DOUBLES IN TEN YEARS Report of Comptroller of Currency In- dicates Past Twelve Months Was a Period of Growth for Banking Insti- tutions—Volume of Business for 1910 Shows Large Gain Over That of 1909. Washington, Dec. 13.—Another year of prosperity and solid growth for American banks is recorded in the annual report of the comptroller of the currency, just presented to con- gress. Not only the national banks, which come directly under the control and supervision of the currency bu- reau, are included in the comprehen- sive review of banking conditions, but state banks, savings banks, trust com- panies and other “financial institu- tions—some 15,950 others—are repre- sented. During the fiscal year of 1910 the combined resources of the 7,000 na- tional banks of the United States grew to approximately $1,000,000,000. On Sept. 1 last their loans and discounts had reached the immense sum of $5,- 400,000,000—an amount never before equaled in the history of the national banking system since its creation in 1864. At the same time they were counting nearly $30,000,000 of over- drafts in their assets, a practice which there is no law to stop. Combining all other banks in the United States and its island posses- sions with those of the national sys- tem, and allowing an estimate for those not reported, it is evident from the comptroller’s report that the bank- ing power of the nation has grown in the last ten years from 13,977 of all sorts of banks, with a capital of $1, 150,000,000 and individual deposits of $7,688,000,000, to more than 27,000 banks with combined capital close to $2,000,000,000 and individual deposits of nearly $16,000,000,000. The depos- its have more than doubled in little more than a decade and in the same time the combined loans and dis- counts have grown to more than $12, 000,000,000. The' volume of business is reflected in reports which have been assembled from 137 clearing house exchanges, showing combined clearings of $169,- 000,000,000 for the year ended on Sept. 30, as against $158,800,000,000 for 1909. NEWSPAPER MAKES CHARGE Says Senator Aldrich Owns Stock in Rubber Trust. New York, Dec. 13.—That United States Senator Nelson W. Aldrich owns between 300 and 400 shares ot stock .in the United States Rubber company, is asserted by the New York World. The paper says there appears on the books cf the rubber trust an entry showing 340 shares of the rubber stock in tne name of the Rhode Isl- and senator and that four other Ald- riches are also named as sharehold- ers. In the latter part of August, reply- ing to the charges of Senator Bristow (insurgent, Kan.), Senator Aldrich is- sued a statement in which he said that: “Neither I nor any member of our family has ever had any pecuniary in: terest as to whether the rates on man ufactures of rubber were 30, 35 or 300 per cent; or whether crude rubber was on the free or dutiable list.” SHOPMEN ‘ON REDUCED TIME Baltimore and Ohio Retrenching Ex- penditures. Baltimore, Dec. 13.—President Wil- lard of the Baltimore and Ohio- rail- road has announced that in view of the growth of expenses out of propor- tion to the increase in business there would be retrenchment of -main- tenance, salaries ‘and all- other expen- ditures. Not more than 40,000 tons of steel rails will be ordered for next year, as against 80,000 tons in 1910. “We have already placed.some of our shops on reduced time,” he said. “With the exception’ only of safety *o passengers. and proper .moving of freight we will consider nothing ;but economy. There are 12,000 stockhold- ers in Germany alone who were in- duced to buy our stock on the distinct representation - that the 6 ,per cent dividend would be maintained and I feel a moral responsibility not to dis- appoint them.” BRAZILIAN = REVOLT ENDED One Hundred and Fifty = Mutineers Killed or Wounded. London, Dec. 13.—The Brazilian ministry received a cable dispatch from Rio Janeiro; stating that loyal government troops were now in com- plete possession of Cebras . island, where a two days’ mutiny of. sailors occurred. Nearly 500 of the mutineers were arrested and 150 - either killed or wounded. —_—— e e T e R R s e e 4 keeper, “and I'm in a great bufry.” S e e Alive Under an Avalanche. 