BIG TUNGSTEN BELT FOUND
Prospecting Following First Develop
ment in California Shows Deposits
Cover Strip Fifteen Miles Long.

The development in recent months
of tungsten deposits which We're first
discovered in California in 1913, has
greatly stimulated prospecting and
tungsten has been found in q belt Is
miles long. One of Uncle Sans ex-
perts, who has visited the field, has
found that the ore bodies have some
remarkable characteristics.
The deposits are eight miles west
of Bishop, Inyo county, California. On
April z, 1916, the Standard Tungsten
company began work. Trails and roads
were built, ore bodies were opened up,
a mill was erected, and electric power
was brought in. On June Z the mill
began to crush ore. The Tungsten
Mines company started work on May
4, and by the latter part of July had
completed mill of 300 tons daily
capacity, and was rapidly opening its
main ore body, disclosing a lode as
much as 60 feet wide.
The ore bodies, it is found by the
geological survey, are of a kind not
mentioned by the recognized author
tiles on ore deposits as a commercial
source of tungsten. The ore consists
of scheelite associated mainly with
garnet, epidote and quartz. The gen.
eral country rock is granite, but in it
are scattered masses of limestone,
which became mineralized at the time
when the granite cooled from a molten
condition. The limestones We're al
tered to masses of garnet carrying
subordinate scheelite by the metallic
vapors then given off, and these are
the ore bodies now worked.

BUILDING OPERATIONS GAIN
of a Per Cent in 1915 in 4e
of Largest Cities.

Uncle Sam Gnds from a compilation
of building statistics that building op-
erations in many of the larger cities
of the country increased in 1915 as
compared with the preceding year.
These figures show that in 4S select
ed cities the total cost of building op-
erations was S641 ,769, ,199, an increa Sc
of $22,016,S45, or nearly 4 per cent
over 1914. Twenty-eight of these
cities showed increase and 20 showed
decrease.
New York was the leading city in
cost of building operations, with $103,-
O23,SOO, an increase of $2S,993, $50
over 1914. Chicago, which was the
leading city in 1914, was second in
1915, with building operations costing
$97 7,291, 400, an increase of $14029, 500.
Brooklyn was third, with n total of
$45,601,S51, an increase of $3,729, ,544
over 1914.
The number of permits issued or
buildings erected in 1915 in these 4S
cities was POI, 100, a decrease of 2,542
compared with 1914. The number of
permits or buildings ranged from 469
in st. Joseph No., to 14,515 in Brook
lyn, N. Y. The average cost per opera
ton was $3.50 in 1915 compared with
$3,042 in 1914.

soldiers of the sea" were formerly

TOBACCO OUTPUT HUGE
Annual Value of Products Passes
Half Billion Mark.
Uncle Sans Census Figures Show
Gain of 17.6 Per Cent in Five Years
Capital of $sos, s,s4o, 900 In
vested.

The United States is manufacturing
approximately half a billion dollars
worth of cigars, cigarettes, chewing
and smoking tobacco and snuff every
year, according to figures compiled by
Uncle Sam. The value of the tobacco
products of the country in 1914, accord
ing to census figures just made public,
amounted to $3.50, 10000, and as the
output increased 17.6 per cent in the
five-year period between 1909 and 1914,
it may be assumed that it will be con-
siderably above the half-billion dollar
mark for the present year.
There was in 1914 $303, $4,000 capi-
tai invested in the industry, which gave
employment to 210,S94 persons.
While there We're big increases in the
number of persons employed in the in
dustry and the value of the output,
there was q decrease of 11.6 per cent
in the number of establishments en-.
gagged in the manufacture of tobacco
products, and the number of proprie-
tors and firms engaged in the business
decreased 1873 per cent. The number
of salaried employees increased 27.5
per cent and the number of wage
earners in the industry increased 7.2
per cent.

