Lead Available for Consumption.


The amount of lead available for !
consumption during 1916 may be esti-
mated by adding to the stock or tor-
eign lead domestic stocks are not
known) in bonded warehouses at the
beginning of the year OIL snort
tons) the imports (about $4,000 tohsl
and the domestic production (55S,Zoo
tons), making an apparent supply Oh
6O6169 tons. From this are to be SUD
tracted the exports of domestic leau
lOS,200 tons), the exports OF foreign
lead (about $3.50 tons), the teFeiRh
lead contained in articles exported
with benefit of drawback tahoat 90VV
tons) and the stock in bonded ware
houses at the end of the year tassnh~
ed to be the same as at the end OF Mo-
vember, 1887 tons), leaving AZ avail
able for consumption 47i,20O tons
compared with 426,751 tons in 1915.
High Prices Prevail.
Lead began the year at New YORK
with price of SIS cents pound, inc
minimum price of the year and rose
to 5 cents early in April, this being
the maximum figure. A. long decline
carried the price down to 5.9b cents u
pound in the early part OF August An
other rise reached Z cents about the
middle of September, after which Inc
price remained stationary until early
In December, when it advanced 10 I'D
cents, and it closed the year at about
D that figure. The average New fork
@price for the year was 6.8 cents, com
pared with AZ cents In 1915, 80 cents
In 1914, and "A cents in 1913.
The London price Of lead was high'
er than the New York price for the
first quarter but below II for almost
the whole Of the last three quarters OF
The year. The London price starred
the year at R30 rs. Cd long ton
G.57 cents pound) and rose TO ECO
Is, 3d. ton (7.s7 cents pound) In
the later part OF March Parallehng
the New York market, long decline
brought the price down TO 2zS a ION
tSO6 cents a pound) In july at when
: II remained through the month a
sharp rise followed by decline ann

Record Breaking Production.
The production of refined lead, de-

sara,gn ores in 1916 was 579,600 tons,
rortb If the average New York price
~ sos 600 compared with 5s0,055 tons
worth s51.7O5. 600. in 1915, and with
40 122 tons. worth S42-2SS,8ee in 1914,
Tho figures for 1916 do NOT include an
estimated output of 2l,S00 tons of an
timonial lead. worth approximately
u2S3 600. compared with 2s,224 tons
in 1915, and with 1857 tons in 1914.
OF the total production desllNeriEeHi
lead of domestic origin, exclusive OF
desilyerized soft lead is estimated al
824 600 tons. against s01.ss4 tons IN
1915 and 311.06s tons in 1914; ana
desilyerized lead OF foreign origin al
u 400 tons. compared with 1909 tons
in 1915 and 2s.s2s tons in 1914. The
PRODUCTION of soft lead, mainly from
Mississippi valley ores, is estimated al
ss42OO tons, compared with 2o5'46-
tons in 1915 and 201.725 tons in 1919.
The total production of desilVerized
and soft lead from domestic ores was
thus about 55S,2Oo tons. valued at $'5'-
$4,000, compared with 50T ,o26 tons
valued at $47,6s0,O in 1915, gain OF
511OO tons. OF this gain in domestic
production, about $4,000 tons was
made in soft lead and $4,000 tons in
domestic desilverized lead.

Founded on a Religion.

Twelve hundred and eighty-hve
years ago the founder Of the Moham-
medan religion died in Medina, Arabia,
and the career of Mohammed is now
recognized as one of the nine or ten
great careers in history. A son Of the
desert, born with n keen poetic and
sensuous nature, his early life was
passed in dreams, visions and medita-
tons. Gradually there dawned upon
him the conception Of the unity of God.
In his fortieth year his work of pros
.elyting began. Prosecuted by the older
religions, he barely escaped with his
life, and fed from Mecca to the city Of
Medina. Rapidly the new faith gained
adherents; the forces Of Mecca were
defeated, and by the time of his death
the whole of Arabia had been subdued
and an army was setting forth to as
sail the Roman empire Of the East.
Exactly 100 years after he died his
standards had been planted by his dis
ciples across the Pyrenees and on the
plains of India.

wonderful Cave Found.

A wonderful cave has been discov-
cred at the lime quarries about 10
miles from Potgietersrust, Cape Colony.
A workman, using his pick, came to a
large hole, and this proved to lead to
wonderful cave containing the most
beautiful stalactites-a really wonder
full sight. These pendant cones of
carbonate of lime, attached like icicles
to the roof of the cave and formed by
the dripping Of the water charged with
the carbonate from the rock above"
are In various and In some cases most
intricate designs, and should be Of
great interest to biologists. The cave
is about so yards long and 80 wide. and
no one ever dreamed of its existence.

FOUND THE PRISONER GUILTY
But Jurys Verdict Had Nothing to DO
With Charge on Which Defendant
Was Tried.

A barrister with a long experience
Of queer juries In the mining regions
Of Pennsylvania tells the following
amusing story as illustrating their &c
centricities:
A man was charged with committing
a murderous assault upon another as
a result of some political differences.
The assault having been committed
Mt night, there appeared to be some
difficulty in identifying the assailant,
and, as a matter Of fact, the counsel
for the defense made out an excellent
case for the prisoner, calling witnesses
to testify that he was nowhere near
the spot where the assault took place
on the night in question.
Everybody concerned fully expected
that the jury would bring in a verdict
of acquittal, yet, to the general aston
ishment, the foreman announced that
the prisoner had been found guilty.
But" he added, observing the gen
eral CONSERVATION created by his state
ment, mot guilty of this assault, yer
honor. This is the spalpeen who stole
Biddy McCarthy's pig last year, and we
found him guilty Of thatW
