discussion of the importance of this
metal is published in The Times, with

His estimate of 100000 German
shots every twenty-four hours is bas-
ed on the belief that the German fir
ing line extends in all about $50 miles
and the conservatives guess that L.
100000 Germans are taking part in
the engagement daily, to the extent
at least of twenty shots each. This
as during real engagements hundreds
of shots are fired by each man.

FURS-A SKIN GAME IN
MORE WAYS THAN ONE,

In describing the animals that sup
ply most of the furs on the market,
no account would be complete without
reference to the host of imitation furs
that are sold. Apart from their de-
ceptive appearance, there is nothing
fraudulent about these faxed skins,
since the names under which they are
traded are mostly sanctioned by the
London Chamber of Commerce.
Combed skins of white lambs from
Central Asia are called iceland fox
Caracu1 fur comes from kids. Dyed
goat is called bear goat and dyed
hare sable hare or fox hare" Calf
skins pass as siberian pony.f Final
ly, rabbits, wild and tame, of various
co1ors, generally dyed, and often
sheared or prepared in other ways,
are traded under a number of curious
titles, such as sable coney, chinchil1a
coney, seal musQuash coney, cleo
trio, inland, or coast seal, mock or
French ermine,, and-perhaps strangest
of all-Ba1tic lynx.
Many too, are the devices. apart
from dyeing and clipping, adopted for
Disgusting the identity of cheap furs.
Imitation heads of foxes or fitch, with
beads for tyes and a piece of black
wood for a nose, are shaped on the
skins of rabbits or cats, and pieces of
cats tails are attached to all manner
of .furs to give them a fictitious re
sem b1ance to sable. Yet so little do
the wearers know Of natural history
that they accept these impossible COM
binations as unaltered skins of genu-
Inc wild animals.-R. I. Pocock, +. r.

The committee criticised the state
