uses of copper have been launched,
with the result that hundreds of
tons of copper are now used in
place of other metals, especially in
construction work.
TAKING PLACE OF IRON
"Where once iron pipes were
used brass now is employed, not
only because of its rust resisting
qualities, but because it is more
malleable. Cutters, roofs, drains,
all made of copper, are now quite
common. The electrical industry
always has been a constant user
of copper, perhaps the largest of
all, and this is constantly increas-
ing.
"The absorption OF the two and
a half billion pounds Of copper
left over from the war now is
nearly complete, and of course
this means that copper is looking
up" so to speak. At present,
mines throughout the United
States are operating at about rs
per cent of normal and this has
been true for some time past"
Mr.. Douglas, who was head of
the Ell Paso and Southwestern rail-
road system before it merged with
the Southern Pacific, now is a
director of the later road. In this
capacity he also spoke optimisti-
cally of the railway situation, es-
pecially as it affects his own road.
The Walter Douglas referred to
above, president of the Phelps
Dodge corporation, is a son of
Doctor James Douglas, the noted
and widely known geologist, me-
Itallurgist and mining engineer,
known well in Arizona and the
southwest. Through more than
thirty years Doctor Douglas direc-
ted copper mining end Of the
great Phelps-Dodge Corporation.
During more than fifteen years,
and to the time Of his death of ex-
treme age, about 1919, he was
president of that extensive con-
cern.
Apropos of the late Doctor
Douglas it seems opposite to re
mark that he was frequent visi-
tor at Nogales, between 1905 and
1912, en- route to the south end of
the Patagonia mountains, to make
examination of mines and pros
poets in immediate vicinity of
properties of "The Kino Copper
Company" and the Dusquesne
Mining & Reduction Company.
In the face of almost superhu-
man skepticism among his hackers
and associates Doctor Douglas
brought in great copper mines at
Bisbee and Nacosari, assisting ma
terially, also, in bringing in the
big copper mines at Globe, Miami
and Cananea, establishing thereby
gilt edged reputation primarily
and essentially as a geologist and
conper mining exnert. While
travelling to and from the Pata-
gonia mountains Doctor Douglas
expressed. frequently a strong lik-
ing for the southern end Of that
range as mining field worthy of
development, and recognized the

During the war, the greatest de-

was created by munitions manufac-
turers. Even after the armistice, a
certain demand was noticeable.
But soon it was found that some
two and a half billion pounds of
copper was left over and reclaim

Mystery Attached TO
Lost Cities of World

There is always fascination at
tached to stories of lost and aban-
doned cities. The East has many such
places, once teeming with life-now
the abiding place of lions, monkeys,
snakes and jackals. Tor instance, the
holy city of the Buddhists, Baraboe-
door, in Java, had been forgotten for
600 years when Sir Stamford Raffies
rediscovered 1t and It's wonderful tenn
pie, the eighth wonder of the world.
The jungle of Slam has hidden its an
cient capital, Ayuthia, for four CEN
turtles. It's inhabitants fed before the
conquering Burmese, and never re-
turned. 1t is now said TO be the Turk
Ing place of thousands of enormous
snakes. Mystery surrounds the dead
city of Tibet, which Captain Rawling
discovered. 1t is a vast collection of
palaces, mOnasteries, and dwelling
houses, but the Tibetans professed ig-
norance of Its existence, and also Of
the reason for Its abandonment. Five
centuries ago Angkor had popula-
ton of three-quarters of q million. To-
day 1t is the Dead City of Cambodla.
The carved stone elephants, the i'm
mense causeways, the majestic tenn
pies still remain, but the jungle has
invaded the streets and squares.

Explaining "Gringo"

G. f. Weeks inclines to the view that
"Gringo" was derived from the word
Greek" He says: "When English
speaking people began coming into
Mexico they found the people with
whom they came in contact unable
to understand their language, just as
they themselves were unable to I'M
derstand that of the Mexicans. When
addressed by native quite naturally
they used the familiar expression,
THAT Is all Greek to me-" The word
Greek in Spanish is 'Griego" (pro-
nounced Gree-aye-go), and what more
natural than that the Mexicans, hear
ing this word used so much, came to
speak Of the foreigners as "Gree-aye-
goes" which easily enough became
corrupted into "grlngoes." This ex-
preston was heard wherever English
speaking foreigners were encountered.

Mouth Organ Really
Old Musical Device

The probable ancestor Of the mouth
organ was the Greek syrinx, one Of
the most ancient of musical instru-
ments. II was formed of a number
Of short hollow reeds Of graduated
lengths, fixed together by wax. The
lower ends were closed and the upper
ones open and on level, so that the
lips could pass from one to another.
The modern mouth organ is the inven-
ton of Christian Messner, of Tros-
singer. Wurtemburg, Germany, about
the year 1880. The factory that he
founded still gives employment to
5000 workers, not counting 5000 home
workers In the town. Messner got the
idea after buying a childs trumpet
at a fair, to place a number of trum-
pets side by side, each giving a diff
ferent sound. He produced a piece
Of wood with breathing holes in 1t, to
which was fixed a lead plate with
brass tongues.
From Trossingen the industry spread
to other places In Germany, notably
World war attempts were made by
other countries, such as Japan and
the United States, to gain a footing
in this industry, but Germany soon re-
covered her trade. Skilled workers,
cheap production and an old estab-
lished industry give the German fac
tories the advantage.

Plant That Changes
Its Location at Will

To those who have made 1t a study.
plant life teens with wonders. Take,
for example, the Loranthus, species
Of mistletoe. If this plant finds itself in
a situation unfavorable to its growth,
it will throw out a root by which it Is
enabled to move to another site, the
means Of Iocomotion being fattened
disc that acts as a sort of foot. The
moving process Is repeated until sat
isfactory position for development has
been found.
Another plant, the Clusia, lodges its
seeds in the branches Of tree, whence
the roots grow downward and strike in
the soil. From these suspended roots
branches grow on all sides, until the
tree by which they are supported be-
comes literally suffocated. These and
other queer happenings in plant life
are related in "The New Book OF
Gardening"

manner; but he should never be
