WANT NEWBULLETIN Big Demand for the Weekly News Letter. Department of Agriculture Embarrassed by Growth In Popularity—Looking for Some Way to “Sidestep” Without Hurting Any One’s Feelings. Washington.—Again the department of agriculture is suffering from an excess of popularity. The last time it ran into an embarrassment of this sort was when the past spring it issued its now famous “bird book,” which was a manual of the common farm and orchard birds of interest to farmers. There was such a shoal of requests for copies that the department has never been able to catch up -with the requests. This time it is in connection with the “weekly news letter” that Secretary Houston undertook to get out as a sort of compensation tQ the 36,000 crop correspondents who get no other reward for their services. The first issue of this letter has just been put cut. It consists of about 1,800 words of typewriting, giving in popular language and paragraph form summaries of bulletins and other things of immediate interest to agriculturists. The intention was to get out an edition just large enough to supply the correspondents. The first number contained paragraphs about investigations into seed adulteration, damage to the market value of hides by the cattle tick, action against misbranded insecticides, etc., of fiirect interest to farmers. There was an immediate flood of applications for the letter from country papers and besides other things a request that a copy be sent to each of the 58,000 postoffices for posting for the benefit of visitors. All this was quite complimentary, but the appropriation for white paper alone to meet such a demand wjtS too much of a drain, and the mechanical facilities for printing and mailing all the copies were entirely inadequate. So the department is now lookfftg around for some way to sidestep gracefully without hurting any one’s feelings. July exports of breadstuffs, meats, cotton, and mineral oils show a large increase over Growth in those of the corExport Trade. responding month of last year. The Monthly Bulletin of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, showing exports from the principal customs districts of breadstuffs, cottonseed oil, food smimals, meat and dairy products, cotton, and mineral oils shows a total of $47,750,000 for July, 1913, against $33,000,000 in July, 1912. The chief increase occurs in wheat, of which the exports from principal customs districts during July, 1913, were 9,397,745 bushels, against 523,385 bushels in July of last year, the value being $9,093,182, against $537,928 in July of last year. These exports of wheat in July were larger than in July of any earlier year since 1901. Flour, also, shows a considerable Increase, being $3,611,986 for July, 1913, against $2,616,022 for July, 1912. Meat and dairy products show an increase of about $2,500,000 over July of last year; cotton an increase ■of $1,333,000; mineral oils, an ipcrease of nearly $1,000,000; while cottonseed oil and cattle and food animals show a slight decline. The total for the six groups of articles named —breadstuffs, cottonseed oil, food animals, meat and dairy products, cotton and mineral oil —for July, 1913, is $47,739,815, against $32,992,614 in July of last year, and for the seven months ending with July, $486, 691,678, against $486,978,217 in the corresponding months of last year.

A circular issued last week declares that one of these rifles should be capable of firing 8,000 to 13,000 rounds before becoming so worn as to be inaccurate. Many of the rifles turned in as unserviceable are found to be in this condition more through want of careful cleaning and the use of abrasives than by any reason of the actual number of rounds fired. Therefore, it has been ordered that such guns as are worn at the muzzle with barrels rust- , ed or pitted, a sign that they have not been properly treated, shall be tried out by expert riflemen, and not condemned unless they show marked Inaccuracy at the targets.

Mr. Sullivan reached down, unlaced his shoes, pulled them and his socks off, rolled up his pants and stepped out of the vehicle into the grass. He waded, dragged his feet, lifted them up and put them down softly. He had blades of grass between his toes, pulled great handsful and washed his feet with it. After being in the grass for half an hour the sky became overcast. The driver said a storm was coming. Mr. Sullivan told him to never mind; that he would be paid for getting wet. A storm did come. It rained torrentially. Through it all Mr. Sullivan stayed in the grass. About two hours after leaving the hotel tie returned with cold feet and a pleasant temper.

It has been a leaning chimney for many years, but in vie of the tenacity and persistence with which it leans one would hesitate to call it a decrepit chimney. This old chimney leans as much as it did when 16th street was only 16th street and no more, when the section over which it leans was generally called Meridian Hill neighborIfood, and before rich men began to build residences in that section. Friends of the crooked chimney felt that in the late storm the end of it had come. They felt that its bricks and mortar and its topping tile would be scattered on the ground. But the chimney never lost a brick. On the west side of 16th street, at the intersection of Columbia road and Mount Pleasant street, is a row of small frame houses.

