Old
Pirates

TAs memory of the last of the buc-
cancers has again been revived by the
discovery Of undoubted relics OF his
career as far north as Bangor, Me-.
says the Boston Post.
1t Is true the present discovery
amounts to nothing more definite than
hole which is said to be the exact
size OF the reported mysterious boxes
Of gold which the doughty Captain
Kidd 10 believed to have strewn along
the coast Of America, and which have
been traced all the way from South
Carolina to the present location, which
is believed to be the "farthest north"
YET made in Kidd's record. OF course,
however, a hole cannot sustain a pi-
rates reputation, and the present
treasure trove includes also, as a re-
cent dispatch from Bangor states,
an old-fashioned lip, such a. covered
al old-fasbioped locks, and . broken
ksy. found near the hole" These, the
narrator naivsly aods, are proof of
the discovery"

ysars In this favored locality, that
soHs of the coveted "rema.t.s" Of the
great pirate were buried at Rber's

looking animals might be
difficult to discover: more harmless
ones cannot bs found at all. They
never dream Of biting, and their only
defense when brought to bay 10 to
squirt a few drops Of fluid from their
noStrils. Their habits are as peculiar
as Is their appearance. Though ex-
tremely numerous along the rocky
coasts Of their native islands, they are
ty feet from shore. though as might
be expected, they are perfectly at
home in the sea-swimming by serpen-
tine, undulating movements of the
flattened body and tail, and moving
without apparent effort, gracefully and
swiftly through the water. with their
limbs, which they do not use in
swimming, pressed closely to their
sides. Yet, strange as it may-and
certainly does-appear. it is never;he-
less fact that you cannot drive one
of these creatures which happens 20

the big fellow scampers on In any d!-

between your feet and upset you, or
climb the almost perpendicular race

ashore as fast as he can. Thus in

perfect an example and proof as exists
Of the fallacy OF a judgment founded
merely on appearances.

Copper in
Greet Demand

Producing by far a larger amount of
copper than any other country, the
United States is extremely fortunate in
being able to supply to a great extent
the ever-increasing demand for this
useful metal. All this year the United
States has been selling over a million
pounds of copper day to foreign
consumers and yet the supply is not
equal to the demand. In proportion to
the worlds supply no metal is now In
30 great demand as copper. The mar
ket for 1t is very active because,
though the United States and all the
leading nations of Europe are great
consumers. none of them produces it in
large quantities except this country.
The United Kingdom, France and Ger
many are by far the largest buyers of
copper ingots, bars and plates in Eu-
rope. but none of them produces the
metal except Germany, and the Ger
man output Is only from 1900 to TO-
900 tons a year. Great Britain can
buy copper in no parts of her vast en-
pire except in Australasia and Canada,
and the receipts from these sources are

was a crash and scream, and two
pantalooned legs suddenly descended
to the pavement through the big rent
in the bottom of the carriage. The
driver, too absorbed to notice any
thing chirruped to his horses, and the
hack went rolling through Canal
street at top speed of five miles an
hour. while the two legs tried to keep
apace with the rapidly revolving
wheels.
Yells and profane protests and ap-
peals for help in steady stream came
from the windows of the vehicle, but
the driver paid no attention to them
until he reached West Broadway. Then
he slowly descended from the box,
crawled under the carriage, pushed
the legs back, went back to bis seat

United States Fortunate
in Producing d Vast
Quantity of this Metal

only small part of the metal she con-
sumes OF all the copper mined, the
United States produces more. than one
half and Spain and Portugal about
one-fourth. About half the copper
mined here is sold abroad and half OF
this is returned for conversion at the
Atlantic reflneries into plates and wire
for foreign use. Although the worlds
production of copper has increased
about one-third in the past decade, the
demand has grown faster, being swoll-
en- constantly by the expansion OF the
electric industries. Next to silver,
copper is the best conductor Of heat
and electricity; and with the vast de-
velopment Of the telegraph and tS1,.se.
phone services and the new use OF cleo
tricity to transmit power and thus
supplant the horse and the steam en-
gine, the demand for the metal steadily
grows. In addition to the large use OF
the metal for electrical purposes, enor-
nous quantities also are alloyed with
zinc In the production Of brass, which