'Human beings occasionally live through incredibly long imprisonments affer their dwellings have been over- whelmed by avalanches. On March 19, 1755, avalanches buried the village of Bergemoletto, in the Italian Alps. and on April 25 three women were dug out alive from a stable in which they had been immured for thirty-seven days in the dark beneath the mass of show which lay forty-two feet higher than the roof. With them had been buried a little boy, six goats, a donkey and some hens. ‘The child, the donkey and the fowls soon ‘died, but the goats' helped ‘the women to ‘survive, their milk supple- menting the thirty or forty cakes ‘and the pocketful of chestnuts upon which they depended for food. Hope of find- ing the women alive had been aban- doned when far in April the brother of one had a dream in which she ap- pealed to him for rescue, The weather then at last made ex- cavation possible, and the women were restored to the world and presently to health.—Chicago News. Dew as Drinking Water. The English administration at Gibral- { tar, where water is very scarce, col- lects dew by the following very sim- ple method: ‘A large pit is dug in the earth and covered with dry wood or straw, which in turn is covered either with earth or with sheet iron. The straw or wood serves as a heat in- sulator and effectually prevents the conduction of heat from the ground to the layer of earth or the sheet iron above. Consequently this earth or iron cools after sunset much more rap- idly than the ground, so that its tem- perature soon falls below the dew point of the surrounding air; hence dew is formed upon the iron or the layer of earth in very large quantities. The water thus obtained is drained off Into reservoirs and after clarification is used for drinking.—Scientific Amer- ican. Sheep as Land Cleaners. In discussing the value of sheep on a country place their service as land cleaners sbould not be ignored. They like pasture grasses, but they seem to like weeds and bushes even better for, browse. They will often clean up an old field in a year or two, so that what was a tangle or unsightly weeds and shrubs will appear a smooth shaven lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at this sort of thing. but the common, everyday sheep of the ordinary breed will do mighty good work if you con- fine her to her job and put in enough of her. Five years ago one small pas- ture of mine was a veritable chaparral of thorn bushes and solidago. 1 set the ewes in it, and today it’s as pretty a bit of sward as there is on the ranch —bushless and weedless and thick turfed.—Country Life In America. Soon Tired of His Books. The 7,000 volumes of chronicles and travels from which Gibbon distilléd the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” were purchased by Beckford after the writer’s death. *“I bought it.”” said the author of *“Vathek.,” “‘to have something to read when I passed through Lausanue.” There were few rarities in the collection. but most of the ‘authors were in the best obtain: | able editions and in perfect condition. The fastidious Gibbon was incapable of behaving disrespectfully to a book., For six weeks Beckford reveled in his purchase and read himself nearly blind. He soon tired of his books, however, and presented the whole collection to a German physician named Schell. The recipient showed his appreciation of the treasure by promptly selling it. Not Moved by Kindness. A stout woman entered a crowded car and took hold of a strap directly in front of a man seated in the corner. As the car started she lunged against his newspaper and trod heavily on his toes. As soon as he could extricate himself he rose and-offered her his seat. “You are very kind, sir,” she said. panting for breath. “Not at all, madam,” he replied. “It’s not kindness. It’s simply self de- fense.” Headed Him Off. “8ir, 1 bave grown gray in your sérvice,” began the old bookkeeper pre- liminary to asking for a raise. ) “l was intending to speak to yeu about that.” responded the head of the firm. “Get a bottle of hair dye.

Presently in sprang two || whopping big Bengal tigers, as big as ever grew. They rolled and sprawled and romped all over the court, growl- ed, spit and struck at each other. All the time the rajah slyly snd snakily stole glances at Clive to see if it would scare him green white, After a little the tigers were driven out. Clive smoked his cheroot all the while, Birds and Lightning. ’ Birds are sometimes struck by light- ning. Darwin. records the case of a wild duck that he saw struck by a bolt while flving. It was killed in- stantly and fell to the ground. But birds seem to know . instinctively that lightning is to be feared. That per- baps is why they seek shelter in thun- derstorms.
