Sketching one day in Burma, an
English artist noticed a man a little
distance off glaring fiercely straight
ahead at him at some object he could
not see from his position The man
sat with the same fixed glare the whole

morning. The artist had the curiosity
to ask an English visitor what it
meant. The reply was, ooh, he is in
lover And it was explained that this
was their method Of courtship.
The object Of the mans attentive
gaze was a girl in a neighboring ba-
zaar. When young man falls in love,
he has to seat himself at certain dis
lance from his adored one and wait
for her to do the rest. If she looks in
his direction once or twice on the first
or second day, he is wildly encouraged,
and if on the third day she mods to
him and smiles it is time to go to the
parents with reference to the marriage

What will be the greatest lead CON-
bination In this country is no wnearing
Its consummation. While its promoters
are more than ordinarily reticent, II Is
definitely known that the scope of the
merger will include most OF the large
white lead plants east of the Mississippi
river, principal pipe and sheet lead plants.
a number of shot towers and companies
manufacturing products in which lead
forms one of the CHIEF components.
Included in the merger will be the
Union Lead and Oil Co, which was or
ganized last year by the Ryan Whigey
coterie of capitalists with capital OF
SO. 100000 and which controls the Bailey
process Of manufacturing white lead.
Overtures made to induce the National
Lead company TO Join the merger are
said to be favorably looked upon by a
portion OF the directorate.
Behind the merger are the Ryan-WhIt-
ney and American Smelling and Refin-
ing company interests. Options have
been secured on a number of corroding
plants OF the country, notably the Chad
wick company OF Boston, and the Ray
mond company of Chicago. IL the merger
shall be completed successfully, II will
control the lead manufacturing interests
OF the country and Indirectly though It's
alliances the pig lead markets.
The plans OF the promoters favor cor
poration with a capitalization of not less
than s60,0oo.00o. The papers probably will
be flied In New Jersey this week
The lead producing properties in south
eastern Missouri Colorado and the Coeur
d'Alene will not be included In this mer-
ger, but will be the basis OF a second
corporation with a capitalization of not
less than $25, 900. 900 to be consummated
after the manufacturing merger shall
have been effected.
