IK3ULTS TO , THE GREAT STREAM r)oan- Miniua Begaa by Treating it t.Itie a Trout Stream Motor Boat ae l tk Raplda Propoaed 1r Thta Summer. : . 1 AGAHA FALLS, Feb. 2C.-People with in act leal mlnda leem bent on stripping l.'ie cataract of Niagara, its rapids and the whirlpool of some of the attributes they ti.,e had. There will always be people no will regard aa fact the story of th maiden's sacrifice; who will persist In be ll fig that it wan a yearly custom of the Indian trlbas UvIiik in the vicinity of the fia to sacrifice the prettiest maidens of their tribes to the tod that was Niagara, liut within the last ten of fifteen year! many things have occurred at Niagara of dbslpate the domanca of the cataract. . 8oniLthlng of a shock was felt when the engineers got busy and drove part of the river into .the factories to turn wheels. People hud said It could not be done and when it was done the awe that Niagara Inspired was a bit lessened. Kevttral times natural agencies have taken liberties with the river have stem filed the mighty current as If It were no more than a mllliace. In 1848 Or there abouts the running Ice from Lake Erie helped by a stlrf wind piled the waters buck on themselves and Niagara went dry at the catumtt. and again In April of last jear It was damniud so that men antj women croKed from Prospect park to (Jreiii Island. liut even before the engineers and the lat tx dam was Bowiy Siiiims. To her mora than any other, agency Is due credit for stripping Niagara of Its rimtnci of Irresistible powor. ' itossy Simma was a. mere cow, a Dur ham to Judgn by her picture. Her owner was the oupurintemtent of the Inclined railway In' Prospect park before the days of fiee Niagara and lived within catch of the spray from the falls. Bossy came to the park aa a calf. Untrammelled with the prejudices of ordinary visitors she went to the river as to a trout stream. Frequently in summer time she went to wade In the river from near Prospect Point with no thought of ("anger and there slake her thirst, greatly to the amassment of the people that gathered In the park at 50 cents apiece to be stunned with wonder at the might and majesty of the cataract Naturally there was a public protest and many disillusioned demanded their money back: Bossy Slmms had spoiled the show from them. "Pooh," they, cried, "this Is a fake! Fourteen miles to see this!" , This was about 1S60. ; This plotur of Bosny Blmms was taken whtn she was standing within 100 feet of the brink of the American fall,. Soon after the public protect her owner withdrew her to the quiet of a country lot. She had no bovine successors In the park. But she had an Imitator In the person of Amos Schweitzer, a shoemaker of Toronto, Out., who on June 6, 1906, made a perfect show of the cataract. For fully forty-flva minutes he stood in the stream, soma twenty feet from the brink and thirty-five feet out from Prospect Point, his ' bat cocked over his ear and a can In his hands, this between 1: and 1:16 a. m., with the tremendous . beauty of Niagara set forth under a dassllng moon. He waa ar reted as he stood at the brink by a po liceman, Harry Batta of this city. Then there was Mrs. Anna Edson Taylor, who successfully made a trip over the Horseshoe fall In a barrel. Pretty much the same Jlbert.es have been taken with the rapids and the whirl pool. Doubtless rflany Indians attempted the rapids trip In canoea and doubtleas all went to their death In the journey. So there came from their people extravagant tales of Its terrors. But In lM'.l the romances received a te vre Jolt when the Maid of the Mist, a tub of a vessel, went careening down the stream from the foot of the fulls to Lake Ontario with Joel Robinson at the wheel, to escape levy, suffering no Injury except the loss of Its smokestack, which was kicked off by a wave. Then came Captain Matthew Webb. ho In 18S3 tried to swim the raplda and was killed In the attempt, his head coming In contact with a submerged rock. The Inter est that his feat aroused brought to Niagara other venturesome spirits, most . of them barrel navigators,' Graham and Haslett and Potts in the vanguard. All made the trip through the tumble of waters -without mishap, one among the number a woman, Sadla Allen. . Some ten years after the first barrel fleet had sailed through a second fleet came down the river. Of the score that entered for honors only one waa killed, a woman who waa sufflcated In her barrel In the whirlpool through slow work on the part of her supporters on shore. It was even deolared that Thomaa Kendall, a Boston policeman, swam the rapids In the '80s, but his right to fame has not gone unchallenged. The coming - summer promises unusual things In Niagara feats. There has already been offered a purse of fl.OOO and a M0 trophy for a. motor boat; race through the rapids; the whirlpool and down to, Lewis