WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - One
of the current mysteries of diplo-
matte gossip here is the disposition
of the increasing exports of anti
mony from China. Antimony is
best-known in this country for its
use in linotype slugs, battery plates
and as a component of metal bear
ings. To munition makers, how
ever, it is serviceable as hardener
lead in, bullets-hence the interna-
tional interest.
The United States normally is
the largest consumer of antimony,
but industrial depression imports
sluinped from about 1900 tons in
1929 to less than 1000 in the first
10 months of 1882.
Chinese total exports, however,
despite world depression, climbed
from $3.50 tons in 10 months of
1881 to $3.50 tons in 10 months of
1882. Trade figures showed Chin
ese shipments to Japan in 1882
about equal to those in 1881. Ship
mentS to Great Britain doubled,
but that market sometimes imports
for re-eXport.
Military attaches are perplexed.

entered the room than all the
talking, laughing and giggling

Longears, twinkling his pink nose.

know the harVeSt-men IN Amer
lea.
The crane fly has been spoken Of as
the giant mosquito, and he does not
look unlike this pest, but on very
much larger scale. The long, narrow
wings are generally clear, but often you
find some of them beautifully marked
and spotted
There are more than 100000 species
known, and about 800 of them are
found In the United States. You will
find swarms of the adult flies in la,H
Summer. Great hocks of them may be
seen swarming. about sundoWn, over
) meadows, pastures and entrances to
woods.
The young are to be found in the
mass of dead leaves, reeds and decaying
matter that is present in streams of
slowly moving water. The cylindrical,
rusty brown infants of one species
known as Bittacmorpha, which look so
much like the decaying matter about
them cling to the grass stems. These
brown fellows wax fat on diatoms they
find floating in the water about them.
At the tip of the body there is a long
respiratory tube, with two pairs Of
breathing holes at the end.
Along in March the young crane flies
burst their brown skins and the plump,
white pupea, second stage of growth, be-
gins. BY April they are adults and
ready to fly about in search of mates.
So far, no one has observed the num-
ber Of eggs laid or Matched.
We know that the giant crane ny,
which we see so often trying to get in
or out of window and battering itself
almost to pieces in the effort to get
free, is to be seen wherever there is
decaying matter near mud. over moist
lawns and near streams Eggs are laid
in water on decayed plants and some
times among the roots of grasses.
The infants are worm-like. about l
inch long and cylindrical and leathery
in appearance. They find their food on
the muddy bottom Of the stream. When
about l inch long, each changes into
the chysalis state and rests for one
week. 1t then works its way to the
surface and, with the aid of efficient
bristles on the posterior end of each
segment, it reaches a place on which
to steady itself. The skin splits down
the back, the crumpled wings are drawn
out of the leathery coat and the hand
some winged adult steps out Of his snug
garment.

The Old Gardener Says:

If the garden maker IS very
busy, and especially if the season
be dry, it is sometimes possible to
reduce the amount of cultivation
required by young plants and at
the same time smother out the
weeds by using a mulch of peat
moss, lawn clippings, hay or
strawy manure. If a litter OF
this sort is piled around the
plants, it will keep the moisture
IN the ground and prevent the
weeds from coming up. This
plan is often followed to advan-
tage with bush fruits like cur
rants, gooseberries and raspber-
ries. OF late a mulching paper
has been introduced. 1t Is held
in place between the rows with
earth, stones or wire. This paper
keeps the ground warm. prevents
weed growth and does away with
much cultivation.
