Zinc in War Time.


Zinc is so essential in war time
that it has risen enormously in price.
Costing originally only two-fifths as
much as copper, it now costs decided
ly more than copper, in spite of the
fact that copper itself has sharply
increased in value. Zinc is con-
stituent of cartridge brass and shell
fuses, and is used also as a covering
for iron barbed-wire fencing. In 1913
the United States, Germany and Bel
gium were the leading producers of
zinc.
OF the three, only the United States
smelted domestic ores Belgium and
Germany relied mainly on zinc con-
centrates that they imported from the
Broken Hill mines in New South
Wales, where, for one reason and an
other, it does not pay to do the smelt-
ing. France, Spain and Great Britain
also produce substantial quantities,
but not enough to supply their own
needs. Austria and Germany have
considerable deposits of ore in Silesia,
Hungary, Carinthia and the Tyrol. AS
the zinc-smelting furnaces of Great
Britain are not well adapted for deal
ing with the Broken Hill concentrates
it buys the bulk of it's supplies from
the United States.

Learn TO Seek Happiness.

There are many people who seem to
think that happiness is a thing, like a
house or a dream, that you can get
hold of and keep. as if it were pos
session of your own. 1t isn't. You
have, to work for it as you work for
other desirable qualities. And you
have to keep on working. Teach your
self to respond to everything lovely
or cheerful, to see beauty. to enjoy
the society Of other persons, to de-
light in work, to find enthusiasm in
play. Teach yourself interest in the
struggles and hopes of others;. the
sort of interest that is of use, that is
q help Learn to enjoy the many lit
tie things that turn up day by day.
Make the most of your own mind. your
own capacities Don't sit around pom
dering whether you are happy or not,
whether or not. life is worth living.
Live il thoroughly keep awake to all
the wonder of it. and you'll be happy
without knowing it at first. until you
have gone along far enough 20 realize
what happiness is. Except in times
| or real tragedy and great suffering,
happiness, IN some at least of its my
Rad forms. is possible: is a duty in
deed.

What Becomes of Lead?

Lead was unquestionably known to
the Egyptians, the Romans apparent
iy understood it's desilveriZation. yet
we are apparently already entering on
an era of permanently higher prices
The worlds accumulated stocks OF
5000 years seem powerless to help as.
D. NJ. Liddell writes in Engineering
Magazine. How can they, when every
rain washes lead paint from the houses
into the ground in form TOO dissent
mated ever to be regained; when every
hunter fires away portion OF the
worlds stock; when almost every cot
fin carries a lead lining; while lead
pipes or lead joints in iron pipe COR
rode in the ground, and when every
plumbers apprentice throws away lead
dross, and tea is packed IN lead foil?
In the meanwhile the increasing use OF
lead in storage batteries adds another
possibility of loss. The sludge from
these batteries will usually be thrown
away when the cells are cleaned. And
so the new discoveries of science help
to add new methods OF waste.

Animals Fee, Pinch of War.

Rats are being bred for the Buda-
pest zoo in order to save the scant ra-
ton of horse flesh for the lions and
tigers, whose constant roaring shows
the extent they suffer from the gen.
eral shortage of food. Eagles, vultures
and the wild birds are fed exclusively
on rats. At times, when horse meat
has been unobtainable, goats and the
less valuable animals have been sacri-
feed to save the lives of the beasts
that once ruled the jungle.
But the herbivorous- animals have
also gone through hard times, as wild
chestnuts have been substituted for
expensive hay. They have small lik-
ing for chestnuts. A herd of ten
seals had to be killed, as no fish could
be obtained for them. The seal meat
went to feed the wild beasts. Two
polar bears were shot-one because
he refused to eat war food and the
other because he grew so weak on the
new diet it was deemed a mercy to
finish him. The bears added to the
zoos revenue in another way, as the
privilege of shooting them was auc-
toned off to local sportsmen, one of
whom paid $50 for the honor.

Music by Wireless.

