v,.h the scarcity Of silver more
=. than ever, American jewelers. are
rvins all the Canadian coins avail
IN. This fact was brought out when
a. Al the large American banks re-
;r.d an attractive offer from local
-.,.r for a large quantity Of Cana

.I ai.s The bank was placed in a
rsculisr position. 1t could have

the face value. To be on the
N. ~ aide officials of the bank notified

Although some time ago the Receiver

Esssrlv sought by American jewellers,
ga large quantities of them were

IA mast Christmas holiday season.
Wh;,a these jewelers. are forbidden by

Etates. there is no law to prevent them
f,om melting Canadian silver money,
md they are making strenuous efforts

Eoins as possible.
IN melting these coins the jewellers
kaye yery little waste material on their
hands, as the Canadian silver pieces
contain less composition than the sill
Esr monies Of any other country. Prac-
ically the entire coin can be used af-
er melting, and for this reason the
american jeweler has nothing to lose
Ind everything to gain in purchasing
Canadian coins. According to authori-

Immediate action in the matter.
a strange point brought up by one
.silverware manufacturer yesterday was
that the Canadian merchants were
among the heaviest importers of silver
xare for the Christmas holidays. This
siiverware was sold to them on the
basis Of the current price Of bar silver
ii America, and the jewelers. Of Can
ada were forced to pay very high
prices. 1t may have been that the
heads Of many Canadian families were
carving their Christmas turkeys with
silver-handled carving knives made up
Of coins used by them many months
before in purchasing other articles.

REFUSED TO ABANDON GAME
Plucky Terrier Died With Fox Il Had
Run to Earth and Killed in
Combat

What is believed to be an unprece-
dented end to a combat between a fox
and a terrier is reported from the
Lake country.
A stout hill fox hunted by the BIen-
cathra hounds for three and a half
hours on the mountain heights above
st. JOhns-in-the-Yale sought sanctuary
in assure Of rock in a crack near the
skyline of Wanthwaite. Here he faced
one Of the gamest terriers belonging
to the pack and, scrambling to a shelf
IN the rocks. was able for some time
to give as fierce punishment DIS he got.
The terrier killed the fox, but re-
fused to leave it and followers and
hounds had at last to quit the Crags
so that they might make the descent
Of one Of the most dangerous ravines
Of the mountain range before dark
ness. When huntsman and whip re-
turned next morning to the Crag they
found terrier as we'll as fox lying dead
outside the borran.
An examination Of the terrier show
ed that the fox had inflicted no mortal
wound upon him. The terrier had
dragged the fox out and then, 10th to
leave it, had laid down beside it It
was clear that he had died from ex-
posture during a bitterly cold night.
No similar case has. so far as is
known, occurred befOre.-LOndOn

When in Doubt, Add 10 Per Cent.

A Wall street man was negotiating
with a country tinsmith for the re-
newal of the rain cutters on his house.
InQuiring cautiously about the cost Of
copper cutters, he was surprised to
find that they would cost him at the
rate of more than 80 cents a pound,
though the metal sells in ingOts
around 10 cents.
"WelI," said the smith, you see the
men that work the metal up in the
shop get 50 a day. The shop adds 10
per cent for the wOrkmen's insurance
and aims to make at least 81 a day
on every man. When it comes to me,
I figure the cost of the materials and
labor, and l have to add 10 per cent
to the wages to cover insurance cost,
too. Then have to add 10 per cent
to the whole thing for overhead, )
per cent for the use Of the car and
Is per cent for being a boss. So I
really don't get any profit on the job
at all. All 1 get out Of it Is my liV-
ing, you might say."-Wan Street

Why Orchids Were Gagged.

Visitors to the flower show held re-
Gently in the Royal Horticultural hall
at Westminster, England, were sur
prised to find a number of rare ORCH
ids confined, like so many wild anil
mails in the zoo, within a heavy wire
cage. 1t was explained that as the
flowers represented a new addition to
the orchid family, the grower was nat
urally anxious that his fellow dealers
should not share his triumph. Had it
not been for the cage, an INSCRIPTIONS
competitor might have stolen some
of the pOwdery pollen from the
blooms, and used it to fertilize plants
of his own. Normally adhering to the
bodies of visiting insects, the pollen
might easily have adhered to the tip
of the thief's finger.-POpular Mechan-

Making a Lion Love a Lamb.

introduced. At first the lion looked
surprised, and then lay down and gent

not like this, and drawing back a pace
or two butted the lion in the name.
This appeared to amuse the lion great

taking the lamb as a first-class risk"

country,s Motive Enerax

The gauge of a nations industrial
might is the amount Of motive energy
which it can command for the mani
fold fields Of production and the es-
sential cOntributOry activities. We
have maintained our supremacy in
manufactured output very largely be-
cause of the vast amount of power
which we could call into service, Rob-
ert G. Skerrett wrote in the Scientific
American. Modern nations eXpend
far more energy than the combined
muscular ability of their population
and beasts of burden. The margin is
covered by the employment Of me-
chanical energy in the form of power.
To accomplish the work done annually
in the United States, would require
the labor of 3,OOOOOO,OOO hard-working
slaves. The use of power gives to
each man, woman and child in this
country the service equivalent of thir-
ty servants.
