The first serious effort made in
America TO produce a guide book
equal to Baedeker was in 1910, when
Houghton- Miffin Company published
"Terry's Mexico. At that time it was
shown that American printers could
not only duplicate, but could improve
upon the familiar type Of European
guide book, and that our Workmen
could draw clearer and better maps
than those which for so many years
have been the specially of the Leipzig
establishment. Mr.. Terry's latest
book, THE Japanese Empire" is a
guide book for travellers in Japan,
Korea and Formosa. In view of the
fact that it was our own Commodore
Perry who broke in upon japanese
seclusion and forced the country open
to the world. 1t is peculiarly fitting
that an American should explain
Japan to the prospective traveller. and
show him how to visit the country
understandinSly.

galvanized iron; Great Britain export
ed little of the metal, but 6S1.269 short
tons of galvanized iron. The greater
part Of this business should fall into
the hands of our producers.
1t has been estimated by the geolog-
zinc will fall off by nearly 100000 short
tons if the war shall continue for {.
year. Much of this zinc, of course,
represents European consumption,
which viii also either fall away or be
greatly diminished. The government
experts estimate, however, that an I'M
affected foreign market will remain
able to absorb about 200, 900 short tons
of zinc year and large quantities OF
galvanized iron and other zinc prod
ucts.
Great quantities of zinc are used In
making white paint. about $4,000 tons
of this metal yearly going into the
paint manufacture in this country. 1t
is used in still larger quantities for
the protection of iron against erosion
in galvanizing processes. 1t is con-
stituent part of brass and is used with
out alloy in sheeting. In various COM
pounds it is also used in medicine.
Zinc chloride is a powerful caustfc,
while in other compounds 1t is used as
coagulent and as an emetic.
Our zinc industry stands an excellent
chance of gaining world command
through the war. and as this can mean
no great increase in price to home con-
sumers, it is a circumstance in which
all Americans can unreservedly re-
joice.

How the War Affects Us.
xxIV.--Zinc Products.
BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

Almost overnight to find themselves
without a competing foreign neighbor
and in complete control of the zinc
production of the world has been the
experience of the United States spelter
producers. The situation is in sub
stance that wherever this BLUSH WI ite
metal is used American mines and
ssnelters must furnish 1t. Should the
war In Europe drag on and on, domi-
nance of the worlds zinc market will
become permanently centered in this
country. The zinc situation is only an
other reason for the wonderment of
our people over Europe's failure to
consider the United Stanes' prepared
ness" and to forego the war.
The great smelling centers of conti-
mental Europe. which, with the United
States, practically supplied all of the
worlds zinc trade. are in those re-
gions, or bordering upon them, which
have already been swept by vast con-
tending armies. The European supply
has been definitely cut off almost since
the war began. Fer more than q month
these furnaces have been unused and
the mines abandoned. One months
production figures significantly in q
years results, and as the war goes on
this country's hold upon the foreign
zinc markets should be secured beyond
danger of assault.

voice yells in our ears. We no longer
know who it is shouting to us, and
we don't know from what quarter
they have called us,
We leap to our feet. We leave the
captain and the wounded in their
blood; we start up and run away, and
are running a race with the shells, for
we are running for our bare, naked
life. But the shells have the legs of
us. They catch US up from behind
in our backs, and wherever the in
visible sheaf plunges Kissing down,
men are falling with it and rolling
helter-skelter in their blood. But we
speed away over twitching and dis
membered bodies, and over bodies
turning somersaults, and look neither
to the right nor to the left. We are
on the run, and shrink into ourselves
as we'run. We draw our necks deep
between our shoulders, for every
man feels that the next moment his
head will be leaping out from between
his shoulderblades from behind.
And eyes of iron are glaring at US
from behind. The swamp! The
swamp! The thought suddenly up
