SOME UI Tie uIvst battling bIts
- of magic are the easiest per
formed-when you learn the Sc
cret- The ring and the string
trick described here 10 Just such
m example Of the co~njurer's skill.
The amateur magician requests
some member of his audience to
tie his two wrists together With a
piece Of string long enough to
permit him to hold his arms about
two feet apart. Next the con-
jurer asks one Of his friends to
lend him a ring. He then tells
his audience that he will put the
ring on the string without untying
his wrists. This seems impossible
for there are no loose ends of the
string. Nevertheless. the magician
accomplishes what seems to be inn
possible by proceeding as follows:
First he pulls o loop of the
string through the ring. Next he
passes the loop over the ring and
opens his arms to pull this string
taut- This action attaches the
ring to the string. as shown In
the illustration.

A HUNGRY fox. while roaming the countryside in search Of a meal.
a came upon a large goose-pen enclosed with two high circular
fences as pictured In the drawing. The gate Of the outer fence stood
invitingly open. Seeing the plump geese in the centre enclosure the
fox at once entered and started to encircle the inner pen. looking for a
chance to seize a meal.
The fox made the complete circle until it came to the outer gate
which barred further progress. Then the animal, noted for its cunning,
did q very strange thing which resulted in shutting Of. its escape.
Can you figure out just what the fox did to trap itself, thus

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. Is R)-Big receipts
OF corn together with prospects of ad-
ditional large arrivals on Monday, sent
the corn market heavily downward to-
day and dragged wheat along. Corn
to the amount of $2,309,0OO bushels
reached primary centers today, com
pared with only 100000 bushels a week
back.
Closing quotations on corn were
unsettled, 5s@Ac to 1c net lower, with
wheat 5Sc to 1c off, oats unchanged
to Ac down, and provisions unchanged
to &c up.
Favorable weather for corn move
ment gave an advantage almost from
the beginning today to speculative
sellers in the corn market. Many own
ers of future delivery contracts We:e
letting go of their holdings, and mean
while excessive offerings of low grace
corn to be delivered at once acted as
weight on the market as whole.
Corn export business was small.
Under such circumstances, rallying
power failed to develop any lasting
quality and the finish was but little
above the days bottom level. Oats
displayed relatively firm undertone,
as a result of scattered commission
house buying .,sx .a@
Wheat sympathized with corn toward
the last, but earlier the wheat market
tended upward on account of cold
weather over domestic winter wheat
territory However, higher tempera-
lures were in prospect. Corn experts
contended, too, that the seeded acre
age is so large that damage would
have to be extensive to prove itself q
deciding market influence. Declines
which ensued were in the face Of adj
vices that the Australian wheat visible
supply showed further decrease, and
is now only 100000 bushels, against
9O,000,OO0 bushels a year ago.

not as great as the German copper
mines produced 80 per cent less cop
per then than they do now These
figures were given by E. Simon, di-
rector of Meta1lgesellscha Frankfurt,
Germany.
1t is evident that there is an appre-
citation on the part OF the producers
as to the condition Of over production
but it does not reflect in the produc-
ton figures on lead and zinc as it
does in copper. The January copper
production dropped off while lead and
zinc production increased slightly.
The January production of copper
in North and South America totaled
116,245 tons as against 1858 tons in
December. The lead production in
the United States and Mexico in
creased from 77,217 tons in December
to 77,316 tons in January. The zinc
production increased from 52,347 tons
in December to 52,414 tons in Janu-
ary. 6SH.a sfV UlG
The world production of copper also
dropped materially in January as it,
was 145,500 tons in January and
$4,000 tons in December. While there
was some drop in the production
from Chile, Peru and Belgian Congo,
the United States has taken the brunt
of the production --cut which, for
January is about 5000 tons below the
average monthly production during the
past year. The world daily rate of
production during January was 45S4
tons as against 1905 for December and
4543 average for 1927.
Copper is a far easier metal to con-
troll in production than either lead or
zinc, as copper is produced from COM
paratively few large capacity mines
while lead and zinc come. from very
large number of smaller producing
units and they cannot quickly react
to the market. In fact, about the
only way they do react is actual force
of circumstances, a lowering price
forcing them to cut down production
or STOP This system makes the pro-
duction cuts come too late to hold the
f-lels : .sI'v ,. ssssl
