WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable Impetus Given to the
Mining and Refining Of the
Mineral in Japan.

The high-water mark in the devel.
opment of zinc mining and refining In
Japan has been reached since the out
break of the present war. Zinc was
first mined In a commercial way In
1897, but even as late at 1911 the out
put was still only about 10000 tons.
The refining of the ores was not start
ed on a large scale until 1914. The
rising quotations of the metal in all
markets gave the industry great i'm
petus In Japan. so that in 1915 21,OOO
tons of refined goods and In 1915 49,
600 tons were produced. 1t is esti-
mated that the production In 1917 to-
tailed some $4,000 tons. 1t is said
that the ~reineries can produce as
high as 100000 tons a year. but as
this takes some 250,000 tons of zinc
ore the problem before Japan is to
obtain zoe, 900 tons of ore In foreign
markets, as only $4,000 tons are mined
in Japan. In the past Japan has bought
ore from China, Australia and Russia.
the greater part of the ore. however.
coming from Australia. 1t has been
reported that Great Britain plans a re-
finery in Australia in order to produce
zinc In that portion of her empire. II
true, this, 1t is said, may force Japan
to seek her raw material In some other
market.

EASY TO DECEIVE lNExPERT
tiers" Has Became What Might
Be Termed q Business.

The most common method Of coun-
terfeiting an old picture is to cover
a new one-palnted, of course, for the
purpose-with a certain transparent
paste which, when exposed to slight
heat. cracks and becomes brown. II
a sufficiently vulnerable tint has not
been produced the canvas Is washed
with a mixture of lamp black and
liquorice juice.
TIL. picture Is next exposed for some
hours to the smoke of a wood fire and.
the loose SCOT having been brushed
away. it Is rubbed here and there with
a rag which has been dipped In very
dilute sulphuric acid. This opera
ton gives a moldy appearance to those
parts which have been touched.
The work is finally sprinkled, by
means of a toothbrush and a hairpin,
with minute spots of a solution of
sepia in gum water. to initiate fly
specks, and 1t Is then ready for the
market.
Signatures are initiated by experts,
who are known as 'monogramistes,"
and who devote their exclusive atten-
ton to such matters; and one Of these
men, who died recently, confessed to
the forgery of no fewer than 1900
signatures of the Italian masters alone.
and said he had for years made a large
income by the exercise of his art.

Praise Of pen Fires.

To many Of US plain bread-and-but-
ter persons, praise of open fires some
times seems a little too warm and
comfortable-too smugly contempla-
tive. We like open fires. We would
have them In every DOM In the house
except the kitchen and the bathroom
and perhaps In the bathroom. where
we could hang our towels from the
mantelpiece Gas gallant practical gen.
tlemen, now some centuries dead,
named 1t by hanging up their wet
mantles) and let them warm while we
were taking our baths. We go as far
as any In regarding the open fire as a
welcoming host In the hall, an I'M
disturbing companion In the library.
an en%courager OF digestion in the din
ing room. an e~nlivener In the living
room and a goodnight thought of hos
pitality In the guest chamber. But we
cannot follow the essayist who speaks
contemptuously of hot-water pipes.
"From the security of ambush" says
he, "they merely heat. and heat whose
source Is invisible is not to be coveted
at all"

Foolish Fear Of Poverty.

great deal of apparent poverty

Poverty will come every time as the
result Of the improper attitude toward
money. Money Is not a reality II rep
resents things that we consider for
our good. But there is no poverty like
that of the starved soul that shrinks
and dries up into narrowness and COM
preston. In getting the feeling OF

CALLED AID TO IDLENESs
Many Good Reasons Why the Banana
Has q Perfect Right to That
Classification.

Bananas. according TO a legend cur
rent In tropical countries. are the orig
inal "apples" of the Garden of Eden
along with the serpent and Mrs.
Adam, the cause of mans fall. At
least, they tend to serve a similar pur-
pose In these times, because they are
almost equal TO the coconut palm as
an aid to idleness.
An acre of bananas will yield so
times as much food as an acre Of po-
tatoes and $50 times as much as wheat.
The banana Is immune to almost every
plant disease and has fewer insect
enemies than any other fruit. 1t will
grow on poor land. II need be, and
will distance any weed or shrub that
tries to contest its claim to soil and
sunlight.
The banana Is the neither fish,
flesh, nor fowl" OF the plant king
dom. It is usually classified as a
tree, but IL is not q tree. Although II
attains a height of 80 feet there is
no wood fiber I'm the stalk. The
lunches OF fruit on the dwarf varie-
ties are often heavier than the re-
mainder Of the plant. 1t is not a
palm. nor an herb. nor n bush, nor a
shrub, and II Is not a vegetable. In
some distant way II may be related
to the grasses, but the relationship
Is so distant that 1t stands In q class
by itself.

SLOUGH HAT OUT OF FAVOR
Picturesque 'Headgear No Longer
Worn by American Soldiers on
the Fighting Fronts.

The SLOUGH hat has for many years
been regarded In Europe as distinctive
ly American, although for as many
years it has been no more commonly
worn in the United States than In the
British isles, and over a considerable
part of the continent. Nevertheless,
the typical American Is almost invari-
ably pictured In a soft hat, and the soft
felts worn by the soldiers of the
American expeditionary forces to
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers of the
North wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec-
ton than caps from the glare. They be-
came a regulation head covering for
the army in the Spanish-American war,
and. because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been In use ever
since. Now, however, General Per-
shlng is said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded In favor Of
brimless and peakless caps, and the
reason for the proposed change is
characteristic Of the period that has
introduced into war so many innova-
lions. The rim of the soft felt hat
throws a shadow on the periscope
used In the trenches so as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also,
when worn by tall men. the crown may
be see above the parapets by the en-
my also, a gas mask can be adjusted
much more quickly ver a brimless and
peakless cap.
