In fact, the Pacific Ocean is only
just beginning to be known and under¬
stood. Within the next generation it
will take a position in the world's de¬
velopment commensurate with its ex¬
panse and surroundings. Up to the
present time it has been merely great
and picturesque. The future will, how¬
ever, bring to it a supremacy as com¬
manding as its enormous size, says the
Washington Post.
There has always been a lower per¬
centage of divorces among men en¬
gaged in agricultural pursuits than in
any other calling, not excepting the
clergy, says the Baltimore American.
Soldiers, sailors and marines, on the
other extreme, show the highest aver¬
age of marriage infelicity. Next
among the high averages come the
hostlers, the actors, agricultural lab¬
orers, bartenders, servants and wait¬
ers, musicians and teachers of music,
photographers, paper-hangers, barbers,
lumbermen, and so on, diminishing in
ratio until the lowest average is reach¬
ed, as before stated among the far¬
mers.
Gilbert H. Grosvenor, in his article,
“The New Method of Purifying. Wa¬
ter,” in the Century, says: After we
have once sterilized a typhoid-infect¬
ed reservoir, how can we prevent the
water from being invaded by more
germs coming down the stream
whence the first came? is the natural
question of the reader at this point.
We might repeat our dose every few
hours, or, better yet, we might suspend
large sheets of copper at the intake
of the reservoir. The toxic action of
the copper sheets would he strong
enough to prevent any live typhoid
germs from getting in. Of course, the
sheets would have to he kept clean;
any slimy coating on their surface
would interfere with the toxic action
of the metal.
It is suggestive to consider the re¬
lations of Mexico to the new power in
the Far East, remarks the Mexican
Herald. Mexican diplomacy early
made a notably liberal treaty with
Japan, and that convention has been
followed by a treaty with China. In
a word, Mexico with great sagacity
prepared the way for useful relations
with the rising powers across the Pa¬
cific. One can imagine many new con¬
ditions in the Pacific Ocean thirty
years hence; "Japan, with a powerful
fleet, will insist on keeping a naiauce
of power there, and China, led by Ja¬
pan, will reinforce this demand. The
friendly Oriental nations will desire
the prosperity and independence of
Mexico, a nation with a racial base
similar to theirs. Mexico opens her
doors to Oriental immigration, beoause
she needs labor, and can assimilate
the Asiatics better than the northern
nations of the continent. Thus a new
link is forged in the great chain which
wise diplomacy began. It is well that
Mexico should extend her friendships,
that she should enlarge her circle of
relationships. She has her own des
tiny to work out.
The world’s commerce in the latest
year for Which statistics are available,
says Harper’s Weekly, as noted in the
report of the Chief
re&u of Statistics of the
^
of Commerce and Labor, shows the
total exports of all nations of the
world to be, in the latest year avail¬
able, $10,515,000,000, and the value of
the total Imports of all nations, $11,-
809,000,000. This would give the totaf
value of the world’s imports and ex¬
ports combined as $22,324,000,000; but
since all articles which were counted
as exports became In turn Imports
when they entered the country of des¬
tination, it would appear that the ac¬
tual value of the articles entering into
international commerce is, in round
terms, $11,000,000,000. The value of
the articles forming the Internal com¬
merce of the United States is estimat¬
ed at about 22 billions of dollars In a
single year. Thus, while it has been
customary to speak of the internal
commerce of the United -States as
equal to the entire international com¬
merce of the world, it appears from
this statement that the actual value of
the merchandise entering into the ip
ternal commerce of the United States
is practically twice as great as that
entering the international commerce
of the world.
FLOWERS COLORED TO ORDER.
By a Very Simple Method Most Beau¬
tiful Effects Have Been Obtained.
We know that horticulturists create
almost at will wild flowers of varied
colors by practicing forced culture,
artificial selection and hybridization,
in this way obtaining a very extended
scale of colors. Still, in any case,
the color of the flower, although it is
possible to give birth to millions of
varieties, can only be modified within
certain limits. With reference to this
fact the colors of flowers have been
divided inte two great categories, the
xanthic series-yellow, yellowish
green, orange, red—and the cyanic
series—blue, indigo, violet. Never
has a flower of the first series passed
into the second, nor nas the reverse
taken place; never has a garden
matter how clever he may be,
able to obtain, blue roses.
The florist?, however, obtain
color. The method of ihe florists is
that classic one which has been long
employed on the case- of violets, for
example, making them green with am¬
monia, white with vapors of sulphuric
acid, etc. In this case, however, it is
the coloring matter of the flower itself
which is modified, although in the
production of green carnations the
method adopted is that of artificially
introducing coloring matter into the
tissues of the plant, the coloring mat¬
ter than being incorporated into the
petals.
When the first green carnations ap¬
peared in Paris the city was seized
with astonishment, and many persons
willingly paid as much as 40 cents
apiece for the flowers. The municipal
authorities instituted an investiga¬
tion and soon discovered how tne
flowers were colored. It appeared that
a young girl accidentally poured into
the water of a vase containg white
carnations coloring matter with which
she was painting a rose leaf green.
What was her astonisnment to see
the carnations lose their white color
and.assume a beautiful green tint;
from this to the regular manufacture
of the flowers was only a step.
All plants, however, do not lend
#
thmselves in an equal manner to
these vagaries. The carnation, hya¬
cinth, orange flower, gilly flower, iris,
chrysanthemum, and cameiia are the
most easily colored, and in this re¬
spect it is amusing to experiment with
the many hues that can be obtained.
It is only necessary to prepare a
coloring solution, then cut the stem
of the flower and place it in the solu¬
tion. The plant draws up the water,
and little by little the coloring matter
is distributed throughout the plant’s
tissues. A common gilly flower placed
in a solution of light- green analine
dye is quickly transformed, at the
end of twenty minutes the white parts
being blue, the yellows green, and the
reds violet.—Cosmos.
