SHIP LOSS Since
1914 TOTALS 23l
( ,4O5,0f0 IN TONNAGE LOST--t3i
kEw VESSELS HAVE BEEN
ADDED.

Liverpool, Nov. 5.--The Liver
pool Steamship Oweners' Association
reports that 23t of its ships, with a
total tonnage OF 1,4G5.O46. are num-
lorcd among the war losses since
August 1914.
New vessels added to the feet of
the members OF the association were
I3i. with a tonnage OF 946,532.
Cost Is Estimated.
The association estimates the cost
Of replacement Of liner losses during
the war at sos, 100000. After de-
ducting c69,OOO,OOO as recoverable
under insurance or from the state as
ascortained values under the terms Of
rcouisition, there was left a balance
to re provided Of G34,500, 1000. In ad-
dit!on there must be a heavy outlay
in rocuuditioning liner fleets as they
exist when peace is restored. In the
result provided the whole of the mon
cy collected IN respect of war Losses
is rcinvested in shipping, the line
would have to ind out of earnings,
out Of further capital, or on credit,
in order to bring back their fleets to
the state Of efficiency in which they
were before the war, about $4,000
600.
The report proceeds: "lf the state
embarRs on the building of liner ton
mage. the future of the liners must
be gravely imperiled. The ship
building yard facilities for the build
ing Of such tonnage are limited, and
If the ships are occupied by state
ships. it will be impossible for the
lines to replace their losses. But,
above all else, ii the state is build
ing ships TO compete with the line
their credit with their shareholders
will be destroyed, and such capital
as they have available will be with
drawn to find more secure employ
meut.

GERMANS PLANNED ZIG
WIRELESS IN ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires, Dec. S.-The arrest
Of Count Luxburg. formerly German
minister to the Argentine Republic,
prevented the operation of q gigantic
wireless station which had been erect
ed by a German company on a bluff
near Buenos Aires. When LuXburg
received his passports the company
was installing an apparatus which
was expected to put this city into di-
rect photographic communication
with the German station at Nauen,
Germany.
The next day the Minister of Ma
rine closed the wireless station and
ordered an officer of the navy to SUI
perintend the dismantling Of the ap-
paratus.
Altho the official excuse given for
the closing Of the station was that its
experiments had not been successful.
officers of the Ministry of Marine
have stated that the real reason was
to prevent secret communication with
Germany during the crisis which fol-
lowed the expulsion of Luxburg.

 Competition itself is forcing employ CTS to consider the outside life of their employees" says Miss Tarbell. "The first and most important thing they must consider is the house the man lives in.

WATER PoRTERs OF QUITO.
The Funny Way They Have In Deliver

The Funny Way They Have In Deliver.
 ing Their Liquid Load.
 About fountain in one of the Drin- cipal squares of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, assemble every morning the city's aguadOres. These water porters differ from the less energetic ones of some South American cities in carry ing their jars upon their backs instead of on the backs of mules. Their earth en jars are deep, have a wide mouth and hold about forty pints.
 The porter carries it on his shoulder fastened with leather straps. He never detaches himself from his jar either to fill it or to transfer it's contents to that of his customer.
 He turns his back to the fountain so that the jar comes under one of the jets of water and listens to the sound Of the water in the jar, and his ear is so well trained that he always walks away at the exact moment when it is filled to the brim.
 Arriving at the house of a customer, he goes to the household jar, makes a deep bow and disappears behind a tor rent of water. Foreigners can never receive without laughing the visit of their aguadOr, the respectful little man who bows to one behind the cataract of water.-Los Angeles Times.

iNCAsED POSTAGE STAMPS.
Once Used as Money, They Are Now

Once Used as Money, They Are Now
 Rare and Valuable.
 New York city was the birthplace of a peculiar sort of nancy, made by put ting United States postage stamps in fiat circular brass cases, with the faces protected by thin sheet of mica. The incased stamps consisted of these de- nominations 1, 3, 5, 10, F, 24, 30 and 90 cent, 1862, and this method of pro- tecting the stamps so they could with stand the wear of circulation was the invention of John GaHlt, who was in business at Park place, New York city.
 MT. Gault manufactured many kinds to be used by business firms in place of small change, as well as the muti- lated and worn postage stamps used for money at the beginning of the war. Many of the incased stamps bore the name of the firm on the reverse side, so that the currency served to adver- tise the firm that issued it.
 Occasionally a subscriber asks us i'll regard to these stamps and their value. Our reply always is that they are of considerable rarity and not infrequent- Iy they command big premium. This is particularly true of the F, A, 30 and 90 cent denominations. These stamps are eagerly sought for by col lectors of both stamps and coins, but especially the former, and they fetch good prices whenever offered at auc- tion sales.-American Boy.

Donk0yR In TrouROra,

The stranger in Guayaquil, in Ecua- dor, at once remarks one very curi- Ous feature of it's life and general ap- pearance We are used to seeing nets over our horses in the summer, but such an outfit as is required by the donkeys in the tropics strikes the stranger as ludicrous. The donkeys are numerous in the city and are used for all manner of load purposes. from baskets of fruit to the carcasses of butchers meat. In the morning a string of them may be seen trotting through the streets with a load of fresh meat from the slaughter house, which is situated outside the town The dOnkeys are all provided with cov- erings around the fore legs, like or dinary trousers, and with protection over the ears against the mosquitoes. The GuayaQuil donkey presents most cOmical appearance in trousers, especially if his garment is embroider ed, as it sometimes is.
