FEW CANARIEs COMING HERE
Blockade of German Ports Keeps Birds In
Fatherland

Those who may have been under the inn
preston that canary birds imported into this
country como from the Canary Islands will suf-
fer a severe disillusionment at this timo. es-
pecialy if the family thinks that a canary bird
Is needed. and someone proceeds to buy
canary. The fact is. that in times Of peace ca
nary birds come from the Hartz Mountains, in
Germany, where they bred by the peas
ants in garrcts and spare Of their cot
tages Ono New York Arm alone imports
100000 canaries annually.
At present no canares can be bought in the
bird stores because of the blockade of German
ports Ordinarily, these birds sell for S35 to $50
per dozen The individual bird is sold his
merits, as indicated by his looks and his voice.
The female canary is n poor singer and sells
for half the price of the male. The birds sing
best between the ages Of half-year and six
years. Frequently they live to be II years old.
The bird dealers also suffer from lack Of
cages for other birds. The canaries shipped
in individual wooden cages made in Germany
and sent in lots Of 100 to 500. These birds
have to be fed daily canary seed and hard
boiled eggs we'll given fresh water
skilled attendant has to accompany them on
the voyage and frequently a young peasant
earns his travelling expenses to this country in

QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION
Slight Decrease Shown In Worlds Aggregate
Last Year


The quicksilver production Of the world dur
ing 1913 is estimated al All metric tons, against
1860 tons in 1912 and 4OS3 tons IN l911 The
countries of production last year were: United
States. 6Ss tons; Austria Hungary. $50 tons; It
aly 9SS tons; Spain. 1890 tons; Mexico and
others, $50 tons. These figures were gathered
by the United States Geological Survey.
quicksilver is used mainly in the manufacture
of illuminate for explosive caps. of drugs, of
electric appliances and scientific apparatus. and
in the recovery of precious metals. especially
gold, by amalgamatlon A new use in Scotland
is the floating Of lights of lighthouses upon a
body Of quicksilver. in England, in the
United States and possibly elsewhere. is the
coating of ships bottoms with paint contain
Ing quicksilver to prevent organic growth. AIer-
curic oxide (red oxide of mercury is the ac-
tive poison in anti-fouing paint successfully
used on ships bottoms The metal appears to
be little employed in silverins mirrors as nj
trate of silver is now chiefly used for the pur-
pose. Increasing Of quicksilver Is probably
to he expected in the manufacture Of electrical
appliances and OF Eliminates, and tossiby Of
paints for protective coatings on metals
The demand for quicksilver for amalgamatnE
gold and silver has greatly decreased, as is we'll
known, with the decreased supply Of free mill
ing ores and the increased application of cyani-
dotion to gold and silver ores. Industrial chem
istry and inventive genius TO be looked to
for increasing the demand
