He ate and he ate in the dark Of the
night
And when the day came not IN egg

instead!
Hi, no, see the chips fly!
Farmer Browns boy sang as he
swung his keen x and the chips did
fly. They flew out on the white snow
in all directions. And the louder
Farmer Browns boy sang the faster
the chips flew. Farmer Browns boy
had come to the green forest bright
and early that morning, and he had
made UP his mind that he would take
home a fat possum for dinner. He
didn't have the least doubt about 1t
and that is why he sang as he made
the chips fly. He had tracked that
possum right up to that tree and there
were no tracks going away from it,

USED FOR FIREWORKS

Strontium is apparently one of the
minerals which the United States
neither produces or imports in any
large quantities. according to J. NJ.
Hill of the United States Geological
Survey. In 1911 only $44 worth of
strontium salts were imported, and
this supply seems to have been suffi-
cient for two years.
Stronium nitrate, however, was pro.
badly imported as there was little ap.
parent diminution in the manufac-
ture of fireworks, in spite OF safe and
sane Fourths throughout the country
and in this industry stronium salts
are used to produce red fire" The
salts most commonly used by the max
ers of pyrotechnics are gruped with
a large number OF chemicals mot 9TH
erwise provided for" by the tariff
schedules. so that no record of the
imports of any special kind is poss.
ible.