ton, where the rlber broadens to a calm commercial stream. Fifteen . adventurers have announced their Intention of trying for fame and fortune tn the race. -It la declared that a motor boat stoutly built and having powerful engines can make the trip without mis-adventure. Peter Neimen of Chicago some years ago went safely through tn a small steel craft, suffering only a wetting. Tha only difficulty that threatens la official Interference on one side of the other of tha river. "Thera won't be anything left to do. pretty soon, but swim up the falls." said old Tom Dillon, the dean of hackmen, when told of tha projected race. - Pointed Paragraphs. The early worm should keep late hoars. Better a budding genius than a blooming Idiot. , 7 A graveyard la the laat measure a man resorts to. Marriage is either a success, a fallura or a compromise. The beauty of some women la enough to give a man painter's collo. It takes a child to make a wise man feel Ilk an Ignorant fool. Flatter a man if you want him to have Imr.lllet faith In your Judgment When It comes to Jealousy and crowing a man can put it all over a rooster. An egotist Is merely a, man who Is un able to disguise the Interest ha feel In himself. , And nom men treat their wlvea all right because tha wlvea decline to stand for any other treatment.

FINDS PLACES TO SELL GOODS Abundaace of Valuable Information Distrlbated by Department Which Is Hampered hy Lack at , Funds, WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. The annual re port of the chief of the bureau of manu factures reveal Home Important facts con cerning the work of that branch of the De partment of Commerce and Labor. As the business men of the country become batter acquainted with tne work of this bureau their demands on It greatly Increase. Last year there was an Increase of 3$ per cent In the number of letters written in reply to "inquiries, and io far this year the In crease has been much greater. . A recent pamphlet Issued by (he bureau relating to packing for export and for inland trans portation has aroused such Interest that many thousands of copies have been cir culated and requests for it still come in at tha rate of fifteen or twenty a day. A list of tome of the numerous subjects on which Informs ion was sought during tbe last year la fc.vrn, Indicating the wide extent to which calls arc made upon the bureau for information. The "Foreign Trade Opportunl.ies," through which busi ness concerns are made acquainted with opportunities offered In furelgn ' countries for 'the sale of American products, has grown to such an extent that nearly 10.0 JO letters were written In that 'branch of the bureau's work last year. Many valuable contracts have been awarded to American manufacturers aa a result of the publica tion of these trsde opportunities. This hus an effect of Increasing the exports of manufactures. Thosa resdy for consump tion amounted to 17 per cent of the total shipments abroad last year. Trade Directory. 1 ' Tha International trade directory which tho bureau has been engaged In preparing now numbers several hundred thousand names, classified according to the particu lar business In which engaged, so as to make the names readily accessible to manufacturers and merchants seeking per sons abroad to handle their goods. The list Is extensively used now, but the bureau has not a sufficient force to copy alt of tha names requested, and It la hoped that congress will authorise the publication of the books and its distribution under such regulations as the department may pre scribe. Attention Is called to the efforts of for eign governments to extend trade In a manner similar to that of the bureau of manufactures. As a result of the limited appropriations the bureau Is unable to do anything like as much as could be done if It had sufficient money to work with. Mention la made of the work of the British government and also of the work of some oTher governments-In this line. The Brltvi lsh office sends out -commercial attaches and trade commissioners and has trade correspondents In various parts of the world. The commercial ettaor.es 'nd con sular officers are required to visll the chief manufacturing and commercial centers of the United Kingdom from time to time. In order to become better acquainted with the kind of Information which It la desirable to fut-nlsh for the benefit of the British trade. It la recommended that some simi lar method be followed in the United States. Experts Kept Busy. The British government has appointed a number of permanent "trade commission ers" to do work similar to that done by yie social agents of the United States. In addition missions for the purpose of extending foreign trade are sont to foreign countries, but the result of their work Is not made1 known to the general public, and Is conveyed only to certain chambers of commerce and