Climate and Efficiency.
In his forthcoming book on "Civiliza-
ton and Climate" yale Uniyerity
Press) DR.. Ellsworth Huntington will
summarize the results of many years of
study of the influence Of climate upon
civilization. He thus sums up the con-
illusions he has reached:
On the one hand, study of the
daily work of several thousand
factory operatives and students at
all seasons has given an approx
mate measure of the exact climatic
elements which most influence eff
cheney. On the other hand, pro-
longed study of past and present
climatic variations suggests that
location of some of the most slim
ulating conditions varies from CEN
turv TO century, and that when the
great countries Of antiquity rose
to eminence they enjoyed a climatic
stimulus comparable with that eX-
listing to-day where the leading ma
tions now dwell.

1t is peculiarly fitting that the min
ing industry should be unusually well
OF the important part that mining has
of the important part hiatt mining has
played in the development of the re-
sources of California. So today the
visitor at the Panama Pacific exposi-
sition has an opportunity to see prac-
tically at first hand the development
of one Of our greatest assets-our UNI
derground wealth--and at the same
time inspect a mine without any of
the discomforts usually attending
such a visit. The bureau of mines Of
the department OF the interior has,
through the active and unselfish CO.
operation of number Of manufacture
ers and operators of mining equip
ment, established an exhibit that cas-
lily ranks as one Of the most interest
ing of the exposition. Quoting from a
pamphlet issued by the bureau of
mines describing the exhibit:
Strictly Modern.
"This exhibit, as its name implies,
Is an actual reproduction of full size
entries drifts slopes and rooms, sell
ected from typical mines in various
parts of the United States. In the
several rooms of The Mine are in
stalled the appropriate machinery and
appliances used in the modern mines.
Visitors who expect to see in the mine

A characteristic of the copper mar
ket in recent years has been the buy
ing OF copper in great operations ex-
tending over period of two or three
weeks, followed by period of two or
three months during which the mar
ket Is dull, relatively little business
being done. With a production of re-
fined copper at the rate of 150,000,000
pounds a month there must be sold
about 100000 pounds per day, or &c.
100000 pounds per week, on the aver
age, to dispose Of the output of new
copper Taking into account the re-
claimed copper-the product of junk
smelters--and the speculative busi-
ness, and occasionally the reselllng by
consumers themselves, the aggregate
of transactions in copper exceeds an
average OF 100000 pounds per day.
With so huge business 1t Is unlikely
that there is ever a day without some
transaction by somebody, but with a
total of three or four million pounds
per day the market would doubtless be
described as duh. After a long period
of such market there comes what
we speak of as a great buying move
ment," when during week there may
be sales of 1O0.OO0,O00 pounds of cop
per. or in a fortnight twice as much,
The buying in this way has been be-
coming more and more pronounced.
What is the reason for itP
We may offer an explanation with
out getting at the reason. The ex-

How Copper Product Is Marketed
Engineering and Mining Journal.

PLANTATION is that the American con-
sumers have got the idea of acting in
concert. They remain out of the mar
ket together and come in to buy to-
gether. More and more do they APP
pear to be acting in concert What Is
their reason will have to be surmised.
OF course they figure on buying their
copper more cheaply than otherwise
a matter that is we'll worthy of consid-
Grafton; for has not Mr. Ryan pointed
out several times that the American
consumer has in the past paid consld-
erably more for his copper than the
foreigner? But do they figure that by
their concerted abstention they will
tire out the timid producers and thus
obtain cheap copper? 1t is certain on
the other hand that when they try to
buy at the same time they hoist the
price up on themselves, perhaps l cent
per pound between the opening and
closing of day, whereupon they ac-
cuse somebody other than themselves
of rigging the market
II consumers abandoned the idea OF
playing a speculative game, II each
bought his copper as he needed 1t, we
fancy that things would be better for
them in the long run. But while the
present policy obtains we may look
for periodic buying movements" in
spells of dullness, slow de-
clines in price and sudden. sharp up
turns, and in general conditions more
erratic than they ought to be-

speed is attained. cribbing, timbers
backed with tagging. then rock strata
and deeper and darker are seen two
entries with miners working. The H.
fusion Is produced by the canvas walls
of the cage being caused to move past
the occupant, and the Illusion Of rap
I'd descent is greatly accentuated by
means of current of air blown up
ward through the cage, both the pan
Drama and the blower being operated
by 5-horsepower Westinghouse mo-
ter. Finally, the cage appears to slow
down and then stop, whereupon the
opposite door to that which the visit
or entered is opened and he Is allow
ed to leave and proceed through a
darkened tunnel to the mine under
the impression that he has descended
to considerable depth, while as a
matter of fact he leaves on the same
level as he entered.
Looks Like Real Mine.
"Once in the mine. there Is vast
number of interest compelling exhibits.
Ore brought from its native state and
the setting reproduced at great pains
and expense make the visitor feel as
II he were really in mine. Great
credit is due to some of the operating
companies for their hearty cooperation
In making this exhibit one of the fea-
lures of the exposition. Some Of these
have expended large sums OF money
and the services of expert engineers
In reproducing sections of mines on
their properties with great accuracy
and detail. The timbering used was
all taken from actual service In diff
ferent mines--not made for the occa-
sion-and 1t bears the earmarks Of
years of good service. Space does not
permit a description OF all the exhib-
its in the mine, but few of the more
important may be mentioned: Mlning

in South Dakota; silver In Idaho; cop

20 volts. II is not an infrequent oc-
currence for steel and iron workers to
get bits Of metal in their eyes or
hands. Previous to the installation of
a magnet the only means of removal
was by probing, method which is as
uncertain as II is painful. Since this
was put In operation, II is
very simple proceeding to extract such
particles. The portion OF the body in
which the particle is embedded is plac-

pieces have been extracted in this
way The pole piece is removable, a

MINING LAWS OF AUSTRALIA.
Interesting Bulletin Recently Issued
by Geological Survey.

by Geological Survey.
1t has been estimated that there are
more than $500 0OO, 900 short tons
of coal in the United States exclusive
of Alaska. An authoritative statement
of the coal supply of the world shows
that the United States has coal re-
serves exceeding those IF any other
continent and nearly double those Of
Europe. The fact that we are a ia
vored nation in this respect, however
does not imply that we should not be
on the alert to discover and put into
operation the best possible policy in
regard to our coal lands, and in deter
mining this policy a comparison with
the practices of other mimi countries
is helpful. Geological Survey bulletin
