The mountain streams Of Indian

have been having great sport gigging

In a mountain stream in the terri
tory, when the water Is clear the bot

water, and this makes gigging q great
sport for the Indians. They are ex-

Through the black oblong of the

seventeen or eighteen, tall, slim,

tween two men-at-arms, who held his
rists firmly on either side. His hands
were chained together, and from be-
tween them dangled spiked ball that
clanked heavily on the floor as he
stumbled forward rather than walked
into the room. He had black hair
that waved from his forehead In a
backward sweep, nose OF slightly
Roman shape. which, together with
his bold eagles eyes, had obtained
him the name Of the Spar or Sparrow

We are wont to speak of this era

gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron Is q precious metal"
Nevertheless. few people realize
how useful, II not absolutely neces,
sary to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead. Soft yielding
pliable, 1t is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give 1t such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
& Modern plumbing, requiring many
rnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints. would be almost limos
sfble without lead pipe. The great
est clvilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype

Is the chief component-to say moth.

what a field Of usefulness that one
form opens up
Then there is the most important
use Of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
cur houses looking pretty = inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts Of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good" as
ANhite lead. But all good paint is
made Of the metal, lead. corroded and
ground TO a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead Is also used in the coat
ing of, fine OIL cloths. and for many
purposes besides paint.
RED lead" is another product Of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges. ....... -,
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc.. which are es.