private firms "likely to be Interested." The British government require each person designated to serve as a consul to spend three months' time tn the commercial-Intelligence branch of the Borud of Trade, In order to become properly equipped for the Work. Major Carson, chief of the bureau of manufac tures, thinks It would greatly benefit tha consuls if they were required to spend at least a month's work in the bureau of manufactures. Attention Is called to the defect that now exists In the system of securing oommerw clal Information from t! Philippine Islands, Haw-alt, Alaska and Porto Rico. No reports come from these possessions, although Information Is often requested by manufacturers and others. Special mention Is aiade of the effective work done through f special agents who report on trade conditions, etc. These agents vlalt all parts of the world and supply Information not otherwise obtain able. Their usefulness, It Is stated, would be further enhanced If provision were made by which they could spend a part of their time, when in 'this country, In contact (with the commercial organizations and manufacturing associations, not only to give Information, but to secure sugges tions useful In Investigations conducted abroad. In Tariff Division. The work of tho tariff division is con stantly Increasing and the demands for Information multiply rapidly, although the appropriation for this work la very lim ited. It Is recommended that provision be made for a larger force In this division so aa to translate promptly foreign tariffs and provide for thetr distribution among business men In the United States. During the last year reports of tha tariff, division were published covering forty-nine coun tries and dependencies. More than 1.600 Inquiries were received laat year In re gard to the tariff rates of foreign coun tries to which goods are shipped. Attention Is called to the twenty-seven In ternational expositions to be held during the currant year and the Importance to this country of making use of such oppor' tunltles to display goods. The British gov ernment hus established a speclsl division In the Board of Trade to look after Brit ish commercial Interests at foreign expo sitions, and to arrange for securing ad vantageous positions for British exhibits and their proper display and exploitation. This official activity and supervision has proved highly beneficial to British manu facturers by Increasing their sales abroad. With the exception of the United States, every commercial nation of Importance has organised a permanent commission to look after International expositions. A list of the expositions to be held In foreign coun tries this year Is given In ths report. ' Attention Is called to tha fact' that some of the consuls do not make any consular ST reports, though tho lumber received ni M Is much larger than formerly. The annu 1 ' roport, . known as the "Commercial ReJa tlons," Is delayed by the tardiness of soma of the consuls. To prevent the long delay In the Issue of. the annual consular reports. In 1907 they were printed In pamphlet form by' countries. This enabled the bureau to Issue the reports from any country very soon after they were received. But by holding them for an annual publication J they are all delayed for a year. It w recommended that the method of printing those reports by countries be permanently adopted. L' The circulation of Dally Consular and Trade Reports has Increased so rapidly that the fulv number authorized by law Is now being printed and hundreds of names have been cut off from the mailing list Inorder to substitute those of manufac turers asking for the reports. Even then only a small percentage of the manufac turers of the United State can be accom modated. Effective work haa been 'done In the way of circulating "Confidential Circulars," relating to special business opportunities offered In foreln markets. Many foreign contracts have resulted from the Informa tion conveyed In these official circulars and bulletins. It Is recommended that the systsm used by some foreign countries of charging for publications the cost Of print ing be adopted. In the last fiscal year manufactures and materials for manufactures combined formed 74.14 per cent of the Imports and 72.7 of Ihe exports. There la rapid In crease In the exports of manufactures ready for consumption, though comparatively little Is done by our government as com pared with European nations, to promote exports of manufactures. I I fees Ills Kara for l'ure. Edward Morris, a real estate operator of Stamford. Conn., recently became tired of dlpglng Into his pockets everytlme ha wanted a coin and tried to dlsi-over some more convenient place to carry his small change.

At first la was rather uukwurd. but now Mr. Morris Is used to it. lie finds the new scheme particularly useful in cold weather. New York World
