Suspension of the coastwise sulp

Under tho circumstances, Hawa

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.-
Uach year the report of tho Hit
reau of Navigation Is lep'elo with
facts that should convince Amcil
cans that further legislation Is nec
essary to assist tho American mer
chant mailne. The leport this year
Is exceptional only Uuough Its in
crease of facts to support tho argu
ment for more American ships.
Dirlng the past liscal J car tho
merchant vessels built and docu
mented to the United States num
bered 1,247 of but 238,000 gross
tons, which Is tho smallest product
since lS'.lS. Our shipbuilding Is
confined to tho needs of domestic
transportation and to naval or gov
ernment construction. Over one
third of the tonnage of the United
States Is employed on tlio Great
hakes.
Tho shipping registered for for
eign trade on June .10, 190!l, consist
ed of 1,033 vessels of 8S7.G05 gross
tons, but this Is an overstatement or
our resources In International com
petition, as many vessels are Includ
ed In the lls( "at - havo outlived
their usefulness and others nro en
gaged in trades from .which foreign
bhlps arc excluded. It Is stated that
for effectlvo competition In foreign
trado any one of several of the great
Ilrltleh and German steamship com
r "les Is better equipped than tho
fcililio steam fleet In that trado un
der tho American Hag.
Continuing tho report says:
"With good reason wo are build
ing a powerful navy, and Congress
has liccn generous In Its appropria
tions for tho purposo. Tho argu
ment for an adequato merchant ma
rine Is fully ns strong and should
appeal with equal force to men of all
parties. At tlio present time foreign
governments nro spending annually
auout 145,000,000 upon certain
types of merchant steamships. Tho
form of expenditure varies, of
course, and tho objects differ. In
somo Instances tho prime object is
'to promote regular .transportation
facilities; in others to provide re
serve cruisers or army transports,
while tho creation of n bod' of naval
icservo seamen, the encouragement
of shipbuilding and regular and
swift carrying of ocean mall are
reasons for other appropriations.
Whatever the purpose, the result in
each caoc is the tamo the increase
of the nation's merchant marine
and merchant seamon. it is not ma
terial' that in somo Instances tho
amounts nro described as subsidies
und In others ns payments for ser
vices rendered."
NEW PROCESS. FOR
EXTRACTINU J-ATEX
Territorial rubber planters - will
soon be nhlo to extract tlio latex
from three-year-old rubber trees, as
a Ceylon planter has Just Invented
u now process. . Instead of employ
ing a knlfo or of making V-shaped
or splrol incisions Into tho bark, ho
employs u pointed instrument whiili
pricks tho treo without doing It
much harm.. Tho now system pro
duces a larger quantity of lutox,
and haj the udvuntngo that it can bo
used on young trees.
A Colombo firm has undertaken
tho handling of this invention, and
has offered to teach Its uso to plant
ers for u fee of one hundred dollars.
The fee to he returnable In case of
failure, A largo number of nlnntcrn
havo alteady availed themselves of
1110 orrer, and It Is thought that tho
production of rubber In Coylon this
year will excoed all expectations.
Apparently' It Is too early. as yet
to pass any definite Judgment on tho
now process. Tho advantages claim
ed for H are simplicity, economy of
iuuur nun or cost of production, and
that It cuuses less harm to tho trees
and Insures qulckor nnd larger pro
tits. On the other hnnd, It remains
to he seen Whether tho sap of, tho
jming trcch mentioned will produce
as good rubber of equal elasticity
and resilience as that of the older
trees which have arrUrd at maturl
ty. and whether ultimate Injury will
uot hae been caused to these young
tf-ees.
