THE HISTORY OF ZINC.
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 MS calacm. splauter Or %tuttancgo
and was the same metal which the ia
nous alchemist. Andrcas Lebavius, de-.
scribed in 1906 and which he declared
consisted Of silver, cadmia, mercury
and arsenic. .... ...us...
Late in the sixteenth century keen
competition was going on between the
Portuguese and the Dutch in the In
dian seas. and. a Portuguese ship hay
ing been captured by the Dutch. her
cargo Of calaem or Indian 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 it 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-
garding a minute quantity Of that met
al which was occasionally obtained as
a byproduct in the lead furnaces Of
Goslar in the Harz mountains.-New

USED SAGE TEA
49, 50 7T Ef. IN
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.

It is easier to preserve the color Of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made q sage tea,,' and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but theya are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom Of
our gr%andmothers in using ''sage tea
fortheir hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage Of the past in that it can get q
re%ady-to-use preparation called yeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
Sage tea" made BY our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty Of the hair
depends on q healthy condition Of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair Of its life, color and
lustre, makesthe scalpsclean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes It grow. :

ROBERTS Tells
BAD Land TRIP
Foreign Processes Afforded
Considerable Amusement
On Horseback
We're Highly Pleased with the
Treatment They Received
At Bismarck

at was the grandest and most en-
joyable trip | have ever made" is the
way that o. w. Roberts, director of
the local weather bureau, told of his
trip through the Bad Lands with the
Foreign and American Geographers.
"As for amusement, it surpassed any
thing | ever saw and | was weak
from laughing twenty-four hours after
| left the party" Mr.. Roberts accom-
panied the excursion as far as Glen
dive and returned to the city Thurs
day evening. He acted as a guide
through the Bad Lands and explained
the formations of this notable spot to
the g~eographers.
The excursion arrived at Medora
early Monday morning and the geo.
graphers deserted the palace coaches
for bronchos. Equipped with their
field glasses and cameras, the party
left Medora escorted by a few COW.
boys who went along to act as guides.
Mr.. Roberts states that the trip was
amusing from when they left the train
until they returned. When asked to
relate the most amusing incident Of
the trip, he told the following story;
Belgiuf professor who was perched
upon a rather cratic broncho was the
victim of much amusement for the
Americans. We were ascending a
steep hill, when the professor, with a
lighted cigar in his hand, turned
around, and, waving his hand in every
direction, called my attention to the
grand scenery, and in letting his hand
drop he touched the broncho in the
flank with the ligted cigar. Almost
at the same instant the cigar touched
the broncho | say the professor going
over the saddle horn and alighting on
the animals neck. One more buck
by the animal and they were off on
what proved to be the most exciting
ride the professor ever experienced.
The enraged animal started up the
hill on a mad gallop, while the pro-
fessor was cinglng to the sadie horn
and yelling 'Pooph!. Pooph! Pooph!'
"A cowboy started in pursuit and man,
aged to overtake the broncho and its
rider just as they we're disappearing
owe .-e hill. The professor leaped
from the animal and wanted an ex.
PLANTATION from me why the bronchc
would not stop when he yelled, what
meant in English stop After con
siderable ~coaxing the professor again
mounted the animal, but watched

STRANGERS In Fee,

"The people Of Fez are charming"
declares ]. T. Legard in the Pail Mall
Magazine. During ones walks or
rides through the town it is quite the
exception to be spat at, as is often the
case in other tra-Mohammedan
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 an epileptic-will try
to raise a disturbance and will be
gently removed by his friends-the

these and a few casua: curses from

placed in front Of those streets leading
up to the tomb Of Moulai ldriss, the
founder and patron saint Of Fez."

A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Il is a Very Impressive and Most Won.
derful Spectacle.

Il is a Very Impressive and Most Won.
derfuI Spectacle.
One Of the most beautiful and inter
esting sights to be seen is an eclipse
Of the sun 1t Is quite 4 remarkable
fact that the sun Is 400 times as broad
ms the moon and at the same time Is
about 400 times rs far away. So to
us they appear to be the same size.
A total eclipse Of the sun is a very
impressive and wonderful sight. says
Harold w. Clark in Farm and Home.
As the time of the total eclipse
draws near the darkness increases.
About ton minutes before totality the
darkness can almost be felt, Mems
faces show a copper color. which
makes them look CHASTITY. Birds cease
their songs and so to roost. Flowers
close, and an awful stiffness rests
upon all the face Of Nature. The tenn.
perature falls and dew appears. Then
away to the west we see the shadow
Of the moon coming with almost terri
flying swiftness. It comes mt the rate
OF 1000 miles an hour and pounccs
upon us SO suddenly that we are star
tied.
Looking at the sum-. we see it wholly
covered by the moon. but surrounded
by a brilliant light that flashes ont al;
around it. This is the corona and is
seen only during total eclipses. The
eclipse lasts only for four or five min
utes. and then the shadow Of the
moon passes us. and we can see the
sun again.
II we should ever be SO fortunate as
to get a chance to see a total solar
eclipse we should count ourselves
lucky indeed. 1t would be worth 60
Ing many miles to sec.
