GRAPHITE IMPORTS.
Their Suspension Because Of
War Handbags Only CRU
chile Industry.

~ ~
Although the value of the graphite
imported into the United States in
1918 was almost twice the domestic
production, the cutting off Of the for
eign supply should seriously affect
only the crucible industry.
There is an ample supply of graph
lite In this country suited for stove
polish, foundry facings and paint pig
ments. and large deposits of amor
now comparatively peaceful, are con-
trolled by American firms and a be
depended pon for supplies of graph
lite for pencils, lubrieasing material and
many other uses.
Moreover. graphite is now being
manufactured in the electric furnaces
at Niagara Falls, in amounts far / IN
natural sources and this graphite is
Well adapted for most of the uses
to which graphite is applied.
The graphite, for which we depend
mainly on foreign sources, is that used
IN the manufacture of crucibles and
other refractory products, but as
these uses probably over half
the graphite used in this country. such
dependence Is a matter of no small
Importance.
The manufacture of crucible steel
requires graphite crucibles. The graph
lite used in crucible making has been
brought largely from the British ISL
and OF Ceylon, although within the last
few years some has been brought from
the French island of Madagascar. This
graphite is flaky or fibrous and FOL
this reason is eminently adapted tC
crucible making. For this use it has
never met with serious competition
from domestic graphite.
The earthly amorphous graphite
mined in this country and the graph
lite manufactured at Niagara Falls are
no adapted to this use, and as a rule
the expense Of concentrating domes-
tic flake graphite has been prohibitive
Nevertheless, 1t Is to the domestic sup
plies of flake graphite that this coun-
try must look in the vent of foreign
supplies being cut off. Practically in
exhaustible supplies of this material
are known to occur in New York, New
Jersey, PENNSYLVANIA, North Carolina
Alabama, Texas and some other
states. Similar deposits are abundant
In Canada. The graphite in these de-
posts occurs as small flakes in rocks
composed maily Of quartz. feldspar anG
mica, the graphite constituting 5 to II
per cent by weight.
Several plants are now ngage ID
working such deposits and many 9TH
ers now idle could be put on a pro-
ducing basis in a short time and al
little expense. Although the produc,
might not be equal to the Ceylor

would be adequate, for similar graph.

used In Germany.

deposit does not compare in size with
the Ceylon deposits it might render

Great Amusement Park New

London.

London. Special: (By MaiD.-Every
day at s o'clock a bell rings in the
great exhibition hall Of Alexandra
palace, whereupon 1900 women, chill
dren and old men, with a scattering of
youths. set up a clatter of wooden

the largest camp for Belgian refugees
In the London district and makes ideal

Attendants at Alexandra palace say
the refugees for the first day or two
seemed stupefied. The break in their
narrow, peaceful lives by war and
travel overwhelmed them. Then they
began to fall into the new way Of
living. For many, no doubt ease amid
plenty was a novel experience after
years Of frugality n hard labor. Now
there is nothing to do, but to wander
In the great halls, with their statuary

These peasants trained in extremely
frugal living, had hitherto managed to
do with three meals a day. But In the
refugee camps they found a fourth
meal at 5 o'clock. AT first they took
their tea as a duty expected Of them.
Then they found it helped to break a
long interval in a monotonous day. Now
they clamor for tea. AS it Is easier to
acquire a habit than to break it, they
may, on their return, fix the tea habit
on Belgium.
There are many Of the Belgians who
not yet recovered from the horrors they
suffered. They sit on the benches say

The children are having the time of
their lives, since the playground with

open to them.
Cots have been provided, but the
refugees have comfortable mattresses

issue OF second hand clothing, which Is

HAVE A GOOD HOUSE CELLAR
BY F. L. RIsLEY.

In leisure hours at this season Of
the year when days are wet outside
and work holds up somewhat 1t is a
good time to thoroughly clear out and
make improvements in the cellar, the
most essential part of the house.
Do 1t now while clear of everything,
as it soon is to be the general store

A real good house cellar is rare.
Some are scarcely anything but dug
outs" and right beneath the living part
OF the house-kitchen, sitting room or
bedrooms-which receive the steamy
evaporation Of a mass of vegetables.
For health a cellar ought to be uni
form. 1t may be too hot, too cold,
or wind comes in through broken win
dow panes, or else they are not tightly
fitted.
If a cellar smells Of mold, look
around for the place. You will find
the in vegetable bins. They are
anything but clean and yet the milk
fs set in many cellars-a bad practice.
Decaying turnips, cabbage snd
onions flavor apples and the butter
grows rancid.
One of the great causes of waste is
lack of ventilation or a daily change
of air.
Open the outer door in warm wealth
er early i'll the morning or after sun
down for an hour or two.
Make a perfectly clean. cool. dry and
sanitary cellar a good distance from
the heating appliances and where
severe freezes will not cause bursting
pipes to flood the stored articles.
All disadvantages leave the farmer
full of %vexations and disappointments,
and what is more and worse yet, they
sadly affect the health of the family.