The chimney leans over the roof of the northernmost of these old houses. Increase in the industrial and commercial activity of the United States during the last Big Gain fiscal year, as in Exports. compand with H 1912, is disclosed by figures made public by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. These show there was a gain of almost 12 per cent, in the value of exports of manufactures, manufacturers’ materials and agricultural products. The increase amounted to $262,000,000, and the total exports this last year were $2,466,000,000. The imports increased almost ten per cent., the gain being $160,000,000, the grand total during the year aggregating sl,813,000,000. Exports of iron and steel manufactures this year amounted to $305,000,000, against $268,000,000 last year, and the total exports of manufactures other than foodstuffs were valued at $1,187,000,000, against $1,020,000,000 in 1912. The copper produced in the first six months this year was $809,000,000 pounds, against 736,000,000 pounds in the same period last year, and the exports of copper and manufactures thereof, exclusive of ore, approximate $140,000,000 this year, against $114,000,000 last year. conversation in the cloakroom having turned from tariff to servants, Senator Warren From Tariff Os Wyoming told to Servants. thla tale: .

Boston Woman Arranging to Erect Model Playhouse. She Aims at Moral Growth —ReadingRoom and Lunch Stand in Rear of Stage Will Aid Comfort of the Performers. Boston, Mass. —Mrs. Josephine Clement, probably the best-known woman theatrical manager in the country, has a scheme for a model theater which she hopes to build within a few months. She has not yet decided where she Will erect the theater, but she has abundant financial backing by persons who have been attracted by her success with the theater of which for several years she has been the manager. It is to be a theater in which every seat will give an unobstructed view of the stage. The cost of a seat will be ten cbnts and the entertainments will be of a type that will have the approval of leaders in the “uplift movement” throughout the United States. “It will be different from anything there is in the United States,” said Mrs. Clement “Only performances of the highest class will be given and the theater will be unique, as it will have light and air on all four sides. “It will have dignified entrances, and everything inside will be arranged for the comfort of the patrons and the actors. “I believe that actors who have brains enough to amuse audiences are entitled to as much as the patrons, and that is why there will be as good an entrance tn the back for them as there is for the public in front “Actors who are satisfied with their surroundings will co-operate with the management, and that means success for the theater.” The Bijou theater, under the direction of Mrs. Clement, has made a feature of moving pictures, and it is her intention to give pictures in her new theater, but they will be of a type different from any now in general use. There will be nothing in them to offend, and they will be entirely free from the weird features which have brought forth clrtlcisms from clergymen all over the world. Mrs. Clement’s idea is to have pictures that will educate and aid in uplift work. “I am going to show pictures that will tend towards moral and intel lectual development,” said Mrs. Clement. “I intend to give one long film, a short one of a humorous nature, two musical numbers and two solos. “My scheme is to have a theater that every one will enjoy attending, and one in which a person will see and hear for ten cents what now Costs not less than half a dollar. Moving pictures sc far have been used to amuse:, to startle the Imagination and to repltduce many things which the public would be better without having seen. These pictures will have no place in my theater.” Mrs. Clement will have the co-op-eration of the Harvard Dramatic society. as she had in her work at the Bijou, and of many clergymen and city officials who have been foremost in the agitation against the moving picture shows that are given in many theaters. Back of the stage will be a readingroom in which the actors can amuse themselves between their acts. There will be a lunchoom, where they will be able to purchase meals at cost. Young men and women will be given an opportunity to begin, at the bottom and work to the top. “I have always taken an interest in young persons,” said Mrs. Clement, “and every day am on the lookout for promising young men and women. I have a theory that most of us can do something pretty well and have proven it since I went into the theatrical business. “A young woman came to me and said that she was a good dancer. I gave her a trial and she was an utter failure. She told me she could play the piano. 1 tried her at this and she was a success. “I had another girl tell me she could sing. She couldn’t, but I found that she was a splendid stenographer. I can find good actors and singers as

The extent of the damage to the Karluk is not known, but it is reported that a large hole was stove in her hull. The Stefansson expedition found unusual ice conditions at Barrow. The Karluk was caught between the ice floes and is drifting with the ice. Aird Henton, a member of the crew, quit at Barrow and told officers of the revenue cutter of the Karluk’s plight.

Centralia, Wash. —Beer and whisky bottles, carelessly thrown to the ground in timbered areas, are apt to cause forest fires, according to the opinion of E. W. Ferris, state fire warden. Mr. Ferris said that fire wardens had been instructed to bury all bottles they saw in order that they may not act as a concentrating medium for the sun’s rays and start fires in dry leaves and moss. “I have had many reports of fires that undoubtedly started in this manner,” said Mr. Ferris, “and I do not doubt in the least the opinion that there is danger from this source.

