WHAT BECOMES OF METAlS9
The Various Ways in Which Some of
Them Are Used.


Them Are Used.
The greater portion of the lead mined
is converted into white lead, red lead
and orange materials which are used as
pigments for paints. Much lead is
manufactured into sheet, some into bull
let's and other projectiles, and the only
lead which comes back into the mar
ket in the form of scrap is that used for
lead pipes.
Zinc is largely used in galvanizing
steel or iron, in manufacturing brass.
rs sheet zinc, and as oxide of zinc used
in paint. The only zinc available for
the new use is that used in making
brass. Next to scrap iron and steel.
scrap brass is found on the market.
Most of the worlds zinc product is
used in tin plates. Tin scrap is not
available and, though many efforts
have been made to utilize tin scrap, no
considerable amount of metal has been
obtained this way.
Next to iron and steel, copper is most
used in metallic form, only small por-
ton being used in the salts of copper
and blue vitriol. The great uses of cop
per are in the manufacturing of brass,
of which it forms two-thirds, in cleo
tricnl conductors. sheet roofing. cook
ing utensils and pipes.
Just what becomes Of the enormous
amount of metal mined every year is n
mystery, rs very small proportion is
returned in the form of scrap material.

YOUR NOSE.
What This Special Feature Tells of
Your Character.

Your Character.
A nose thick and flat is an unfavor-
able feature with men as well as wom-
en-, usually signifying that the charac
ter is predominated by material in
stincts, while turned-up nose with
wide nostrils betokens a vain DISPOSE
ton, says an exchange.
Especially wide nostrils are signs of
courage, strength and pride; small nos
trils of weakness and timidity. Noses
large in every respect are usually
found among men, and when woman
possesses large nose it indicates that
she is masculine in character.
The nose, the form of which has so
much to do with the beauty OF the face.
on the authority of German physician
that it is beyond dispute that during
half nm ordinary human life the nose
Is capable of receiving more noble form.
The mental training of an individual
has great deal to do with shaping the
nose.
The small, fiat nose, found among
women and called the soubrettc nose.
when occurring with an otherwise
agreeable cast of countenancc, indi-
Gates n gracious and cheerful naivete,
combined with considerable curiosity.
Such a nose is seldom found among
men, and when n man is unfortunate
enough to possess 1t he is characterized
by weak and deficient sagacity.

Lying up close against the end of an
overhanging stone on the bottom of one

New York Sun, was an eel about Is
inches in length. About six or eight
inches Of the cells tail projected clear

SIX inches in length, which presently

IN there snug against the rock and the
overhahSing projection, and it came up
ut the tail end of the eel and tried to
wedge itself in between the eel and the
rock; that is, to crowd the eel away
and take its place
hut the bergall couldn't 90 that;
there is good deal of strength in an
eel, and this eel held its place firmly.
The bergall hauled off little distance
and headed for the point where the rock
and the side of the eel met, and made
for it under full steam, but with the
same result; it couldn't bulge the eel.
which still chung closely to the rock.
Then the bergall backed off again and
tried n change of tactics.
The cells head was around on the
other side of the rock, where it couldn't
see what was going on at the rear. The
bergall backed off and darted for the
cells tail and nipped it as hard as it
could bite. The eel started as though
it had been struck by lightning, and
slid around the end of the rock and off
to the other end of the tank, cutting in

CAPTAIN SIGsBEE was born in AL
bany, N. Y. Erastus Corning had
him appointed to the Naval Acad-
amy, from which he graduated in
1863. He was at once detailed as
active ensign to the Metaconet,
which was then a part of the fleet
that finally captured Mobile. Capt.
Sigsbee is we'll remembered in the
chronicles of naval service for his
work on the coast survey. He is one
of the bravest and most discreet
officers in the navy. He is man
who is known to be what is called
remarkably leyel-headed." Those
who know him best will be the last
to believe that such carelessness as
an explosion aboard ship could occur
on any vessel under his command.

The Oil City (Pa.) Derrick tells of
party OF boys of about II years of age
who were teasing girl Of about the
same age who was hauling her little
sister on handsled. The girl evidently
had temper. and also self-reliance.
Singing out the largest boy in the lot,
she sailed into him like an Infatuated
tomcat and had him thoroughly
whipped, and was chasing him up the
railroad track before the surprised
spectators recovered presence of mind
enough to part the combatants. The
other boys viewed the fate OF their late
companion with CONSERVATION. and
when the girl returned and resumed
possession OF the sled there was not one
in the crowd with courage enough to re-
sumo the teasing operations.

this did away with crossing the river it
did not reduce the distance Postman
Roberts had to walk very much. In
Guiding the village delivery, he must
in his SO years of service have walked
no less than 205.920 miles.
