IMMENSE DEMAND FOR TIN
United States Produces None and
Uses More Than All the Rest
OF the World.

The United States now uses IN the
manufacture of tin cans as much tin
plate as all other countries together
use for all purposes. There is no
substitute for tin. Price has little
effect on consumption, which is not
true Of other metals. If tin cost
Is cents pound, we should per-
haps put thicker coating on our
plates and make better solder and
Babbitt metal; but if it were a dol
lar pound, we should still have to
use it for nearly every one OF the
purposes for which it is now en-
ployed
The lack of tin is one of the few
things that keep the United States
from being self-suficient. 1t we
were suddenly deprived Of our sup
ply of tin and solder, we should
soon have serious sanitary troubles.
This is the only metal that sells
today at less than the average price
of two years before the war. Other
metals are selling at prices from 81
to 1870 per cent higher, but tin is
something lower.

NEW WEAPON AGAINST CRIME
Chemical Analysis Resulted Recently
in the Detection Of Two Rather
Clever Rooues.

Solution of large and vexlng
problem in criminology by the APP
plication Of delicate methods OF
chemical analysis, feat recently
performed by government scientists,
may well be classed among the facts
that are stranger than felton,"
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Two men had been arrested while
trying to sell 270 ounces Of sponge
platinum valued at 500 an ounce.
It was found that all the precious
metal reported missing by govern
ment and industrial laboratories did
not equal this amount. 1t was
known, however, that the platinum
in possession of the various plants
and bureaus varied i'll composition,
some stocks containing traces OF III
dunn, and some palladium, or other
rare elements. Inventories OF known
stocks were Immediately requested,
and the confscated lots were check
ed against these returns. With the
information thus gained as a founda-
ton, the stolen platinum was traced
to its two sources. By replacing the
distracted metal with mixture OF
mercury and moist earth, the cul-
prits had been able to prevent de-
lection Of the gradually diminish
ing stores.

FOND OF TRAVEL By NIGHT
Enslishman Thinks Americana Do It
to Avoid Advertisement Along
Railroad Lines.

All Americans travel by night. |
suppose it is to avoid the advertise
ments that line the railways. So
Americans and English visitors alike
are driven to travel by darkness,
creeping into little coverts set in
rows one above the other along the
length Of carriages, and shut off by
heavy green curtains.
There they lie sitting for want Of
air through the long hours Of right,
heavily asleep or listening to the
walls and griefs of mother and
baby in the sitting berth overhead,
until in the dim morning a dark
attendant comes to shout the name
Of an approaching city, and it is
time to crawl up the carriage and
wash in the cupboard at the end.
To this has commercial enterprise
reduced race renowned for sanity.
So all travel in darkness from
city to city, even though the journey
may last only six or eight hours;
and | have asked Americans and
English in vain what the country
in America is like. They could tell
me a lot about New York, Chicago,
Washington, or Boston, but of the
country between the cities they could
say nothing. I began to doubt
whether there was any country in
America, except Niagara and few
chasms; with perhaps "reserva-
ton" or two, called parks" but the
very word "park" excludes the idea
of country. Henry W. Nevinson in

BETTER LIGHTS FOR MINERS.

the insufficient light given by

is about to carry out practical trials
with lamps giving a better light.

He served five months with this

Abandon Plans
To Rule Siberia

Toxic, Aug. 2.--There is indication
that Japan will refrain from carrying
out military arrangements she has
made in dealing with the problems
arising out of conditions in Siberia.
The government some time ago out
lined to the world powers it's policy
regarding Siberia, and ini is forthcom-
ling note to washington will amplify
statements it has sent to European cap
iitals. This note, it Is understood here,
Twill point out the purely temporary
character of the occupation by Japa-
inese troops of points in the Saghalin
district.
Possible misunderstanding abroad
Iare apprehended here because of the
fact that the city of Nikolaievsk on
the Siberian mainland coast, will be
under control of Japanese military de-
|tachments Nikolaievsk, was formerly
a part of the administrative district OF
Primorskaia, which was, in turn, un-
der the jurisdiction of the Russian
maritime province.
Japanese officials have been care.
full to explain to foreign newspaper
correspondents here that the United
States was within her rights in asking
Japan to define her policy regarding
Siberia as the two nations sent troops
to Siberia under, an arrangement
made at the suggestion of the Wash
ington government.
