merchandise in the country from which exported to the United States and not the value on reaching the port at which it enters this country Thus the values named by the importers of any article, from any part of the world, must be the price at which the goods were sold in the place from which exported to this country, or if the importer does not choose to name the price which he paid for 1t, then the average price Of the article in the wholesale markets of the port from which it was ship ped to this country is used in deter mining the value.
 So 1t is quite feasible to determine the average price at which any given article or class of articles is sold in and at the same time determine the average world export price, by com pairing the total quantity of all the importations of the article in question with the total valuation DSAced upon It by the importers of the entire Quan- uty. f for instance, you want to know the price at which the coffee reaching the United States from Bra gil in any given month was exported from that country you get at least a close approximation of the average price by dividing the stated quantity terTnine the price at which the coffee of Colombia left that country you do so by comparing quantities and value of the Colombia coffee imported and find the average price Of the Colombia or Venezuela or Central American coffee higher than the average Bra znian. If you want, however, to de- termine the price of all Coffees import ed in the latest available months with the same month two or three or four years ago, you do this by taking the total quantity imported and connpar-
