BOSTON, Feb. 23.-An attempt to add
canary birds aud Teddy bears to the
animals which may be buried in the
Newton pet animal cemetery was frus-
trated in the house, after a long debate
on the passage of the bill to a third
reading
The debate started when Mr.. Porter

was foolish to put such law on the
statute books. Mr.. Potter Of Worces-

OF the bill. and then several other
members of the house made more or
less Fictitious addresses.
Mr.. Potter said that il was not a
statute but authority for the women OF
Newton who had some regard for pets.
IL Is not intended for the man who has
a house with a ten-acre lot behind IT,
but for the poor fiat dweller who has a
pet animal and no place 10 put the re-

ENORMOUS IMPORTS
OF COPPER METALS
Canada and Mexico Furnish
Great Quantities for
Smelling.

A curious feature OF our copper bust
ness. says the Department Of Commerce
in a bulletin issued on the subject, is
found In the fact that. although the
United States produces one-half OF the
worlds copper and exports far more
than any other country. II is also one
OF the largest importers Of that com
modify.
The value % copper imported into the
United States in 1906 was over $37, OO0, coo,
including in this tctal IS, 80, 900 worth Of
copper ore. while we were at the same
time exporting 100000 worth of that
metal. including in this sum a little less
than 100000 Of copper ore, Of copper
ingots nearly $S5.O0COOO and q ether
copper manufactures between S4,OOO, 900
and 100000
This anomaly Of the greatest copper
producing country in the worla import
ing such large quantities OF copper
grows. apparently, out Of the fact that
the United States has superior smelling
and refining facilities. and that the cop
per from its immediate neighbOrs north
and sOuth-Canada and Mexico-hows TO
its smelling establishments and refner-
les.
A considerable part OF the pig copper
imported Is brought in for the purpose
Of extracting the precious metal which
II contains, and a part Of this comes
from European countries.

ence, son Of WILDER Harrison. a coal
mine operator at Nyesville, this county,

morning, he found the gasOlene engine
frozen up. He placed live Goals on top
to thaw Il out, and then proceeded to

easily. In doing this he got some Of the
gasolene on his trousers and II ignited

out the blaze. His brother ran TO his
aiG. and seeing the bucket. which he
supposed contained water, he dashed

ground and smothering It. the young
man was terribly burned. the skin COM
ing off in patches from his legs as the
remains Of his trousers were pulled of.
Fortunately the fire only reached 70
his breast and he did not inhale the
flames. Some silver dollars in his pocket
were fused together by the fire and his
paper money was destroyed. Though
terribly burned, IL is thought the young
man will recover.
