eERMANTs COPPER SUPPLY.

Where Germany is obtaining her
present supplies Of copper is ques-
ton Of considerable interest says the
Scientific American. Before the war
she obtained most of her copper from
the United States, taking over one
third of our exports. She had large
stock at the outbreak of hostilities,
but this must long before now have
been depleted. Since Germany has
extended her sphere of influence it is
probable some supplies are coming
from other countries. The Serbian
copper mines are now being inten-
sively exploited by the Germans and
Austrians, and good copper deposits
are also said to have been found in
Poland. Work has begun in lead
and copper mines in Kielce, and in
Miedziana, Lysa Cora and Olkuss
the methodical exploitation of these
ores has recently been started.

GLASS INDUSTRY is WRECKED
Germany Has Experienced Terrible
Blow From the War and Business
Is WoefulIy Crippled.

Prior to the war the German glass
industry was an export industry. In
the year 1918 glassware valued at
more than 100000, 900 marks 1884,
74S, ,OOO) was sold in foreign mar
kets. Since the outbreak of the war,
however, the glass industry has been
rking under difficulties and its
very existence is threatened, COM
ments the Bremen Buerger-Zeitung,
Bremen. In the first months of the
war, owing to the stoppage of ex-
ports, a majority of the glassworkers
were thrown out Of work.
When the industry gradually re-
covered, thanks to the increasing de-
mand of the military authorities and
the preserved-food industries, a new
menace appeared, as large numbers
of the workers were drafted into the
army. Several glassworkcrs are, as
a rule, working jointly on piece OF
glassware, and if but one member Of
the group is taken away it becomes
difficult to form new group.
Then the supplies Of soda were
commandeered; fortunately, how
ever, substitute materials were found
which enabled the factories to con-
tinue their operations. The COM
wandering of straw and the lack of
freight cars has interfered with ship
ments, and now the glass industry,
always a large consumer of coal, has
had its supply of fuel reduced to less
than one-half. Thus, for example,
] the bottle factories are to receive
only $4,000 tons of coal, instead of
$4,000, which they had been receiv-
ing heretofore. In order to save coal
the factories are expected to CONSOLE
date; but as there are hardly any
places with more than one factory,
consolidation means change of resi-
dence for the workers.

COST AND POWER OF BIG GUNS.

There are now on the ships of the
United States navy, according to
Walter S. Meriwether, 124 guns Of
14-inch caliber, built at an aggregate
cost of $1O,OOO,OOO. Writing in the
Scientific American, he says that
this cost does not include the car
riages, (which weigh almost as much
and whose recoil gear must take up
shock equal to that of 20 Pullman
coaches running at 20 miles an hour
and brought to an instant stop"

Oldest Inhabitants Of Europe.

Albania, the population of which ap-
proximates 100000, is inhabited by a
race that has nothing in common with
the Italians. Nlne-tenths of the AL
banians are MOslems, and only half
the rest are Roman Catholics. They
speak a language which is mixture
Of Slavonlc and Greek derivatiOns, en-
gage In primitive occupations and lead
a more or less primeval social life.
The Albanians are considered the old
est inhabitants of Europe, their history
going back to times immemorial.

Pitt had just as difficult a task in

was ascertained that most Of the
spring and summer cases of hay fever
are caused by the pollen of the grasses,
although the pollen of other plants,
such as the yellow dock, amaranth,

or help to maintain it when set up by
