This position has not been arâ€" vrlved at by cutting down foreign purâ€" chases, for imports in the last fiscal year were $130,000,000 more than in the provious year, but by a still larger Increase in foreign sales. _ Exports have contin#ed to outrun imports. Increasing Foreign Ramifications,. In connection‘ with this it is inâ€" teresting to note the following points. (1) That the export trade of Canada Is the sixth largest among the nations of the world, being surpassed only by the United States, Great Britain, Crance, Germany .and British India. (2) That in proportionste gain since 10913 Canada‘s export trade leads the wor‘d by a very wide markin. (3) That in export trade per capita Canâ€" ada has moveA from seventh place in 1913 to second place internationally in 1925.

The tiny flowers are hidden benoathi large, downwardly pointing, overlapâ€" ping leaves of a bright suiphur yellow, which cover the tall erect stom from top to bottom. The plant grows on the open alpine moorland, and I shall neyer forget my first sight of it. There were hundreds growing together; I could see them a mile away, like yelâ€" low candle flames against the dark moor. Eometimes you see only one standing by Itself; it looks Itke a porâ€" celian Chinese pagoda swaying in the wind. . "The plant grows at an amazing rate.

The great strides now being made in wireless telepraphy, as well as the promise of transâ€"atlantic telephony, is specding up the world‘s system of cable communication, not only in Engâ€"; land and the United States, but in Gerâ€"| many as well At the present time Germary has no direct cable connection with America, hor two cables havifig been confisâ€" cated in the war by Great Britain. One of these cables, now the "Imperial" cable, runs from Penzance, and is operated from the Central Telegraph Office, London, while the other runs from lrest, and is worked by a comâ€" pany on behalf of the French Governâ€" ment. The Germans expect to complete their section of a new transatlantic cable betwoen Emden and the Azores in a fow weeks. It will connectup with a new cable laid between the Azores and New York in 1924 by the Western Union Telegraph Company. Britain‘s reply is the completion of the fast@st cable in the world, connectâ€" ing London with New York, through Penzance and Bay Roberts, Newfoundâ€" land, which will be operating in a fow weeks at the remarkable speed of 500 words, or 2,500 leters, a minuteâ€"nearâ€" ly eight times as fast as any of the existing cables toâ€"day. This hitherto unheardâ€"of speed is obtained by what is known as "loadâ€" ing" the cable, accomplished in this inâ€" stance by wrapping the copper conâ€" ductor of the cable with a thin tape of a metallic alloy of nickel and iron throughout its entire 3,000 miles. The world‘s largest cableâ€"ship, the Dominion, is at present engaged in putting down the longest cable in the world in the Pacific. This cable will connect Bamfleld, British Columbia, with Fanning Island, 3,600 miles away, and is expected to work at 800 letters, or 160 words, a minute, five times the speed of the original Pacific cable laid in 1902.
