The Worlds Principal Tin Mines.

Pure tin is an elementary metal, as
much so as lead, iron, silver or gold.
The principal n-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
l740; 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 $1,000 tons
a year; Malacca, about $500 tons;
Australia. about 5000 tons; Banca,
about 1900 tons, and Billion, about
5000 tons. Both of these last-named
places are islands of the Dutch East
Indies. Chicago Inter Ocean.

WONDERFUL REVELATIONS OF THE
MICROSCOPE.
Discovery of the Most Deadly Enemy Of
Mankind-The Bacillus and
Its Ravages.

D1sCOvery OF the MOSC DeaOly Enemy Oh
Mankind-The Bacillus and
Its Ravages.
The scientific world has been greatly
startled and agitated of late by the discov-
cry with the microscope of the most dread
full enemy Of mankind in the form of myri-
ads of little death-dealing parasites. The
air we breathe and live in is charged with
these deadly little growths in proportion
as it is infected from various noxious
sources. Having by, recent experiments
and research been shown to be the most
fruitful cause of disease known, and the
welfare and health of every individual de-
pending so largely on the freedom from
their destructive ravages, it is but natural
that the reports of recent Investigators in
this field of scientific inquiry should be
widely read, and that every phase Of these
astounding discoveries should be subject
to universal discussion. At first received
with some suspicion they have at length been
thoroughly proven, and are now receiving
the unqualified endorsements of the lead
ing scientific men throughout the world.
But little else is talked of in the schools
and clubs of science, and the medical and
scientific journals are crowded with the
testimony that is being added corrobora-
tive of the value of the marvellous discov-
cry which is pronounced the greatest ad-
vance in medical science of modern times.
To l.. PAsTEUR, the eminent French
scientist, who by his learned investigations
has saved to France SO many millions OF
dollars, is probably due the honor of first
pointing out the terrible power of these
germs. In recognition of his great service
the government has recently voted him
from the public treasury $10OO0.0O, with
which to continue his experiments. He
has described several varieties of these
parasites, some comparatively harmless,
others extremely dangerous. One form he
proved by a series of vaccinations and
other conclusive experiments was the cause
Of death of many thousands of animals and
herds of cattle; another the active agent in
the death of fowls by cholera. Acting upon
the knowledge he had gained Of the nature
of these germs he pointed out Q means of
relief that speedily prevented a spread of
the diseases and ended their devastation.
TYHDALL, with the aid of other eminent
English Investigators, made a number of
examinations of the floating particles In
the atmosphere, and found numbers of liv-
ing spores capable of producing disease.
In dry and healthy localities but few germs
werc found, and these of the harmless va
rieties, while in low damp places, crowded
houses, and unhealthy cities, the poisonous
germs were extremely numerous every
where.

Warrantee Of Farm and Garden Seeds.

We have several inquiries as to the
liability of persons selling farm or gar
den seeds when there is failure to
grow This subject has been aroused
by an article we published a month ago.
There is no doubt about the law, and it
applies as well to a person selling only
few bushels as a regular scotsman.
If person asks for and obtains from
another person, for a valuable consid-
Grafton, certain designated kind or
quality of seed, and the dealer delivers
it pretending it is the kind or quality
inquired for; and if he represents the
seed TO be good and the quality desired,
this constitutes a warranty that the
seeds are sound and of the quality
asked for. And if it should turn out
that the seeds were unsound and would
not grow so as to produce the usual
crop, the dealer would be liable to the
farmer or gardener for the damage oc-
casioned thereby. The damage in the
case would not be simply the price of
the seed, but in case the crop was not
the kind represented, or if the seed was
so unsound that sufficient per cent. of
. it did not grow to produce a crop, the
measure of damages would be the diff
ference in value between the crop
raised, and what it would have been if
the seed had been good, or of the right
kind. If there is an entire failure of the
crop by seed failing to grow, or if the
crop fails to ripen when it was guaran-
teed to be seed which would ripen in
this latitude, then the measure of the
damage would be the reasonable value
of the crop for that year.
In the State of New York a dealer
in seeds sold gardener seed which he
represented to be the Early Flat Dutch
Van Wycklin cabbage seed, but they
wholly failed to produce crop of cab
bage and the dealer was compelled to
pay the garden farmer the value of
crop of cabbage of the kind men,
toned. SO N. Y, 81.
In another case the seed was repre-
sented as Large Bristol cabbage. But
it was shown that while the seed was
raised on the stocks of Bristol cabbage,
yet they were grown in close proximity
to cabbage of other kinds and were
fertilized by the pollen therefrom, so
that the crop raised was, by reason of
the crossing of the different kinds of
cabbage, crop of no known variety,
and wholly useless except for fodder
for cattle, and in this case the dealer in
seeds was compelled to pay the dam

A NEW York man has invented a ma

= The Gardeners Monthly advises
owners of fruit-trees to remember that
the trees, like grain and vegetable crops,
must have manure to keep up their fer
tility. An annual top-dressing Is best.
If the manure can not be had, fresh
earth from bitches or roadsides spread
half an inch or so deep under the trees,
will have a wonderful effect.
"A correspondent of the Toledo
B'dde recommends the method follow
ing to rid the garden of moles: Take
handful of yellow dent-corn and soak
it in hot water until the thin skin of the
kernel can be loosened; then take each
kernel and prick the skin over the
sprout just enough to admit some ar
senic or Paris green. / use of the latter
mite as big as the head of pin; then
,et the skin lie back over the hole and
dry. Second, take small stick and
push it down in the dirt directly over
their hole (be sure not to go deep, then
drop in a kernel or two of corn. The
moles will discover the corn and eat the
sprout.
