rOPOGRAPHIC MAPS ANO WAR
, Pilfering Is irtlll a great prob'em In the case of merchandise shipped to ^rts on the west coast of South Amer¬ ica. At several ports the extent of the evil has been greatly lessened as a re- |«alt of insurance embargoes on goods destined for those ports or In response •to constant complaint on the part of the consignees, srcordlng to Commerce Reports. In Mollendo pilfering, so far as Bolivian goods are concerned, has been re<luced to small proportions In eonseqnence of an agreement between the Peruvian and Bolivian govern¬ ments which provides for the prompter dispntrh of morchandlRC for Bolivian destination. Nevertheless, the prob¬ lem of pilfering remains a serious one at practically every port on the west coast
Formerly It waa the fashion to say thnt mnrh of tbe pilfering took plnce In the Panama Canal Zone, and thero was probably some basis for tbe atate- Wnt in the dnys when trafllc through the cnnal was stopped by the slides In Oalllnrd cut and freight was badly congested at Colon and Balboa. It Is probably true, however, that even In those times much of the loss attributed i to pilfering was due to unusual hand¬ ling or exposure. Since traffic through | the canal hns been resumed on a nor- | mal basis the loss from pilfering In the Cnnal Zone has been reduced to an almost negligible point. |
Goods trans-shipped to Colon and Bnlboa are stored In pier sheds Imme¬ diately upon discharge. The sheds aro large, well built, fireproof, and cnn be easily guarded and protected. Both In the discharge from ship to pier and In the reloading from pier to ship the Panama Railroad company exercises strict supervision over all operations, since it has charge of all port faclli- I ties nnd does most of the stevedoring. To protect Itself agnlnst claims for loss the railroad company long since Insti¬ tuted an elaborate checking system. Checkers not only take account of tbe Burober and weight of cases and pack¬ ages loaded or unloaded on tbe piers but also note the condition of the con- j talners as they pass over the piers and put aside for careful Inspection cases that appear to be underweight or to have been tampered with. In many in¬ stances pilfering can be detected by a difference In the recorded weight and the weight on arrival In Panama, thongh pilferers are clever enough, as a rule, to substitute articles of the same weight for those they have ab¬ stracted.
Moreover, a number of watchmen and detectives are employed by the Pannma Railroad company. Some of the detectives work as dock laborers. The watchmen cannot be in all parts of tbe pier sheds, nnd In a far comer of a shed or a hold the stevedores may handle a case with such roughness as to cause it to break open, enabling Its contents to be easily curried off. De¬ tectives can exert an effective restrain¬ ing Influence In such cases.
It Is clear, then, that the precautions against pilfering In the Punamu Canal Zone are extensive nnd effective and thnt tbe source of the pilfering must be sought for elsewhere.
Orawlngs Qivs Leaders a Cemprehen-
slve View of the Important
Qeographle Relatlena
It has bcpn said that many of the battles of the Civil war would never hava been fought had fhere been topo¬ graphic maps, for tbose in command could have studied a map of tbe coun¬ try about them and th»>y wonld never hnve subjected their men to such marches ns wore mnde nnd then hnve pipected thoir men to flght, states a student of military engineering. But topogrnphy In Its generni sen.^e nnd os It is shown todny on the maps of the u'pologlrnl survey wns little known In Ihe sixties. The engineer corps of the nrmy wns highly efficient, even nt tli.-it time, but the topogrnphlc engineer did not appear in the Amerlcnn army until Augu.st G, ISfll, when nn act of con- cress HUthorlzed thp pnllstmpnt of opp '¦nmpany nf topographic engineers. This compnny wa.s nftprward merged into the corps of engineers.
Today within the wide boundaries of nur country, which embrnces more thnn n.Wlfl.OOO square miles, there are a hun¬ dred million people. They live on fnrms. In vlllnge.s nnd In towns and clflpR. Their dwelling places may hr sppnrnted by brood rivers nnd rugged iiuMiiitnlns, but the u.se of tbe topo- ^'niphic mnp Is gradually knitting Ihem sy.sfomatlcnlly together, and at Miiy time flmt this widespread popula¬ tion mny he required to move In con- '¦ertpd notion for a common cause the topogrnphlc map will give the leodor.s n comprehensive view of the geo¬ graphic rolntlons. so thnt the problem Ilf moving cnn be solved more quickly nnd with better Judgment Tbe topo- prnphlc mnp, It Is pointed out by ex- r)prt8 of tbe survey, like the telephone and the typewriter, hns become a ne¬ cessity, and we wonder now bow we hnve ever done without It
The "marj In the street" may have thought little of the vnlue of the work of the topographic engineer, and to him nnd others who have not considered the importnnce of that work some Il¬ lustrations of Its value might be In¬ teresting.