KIN OFANT EATER South African Animal That Digs Hole and Disappears. Aard-Vark Has Only Rudimentary Teeth With Legs Like Those of the Kangaroo—Specimens Very Hard to Secure. New York. —Did you ever see an aard-vark? asks a writer in the New York World. Perhaps you know it better by its Latin name, orycteropus? No? They haven’t got one in the zoological colection in Bronx park, nor, so far as the writer has been able to learn, in any of the famous zoos or menageries of the world. For the aard-vark is a delicate animal, according to Curator Ditmars, and not easily acclimated. The aard-varth was thought to be a until the Dutch and Englisji began to settle Africa. It was first described by P. Kolbe in 1742 in an account of his travels in Cape but Buffon called in question his description. However, this is known to be accurate. The Paris museum has just received an orycteropus, which it has had stuffed and placed on exhibition. There are three species, and that in Paris is the excessively rare Orycteropus Ethiopicus from the regions of the Blue Nile and Abyssinia. The commonest species is that which is found in eastern and southern Africa as far north as Angola. The third species is peculiar to Senegambia. The aard-vark belongs to the order of Edentata, so called because its members are either toothless or have I only rudimentary or defective teeth. It is a cousin of the ant bears, the armadilloes and the pangolins of South America. It is about six feet long, including the tail, and about twenty inches high. Its back ia arched, its head long and ending in a snout like a pig’s, only sharper and longer. Its forelegs are short, its hind legs much larger, like those of a kangaroo, and its tail is heavy and almost as long as its body. Its ears are long and erect, like an ass’. It has small, piggy eyes, a very thick skin, like a pigjs, covered with sparsely scattered hair, and yellow all over. Its tonge is very long, extensive and always covered with a gummy saliva. It protrudes from a mouth that is little more than a round hole. The young animal has eight molars in the upper jaw and six in the lower, but the adult has only five above and four below, and all of these are rudiamentary. The Ethiopian species lives in the dessert, always near ant hills, for the ants are its food. In the daytime it stays curled up and asleep in a burrow which it closes behind IL It digs a hole even in the hardest ground with incredible rapidity and disappears in a few moments, for the four toes on its front feet are armed with strong claws which it plies rapidly, scooping out the earth and throwing it behind itself in a great cloud of dust. At night it emerges ,and goes out hunting for ant hills. As soon as it has found one it makes sure that no danger is menacing, then it lies down with its snout against the ant hill, puts out its tongue as far as it can and waits. Soon its tongue is covered with ants, caught like flies on sticky flypaper. Then it draws in its tongue, chews up the ants and begins again. It is very timid and so keen of ear that it catches every faint sound. At the slightest alarm it digs a hole and buries itself. It never attacks anything but insects, yet when attacked it defends itself with its powerful claws in away that makes it dangerous. When surprised by the hunter it almost always has its head and shoulders in a hole, and it takes so tight a grip on the earth that if the hunter tries to pull it forth he is almost certain to fail. Its flesh is highly prized in Africa and it is said to taste like pork. It 1* easily tamed in its native land, and in the days of Egypt’s ancient greatness must have been a pet for ladies, as on the tomb of Abd-el-Gournah of the nineteenth dynasty there is graven a picture of a noblewoman with an orycteropus following her like a dog.

NOT BAD FOR AN AMATEUR Youth’s Idea of Paying a Compliment Should Have Given Pleasure to Favored One. He was a very literary young man and never paid much attention to tbo fair sex. But one evening, however, he was calling on a young woman who had succeeded in attracting him as h» had never been before. He was extremely anxious to “make good” and his precious inexperience in the lino of love making he felt keenly at thia particular time. Try as he would, he seemed unable to pay her any direct compliment, until he turned the conversation thus: “I am rather more in favor of th» English than the American mode of spelling.” “Yes?” she returned, rather uninterestedly. “Yes, indeed; take ’parlour,’ for Instance; having /u’ in it makes all tho difference in the world.” Luxury for Ostriches. Dealing with the anti-plumage campaign in England, the Cape Times in. a leading article remarks that: “Were it not for the commercial value of its feathers, the ostrich would today be as rare in civilized South Africa as the hippopotamus. The ostrich is really a much pampered bird, living a life of pure luxury. He is bred and kept in condition merely for the sake of hl* feathers, and generally he lives to » ripe pld age. The feathers are not pulled out from the sockets by th* roots, but are cut with as little pain to the bird as is caused to a sheep by the shearer.” Quite True. He (after a silence) —The moon’* full.
