aggregating some twelve million
bushels, has been available for market
for some time, The Kansas and Ne-
braska crop, totalling ten times as
much its that of the more southern

states, is coming on now. Within a
month the 380 or 400 million bushels
of winter wheat looked for in the
United States as the result of this
year's harvest will be on the market

of all this, prices keep up to high

pire's concentrated navy, so that, by
dealing a quick, powerful blow, it
could worst the enemy at' -the very
outset. This presupposes, -of course,
that if war against Great Britain
breaks out it will come from Germany

ado is certainlyin no slightest danger

our northern neighbor is unthinkable,
War with Japan is almost as remote a
contingency, contingency, and the intervening Pa-
cific is a perfect protection against
from that 'quarter. So that,
while Canada might take a natural
pride in building up a fop navy for
her own defence, it would be a mere
plaything without utility to herself or
to the empire. As an auxiliary to the
British navy it would be of no ac-
count. Nothing but Dreadnoughts
are of any account nowadays.

The production of paper has become
in modern days an immense indnstry;
but while patents have been issued for
the manufacture of paper from barley,
oats, rice, Indian corn, peas, beans,
alfalfa, ramie, pine needles, sugar-
cane, refuse, jute, moss seaweed,
linens, the bark of trees, and even
beets and potatoes, nothing appears
.equal to linen for such manufacture.
Thegreat bulk of the paper now made
p p
is manufactured from the wood of
trees, the point that is of greatest,im-
portance to the papermakers being to
choose vegetable fibers having the
highest percentage of product in pulp.
The maximum product, which is ob•
tamed from such woods as poplar,
does not exceed sixty per cent. Most
of the paper made to -day is inferior to
the paper of old times, because it is so
largely used for ° the purposes for
which perishability is not objection.
able, and cheapness is what is desired.
Insufficient removal of the chemicals
by washing is the cause of deteriora-
tion of most modern paper. Paper is
nowput to numberless uses, includingpart
its employment for wheels, rails, can-
non, horseshoes, gem -polishers, as-
!shafted tubes, anti papier-mache sub-
atitutes for metal, stone and wood,
Even hollow telegraph poles have
been made of paper. The use of paper
in Japan is very extensive, and on the
Continent of Europe, barrels, bottles,
thread, whole houses, and --in Nor-
a church holding one thou-
sand persons, have been made of
paper. The total quantity of paper
made in the world during the current
year would form a cube whose side
would be more than thirty-one and
