Production of PlumbagO.

Plumbago/ the most important OF
Ceylon's minerals, is mined from open
pits in the form of almost pure car
bon. The best quality comes from the
Kurunegalla district 1t is placed in
barrels at the mines and hauled by
bullock cart to Colombo. At the
plumbago yard 1t is cleaned and sorted
into five different grades, according
to size and quality. Each grade is
further divided into four classes on
the basis of car bon content, color. and
quality Thus when barrel of plum
bago comes from the mine il con-
tains 20 different grades and qualities
Of the mineral. All of the work OF
sorting and cleaning is done by coolie
hand labor. Unlike many forms of
mining no great depth has been
reached, and often the most primitive
methods of operating are observed.

| What's wrong?" asked the room
clerk.
Instead of replying, the house de-
tective took out paper and pencil, and.
carefully watching the winking and
blinking bulb, wrote a number Of let
tiers down on his slip of paper.
That's the first time" he solemnly
announced, II ever saw an electric
bulb talk Morse!"
Talk Morse?" echoed the other
: Eyes, talk Morse, or never pound
ed the brass for two years. And here's
what it has said, twice over. Help

The house detective suddenly stood
upright. Say, who is in S07 in this
house, anyway"
THAT Virginian with his arm in a
sling!"
Then it's up to us to find out what's
going on in that room!"
The Laughing Mask, in the mean.
time, was no longer giving his atten-
ton to the wires along the closet wall.
But with his pocket knife he had al
ready removed the set screw from the
door knob of the closet door. Then,
swinging lightly up to the shelf that
stood some five feet from the floor, he
seated himself there opposite the door.
By grasping the two heavy clothes
hooks screwed into this door, and By
planting his feet firmly against the
sash on either silo of it, he felt that
he was not altogether at the mercy Of
his enemies.
Even as he sat there he could hear
the key turned in the lock and then
the sound Of Legar's quick oath Of ex-
ASPIRATION as the door knob fell loose
to the floor, in response to his tug at
It. At the same time hope rose in the
captives heart, for he could hear the
mufIled sound Of knock on the outer
door. And still again the prisoner in
the closet could hear Legar's oath OF
evaporation. This was followed by
the sudden impact Of the heavy wing
chair against the panels Of the closet
door. That blow, repeated again and
yet again, was heavy enough to break
through the wood. But that dignitary
known as High-Collar Davis, being
gentleman not given to inactivity in
moments of emergency, and being suf.
fciently persuaded of untoward pro-
ceedings behind the door which re-
fused to open to his knock, promptly
seized a fire ak from it's vermilion-
painted rack in the hall, and sent it
crashing through the panels Of the
door which bore the numerals BOT.

Persons suffering from catarrhal

restored to such an extent that the
tick OF watch was plainly audible
seven or eight inches away from either
ear.
Therefore, IL you know someone
who Is troubled with head noises or
