be in q fair way to have Justice done him, at
least in one important West Indian island,
a. will be seen from the interesting Report
headed Damage to Cane Crop by Rats,
which we reprint this morning from the
B0rbadOS Globe.
The mong3ose has not been fairly treated.
He was introduced from the East Indies
into these western islands to do a certain
work, and it is more than probable that he
has done it. N doubt he has done many
other things besides, and some of the accuse
tons brought against him are true enough,
but on the other hand some have beeu false,
either Intentionally or by mistake. For ex-
ample, there i, the chicken story; it is exceed
ingly likely that he captures one of the little
trotting yellow balls now and again or per-
hapS even a fenthered youth; bus that his
depredations are considerable is not proba-
BILE. In the first place the hens have learn
ed to defend their broods, and in the next
place it is doubtful whether the mon
goose captures moe chickens than he
rats, which he has put out of the way,
would have taken. Besides this we must
remember that a two legged mongoose
may come along now an again and may
j"oyfully allow the bad reputation of the
little dumb creature to cover his own
misdeeds That there is not much in the

fact that neither fowls nor eggs have be-
come scarcer or dearer.
The has been libelled by people
who did not know even what he is. One
writer on Jamaica referred to him as "that
destructive bird" The name suggested that
idea, and some people want to make the pIu-
raj "mongeese," seeming to think that it
looks ignorant to say "mongooses", which,
however, is right. The awkward sound is
got rid of if we adopt another common spell
ing, "Mongoust" which then becomes in the
plural "mongousts', to which the ear makes
no objection.
1t must be allowed that the mongoOse is
no beauty, yet when in the middle of u road
he sits up on his hind legs and strong tail,
kangaroo fashion, with his front legs held
ont before him, and looks up and down the
road to see what chance there may DE OF any
thing turning up for breakfast, he is au in
teresting little creature. We don't like him
for reducing the numbers of our wild birds,
and some of us don't like his taking our
snakes and iguanas, which must nov be
nearly, if not quite, extinct but we must
pay in some way for the service he renders,
SO we may we'll let him alone, or at all events
keep clear Of the Barbados mistake which it
is now proposed to correct.

HEAVIEST EARTH.
QUAKE in U. s.

Reference to the New Madrid earth
quake harks back great many years,
and there are doubtless many who are
not aware that during 1911 and 1912
the most severe earthquake in the
history of the United States was re-
corded in the central Mississippi val
ley. The catastrophes at San Fran
cisco and Charleston are famous be-
cause fthe loss that they caused
and suffering that followed in their
wake. In severity and extent of dis
turbance, however, they are not to be
compared with that which occurred
principally in southeastern Missouri.
northeastern Arkansas and western
Kentucky and Tennessee during the
year following December 16, 1871. The
Charleston and San Francisco dis
turbances were acutely felt because
they affected the congested popula-
tion and the structures in two large
cities. The New Madrid earthquake
left no marked impression on the his.
tory of the country, because although
far more severe and prolonged it oc-
Cured ma sparsely settled and at
that time unimportant region. The
!
cisco quake occupied only few min
utes; that in the lower Mississippi val
ley persisted at intervals for more
than year and held the few residents
in constant state of terror or appre-
hension.
The history of the New Madrid
earthquake has until recently been
widely scattered in the writings of
ma vuho sx,
GENTLY close to th eregion to record
the events Several authors have
published brief accounts of the oc-
currence. In Bulletin 494 of the Unit
ed States geological survey a very
complete record of the events, alb
stracted from previous writings, and a
discussion of the effects have been
brought together by Myron l.. Fuller.
This bulletin is of marked interest to
the reading public, but it also has a
high scientific value in that it makes
an important permanent addition to
the readily available earthquake rec
ords and literature
The tremors of this earthquake were
felt by people in Canada, Detroit,
New Orleans, Washington and Boston,
the last named place being 1,100 miles
distant Island No. "a, in the Mis-
sissippi river near, Vicksburg, Miss,
diappeared completely. A large area
of land near Piney river, Tennessee,
sank until the tree tops were on
level with the surrounding country,
and alarm was felt in the cities of
Louisville and Cincinnati. 1t was in
the region now known as the st.
Francis basin, however, that the most
marked effects took place. In certain
parts the land surface was uplifted
and in other parts there was great
subsistence. The latter have since
been known as the ''sunk lands,' be-
ing usually covered with water and,
unless artifcially drained, without ag-
ricultural value, even though compos-
ed fthe best soil of the continent.-

COPPER OUTPUT
OF UNITED STATES

The copper mines of the United
States have produced more than fifteen
and quarter billion pounds of cop
per, and of this total twelve mining
districts have produced in excess of
100,000,000 pounds each, according to
the United States geological survey.
These twelve districts, located in eight
states, have yielded 94.69 per cent of
the total output of the country since
1S45, when the total product of the
United States was but little more
than 100000 pounds. These districts
are Butte, Mont, which has yielded s.
100000 pounds, or 34.75 per cent
of the total production, Lake Superior,
Mich, which has yielded 4,756,000,000
pounds; Bisbee, Ariz., 1,285,OOO,00O
pounds; Morenci- Metcalf, Ariz., S82,-
100000 pounds; Jerome, Ariz., 570,-
100000 pounds; Bingham, Utah, 1885,
100000 pounds, Shasta county, CAL,
1886, 100000 pounds; Globe, Ariz., 334,-
100000 pounds; Ducktown, Tenn, 211,-
100000 pounds; Ely, New, 125,000,00O
pounds; the foothill belt, California,
104, 100000 pounds; and Santa Rita,
New Mexico, (where mining is believ-
ed to have been begun as far back as
1s00) 03,000,00O pounds. All other
districts have produced S04,3O0,00O
pounds.
1t is interesting to note from the
United States geological surveys re-
port on copper production for 1910
that the first ten of these districts are
also the first ten largest producers to-
day, although the order is slightly
changed. These ten districts yielded
933.S4 per cent of the production for
1910. The United States is by far the
greatest copper producing country,
our smelter output of copper in 1910
being 56.75 per cent of the total for
the world
Nearly every one of the leading cop
producing districts of the United
States, according to the geological sur
vey, made a record output within the
three years preceding 1910, and nearly
every one of them could have done SO
in 1910 so far as the ability of the
mines to produce the ore was concern
ed. An Indifferent copper market and
metalIurgical difficulties, however, re-
suited in decrease in the output for
1910 for several districts.
Probably increased Production in 1912
The surveys estimate of January 2,
1912, indicates a copper output for
1911 greater than that of 1910 and
nearly equal to the record production
of 1909. 1t is further stated that
most of the companies are now in a
position to maintain or even increase
their present output, so that, if the
consumption of the metal will permit,
the production of copper in the United
States for 1912 may be expected to
show marked increase. 1t is note
worthy that not one of the leading
copper districts of the United States,
several of which have been active pro-
ducers for 30 years or more, has been
worked out or shown decrease in its
ability to produce copper.
