WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable Impetus Givsn to the
Mining and Refining Of the
Mineral In Japan.

The high-water mark In the devel.
oplnent Of zinc mining and refining In
Japan has been reached since the out.
break Of the present war. Zinc was
first mined in 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 1900
tons Of refined goods and in 1915 745,.
900 tons were produced. It Is est.
mated that the production In 1917 to-
tailed some $4,000 tons. It Is said
that the refineries can produce as
high as 100000 tons a year, but as

were supposed to afford greater protec.

flciai illumination Would Seem
to Be Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production, is the
question being asked by some skep-
ticai poultrymtu who have never made
ny tess.
i5te answer is. according to the
workers in poultry husbandry at the
New } 0rk state college OF agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period of inactivity OF the fowls dur
ing the long nights
The long nights of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls TO use . larger proportion Of
The night feed for bodily needs than
would DC the case under normal con-
uunons IN the springtime, when the
days and the nights are of practically
equal length.
Al the time of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months OF April. May and June
the days and the nights are approx
mately OF equal length. Under these
conditions, fowls appear to assimilate
their feed secure the proper amount
ot exercise. and form their eggs to best
advantage.
The latter part Of December there
are about fifteen hours of darkness and
nine hours Of daylight, whereas in the
latter part Of June the reverse Is true
there aie approximately fifteen hours
OF daylight and nine hours Of darkness.
In other words, illumination at
tenDts to initiate spring conditions so
far as the hours Of activity and the
regulation OF feed supply are con-
cclHed.

GUAM Is A LOYAL ISLAND
Voluntary Universal Training Helps
Very Materially In Ameri-

How far the people Of the Pacific
island Of Guam have progressed in the
process Of Americanizat1on Is indicat
ed in the current issue Of the Guam
News Letter, copies Of which have re-
Gently reached Seattle, Wash. the
Post-Intelligencer Of that city states.
The island, which is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the orr.
ent Is governed by Capt. Roy c. Smith
Of the American navy. under the over
sight Of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing a
very ardent brand Of Americanism
among the island people, who are
known as Chamorros and have
strong admixture Of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-.
bration Of Washington's birthday In
Guam, to which the people flocked
from all parts Of the island, coming
by launch. owing to the absence of any
iMand highway system. The proceeds
OF the various enterprises, amounting
to $1.270.55, were donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
OF amusement was purely American.
For instance. the hot dog" stand
realized $1OS94; Buffers soda, $751;
90; knock the cat down, $112.O7; the
moving picture show. $3.50; the tit.
ney dance, $500; wheel Of fortune,
S35O.10; lemonade stand. $72.O3; base
ball game, $16.40. From ell sources
the Red Cross received $500, and
subscriptions were given for $4,000 In
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect a uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest OF the people, this being the
first portion Of American territory In
which such law has been made effec-
tive. There are LOGO milltiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form Of the United States army. Seven
per cent Of Guam's population is in
the militia, at which rate. If we Of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we should have an army Of 10000
