eERMANYs COPPER SUPPLY.

Where Germany is obtaining her
present supplies of copper is a ques-
tion 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 a 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.

COST AND POWER OF BIG GUNS.

There are now on the ships of the
United States navy, according to
Walter S. Meriwether, 1874 guns of
14-inch caliber, built at an aggregate
cost of $10,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 a
shock equal to that of 20 Pullman
coaches running at 20 miles an hour

or the indemnities expected to be

cannot hold out more than a few

strain. II the situation continues
nobody in Germany will be able to

wise. the newspaper predicts, there
