a station on the Southwestern Railroad,
about sixty miles from Macon. 1t is
nothing but q railroad station, and the
only thing that charactcrizes the spot is
the immense Union Cemetery of some
twenty acres, over which floats the star

The cemetery is surrounded by q

under the supervision of a superintend-

plain spot. There is not much attempt
made to ornament this city of the dead.
It would take q great deal Of even such
influence as plants and flowers possess
to dispcl the memories that haunt this
hill in the pine woods of Southern
Georgia.
The cemetery is much visited by
Northern travellers, and the register in
the superintendent lodge contains
many strange inscriptions beside the
names of the visitors. One lady asks
forgiveness of God for the murderer of
her brother, who sleeps in the cemetery.

In the cemetery the ground is of a

There were actually buried on this

sigh of relief: swell, at any rate, now

fencing-master was waiting. So poor
Denkichi was obliged to incase
himself in heavy suit of chain armor,

defend, repeat, parry, cut, lunge and
dance about until he was well nigh
dropping with fatigue. After the fenc-

Pure tin is an elementary metal, as
much so as lead, iron, silver or gold.
The principal tin-producing country is
England. The Phenicians traded with
England for tin LOO years before the
Christian era. There is reason to be-
lieve that they got tin from Spain also;
but England was depended on for nearly
all the tin used in Europe until this ore
was discovered in Germany in 1910. 1t
was discovered in Northern Africa, in
the Barbary States, in 1910; in India in
174O; in New Spain in 1882. Tin was
mined in Mexico before the Spanish
conquest, and used in T-shaped pieces
for money, and in bronze composition
for sharp tools; the principal mines be-
ing at Tasco. Peru has valuable mines
of this metal; SO have New South
Wales, Australia and Banca, and
Malacca, in the Malay peninsula. Tin
has been discovered in Pennsylvania,
Missouri, California and other States of
the Union, but not in quantities TO
tempt capital to engage in mining it.
The chief tin-producing countries are
the following, arranged in the order OF
Importance: England, about 10. 600 tons
q year; Malacca, about $500 tons;
Australia, about 6,OO0 tons; Banca,
about 1900 tons, and Billion. about
5000 tons. Both of these last-named
places are islands Of the Dutch East