A well-known author, soldier and topographic engineer fonnd tbe topo- ernphlc maps of the survey indispensa¬ ble In every branch of his work. By studying a country before going Into It he became so familiar wltb the de¬ tails of many Interesting features of which the natives hud never heard that his stories acquired a realism thnt oould not have been infused into them hnd he dwelt In the country a lifetime.
Again, 15 cents spent by a reclama¬ tion engineer In connection wltb a privnte engineering project saved bis compnny $3,000 and established a pro¬ ject which would never have seemed possible hnd not the three topographic mnps he purchased given him a com¬ prehensive view of several hundred square miles of country, where the dralnnge problems are most Intricate nnd delicate. Many such examples are cited by offlclnls of the survey.
Salaries Are Increased.
Owing to the great advance In the cost of living, the local government hns Increased the salaries of all Its em¬ ployees wbo were paid under 1,800 escudoc ($1,945) per annum. The In¬ creases In some cases have amounted to 45 per cent, writes Consul John F. Jewell, Lourenco Murques, Portuguese East Africa.
The resultant excess of expenditure over the budget estimate for salaries Is In round figures $313,200. As the budget could not bear any additional expenditure without u deficit tbat Would embarrnss at present and In fu¬ ture hinder the development und the progress of the province of Mozum- iblque, to meet this new expense Item the government has Increased the fees for licenses for bars, canteens, kiosks, etc., the telegraph und telephone rates, and the export tax on sugar und has established a "military" tux. Increused revenue Is expected from these meus- ures as follows: Export tux on sugar, $210,000: telegraph and telephone i rates, $27,000; other tuxes and fees, $40,000. ^
Need Parcel Pott Facllitiet.
One of the most urgent necessities in behalf of the American export trade wltb Paraguay Is tbe establish¬ ment of a large parcel post system with this country, writes Consul Henry H. Bnlch, Asuncion. As there are very few large distributing houses In Par¬ aguay practically all tbe Important mercantile establishments Import their goods direct from the foreign mar¬ kets, and ns many of the orders are smnll or for goods that do not occupy much space the parcel post is exten¬ sively used by the average Paraguay¬ an Importer.
A good percentage of the large trade that Germany, England, and France had with this country at the beginning of the wnr was developed through the parcel post system that those coun¬ tries maintain with Paraguay. Mer¬ chants frequently state that they would turn much of their trade to the United States which hns hitherto gone to Europe If there were a parcel post convenience. In fact parcel post or¬ ders from the United States are rath¬ er frequently received by Asuncion merchnnt.s through third parties lo¬ cated In Buenos Aires. J
Bermuda Potato Crop. It is estlinuted that the Triumph or fall crop of potatoes which will be reaped in Bermuda will be 82,500 bushels, according to Vice Consul StlU- •man W. Ellis, nanillton. This Is less jby 8,000 bushels than the full crop of 11918, In spite of the fuct that more acreuge wus pinnted to potatoes the past year. Tbe reason given for this Iby the director of agriculture is that j"tbe earlier plantings huve been af- Ifected by unfavorable seusous uud will inot produce a normul crop. The fields I planted later give promise of good j yields."
Holland's Foreign Trade.
The "In- en Ultvoer" publishes the following analysis of Dutch for¬ eign trade during the flrst half of 1917:
The value of the leading articles Imported Into Holland from Germany, or rather, of those articles which are Included in the official figures of the central bureau of statistics ("Muund- stutlstlek vun den In- en Ultvoer en vnn bet Entrepotverkeer"). In the flrst quarter of the year was 25,365.107 flor¬ ins (about $10,400,000 ut exchange of $0.41), and. In tbe second quarter, 45,- 284,006 florins (about $18,567,000), a total of 70,649,713 florins in the flrst six months of 1017. The value of the chief articles exported to Germany was 49,247,575 florins (about $20,101,600) In the flrst quarter and 62,841,202 flor¬ ins (about $21,6tJ5,000) tn the second, or 102,088,777 florins for the half year. Thus, in the flrst quarter Holland sent almost twice as much to Germany as It received, but in the second quarter the Import trade v 1th Qermany almost balanced the export trade.

