Interesting Comparative Figures

In the Christmas News the government compilation u the metal out.

been confusing to some who were prone to crllche and question the accuracy

It was necessary to estimate the production Of 1908 upon the incomplete re-
ports received from a greater portion Of the smeter and mining corporations
and the value OF the years production was made on the basis of 100000 ounces
of gold, 100000 ounces Of silver &O0OOW pounds o. copper and l2jQ000O

Later and more complete reports received from the various mining COM

about $4,000 ounces but the figures given to represent the Yield Of the other
metals are approximately correct,

Zebras as Beasts Of Burden.

South African native traditions
have it that in the long-forgotten days
the zebra was a domesticated animal
and was held in complete subsection
by It's master, man. In modern times
several attempts have been made to
train this hardy beast. Experiments
at the London geological gardens In
dictate that zebras can be readily
made seryiceable. There are innu-
merable herds of zebras running wild
In South Africa and II they could be
broken to domestic use their subjec-
ton would solve a problem which for
generations has been a puzzle to the
best experts. For the zebras Of South
Africa are immune from the tsetse
fly and the horse sickness which has
lately been ravaging Rhodesia and
other portions of the continent.

Product Of Bermuda Of Which Little

The dwarf banana OF Bermuda first
came from the Canaries. The fruit Is
little larger than a mans finger, and
Is compact In texture and rich In

OF higher quality than that grown In
winter-if the word winter can be
applied to land in which the mer-
curry rarely registers as low as so de-
grees and In which frost Is unknown.
The single bunch that the tree bears
would weigh, OF this dwarf sort. from
twenty-five to sixty or seventy pounds.
There is almost no expense required
In maintaining the plantation after 1t

nual income should be from $500 to
$500 per acre. The little bananas are
consumed entirely by the local mar
kets, for Bermuda is visited by tour
lists. II has large garrison, and the
resident people-some over 1900 all
told-are fond OF fruit.

ALWAYS FISH UP STREAM.
Expert Angler Gives This Advice to
His Brethren.

Expert Angler Gives This Advice to
His Brethren.
A youth whose prowess in trout
fishing has gained for him the en-
comiums of veterans gives this ad-
vice: IF you wade down stream In
your rubber boots, the least mud or
driftwood or dead leaves coming down
stream would be noticed by every one
of the fish. You advertise yourself
when you don't want to. That's why
Ii pays TO move slowly. Lots of men
walk right over the trout, and don't
know 1t. most always fish up stream,
for the fish lie with their tails down
stream, breasting the current; and
they can't see you nearly as well. Be-
sides, when you come from behind,
all the mud and sticks that you stir
up go down and away from the fish
then instead of around and over them.
SO when have to fish down stream I
always get out on the bank and sly
up behind clumps of bushes, and then
| don't roll the water; for be sure that
the trout knows every unnatural thing
that is taking place over and in the
stream"

A writer on India says: The

AZ inmates Of Indian gardens are the
terrible daboias. 'viperia RUSSELL.
They are truly superb reptiles, for
while the coloring Of their armor is
relatively quiet. 1t would be hard to
ind any finer harmony than that pre-
scented by its tints Of ocherous brown,
on which a series of shining black
rings with lighter margins are dis
posed In triple rows from the neck
to within a short distance from the
end of the tail. Daboias are sluggish
and inert, and often lie coiled up and
motionless on footpaths until they are
actually touched or trodden on by
passers-by, when they suddenly un-
fold like a released spring armed with
terrible teeth. There is none OF the
warning and preparation here that
there is where a cobra Is about to
