The motor world is conscious of the fact cheaper fuel is necessary to main- tain and keep attractive the horseless carriages now owned by every tenth family in some sections of New Eng- land, and every fifth family in some parts of the west. Gasoline In the past five years has quadrupled in price, and is still ris- ing with no definite Umit in sights, hence, gasoline must be re-enforced with something cheaper, it even it somewhat reduces the combustability and lessens the power of the present engines. We learn from English exchanges that a new automatic paraffin attach- ment for use efther with a switch or a zenith carburetter has been invent- ed, which reduces the petrol four- fifths without seriously impairing the efficlency of the power, the per cent. of paraffin being 80 to 20 per cent. of petrol. There will have to be a move made this side of the Atlantic to meet he crying nced for a dependable, cheaper fuel for motor carriages be- fore lonz. COST OF |LET'S SAFEGUARD OUR TIMBER.

Germany has tried to negotiate pri- vately with France and with Russia for e scparate peace that she mizht deal with England. but the pact be- tween the entente nations is firmer than ever. Peace could be negotiated with Ger- many at once: but entente pro- poss to dictate peace on their own terms and to fight to that end as the only means of securing a lasting peace. Germany is resourceful and stubborn andithis is the reason the war is like- iy to‘last for a year or two more. v PROSPERITY. For a nation thers is no such thing #s permanent prosperity.

What Vanderbilt said about the American people finely expresses the democratic attitude toward civil ser- vice. Fortunes are always turning out to be smaller than they were thought to be; but there is no room for com- plaint, America has wheat enough, but it hasn’t honor epough nor law enough to keep it cheap for the American people. Those who know say a mule was never broken vet without talking to him. Talk may be cheap, but it is effective. The unparalelled exports of this ad- ministration was not the result of an economic policy, but the result of an unparalelled war. A great dollar fund for Wilson is a democratic campalgn scheme. That assures $100,000 from civil service sources all right. e The government machinery works to suppress strikes, but it doesn’t work to check speculators even when they have o strangie hold upon the people. An Tllinols women saw herself in the tax list for $400. She wrote: Make it $20.000. Mere man would not have murmured over an error of that kind. The way Horace Johnson beats the ‘Washington weather predictions is by refererice to the old Farmers' Alma- nac. Horace knows a good thing when he sees it. - Any expedition to punish a foe which is a worse punishment to Americans is non-effective and leaves a false impression. This is the way iWilson is impressing the Mexicans. .

It forms at times the princi diet of Liuefish. swordfish, squetea mackerel, Sparish mackerel, etc., 2 often when iwe eat these fishes we really consuming _transformed men- haden. The abundance or scarcity of menhaden in a given season or on a given part of the coast may determine the abundance or scarcity of various important food fishes: and for this reason, in addition to its immedi value to man, it has by some persons been regarded as the most important fish on the Atlantic Coast of the United States ome idea of the abundance of menhaden and the magnitude of the fishery may be gathered from the fact that in 1912 more than one billion fish were caught and converted into over six and a half million gallons of oil nd nearly ninety thousand tons of fertilizer, valued at three and a_ half million dollars. These fish, if placed end to end, would have extended in an unbroken line six times around the earth at the equator, and their weight exceeded that of ail the inhabitants of Greater New York. “Among the fishery products which America is preeminent, th most* conspicuous is the oyster. This, our most important aquatic resource, is not only more valuable than in any other country, but more valuable than in all other countries combined. The American oyster has the further dis- tinction of being a staple food of com- paratively low price, while in prac- in tically every other country having a weil-developed oyster industry the oyster is a high priced luxury. Its commanding position is shown in the facts that it is a commercial commod- ity in_every coastwise State except two -(Maine and New Hampshire): that it is the leading fishery product in fifteen States, and that it is the most_extensiveiy cultivated of all our aquatic animals. The annual oyster crop of the United States is about 35,000,000 bushel; “The salmon resources of the Pa- cific States are among the natural wonders of the Western I emisphere, but they now take rank after those of Alaska, whose fisheries as a_whole have experienced their remarkable de- velopment and attained their present surpassing importance chiefly because of the salmons. Since Alaska became a part of the national domain, the total value of the product taken from the waters of the territory up to the present vear has been nearly $300,000,- 000; the fishery reached its climex in_ 1915, with a valne of $21,000.000, which is three times the purchase price of Alaska. “The ample experfence of _private fish culturists in all parts of the coun- try confirms the opinfon often ex- pressed by national and State fishery officials, that under given condltions aquiculture may be more profitable than agriculture; that an acre of the best water may yleld larger returns than an acre of the best land, and that food supplies of untold volume and value may be expected from what are now unused waters” {stony banl of the Rhine.