A young California inventor has de-
signed an apparatus whereby selec-
tons played on a monograph have
been transmitted to several neighbor-
ing homes equipped with special re-
ceiving instruments, Popular Mechan-
les Magazine states. In some in
stances the instruments have been
installed in the dining room and by
this arrangement the neighbers have
been entertained at mealtime. A
wireless telephone apparatus upon
which the inventor has been working
several, years is used at his central
station. A monograph, in which the
horn is an integral part of the body
of the instrument, is used in producing
the selections. The Stats are removed
from the mouth of the horn and with
in it are placed two ordinary telephone
transmitters, from which the sounds
are carried by wires to the wireless
telephone outfit which, after serving
as an amplifier, sends the waves
through a cable in the aerial on the

The waves are caught by the vari-

rs Such charms by nature, you possess
Twere madness not to love We.
If there is young woman of whom
others are envious, inclined to be
somewhat jealous of, it is one of the
fascinating kind of beauties. Every
man with whom she comes in contact
is smitten by her charms, usually, if
his heart is not in the keeping of an
other She is not one of those whom
men turn in disgust from, jolly f1irt;
nor is she a coquette, given to making
conquest with first one, and then an.
other. The older girls Of her set, who
have not been successful in their love
affairs, that might have led them to
the altar, although disliking her, keep
in with her, to find out by careful
watching what her unfailing power is;
in fact just how to catch a beau. They
believe the best way of improving
their monotonous ways is to study
her clever attractiveness, self-assur-
ance, style and independence of those
around her. which seems to amuse
the men who linger by her SIDE She
is generally not over-sensitive; keeps
her nerves in perfect control and ap-
pears unconcerned in regard to her
charms. as if they were to last through
life. 1t is nothing more than can be
expected from among the men who
crowd about her. She yields her
charms to one who seeks her in mar
riage. After she has been welded for
a few years the talk of the town,
which raved over her beauty, be-
comes nonplussed at the unexpected
change in her appearance. Her hus.
band had become prepossessing,
spruce-looking man, who showed
neither his age nor care taken upon
himself. Alas, the features of the for.
mer beautiful wife and the willowy
figure had changed-not for the bet
ter, as she had fondly wished would
be her lot. When upon such a woman
a man whom she welded gazes with
young eyes, he does not need to tell
her he is admiring her for the same
beauty he priced in their counting
days. Gently he holds her plump lit
tie hand and assures her that, despite
the changes, she is still beautiful in
his eyes and that she has n,ade her
self necessary to his happiness. How
welcome those words are; Row con-
vincing to her heart. This is won
drous love and should be a parallel
case with every married couple who
have given their hearts and happiness
into each others keeping. The wom-
en- she used to outrival laugh as they
notice how her youthful charms have
faded. She does not weep in the
privacy of her own home. She has
faith in the man who won her for
loves sake.

NEED FOR DAYS OF STORM
Sage Reflections on the ImpossibiIitv
of Life Being Always
Bed Of Roses.

Every woman, young and old, knows
what it is to have cross days; days
when, from sunrise till sunset, every
mortal thing seems to go wrong, no
matter how hard one tries to have
them go right. For that matter, one
always does try harder on such days
than one the happy-golucky ones
when life flows on smoothly and har-
moniously, like "a grand. sweet song"
Goodness knows, there is enough con-
scientious effort wasted on single
cross day to balance half year of
ordinary days.
Why is this? Is crossness a disor-
dered state, of the mind, or an over
wrought condition of the nerves, or
simply the reflection of an inexplicable
but unanimous "crossedness" on the
part of things in general? And if it
be any or all of these, is there any
way or overcoming it?
Crossness, like most other condi-
tons of life, is the inevitable effect of
perfectly natural cause. Good hui
NOR, like fine weather, cannot pos
sibly last forever. If it could, it would
inevitably become an intolerable bore.
Being eternally pleasant and agreeable
is all right theoretically, but it is a
terrific strain on the nerves.
+. 1t is dreadfully wearing, too, on
other people. Did you ever have to
live in the same house with somebody
who was ALWAYS placid. always even
tempered, no matter who else was
worried and distraught? And were
you not sometimes seized with an I'M
holy yearning to do something per-
fectly. awful and fiendish, that you
might for once startle that hateful be-
ing out of his or her maddening i'm
perturbability?

Sweat Drop Caused EXPLOSION.

A single drop of sweat from the
brow of a workingman, dropping into
a tank containing twenty-four pounds
of cotton saturated with nitric acid,
caused loud explosion at the Atlas
Powder company's plant at Mount Car
bon, Pa.
Workmen nearby narrowly escaped
injury when the explosion came and
immense rolling clouds of smoke
passed through the building.
A drop OF water on this preparation
will cause it to explode, and sweat
drops may explain many recent mu-

The plant makes large shipments
