Singular Illusion on the Danube, Near

Belgrade.
Approaching Belgrade we saw Gu
rious sight. The banks were very high
and bare; behind them appeared TO be
tumbling hills almost destitute of vege-
tation. Looking shoreward we saw what
seemed to be Il black ball rolling with in
credible swiftness down a steep fssure

Appleton'S $. Another followed it: two
more; a dozen, Il score Il hundred then
jects pouring endlessly down the gully
and across the beach to the water. where
they collected in solid masses. But still
they came, like marbles rolling down a
trough, and it was not until we had got
our glasses on them that we discovered
them to be thousands of black pigs com
ing down to drink Hot on their heels
came a like number of gray, fluffy balls,
which proved to be sheep. They did not

they were careful to get upstream Of

dent which occurred farther down the
river. AS we were blowing along we
saw two men in n boat some distance
ahead, who appeared to be in a mass Of
debris which stretched almost from bank
to bank. As we drew near we were
puzzled to make out what the stuff was.
Hundreds of polished stakes projected
from the surface Of the water and
seemed TO be drifting slowly toward the
bank. Coming closer We saw that it was
big herd of Hungarian cattle chang
ing pasture by swimming from one bank
to the other, and what had puzzled us
were the horns, which. until we were
quite close, were all that were visible

METAL LOSS and
GAINS IN The
Different STATES
SILVER, COPPER, LEAD AND
ZINC IN THE CENTRAL
STATES IN 1908

The geological survey has just is
sued a report on the production of
silver, copper, lead and zinc in the
central states in 1908, prepared by
B. S. Butler and c. E. Siebenthal
from statistics received from the
mines.
The states covered by the report
are Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma
and Wisconsin. The mines in this
group of states report a decrease
in the production of these metals
from that of 1907 amounting in
value to $21,370,754, or more than
81 per cent, the figures for the two
years being $77,697,457 and $780,
326,703, respectively.
Big Loss in Copper
The most notable decrease was
in the production of copper, which
showed a loss of $14,079,602, or
more than 32 per cent, the figures
for 1907 and 1908 being $43,553,-
456 and $29,473,S44. Michigan
was the principal copper mining
state in this group in 1908, the 9TH
er states mining chiefly lead and
zinc Most of the silver produced
is derived from ores that carry
mainly copper or lead.
Loss in Lead Production
The loss in lead production in
these states amounted to S2,633.-
$50, or II per cent, principally in
Missouri, the chief lead mining and
zinc mining state in the country.
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas. Kentucky
and Wisconsin, however, also had a
greatly diminished lead production
The lead product of the central
states in 1907 and 1908 amounted
to $15,516,174 and $12,SS2,324.
Decreased Output of Zinc
The loss in zinc production in
this section-S4.595,4 36. or % per
cent-was divided among three
states. Kansas. Missouri and Wis
consin. The figures for 1907 and
1908 are s1S,411,0S6 and S13,S15.-
