M ANCIENT CHIP Of
 HISTORIC INTEREST
Phoenix Man Has a Souvenir of the
 Battleship "Constitution"

Count Jacob Melnik, who since he
 threw off the yoke of Emperor Will
 helm in 1892. has become a very pa
 triotic and aggressive American, has in his possession a highly prized sou venir that was brought to him from far away Boston by friend It is a piece of oak wood about four inches long. three inches wide and an inch and a half thick, sawn from a timber in the historic old frigate, Constitu- tion. As the old fighting craft was built in 1797. this particular piece of timber is pretty well seasoned. Just when the old oak tree was a budding sapling in a Yankee forest would be pretty hard to guess but it is quite likely it may often have protected the red skinned warriors as they sent their venomed shafts into the vitals of the pilgrim fathers.
 However that may be, it did vali- ant service for their great grandchil- dren. the ancestors of the present day and generation. The first great claim or the Constitution to fame was in July, 1912 when, under command of Captain Isaac Hull. about a month after the declaration of war with England she fell in with a squadron of five of the enemy's ships. one of them the Guerriere, and though it was in an almost dead calm she showed her opponents a clean pair of heels. About a month later, or on August 19, she met the Guerriere about one third of the way across the Atlantic, and defeated the ship, which was burned. Returning to Boston, Captain Bainbridge succeeded Captain Hull and December 29 of the same year she met and whipped the Java. February 20, 1915. she captured the Cyana and Levant
 This particular block of wood which the count has is as firm and solid as any piece of oak. except on one side where the weathered appearance be- tokens either crack or rough joint. One of the edges bears a thick coat of white enamel, made from sue ceeding applications of paint. Curi- ously the side exposed by the saw gives the suggestion that the wood is of such solid texture that the oil in the paint scarcely penetrated it. the pigment having formed a thick enamel without discoloring the grain of the wood beneath, in the slightest degree.
 In 1880 it was proposed to dismantle the ship and sell her. This excited much public indignation for the old hulk had become sentimentally sacred to the American people. She was afterward used as a school-ship. later a receiving ship at Portsmouth, N. IT., and in 1897 was taken to Boston. It was on the occasion of a more recent overhauling that the wooden souvenir

THE PRODUCTION OF MINERAL

The people of the United States spend about S2000O0,00 every year for

 covering $40,0O0. .0OO The railroads pay yearly about S20. .0OO. 900 of this sum one tenth of the cOuntry's annual paint
 bill. As reported by the geological survey. the production of natural min
 eral pigments in the United States in 1909 exceeded that in 1908 by about 23 per cent; the value of the output ex- ceeded the value for 1908 by about fl per cent. The production in 1908 was 49.S53 short tons, valued at s536.544: the production in 1909 was 61,137 short tons, valued at s613.133. The sub stances covered by these statistics are Ocher. umber. sienna. metallic paint, mortar cOlOrs. ground slate and ground shale, and the increase in output and value was confined to the four classes last named Georgia and Pennsylvania produced most Of the Ocher; Pennsyl- vania and New York produced most of the metallic paint and mortar colors, which are made of red and brown OK ides of iron; Pennsylvania and New Jersey produced most of the ground slate and shale. Pigments made di- rectly from lead and zinc ores were produced in the United States in 1909 to the values of $7.963,332. represent ing S7,525 short tons. The quantity and value for 1908 were 75.133 tons ami $6,946.2S3. These pigments include sublimed white and blue lead. zine lead and zinc oxide. the last forming by far the larger part of the product. The production of chemically prepared pig ments-basic carbonate white lead. red lead, litharge. orange mineral and Ve- netian red-also made in 1909 a decided increase over that of the preceding year. The figures are 1S2,364 short tons in 1908, valued at s20,70S,940, and 211,6S7 tons in 1909 valued at $24.255,- 620.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes produced one of his most famous poems under the title of "Old Ironsides," the nickname that had come to be applied to the fight ing vessel. After reciting something of the historic achievements of the Constitution. the poet says: Ay, tear her tattered ensign down,
 Long has it waved on high. And many an eye has danced to see
 That banner in the sky; Beneath it rung the battle shout.
 And burst the cannon's roar:- The meteor of the ocean air
 Shall sweep the clouds no more. Her deck. once red with heroes blood.
 Where knelt the varquished foe, When winds were hurrying OCT the
 flood.
 And waves were white below. No more shall feel the victor's tread.
 Or know the conquered knee;- The harpies of the shore shall pluck
 The eagle of the sea, Oh, better that her shattered hulk
 Should sink beneath the wave: Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
 And there should be her grave; Nail to the mast her holy flag.
 Set every threadbare sail. And give her to the god of storms,
