 BOSTON, Aug. 2.-It is now practi- calIv certain that the large producers and handlers of coppers including the limited Metals Selling Company, Pheips-Dodge & CO. and Calumet St Hecla will make a further reduction in the price of copper metal before many weeks have elapsed. The pro ducers and consumers will get to- gether for the purpose of arriving at some decision as to the price basis at which business can be done, IL IS admitted by one of the largest copper firms in the country. No copper IS being sold at the so-called regular prices of 22 cents fer electrolytic and B for lake. The United Metals Sell ing Company copper caught up to Its deliveries on the first of this month and there are a number of large pro ducers who are beginning to aecumu late stocks. This is the first time II oyer Q year that there has been any pronounced evidence of copper stocl , accumulation.

COOPER TELLS OF
 COPPER USES

in the manufacture of eyelet holes for shoes.
 Tt is not generally realized to what extent copper enters into the manu- fracture of small cans for miscellane- kus purposea For instance. am told that in the sale of Mennen's toilet powder there are used annually over 6.o00,000 small cans, in the man. ufacture of which copper is an import ant component part. This year over 100000 cans will be manufactured for this one article.
 Tn other words, copper is coming to play a vital part in the worlds civ ilization, and in such a degree that I believe the corresponding diversi- fication of copper uses will prevent any large accumulation of the metal and operate against any wide-open cut in price"

NO PARALLEL 10 BIG HECLA
 EARNINGS
Annual Report Shows Profit of SIS Per Share During Year Ending April 30-Low Cost Per Pound.

Boston-From the annual report of the Calumet & Hecla co. for the year ended April 80 we estimate net earn ings. at $1l ,297, 900, or almost SIS per share. The company does not state the amount of gross or net earn ings, nor does it give details as to operating costs, but comparison of the surplus accounts for the past two years. taken in connection with the company's share investments (from earningsl and dividends paid, results in net profits as above stated.
 These are the largest net earnings in the history of the company and stand without paralletl in the history of mining investments.
 The profits were derived from a metal market which probably aver aged the company g cents a pound for the period in position. The cost per pound of copper was very close to S1-4 cents
 Of conrse the most striking feature of the report, other than its remark able earnings, is the statement that he company has purchased 42,9T9 shares of Allouez, 46,0S0 shares of Centennial and 22,e71 shares of Os- ceola at a total cost of 1898, ,267- This investment marks the first venture of the company in he investment shares of going properties. The in- vestment was made entirely from earnings and surplus, and no capital liability has resulted therefrom.
 The report states that the openings on the Osceola amygdaloid are most encouraging. the output from that lode for the year having been 6,S92,- 54S pounds per annum-a good sized mine in itself and only in the initial stages of it's productive career.
 Concerning La. ale the report or that company shows an unexpended balance of cash on hand April 30 last of 1920 573. The development work started by the Tecumseh and Cald- well companies has been continued with fairly satisfactory results as to the showing of copper" On the prop .srty formerly worked by the Cald- well the two shafts are bottomed in the ledge.
 At the Gratiot the copper showing is declared to be encouraging; at the Manitou there have been no satisfac- tory results to date.
 With the completion of the improve ments to the stamp mill, where Is stamps are now equipped for opera lions. together with the favorable oe' velopments on the osceola and Rear sage lodes. the Calumet & Heela Is today in position to make a larger output than ever before and at a cost per pound the equal of any figures made in recent years. On the Osee' ola lode the company has no less than 91 200 feet of openings, or over T. miles. Of course the cost of ali this work has been charged to current m come as, in fact, are all the expendi lures made for construction and i'm movements

 Bisbee, August 2, 1907.
 There was a noticeable improve ment in the market today and most all stocks made good gains up until noon when there was a slight reac- ton but most of the coppers showed gain for the day The curbs also took on some strength. with Denn and American the features. especially the latter which advanced to s10.75 bid with offerings light. Denn has been firm around S11.75 and showed good strength at the close. Superior & Pittsburg is in fair demand and bids of $16.12 fail to locate any. There is fair demand for Warren and Black Mountain at present prices. Wolyer- inc & Arizona and Butte & Arizona continue strong with little change in price. The balance of the list shows slight changes.

tricks failed to impress them in the least.
 How could the audience be kept under % control and its interest kept up rom beginning to end? Ahl thought one manager, music will help us out; 30 he tried the experiment of hiring lively band and having 1t play loud ana merrily when nothing was doing, ana stop short the moment some perform ance was begun! This brought the audience up sharp and fixed their whole and undivided attention on the per formers.
 So that explains the invariaple pres ence of bands in circuses.
 By far the most interesting men in circus are the animal-trainers. First of all they must have certain qualities -persuasiveness, gentleness and yet plenty of flrmness and great kindli- ness. There qualities make the people possessing them most interesting, espe- cially when you behold the wonderful results achieved through them in the training of horses. elephants and other animals.
 You would be surprised if you could see how quickly these animals forget their stunts; how patiently the train- CTS have to go all over their work again.
 Perhaps you have noticed that at times trained animals quite refuse to perform properly when they are out on the stage. Stubbornness and change