RAISINS AND WINE
Important Products of the Fa¬ mous Malaga District!.
lyinee Not trained en Arber% but Pruned to Form Bushes Cover¬ ing About One Square
The two principal varieties of grapes grown In the Malaga district nre tho muscatel and the Pedro Xlmen. Rais¬ ins and wine are both made here from the muscatel and wine from tbe Pedro Xlmen, observes a correspondent.
Tbe vines are not trained on arbors, but are pruned to form bushes that I cover an area of about one square yard at harvest time. The vines are set out In rows ten fcPt apart I>nring the spring and summer they are carefully cultl ated and sprayed with sulphate of copper to destroy Insects. The grapes begin to ripen about the flrst of August. Laborers with large flat baskets or trays gather the fruit It Is not all cut out at one time, but the .field Is gone over periodically and only the ripe clusters are cut from the vine with scissors.
The raisins produced near Malaga are not treated with sulphur, lye, or oil, as is the practice In other parts of Spain. In or near tbe grape field there is thrown up an earth terrace Inclined toward the setting sun. This is divided Into sections about ten yards long and twelve yards wide, around which a low brick or stone wall is built to protect the raisins and to sup¬ port the canvas stretched over them at night or during Inclement weather. The object of this slanting surface is to keep the sun constantly shining upon it. The bottoms of the drying beds are covered with flne gravel to retain the heat
Immediately after being gathered, the grapes are spread out on tbe beds for exposure to the burning sun. At nightfall the raisins are covered with canvas to protect the fruit from tho heavy dew, and, as stated, the canvas is also spread over them in the event of rain. There Is rarely any rain In this section during May, June, July, August and September. During tbe process of drying the grapes tbat re¬ main green or become spoiled are care¬ fully removed, and the clusters are turned from time to time in order that they may color uniformly. The drying process takes about three weeks, so tbat the flrst raisins of the season are ready for packing about the end of August Heaviest shipments go for¬ ward in September.
Before packing the raisins are sort¬ ed and graded. After small and im¬ perfect raisins have been cut off the clusters are laid in boxes lined with white paper and containing usually 22 or 25 pounds of fruit Good fruit which has become detached from clusters through shaking and raisins cut from small and Irregular clusters are sepa¬ rated from the rejected fruit and are also packed for shipment. The boxes of raisins are then brought to Malaga by tbe growers for disposal to the ship¬ pers and dealers. Tbe prices realized vary considerably according to tbo quality of the fruit and tho quantity of the crop, also according to the con¬ dition of the industry in the other countries where raisins are produced and tbe general demand in the world markets.
Costa Rica'e Coffee Exports. • Official statistics of (3osta Rica's coffee exports for the past season show shipments totaling 27,044,650 pounds gross—10,089,630 pounds less than during 1915-16. Of Beneflcludo or full milled coffee 24,749,135 pounda were exported, and 2,295,415 pounds of the Pergaralno (parchment) grade, these quantities being respectively 91.61 per cent nnd 8.49 per cent of the total. The United States took 63.18 per cent of the shipments, the United Kingdom 40.14 per cent and Panama the bulk of the remainder. Some cof¬ fee was sent to France, Italy, Spain and Chile. The province of San Jose supplied 46.34 per cent of the exports, Ileredia 16.32 per cent Cartago 13.22 per cent, and Alajuela 12.98 per cent The estimated value of the coffee ex¬ ported was 8,128,489 colones. (At nor¬ mal exchange the colon Is worth $0.4653; exchange now fluctuating.)
The 1917-18 crop Is placed at 30,000,- 000 pounds, but the season is not far enough .-advanced to make any deflnlte estimate.
FIMDINQ A DESIRABLE WIFE
Lonely Veung Plenaer Whe Did Not
Knew Hew, Fsund It Was Really
Rather Simple.
In a new settlement In the thick forest 20 miles or more from a dty nnd ten miles from a railway, were located a sawmill and a few scattered homesteaders who worked at the mlil when It wns running and attendefl thPir lltUe clearings at other times, relates a writer in the (Hilcago Trib¬ une.
One dny In the cook's camp, connect¬ ed with the mill, the man and his wife In thnrge begun joking the homestead¬ er nbout being the only settler In the whole commuulty without a wife and family.
"How can I help ItT snid he. "There nre no marriageable women that 1 know."
"Oh, there are lots of them that would bp glnd of a good home such as you could furnish," said they.
