About the Joint Snake.

NEARLY everybody" said a Zoo
keeper. believes in joint snakea-be-
lieyes in little snakes that can dis
member themselves into four or five
pieces and then come together again.
Sometimes these reptiles are called
glass snakes.
Though there seems to be incontro-
yertible evidence to the contrary, it is
nevertheless a fact that joint snakes
(glass snakes) don't exist. There does
exist. though, a lizard, called scien-
tiically O~pheosaurus %ventralis, that is
the same thing.
"This lizard, because it is long and
slim and legless, looks like a snake.
It's tail is very delicate. The verte-
brae are so fragile that the slightest
shock causes it's tail to break off
TO break at the same time, maybe, into
three or four pieces. People seeing
a lizard go through this operation
think they have eel a joint snake.
The tail pieces, of course. can't be
taken on again, but the lizard is just
as we'll off, for its tail always grows
back to it's original length. This
lizard is to be found in the South and
West. We have none here.'-Phila-
delphia Record

FAMILY OWNS JAP MINES.
Copper Properties on Islands Have
Been Worked for $50 Years.

Been Worked for 25o years.
One of the interesting copper min
ing corporations in the world is the
Furakawa Mining Co., the leading
copper mining firm of Japan, whose
properties are distributed throughout
the islands. The company owns l5
copper mines, three silver mines and
seven coal mines.
The company, like most Japanese
corporations, is not a stock company,
but is owned by a family, which has
been in the mining business for 250
years, though it has only been in the
last SO years that it has paid special
attention to copper mining. The lead
ing copper mine is Ashio, which a
been producing ever since 1910 n by
100 it is accredited to have produced
annually 2,700, 900 tons of fine cop
per. This copper was mostly con-
sumed at home and a surplus found a
ready market in Holland.
The present company secured pos
session of the property in 1887. The
mine is located nine miles from the
railroad and supplies are transported
half the way up aerial trans. The
property is very completely equipped
with electrical machinery, practically
all the ore underground is handled by
electric cars. The deepest mine open
ings are about 1900 feet; the ore shows
| smelter returns averaging 4 percent
copper. The ore has princlpai values
in chalcopyrite, associated with ga
lena, sphalerite, a~rsenopyrite and iron
pyrite; these ore have a quartz and
clay gangue.
The Ashio has a 150-ton smelter, 25-
stamp mill and three concentrators,
the ore being put in about four into
one and sem in the smelter with 10
or Is percent. This company is one
of the most progressive in Japan and
sends every year three or four OF
their staff to this country to study
different mining methods. In the
past year two representatives Of the
company have visited the 81 Paso
smelter. One thing which immediate
ly strikes one in investigating jap
anese copper mines Is the greater
number of laborers employed. In the
Ashio mine, as an example, which
produces annually about 5000, 900
pounds of copper, owe 1900 people
are employed, three times as many as
at the Greene Cananea in Mexico,
which employs about 5000 people.
Another interesting feature on
nected with Japanese mines is the low
wage scale. The average Japanese
miner earns from 40 cents to 81 a
day, the smeltermen about 40 cents
per day. Engineers and carpenters
are paid SO cents to 81 a day. Boys
and girls employed around the camp
earn from five to 80 cents a day.

Facts About Mans Growth.

1.-THE growth of mankind" said .
scientist, sis an interesting study.
Recent statistics have proved that
mems stature increases up to the age
of so years. This is a %refutation of
the former belief, according to which
men stopped growing at % or 20.
Boys and girls seesaw oddly in the
rapidity of their growth. The fastest
growth experienced in life comes be-
tween the ages of one and five. Boys
and girls grow about equally there.
From five to ten the boys outstrip the
| girls. but from 10 to Is the girls out
strip the boys. At II and at IA the
girls are the boys superiors in height,
and from 10 to Is they are the boys
superiors in weight.
"But between Is and 20 the boys
forge ahead, taking at that stage a
lead which they never again relin-
auish. The boys cease their percep-
tible growth at %; the girls cease
theirs at 20. From 20 onward to so
men, however, continue to grow (no
observations have been made on wo-
mem, though this growth is, of course,
slight. They also increase slowly in
weight, but from so to 60 their weight
! increases very rapidly.
male strength increases most
markedly from the age of IL to that of
10. From 10 to 80 1T increase more
slowly. From 80 onward it begins
very slowly to decline.
Female strength increases most
rapidly from 9 to 10; then, slowly to
80, and after 30 the decline begins

A SMALL SECRET
Couldn't Understand the Taste of his
Customers.

Two men were discussing the
various food products now being sup
piled in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said 81 frequently
try a package or SO of any certain
article before Offering it to my trade,
and in that way sometimes form a
different idea than my customers
have.
For instance, I thought I would
try Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for
1t. At breakfast l didn't like it and
supper proved the same, SO I natur-
ally concluded that my taste was diff
ferent from that of the customers
who bought 1t right along.
A day or two after, I waited IN a
lady who was buying a 25c package
and told her I couldn't understand
how n could fancy the taste of Pos
tum.
L know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler
bn the stove for just fifteen minutes,
and ten minutes of that time it SIM
mered, and perhaps five minutes it
boiled, now If you will have it left
to boil full fifteen minutes after it
commences to boil, you will find a
delicious Jaya-like beverage, rich in
food value of gluten and phospAates,

don it, particularly when you see the
