Orchid Ice Cream Very
Popular

Very few if us would ever think of
ordering orchid ice cream without a
little tremor of the pocketbook, for
everyone knows that the orchid is the
most expensive of flowers. But there
are thousands of persons who eat or
child ice cream daily. Although they
probably have not been aware of the
distinction, it is none the less a fact.
OF course, the ice cream IL not ordered
by the aristrocatic name of orchid.
ON the contrary, it bears the very
plebeian name of vanilla.
There are said to be no less than
$4,000 varieties of orchid scattered
over the earth All of them have the
peculiar artificial beauty and the
haunting odor that seems inseparabIe
from this flower, which looks almost
as though it We're a product of an
unhealthy condition in nature. OF all
these $4,000 varieties, only one has
any practical value, and that is the
one from which vanilla comes. The
plant grows abundantly N South and
Central America, and has been
transplanted to other tropical coun-
tries where 1t is now Furnishing.

Chinese Trade Gets Boost From War

The rapidity with which Chinese in
dustries organized on more or less
modern lines for manufacturing goods
Of foreign style have been increasing
in the past few years will doubtless
continue to be one of the most i'm
portant features of Eastern life for
some time to come. A number of in
teresting conclusions are drawn from
this fact by the United States consul
at Honkong.
The increase and decrease in the
various industries measure in a way
the course of such industries since
the war. For example. the number
of furniture manufacturers increased
from 1913 to us. marking the great
increase in the use of foreign" fur
niture and the increasing necessity of
depending upon local manufacture
because of high freights as we'll as
high original costs abroad. The num-
Der of tanneries increased from .
to IS; the number of clock makers
from II TO 81; the number of knit
ting factories from Il to %: OF
paper box makers from Is to IS; of
soap factories from 6 to Z; of jim
riliiSha makers from Il to 20; OF
rope and sail makers from IS to 13o-~
all these and other increases are due
directly to the course of demand for
foreign" goods and the increasing
ability Of the Chinese to supply them.
The number of boat builders declined
from III to H.. measuring the de-
creased tonnage of ships entering the
port, for these boat builders are
largely employed in making life and
other ships boats for the shipping en-
tering Hongkong. Other changes mark
changing demand for Chinese goods
abroad or decreased trade due to high
freights; for example, bamboo ware
makers decreased from Al to rs. box
makers from l27 to 50. copper ware
makers from 81 to 49, iron foundries
from II to II, and iron-ware makers
from 1+9 to 1Al.
Demand for goods to take the place
of foreign made ware is shown in the
increase of tinware makers from SO
to 90. salt makers from to IS. and
brick and tile makers from 90 to % +:

factory which was not In existence be-
fore. Glass factories remained at 10.
paper factories at one. while mirror
factories illustrated the high price OF
glass by going out of business quite
generally, the factories decreasing
from 20 to .. Additional taxes on
liquors and new taxes on tobacco are
reflected in the decrease in the number
of distilleries from 1s4 to 13S and Of
tobacco factories from "a to 80. The in
creased demand for foreign" goods is
illustrated by the increase In the num-
Der of bakeries from AZ to 81, while
the decreased demand for Chinese
prepared foods is shown by the de-
crease in canneries from Is to 10 and
ginger packing establishments from
16 to 10.
The development or tnese indus
tries in Honkong is merely illustra-
tive of n far reaching development all
over China. The industrial world al
ready appreciates the fact that there
are large steel mills at Hankow which
can produce probably the cheapest
steel in the world; it also appreciates
the fact that Chinese cotton mills
have made great advance in the past
few years, but in general it does not
appreciate that these latter are at the
present time turning out increasing
quantities of fancy cotton fabrics as
well as the standard goods and cotton
yarn heretofore produced. The advance
made in the manufacture of WOODEN
goods also has been such as to affect
the market for wooden products in the
east.
Further development In all these
lines is unquestionably to be realized
in the next two or three years; and
the close of the war and the read.
justment of trade in the east following
the re- establishing of peace and nor
NAL government and financial condi.
tons will witness an immense change
in Chinese industrial and commercial
affairs.
