At the end of June the timber sales were close to 600,000 standard: which: is considerably more tha: half of the normal yearly output. The export of matches is 95 per cent of the pre-war normal, and it is en- couraging that the export of iron ore, has even surpassed pre-war figures by three per cent. As regards wood pulp and paper, which America buys from Sweden in large quantities, the figures for the month exceed the 1918 figures for the corresponding month by 18 to 72 per cent. Inci- dentally it is reported that one rea- son why the quotations on sulphite pulp are high is the increased de- mand from the United States for t manufacture of artificial silk. News print, which is shipped, in great vol- ume to America, shows an export fig- ure 72 per cent above that of 1913. In the line of manufactured: in- dustrial products the quantity of electrical machines and apparaut ball , bearings, and telephon nearly three times tnat! of June, 1913. Cream, separators and motors have risen to 59 per cent of the pre- war figure. A similar indication of prosperity is seen in the increased imports of raw, material needed for Swedish in- dustries. American dealers\ in, cop- per will, be interested’ to, know that Sweden’s imports of that.mets! have reached 84 per cent of the pre-war figures. ya We ie Taking Water on Run Discomfort to Hobo Travel Chicago, Sept. —The modern method of “taking water on the run by. fast. passenger. trains from troughs between the tracks, now.in vogue qn most, of the larger. line great, to faat transportation great discomfort to the tramp travelers, Cases, of. extreme discomfort and, in some cases, actual. suffering by the. “blind baggage” travelers are related, in a recent issued of. the, Pennayl- vania News, publication of the Penn- sylvania Lines, “The water. pouring over the tender top will soar the atray wayfarer from head to foot and may po him off,” the article » tramp, knocked unconsciot that the locomotive. had run into the river. ant “On extremely: cold: nights: victi ! have been frozen. : The ‘regulars’. in the hobo world know where the track troughs’ are located and crawl gp on the coal pile to avoid. being: soaked.

Hundreds. of carven im- ages, mostly of imaginary royal fig- ures, have been unable to withstand the ravages of the weather, combined with the smoke-laden London atmos- phere. They suffer also from the lack of respect shown them by hun- dreds of pigeons which roost on the sceptres and sharpen their beaks on noses of kings, Scarcely a day passes but a mon- arch’s hand or toe falls into Palace Yard.

Thus may one man in a day uncrown scores of kings. Sir John Gilmour, who represents the government department that looks after public buildings, is of the opinion that none of the kings or other distinguished folk will. be allowed to stick it out much longer on the outer walls of Parliament. “I think the day will come before long,” |{ he says, “when all the statues will have to be taken away. The situation does not agree with them.” U.S. TO.
