west bound tourists should take the north or the

Sources Of Graphite Supply.

Graphite occurs rather frequently in
granite rock throughout the Appalach.
ian system from Maine to Texas, and
has been mined in various localities,
notably at Ticonderoga in New York.
and at number of points in Pennsyl.
vania and New Jersey. But the Ap
palachian range of occurrences, and
with them those Of Canada, consist Of
disseminated grains known to the
trade as fake graphite, and the cost Of
recovery has pretty generally proved
prohibitive, with the result that even
the old Ticonderoga mines are no
longer operated. For a number Of
years the chief supply Of natural
graphite has come from Ceylon, where
the mineral occurs as massive veins.
Another prominent graphite field lies
in the Tunkinsk mountains of Siberia,
and Mexico also has a rather impor.
tant source in Sonora. In this country
Montana has the only occurrence other
than of flake graphite thus far encoun.

F YOU visit HOngkong or Canton
or Shanghai you will find thou
sands Of people who spend their
lives from first to last on water.
Both in Hongkong and Canton a
population equal to that of consider
able town lives on little boats called
sampans, and never by any chance do
these water dwellers set foot on land
II they can avoid it, the Hongkong
correspondent of the Dundee Courier
writes.
Nor can they get back quickly
enough to their native element If busi-
ness should call them from it for a
little time. They are unhappy on land;
one can read it alike in their carriage
and their faces. Even the tiniest of
children dislike dry land. But see
them aboard rocking cockleshell of
a boat, and, If you are tender hearted,
you have heart tremors the first time
or two. They are able to do little
more than walk, yet they balance
perilously on the narrow side of the
boat and perform feats that would
turn white mothers hair gray in a
day.
But these Chinese mothers do not
turn gray; they do not even look at
their offspring. For one reason, they
are too busy; for another, there is not
the faintest need for them to worry.
What is bred in the bone comes out
even in the flesh of a sampan-born
youngster and ability to get about a
rocking boat at the age of fifteen

and pans, or silk, or anything else
they may wish. They may not have
the particular article you require, but
they will either get it or find another
sampan where it can be secured. If
you go to Canton they will ferry you
across the river very cheaply-if you
know the ropes. Chinese passengers
will be carried across for ten cash,
which is one tenth of a cent Mex, or
two fifths of one cent U. s. currency.
Work that out for yourself and don't
talk for strikes for a generation after.
But the European passenger, who is
not initiated, is fair prey.
viii Squeeze you II he can.
The cost to him is as much as can
be squeezed out of him. No hftieth
part of a penny for him. If he looks
stranger so cents Mex. or more will
be asked, and If he protests, the price
may come down to half. Even then
the sampan people have done a fa-
nous stroke of business for that day.

Camera as a Side Arm.

The ideal machine to wear and
carry with you at all times (and to
get the best pictures you must keep
your machine with you) must be light,
with lens capable of working at not
less than F-6S and a high-shutter
speed for quick work where desired.
The picture taken must be large
enough so that one will not have to
enlarge everything.
If you have your machine with you,
you will sometimes see chances to
get a deer or other wild creature, but
if you go back to camp for it your
opportunity will be gone. If you are
to have it with you at all times, it
must be light and compact.

Girl Babies Of Little Account.
Besides, babies (girl babies at least)
are Of very little account. If one of
them should fall overheard she may
be pulled out again before she Is
drowned, and If she is not caught up
quickly enough the loss is not greatly
serious from their point of view. You
may regard this as exaggerated. but
it is oVerstated no whit. The writer
remembers successive days-when he
was new to the far East and took
notice Of such things-seeing first a
girl baby aid then hen fall into the
water.
The mtshap to the baby caused no
excitement whatever. but in the case
of the hen there arose a mighty
screeching. The mother and grand
mother and what may have been either
aunts or sisters set up tremendous
row which did not subside until some
time after the frightened hen had been
rescued. The loss of q baby was
neither here nor there; the loss Of q
hen would have been serious from an
economic point Of view.
Whether among land or water peo.
pie In China, girls are not greatly
wanted and the addition to q family
which has already a suf1ciency Of
girls Of another Of the female sex is
counted almost q calamity. But it is
calamity which Is easily got over.
One hates to set down the horrid
fact, but the unwanted baby is quite
