British columbia's Minerals.

The annual mineral output of Brit.
ish Columbia is valued at approximate.
ly s30,000,00O, the figures for 1913
exceeded that amount. while the
product last year was some $4,000, 900
short Of that of the previous year. The
decrease in the value OF minerals pro
duced in the province last year, as
compared with 1913, was due to the
European war, which disturbed the
metal markets throughout the world,
producing a depressing effect upon the
industry in British Columbia.

s;mnIe Air Pressure Test.

Any one can demonstrate the prss- sure of the atmosphere by the simple experiment which follows: On the fiat of an iron lay thin sheet of rubber part of an old tobacco pouch will do. Place a small, thin lid containing some wadding soaked in spirits of wine on the rubber and ignite the spfr- it's. Then press a wineglasS down tightly over the flame. When the flame dies out it will be found that the two articles are firmly united and may be suspended by a wire, and some time will elapse before they separate. The explanation is that the flame con sumes the oxygen in the glass and lowers the pressure when the greater pressure of the atmosphere squeezes the articles together Exchange

Predict Wars End Will Be Detriment
 to German Clerks

Leipzig, Oct z2.-In anticipation of the end of the war, 13 of the most important branches of labor in Leip- zig have petitioned the city fathers to install. as separate and distinct branch of the municipal employment bureau, a department specially for re- turning soldiers. N
 Store employees estimate that be- tween 100000 and 100000 of their number will come back when peace is declared. The number Of clerks is expected toi be correspocdingIy large. and the number of technical workers is also very great. The figures refer of finding places for Leipzig's share to entire Germany.
 The Leipzigers believe that the work of the returning throng must be be- gun now if there is not to be confu- sion and suffering for many seeking work. The mercantile, technical and office employers of the city are press ing the matter especially, in the be- lief that their branches of labor are going to be particularly hard pressed. Tn their petition, however, they do not hazard guess as to when the return will begin.

 Reduces Cost of
 French Ordinance
A

Paris, Oct 22-The French shell
 makers have had some difficulty in obtaining the necessary quantities Of steel suitable for projectiles. The largest iron producing region , in France is in German occupation and home production has had to be supp p1emented by orders abroad, chiefly in the United States Besides order ing steel in the United States, the French shell manufacturers have also bought there most Of their hydraulic machines for shell forging. Most of the shells ordered for France in Amer ica have been unfinished, the finish ing of them being committed to French industry with the object of helping out the small manufacturer who would otherwise be idle and whose works are not equipped for the production of the shell from start to finish
 The cost Of producing shells has been greatly reduced since the war began by the immense scale on which they are produced and by the use of ported from the Unzred States. The price paid for the 3-in0h shells at the beginning of the war was equi- va1ent to $7.6Q. This price has been reduced by 1-3 American makers of larger size, ca1ibres are,s it is under stood, receiving for 6-inch shells about $1O apiece. These prices are for un- loaded shells; the charging of them is not trusted to the makers from the private contractors but is done in the private arsenals. All these shells must be made with extreme precision for long range work but for short range to pitch shells at the trenches from half a mile to 2 miles old guns can be used and scast-iron shells g

The cardfno Bee.

The carding bee lives in holes among stones and roots, making nests of moss lined with wax to keep the wet out, with a long gallery to approach i5. The bees find a bit of moss, and sew eraI of them get in a row, with the1r backs toward the nest. The foremost bee then lays hold of the moss, pulls it up with her jaws and drives it with her forefeet under her body and as far toward the next as possible, when the next bee does the same thing. By this means many tiny heaps of pre- pared moss are got to the nest where other bees weave it into the structure.
