VAST COMMERCE OF EARTH.
International Trade for Magi Tear
AaaoanUte $11,000,000,000.
Th world' commerce, a noted In
the annual report of the chief of th
bureau of statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, stows the to
tal exports of all nations of th world
to be, In the latest year available, 110,
515,000,000, and the value of the total
Imports of all natloD $11,809,000,000.
Thla would give the total value of tbe
world's Import and export combined
aa 122.324,000,000, but since all arti
cle which were counted aa exports be
came in turn Imports when they enter
ed the country of destination It would
appear that th actual value of
articles entering Into International com
merce la. In round terms, 811,000,-
000.000.
Tbe value of these articles forming
the internal commerce of the United
States is estimated at 122,000,000,000
in a single year.
Thua, while It has been customary
to apeak of the Internal commerce of
the United States as equal to the en
tire International commerce of tbe
world. It appear from this statement
that the actual value of tbe merchan
dise entering into the internal com
merce of the United States Is practic
ally twice aa great aa that entering
the International commerce of the
world.
Europe, of course, supplies a large
proportion of the world' International
commerce, both a to export and Im
port. Tbe export of Europe amount
to 80,408,000,000, out of a total of $10,
615,000,000 exports of all the countries
of the world, and her Imports are
$8,301,000,000, out of a total of $11,
809,000.000 of the total Imports of all
the countries of the world. Thus Eu
rope's total International commerce,
combining Imports and exports,
amounts to practically $15,000,000,000,
out of a total of $22,000,000,000 of com
bined imports and export.
Of the $8,301,000,000 of imports Into
Europe, $1,202,500,000, or 14.43 per
cent are from tbe United States, and
of the $0,498,000,000 of exports, $407,
868,000, or 6.27 per cent wer tent to
the United States.

A Land (or lelons of All Nation.
HAT la th logic of keeping criminals at tbe
public expense? Why should tbe community
give a man free board and lodging for his life
because be has broken the law? If a man
w
la unnt to be at large In society,
p reservation Is the first law of nature, society has
the right to eliminate hlin. This It does, fool
ishly, at present by locking him up for a term of year
er for life. In a few cases society kills the criminal, and
thus gets rid of him Irrevocably and cheaply; but this Is
hard on tbe criminal who may not be Incorrigible. Hence
capital punishment would be too severe for crimes leas
than the most heinous. The maintenance of prisons, how
ever, la a heavy drain upon the taxpayers. Moreover,
prisons are not reformatories, but rather
cation In th criminal arts and for the
professional criminal character. Therefore, they are men
aces aa well as burdens to society.
Some natlona have made a compromise with logic by
establishing colonies, where felons are permitted. In a
measure to, shift for themselves. Put these colonies are
only half-way measure. Th logical, human and most
effectual solution of the problem would be the setting apart
ef m greet territory say tbe heart of Africa or some
large Island, not too fertile aa a general dumping ground
for the criminal of all natlona. There the outlaw could
set ap a society of their own. Necessity would compel
them to dig baA for themselves. They would have to
work or starve. The frontlera or coast of the felons'
land could be policed by a patrol composed of detachments
from the armies and navies of all the nations In order to
prevent escape. Summary death should be. of course,
the penalty for breaking bounds. The power, however,
could refuse to take any part In tbe Internal administration

Urine Collapsible Air-Bag- Inside Bal
loon Proper Meets with Success.
To regulate the height to which a
balloon aball rise or fall la one of the
intereatlng problem of aeronautic,

throwing ballast overboard or allow

tried In successful experiments, this

which air can be forced or withdrawn.
While the Idea la old, going back o
the time of the first hydrogen balloon
in 1783, It has only recently been put
Into successful application, though In
18S4 air-reservoirs were employed to
regulate tbe shape of balloons. During
the first year Henry de la Vaulx and
Henri Havre have made Improvement
whereby successful ascents and voy
ages have been made, and the altltud
of the balloon nicely regulated. The
ballonet Is an annular compartment of
lens-abaped section placed around the
lower part of the balloon proper and
provided with suitable valves. By
forcing air In or out of tbe ballonet
tbe displacement, and consequently the
buoyancy, Is altered. Thus In the first
scent made by M. de la Vaulx a crow
ing of the English Channel was mado
at a height of about 1,000 feet with
the ballonet filled. On rising above
tbe clonds the sun's rays would have
expanded tbe gas within the balloon
proper and carried the aeronauts to a
strata where they would have been
driven toward the Arctic Bea by the
prevailing southerly wlnda bad they
not been able to descend to a lower
level by using the ballonet. Thus they
were able to proceed In tbe deHlred di
rection on thla particular voyage, land
ing In Yorkshire after a trip of sixteen
hour. By regulating the position of
the balloon with' the ballonet it la pos
sible to save ballast o that much
longer trip can be taken with favor
able winds. Further trip In this bal
loon wer equally successful, and dem
onstrated tbe success of tbe ballonet.
and thla arrangement ahould be ad
vantageous In dirigible balloons or on
air ships, aa they would supply a aim'
pie meana of regulating the buoyancy
of the envelope containing tbe gas.

Fish's Tenacity of Digestion.
A singular Instance of tenacity in
the digestion of fish la reported from
a fishing village on the Atlantic coast.
The fish, which la a ling, four feet
long, bad what appeared to be an ab
normally hard liver. But the cutting
up process revealed something .far
stranger. Tbe supposed bard liver
turned out to be a piece of stout net
ting, over two yard long and fourteen
Inches wide, which bad been pressed
Into the form of a football. How this
great mass of indigestible material
came to be swallowed by tbe creature
is a mystery, and tbe suggestion that

At What Me Work.
th division ef labor In different conn
tries, published la the "Industrie Zeltung," of Her
tin, present kum Interesting tacts and offer aom
proflubl suggestions. Occupations ar divided Into
lore clasae namely, agriculture, horticulture and forest
ry; manufacture and mining, and commerce and trans
portation, it Is "Interesting to observe that la the last
named class America leads all th world save only Holland.
With that on iception a larger proportion of our people
ar engaged In commerce and transportation than of auy
other In the world. That la doubtless because of the enor
mous dvlopmut of railroads In America. Our percentage
of men thua engaged I 10.3, while Holland's Is 17.2, Ea
gland' I only 13, Germany's is 10.0 and Francs' 0 4.
In manufacture and mining America has a compar
atively low rank, her percentage being only 24.1. Scotland
lead all, with 00.4, followed rloeely by England and
Walee with Ml Germany has 87.4 and Franc U S. Bel
glum, Holland and 8wltarland also, f course, rank high,
each ef them having mor than ene-thlrd ef the working
population thua engaged. In the first class, ef agriculture
and allied occupation. America ha a percentage of 55 0,
while Germany ha 87.5, Franc 44 3. Austria and Hun
gary, respectively, 53.2 and 5.8.8, and Italy 50.4. Th only
nations having smaller proportlona Id this class than Amer
ica are Holland, with SOT; Belgium, with 21.1; Scotland,
with 12, and England and Wales, with only 8.
It may be seriously questioned whether It Is well for
a nation to show se great a disproportion among Its occu
pations aa England does, with only A per cent agricultur
ist against 58.3 In manufactures and 13 In commerce; or
as Hungry does In tbe opposite direction, with MO per
cent engaged upon the land and only 12.0 In manufacture
and 3.3 In commerce. A more even balancing among the
clnes would seem to be preferable, such as that of the
I'nlted States, In which the balance I moat even of all,
with the possible exception of Holland. There la an old
warning against carrying all the eggs In one banket, and
