declares ]. F. Legard in the Pail Mall
Magazine. During ones walks OF
rides through the town it is quite the
exception to be spat at, as is often the
case in other ra-Mohammedau
towns. and the crowd is, on the whole
merely smiling and inquisitive. like a
crowd in Naples or any other south
Italian town. Now and then some
fanatic-generally all epileptic-will try
to raise a disturbance and will be
gently removed by his friends-the
Moors are kindness itself in the face OF
poverty or affiiction-but, except fol

THE HISTORY OF ZINC.
Introduced Into Europe From India
Under Several Names.

introduced Into Europe From India
Under Several Names.
Zinc was introduced into Europe in
the seventeenth or eighteenth century
by men from India 1t was known
then as calaem. splauter or tuttanego
and was the same metal which the IA
nous alchemist. Andreas Lebavius. de-
scribed in 1900 and which he declared
consisted Of silver. cadmia. mercury
and arsenic.
Late in the sixteenth century keen
competition was going on between the
Portuguese and the Dutch in the In.
dian seas. and. Portuguese ship hav.
ing been captured by the Dutch. her
cargo Of calaem or "Indinn tin" found
its way into Europe. Nobody at that
time knew what it was. and it was a
piece of this cargo that became the
subject of analysis by Lebavius.
Zinc. it seems. was first produced in
India. but soon became an important
industry in China. The first Chinese
book which mentions zinc. calling 1t va
yuen. according to the Engineering and
Mining Journal. is the Tienkonggaiou
or Technical Encyclopedia. China was
the sole producer of zinc until the mid
die Of the eighteenth century. disre

1.-THE Yankee Girl"

The play tells a we'll connected
story of a jolly American girls expe-
rience in a Southern republic, who,
while travelling with her father pro-
tects his business interests from jap
anese schemers who try to get con-
troll of mines that are his property.
There are many amusing situations
and the lines are bright and replete
with witty repartee. One of the most
laughable scenes is a travesty on a
battle waged between the government
and insurgent forces of the little re-
public.
Miss Ring is happily cast. She plays
the girl around whom the plot revolves
and she sings rollicking songs in her
own delightful way. Mr.. Winninger
has a German character part, employ
ing a tangle tongue dialect that en-
ables him to provoke much laughter.
The play will be at the Gennett,
September II.

Polar Pictures Today.

Today at the Gennett the famous
motion pictures taken under the aus
pieces of the Carnegie expedition will
be shown, and continue through Thurs
day and Friday.
One of the coolest places in the
city this week will be that theater,
where the spectators, while the sun
outside is running the thermometer
skyward, are witnessing the moving
pictures of the polar regions. These
pictures were taken by the Carnegie
expedition and depict with remark
able interest the life of the far north
The cinemetograph views are espe
cially notable for their extraordinary
quality. They are as entertaining as
a drama, and of course, incidentally
instructive. Few persons know much
of the conditions that prevail beyond
the southern limits of the arctic cir
Gle. and a splendid opportunity is al
hand to learn more of these ice bound
regions by viewing the Carnegie pic
lures.