TheBird Catcher

THO play this game you must first
 decide which one of you is to
 \ be the bird catcher; the other players then each choose the name of a bird, but no one must choose the owl as it is forbidden.
 All the players then sit in circle with their hands on their knees, eX- cept the bird catcher, who stands in the centre, and tells tale about birds. taking care to specially mention the ones he knows to have been chosen by the company.
 As each birds name is called, the owner must initiate it's note as we'll as he can, but when the owl is named. all hands must, be put behind the chairs, and rer1ain there until the next birds name is mentioned.
 Wben the bird catcher cries "all the birds" the players must together give their various limitations of birds. Should any player fail to give the cry when his bird is named, or forget to put his hands behind his chair. he has to change places with the bird catcher.

NE of the most singular ferries

 A certain native, who lived near a branch of the GangeS, rescued from a tiger a rajah, and in a transport of gratitude the latter presented him with one of the finest and largest ele' plants he possessed.
 Only a rich man could support an elephant, and the rescuer was threat ened with absolute ruin, as the animal would eat him out of house and home in month.
 There was no way out of the diffi- culty, as, according to the unwritten law a gift of this kind could not be given away or sold without subject ing the glver to punishment, so tho poor owner of the elephant saw him. self staring ruin in the face, the huge creature keeping him engaged all day hauling food for it.

Nicknames in the British
 Navy

IA ICKNAMES in the British navy M are governed by iron rules of tradition; they never alter. and custom ordains that individuals blessed with the more popular patronymics shall become known by everything entirely different
 For instance, if you were a sailor and your name were Wright, 1t Is quite probable that you would never hear 1t mentioned throughout your career in the service, save, perhaps, by officers upon d few special occasions.
 Your shipmates would know yo0~ as "Shiner," and "Shiner you would re- main until promotion placed you beyond reach of pleasantries. Similarly all Clarkes are called "Nobby," ali Greens Jimmy" and all Whites "KnockerS
 Why this should be so nobody knows; the usual mists of antiquity veil the ori- gin of these strange transformations. There does pes seem see 06 !o be some reason the Dusty MIllers; and the 'Lofties'' and 'Shorties" need no explanation.
 Jack tars of the brunette order are al- ways dubbed "Nigger." the reason be- ing obvious, whilst sailors of the heavy build are called "Bargey' or Hubby" to taste.
 Even the bright particular stars of the quarterback are not exempt from the dictates of custom.
 The captain is invariably either the "owner" or the Skipper" while the commander or the lower deck Is the "Bloke" and the first lieutenant Jim my the One.'
 Departmental officers are known by departmental names; thus the gunnery lieutenant is either Guns" or the Gun nery Jack" the torpedo lieutenant ''Sparks" or the Torpedo Jack' ana the navigating officer Navy"
 Then, again, there are names existing in the British navy today which were extant long before Nelson's time, for in every ship you will find Tommy Pipes" the boatswain; Chips" the carpenter; Jimmy Bungs," the cooper, and 'Sails'' the sailmaker; while last, but not least. that autocrat of the upper deck, the chief boatswains mate, is still desig- mated by the almost majestic title of the Chief Buffer"

 Winnie opened her eyes very wide
 "Do they?" she asked.
 Indeed, yes. Just watch Pussy as she sits in front of the fire; see how carefully she combs her fur with her sharp claws, and brushes it down into place with her rough tongue. If her little-she will spend a long time making 1t neat and smart again.
 Next time you visit some Zoo and go to the monkey house look at the cages all around the walls and in them you will very likely see curious little creatures called lemurs. If you notice them carefully you will see that their middle fingers are very long. They use these as combs, anc with them keep their coats spick and span. Then there is an animal called the flying lemur, which has perhaps the best comb of all, and that tsJts lower front tooth. It is quite a large tooth, and the edge of 1t is just like the comb
 "oh. how funny" exclaimed Winnie.
 And just look how birds smooth their feathers down with their peaks. My, if they were to let them grow just any. how. they would look frightfully ragged Notice the flies. too, how carefully they brush their heads with their fore- legs, and their wings with their hind legs, while bees have a kind of comb on each front leg with which they clean the delicate feelers on their heads.
 You know what an ant is like, of course We'll, some ants not only have combs on their legs, like the bees, but brushes as well.

This wonder of the plant world was seventy feet or more in height until the year 1919, when during terrific storm one of the large branches was broken off. A similar storm in 1867 stripped the trunk of its remaining branches, and left it stand ing alone.
 This tree derives its common name from q reddish exudation known as dragons blood. found inthe sepulchral
