COPPER OUTPU7
BREAKS RECORD.
Production Passes 2,000,-
100000 Pound Mark for
First Time in History.

Washington. D. c.. April 29.-Stimu-
lated by the enormous demand result
ing from the war, copper production in
the United states reached and passed
the 1000 600 900 pound mark for the
first time in the history Of the industry
i'm the last year. Statements issued
today by the Z. s. geological survey
placed the total production Of copper
from all sources at 2.O26, 900, 600 pounds.
SmeIter production Of primary copper
was 1883, 600 pounds, a record guam
tity. That was 23S 100000 pounds more
than produced in 1914, or an increase
Of u percent. The total value of the
1915 smelter output of primary copper.
at an average price Of 11.5 cents q.
pound. was $242900, 900, an increase OF
$50. 900, 600 over 1914
Production Of primary and secondary
copper by regular refining plants
amounted to 1693,77 ,13S pounds. in
GLIDING 246, 496 1925 pounds Of foreign
origin and 59,574.69O pounds from tho
secondary material treated.
Plants treating secondary material
exclusively produced 1872, 1905 900 pounds
in addition.
Decrease in Stocks on Hand.
Stocks Of refined copper at the be-
ginning of 1915 amounted to 175, $40. sol
pounds, and at the close OF the year.
S2,429, 666 pounds. a decrease during the
year Of g1,21O,S35 pounds In addition
to the stocks at the close OF 1915 there
were at smelters. in transit and at re-
fineries 274.OOO,000 pounds
Consumption of Copper in the United
States was the greatest ever recorded
i'm any year. Refined new copper
showed an apparent consumption OF
about 1,043,OO0.000 pounds, an increase
Of 423. 100000 pounds over the 1914 Con-
sumption. Adding the 392.27400
pounds of secondary copper and copper
in alloys produced during the year,
brings up the total of new and old COP
per available for domestic consumption
to about 1.435, 100000 pounds. The tx
ports of refined copper during the year
were 6S1 ,955, 301 pounds.

"HE chart shows the aspect of the
heavens at o'clock at the be-
ginning OF May. at o'clock in
the middle and at o'clock at the close
of the month. Intermediate hours
and dates are easily allowed for by the
reader, simply remembering that in
one hour the face OF the sky revolves
Is degrees toward the west. The dis
lance Is degrees can be measured on
the chart by the aid Of the figures dis
tributed along the Ecliptic. For in
stance the star Regulus is near the
point $50 degrees on the Eclipuc. In
one hour this point will have reached
the place now occupied by the figures
1876. So the star Spica is seen in the
chart near the point 1875 on the
Ecliptic, but in one hour Spica Will be
at the place now occupied by the
figure $50. Do not forget that the en-
tire Ecliptic shifts westward with the
face Of the sky, so that the figures in
dicating the degrees on the Eclptic
always maintain the same relative po-
sition with respect to one another and
the stars near them.
Path Of the North Pole.
As shown on the chart, the North
Pole Of the Heavens has a circular
path among the stars. At present the
star POlaris. at the end Of the handle
Of the Little Dipper, is the pole star,
being out about a degree and a quar-
ter from the true pole. This star has
served to mark the north point for CEN
turtles and will continue so to serve
for Genturies to come. Yet owing 20
the procession OF the Equinoxes, the
position Of the real pole is continually
though slowly, changing, following a
circle around the MOLE of the Ec1intfC
which lies in the constellation Draco.
It takes the North Pole about 10000
years to complete its great circle,
which has a radius Of 231k degrees.
About the year 1900 a. D., the star Al
pha in Cepheus will be the North Star;
about 1880 A. D., the brilliantly beau
tiful star Vega in Lyra will hold that
position and about the year 21000 A.
D., the star Alpha in DraCO will again
be the North star, as is was some
400 years ago when the Great Pyramid
in Egypt was constructed with its
strange telescoplc-like tube or passage
pointing to that star.
Venus Seen in Day Time.
Venus plays the leading part in the
celestial spectacle this month. She
will continue to grow brighter all
through the month Of May until the
27th. which is the date Of her greatest
brilliancy. In April her visible surface
was a half moon shape. This will
gradually narrow to a crescent form
on the 29th. when, as before stated
she will attain her greatest brilliancv
(although less Of her actual surface is
then visible than at any time). which
is accounted for by the fact that she
is at her nearest point to the earth.
Venus can at this time be seen easily .

who may wish to see this interesting
phenomenon the following daylight
description of the position OF Venus on
that date may be helpful.
How to See Venus.
At 70 o'clock noon. the sun being
due south, Venus will be about 45
degrees east midway between the sun
and the horizon on line curving 10
the northeast to the point on the
horizon where the sun rose. Note
carefully the position of the sun at ! .

that you can establish, as Venus viii
be slightly south Of that position at
$50 p. m. when you will be most
likely to locate it.
We have an interesting verificatiOn
this month of the fact that the planets
return periodically TO practically the
same degree of right ascension. The
cycle of Venus is eight years. and
those Of our readers having copies Of
The Evening Sky Map for May, 1908
will find the positions there given for
the planet on May 1-31 again occupied
by the planet on the same dates for

Telescope objects.
Among beautiful double stars now
well situated for observation with
small telescopes may be mentioned
Gamma LeOnis, the second star above
Regulus in the Sickle. The compo-
nents OF this star are Of the second
and fourth magnitudes. and their
coIors are yellow and green, a very
beautiful sight. The celebrated binary
star, Gamma Virgins, is the second
conspicuous star west Of Spica ana
above Corvus. Its components are
both of about the third magnitude,
and as they are the six seconds Of arc
apart. a small telescope readily sep
artes them. The second star from the
outer end in the handle of the Great
Dipper is Mar. Its companion, Alcor.
is easily seen with the naked eye. But
a telescope shows that Mizar is double.
The components are Of the third and
fourth, and the colors white and blue
green: they are about IA seconds apart.
The first bright star northeast OF Arc
turus is Epsilon Bootes or Mirac,
veritable gem. A telescope of three
or four inches aperture gives
splendid view Of its two compOnents
which are of the third and sixth mag
nitude, one being orange in color and
the other brilliant green; their distance
apart is rather less than three seconds.
The star Cor Carroll, the brightest one
i'm Canes Venatici, Just under the
handle Of the Great Dipper, is also 4
most beautiful double. The components

CALLS AMATEUR
RULES ABSURD
British Authority Cites Pro
posed Changes to Make
Amateurism Practical.

Chicago. Ill, April pa. p. George,
the British authority, ooes not take
kindly to the new definition Of an
amateur which has recently resulted
fi the barring Of several prouinent
young athletes this side the Atlantic.
Writing i'm a Canadian publication, MI
George says:
THE principle that an amateur is
one who engages in sport solely for
the pleasure and physical benefits he
derives therefrom, and TO whom sport
is nothing more than an avocauon' IS
quite sound. One can hardly say as

situations might arise IN connection
with an athlete engaged in journal

sDorting goods business, and II would
be going very far TO debar a man
from running as an amateur on such
grounds"
Mr.. George maintains that action in
declaring an athlete ineligible to com
pete as an amateur because Of assoc
citation with professionals is absurd.
and illustrates his point by remark
Ing that thousands Of genuine anna