"Well, you just find me one," said the homesteader, "and I will make you a present of the best cow on the plnce."
Not to be bluffed, tbey nccepted his proposition. The'n they got busy, run¬ ning over their list of acquaintances In the city, finally selecting, for their matchmaking expedient an estimable Indy of thoir acquaintance, living with ber married sister In tbe city.
The victim selected for the sacrifice bad reached thut age when unmarried women cease to celebrate birthdays and begin to regard tbe tapering end of statistical possibility wltb more or le.ss concern. The homesteader was nbout the snme age, and, evidently, just as much concerned about his fu- tu|^f on enrth. A friendly invitation wiis forthwith extended to tbe lady to spend a week with the cook's family ttt tbe camp. It was Innocently ac¬ cepted.
The homesteader was conveniently Invited to a Sunday dinner with the cook's family, and tbe tragedy was staged.
A case of love and desperation at flrst sight In tbe afternoon, chap¬ eroned by the cook and bis wife, the party casually strolled over to the homesteader's bungalow, where tbey found everything "spick and span," with just enough incongruity in the nrruDgement to make the flngers of an orderly housekeeper tingle with ambi¬ tion to put things in their proper cor¬ ners.
A few months later the records tn the county clerk's oflice gave a hint of further developments, which were staged at the sister's home in the city. The happy couple at once settled In their new homo "and lived happily ever afterward."
In the excitement the poor cow was crowded off tbe stage and forgotten by the matchmakers, but a short time later, looking out one morning, they snw Mr. Homesteader driving a cow luto camp—as good as his word.
As Effective as Tanks.
Cyprus, the founder of tbo Persian empire, flrst put Into practice the Idea of equipping the wooden ammu¬ nition carts of ancient Romans und EK.vptlaus with sharp scythe-like knives. These were fastened to tho body nnd wheels of chariots, and were effective In charging omong mussed troops.
j In the middle ages tho modest kulved chariot was transformed into a movable tower, covered with sur¬ face armor, affording protection to men Inside. These were moved during a siege over the moats surrounding cas¬ tles. From them a platform was let
; down on tbe top of the walls, which served as a bridge fpr the attacking troops.
Switzerland's Live Stock Prioea.
The price of oxen bought at a re¬ eeut sale ranged from $4^ to $480 the pair: bulls were suld for $160 to $180 each; cows, $240 to $280 each; young cows, $ld0 to $200 each; goata, $12 to $16 each; small porks, $12 to $16 each: medium-sized porks, $40 to $60 the pair; fat porks, 82 c«aU par pound; aheep, |18 to 16 eadh.
South African Shoe Trade.
Cape Province has numerous flrms which manufacture boots and shoes. Many of these are engaged In the pro¬ duction of high-class footwear though, as a rule, the better class of footwear that Is popular In this country, is ob¬ tained from overseas, writes Consul General George II. Murphy, Cnpe Town. The foreign producer, with his highly specialized factories, is able, with the aid of the Importing merchant, to flood the market here with enormous quan¬ tities of boots and shoes, either made for the South African trade, or form¬ ing a part of his surplus output. The result is thnt the South African pro¬ ducer Is unable to command a sufll¬ clent market to warrant extensions of his plant to meet large cdlls which may be mnde by the wholesaler. He must content himself with producing high-grade footwear in small quanti¬ ties for the retailer.
Large quantities of boots and shoes nre being received from the United States, partly as a result of the im¬ possibility of obtaining adequate sup¬ plies elsewhere.
When the Doctors Despaired.
There have been recorded during the wnr .many being cured by occidental means, such as a sudden nol.se or an unexpected visitor, or as u startling iiucstlon, nnd In one case at least a niklnlt;lit fall out of bed. But one of the strangest cases belongs to a for¬ mer war, observes a correspondent, A\ here n soldier lay 15 months under the Influence of catalepsy. Finally, In despair, the doctors ordered the basfi pipes to be played naar tkt pstlent^ bed. Thnt dhl the trick.
There is u story told of a skipper who had a mcdlclne-chest containing cures nunibered one to seven. For dys¬ pepsia he administered a stiff close of No. 7. For sprains. No. 2 was the bot¬ tle, and for rheumatism. No. 5 seemed to work the oracle. But on a lengthy voyatre the skipper rnn out of No. 7, .so when next u member of the crew had a i)aln In his middle he dosed hlra with a ml sill re of 2 plus 5. Nobody had aiiotlier pain during that voyage, i>r, ut uny rate, confessed to huviug