SMALL PART OF COST
No Burden in Free Text Books,
Says Uncle Sam.
Exaggerated Ideas Prevail, 1t Is De-
clared, as to Amount Spent for
This Part of School Equipment
In the United States.

Uncle Sam does not believe that the
Introduction of free text books in the
schools would add greatly to the cost
of the public school system or increase
the rate of taxation for school pur-
poses to any extent. He cites figures
to show that the cost of text books is
a relatively small item in the total
expenditure for school purposes.
officials of the United States bureau
of education declare that exaggerated
ideas prevail concerning the total
number of text books sold in, the Uni
ted States each year. 1t is said that
confidential data obtained by the
bureau from so textbook publishers,
who handle 90 per cent of the total
textbook sales of the country, show
that their aggregate sales annually
of text books for use in public schools,
elementary and high, aggregate about
$15,OOO,OOO.
According to figures which have
been compiled by experts of the bu-
reau, the total enrolment in public
elementary and high schools amounts
to about 1S,500OOO. Excluding the
elementary school enrolment of Cali
fornia, since California prints its own
elementary books, the number becomes
1S,250,000. For each child enrolled in
the public schools in the United
States, therefore, the total annual sale
of text books is about so cents. 1t
has been figured that the total expendi-
ture per child for all school purposes
is approximately 1881. The cost of
text books is therefore approximately
per cent of the total cost of MAIN
tenance, support and equipment The
cost per child on the school, popula-
tion basis-five to eighteen years of
age-according to officials of the bu-
reau, is 56.6 cents; the annual per
capita cost of text books on the total
population basis is less than Is cents.

THE INDOOR GARDEN
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENTHUYsEN.

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
l imagine that most of my readers
are now having their joys and sorrows
with the indoor garden-that sole sub
stitute for the out-of-door theater of
the good months. But as half u loaf
Is better than no bread, so the pleas
ure of having few flowers in the
house during the cold months is worth
all the time and trouble that it re-
quires, and the added consolation is
present that one need not be entirely
without color and fragrance even
though the winds are blowing q dirge
outside.
There is hardly a real lover of flow
ers in the world VINO has not at least
tried to make an indoor winter garden.
some of us cling with more tenacity
than others to the expedient, but soon
er or later it comes to every flower
lover as either hope or a disappoint-
ment. l am convinced that where the
latter state is reached it is through
either ignorance or lack of patience.
The intimate association that one
has with the few plants which may
be nurtured throughout the winter
makes them all the dearer. One be-
comes better acquainted with them.
They become actually members of the
family, and they take on the character
of children as they are given more
and more the sort of solicitous care
that mother might be expected to be-
stow upon an invalid child.
Tiubt rnpictrrn yuorrntb frayI oi
and protection from insects are the
prime essentials of the winter garden.
Most towering plants ought to have
the full sun for at least part of the
day. A number of the foliage plants
will do very well without the direct
rays, if there be plenty of light.
The heat in the room where plants
are to be kept must be under control
so that temperature of from 40 to 60
degrees may be maintained overnight
Even where 1t is only possible to main
tain 40 degrees of heat most of the or
dinary house plants can be kept, If
they can be protected during especially
cold weather from frost striking
through the windows.
One often finds it possible to cut off
u bay window, or other like window
space, so that it may be sheltered by
screens or curtains running well up to
the ceiling. Thus the particular part
of the room may be kept warmer at
night and in an atmospheric state bet
ter suited to the plants.
Generally speaking, the question of
proper moisture is the most neglected
feature of the winter garden problem.
1t is a happy sequel that the prob
lem is easily regulated. The greatest
trouble is to know just what the plants
require. Moisture in the air is just
as essential as moisture on the soil.
Steam heat and the improved meth
DDS for supplying winter comfort to
people, takes the vitalizing element
out of the air. 1t can be remedied by
placing vessels of water on radiators,
or near stoves where plants are kept
in the room. The evaporation of the
water attends to this necessary detail
quite well.
In providing moisture for the soil 1t
