Tin Is a mineral the same as iron
and lead 1t is not made in the sense
that brass is made of other metals.
The principal countries that supply
tin are the East Indies, the islands of
Banca, Billion and Sumatra, the
Malay peninsula, Australia, Bolivia
and Cornwall, England. Most of the
ore from the East Indies and the
Malay peninsula is obtained by wash
ing alluvial gravels. There are also
mines in Saxony, Bohemia Russia
Spain, Portugal and Japan, but the to-
tai output of these countries is insig-
nificant. The presence of tin deposits
in California, Texas, South Dakota,
and North Carolina has been known
for long time, but uD to this time
there has been no mining on COM

BROUGHT STRIKERS TO TERMS
African Explorer Put His Wits to Bear
in Controversy With oEstrep-
erous radderc.

Although the plan Is not capable OF
wide application, the tale of a strike
in central Africa, told by an exploring
member of the English Royal Anthro-
biological institute, is pleasant reading
for the promptness with which the
matter was settled. The explorer was
journeying by water and, coming to
an African village where he needed a
new relay of paddlers, he found that
all the available paddlers had STRUCK"
not for higher wages but against any
padding whatever. The expedition
was bold up. and the men who refused
to paddle stood apart and evidently
considered the plight of the explorer
matter of considerable unSympa-
thetic, amusement. The explorer, how
ever, thought he saw Il way out. lie
asked some OF the women of the vii
lage tD come aboard his boat and sell
him tAod: and as soon as several OF
them were on board he unfaStened the
hawSer, the boat swung out from the
shore, and began TO travel with the
current. Ashore and atloat anxiety
followed Presently the men who had
refused to paddle the explorer were
padding their own little canoes in
pursuit and volubly demanding the
return TO their wOmenfolk. The larger
craft, and presumably the armament,
of the traveller gave him an advantage.
He was ablepto issue an ultimatum.
No women, he Said ip effect, without
paddlers, but one woman for every
man Of the tribe who would agree 10
help paddle the expedition through the
next stage The men accepted the
bargain; and as there were some
thirty women on the boat the eXpedi-
ton got its necessary complement VI
paddlers and the strike was over.

USE OF EvERGREENS.

The use of evergreens at Christmas
time is older than the Christmas tree,
the Christians seeming to have copied
1t from their pagan ancestors. In
very old book we find this reference to
the use of evergreens at Christmas
time: Against the feast of Christ
mas every mans house, as also their
parish churches, were decked with
holme, ivy, bayes, and whatsoever the
season Of the year afforded to be
green. The conduits and standards Of
the streets were likewise garnished !;
among which / read that In the
year 1414, by tempest of thunder and
lightning, toward the morning of Can
dlemas day, at the Leadenhall. in
COrnhill, standard of tree, being set
up in the midst of the pavement, fast
In the ground, nailed full of holme and
Ivy, for disport of Christmas to the
people, was torn up and cast down by
the malignant spirit Gas was thOughD
and the stones of the pavement all
about were cast in the streets and into
divers houses, so that the people were
sore aghast at the great tempest"

SNOW HOUSES QUICKLY BUILT
BE Put Together in Something
Like Six Hours.

it takes about six hours to build
1rst-class winter residence in Eskimo
land. The material, snow cut from
a bank that must have been made in
single storm, must be solid and homo
geneous, fine, yet soft enough to be
easily cut with saw or snow knife. The
blocks are three or four feet long, two
feet high and six to eight inches thick.
They are piled on one another, some
thing like in building a brick house,
save that they are placed to form a
spiral, inclined inward, TO form a
dome-shaped structure. When finished
the hCase is 10 or L. feet high and II
10 Is feet in diameter, and has the ap-
pearance Of a hemisphere OF snow set
on its fiat side. An entrance, big
enough to crawl through, is made on
one side and on either side of it are
cubby-holes for the storage of harness,
spare food, etc. A window is cut in
the wall and covered with seals in
testines, sewed together. These are
translucent and admit daylight. In
lien of that slab of clear fresh
water ice may be used. The house is
lined with skins to prevent the warm
air from the inside from melting the
snow roof. Between the skins and the
wall there is always layer OF cold
air. There is also a small hole cut IN
the roof for ventilation, and to pro-
vide a draught for the family lamp.
On the side of the house opposite the
entrance broad snow bench is built
with a long pole for an edge. This Is
the family bed. For a mattress d
thick layer of shrubs is spread upon
il and over these many deerskins.
Clothes, when taken off, are rolled up
and put under the skins for pillows
One blanket of skins serves to cover
the whole family.
