 The Islamic Empire is credited by Moslems with two great eras. The first was that of conquest, when the only history was written with the sword. Then came centuries of Mo hammedan domination, when the Moslems peacefully held the empires they had conquered in Asia and in the Iberian Peninsula. During these art and literature f1ourished and the Arabic dictionary was born. In Ara bia the flower of this period was in the golden time of Calf Harun-al- Raschid.
 Each of the words that have been familiar in the daily life of the nomad Arabs for centuries has an enormous number of synonyms The lion. for example, was feared by Villagers and hunted not only for sport but as a matter of necessity. Therefore in the Arabic dictionary the lion has more than a hundred different names. The camel was the sole means of trans portation across the thirsty deserts and is characterized in 122 different ways. But above all the horse and the sword were the two great stand bys of the Arab. There are more than 200 different words that con | vey ideas of "horse" and 'sword". All other familiar words, woman, sun and air have long lists of syuonyms that are interchangeable and in constant Iuse This affords some slight explan- ation why Arabic dictionaries are of
 so large a size.

Fox Farminu Profitable.

In Yukon and Alaska are several fox ranches. The farmers regularly catch fish by nets on the lakes or by fish wheels along the river banks for the foxes.
 ''These foxes are generally healthy and strong. because they are always supplied with food unlike their gaunt brothers who roam in the wilds The high value of the pelt and the ability of the fox to live and breed in a lin tied area has resulted in the estab- ishment of these ranches" writes E. C. Steffen, in the current issue of Hunter Trader -Trapper, Columbus o.
 'T visited these ranches and secured a number of extra fine pelts: among them was one that was considered one of the finest silver foxes that had ever been seen here. While the Alaska and Yukon wild silver foxes are giants in comparison with others. this one was unusually large. heavily furred and beautifully marked. The silver fox pelt is most highly prized of all Alas ka and Yukon furs.''

QUICKSILVER PRODUCED
 IN THE UNITED STATES

According to F. L. Ransome, of the United States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior, produceds in the United States reported for the period July l to September 30, inclu- sive, total output of 5,207 f1asks of quicksilver, of 75 pounds net each. It is estimated that three or four small operators in California and two or three in Nevada, from whom no re- turns have yet been received, may have produced from 10 to 20 f1asks, and that it will be sufficiently accu- rate, pending final figures for the en- tire year to consider the total pro- duction for the third quarter as 5.225 f1aSks. This is an increase of 1,2S5 faSlxs as compared with the second quarter, or about 32 per cent. The to- tai production in 1918 was S2.SS3 1asks. As the production for the first three quarters of 1919 has been only 15125 fasks. if the total for the year is to equal that of 1918, the output for for the fourth quarter will have to amount to 17,758 flasks. This is far beyond any reason able expectation, and the outlook at present indicates that the total production for 1919 will be about 10000 fasks. Sixteen mines were reported as productive during the third quarter, or the same num- CSL as II! lHe seconu quarter- UT the 6,207 faslls reported, 3,903 fasks were produced in California. 1909 in Tex as T in Nevada, and 24 in Oregon.
 Quicksilver reported on hand at the mines or in transit to market at the end of the quarter amounted to 2195 fasl1s, as against 1885 fasks at the end of the second quarter and 2.S00 flasks at the end of the first quarter.
 The average monthly prices of quicksilver in San Francisco for the first nine months of 1919 as quoted in the ming and Scientific Press were as follows.
