THE UNDERWORLD Man is Now Exhausting These Re- sources at Rapid Rate. It is only within very reeent years that man has begun to draw largely upon the mineral resources of the earth. In the last fifteen year, he has mined more copper than was produced in all previous ages. In the last eleven. years he has drawn more petroleum from the earth's bowels than in all the years since the world began. Where other minerals axe concerned, the record is somewhat similar. But the misfortune Iies in the fact .that we are exhausting these resources with such rapidity that a few, centur- ies from now there may be compar- atively little of them left. ilikl'f'llri'll1111111 • 11111 t- lieTruth is sometimes... painful.

TOY PRODUCTION OUTPUT IN LAST 12 11IONTII DOUBLE THAT OF 1917' RAPID PROGRESS BY ROYALS iK S Total Resources Up 92 Millions in Year and 247 Millions' in Five Years. Industry Is Now Four Years Old and. Additional Avenues for Exten- Sion Are Open. Canadian toys manufactured in 1918. are estimated to be worth approxi- mately $800,000. Considerable pro- gress has been made by the thirty- five concerns making various lines o toy; during the last year. After ha lit niet the trying conditions prevail ing in the labor market during tai last twelve months, the Canadian firms feel that they are assured of permanent place in the Dominion' industrial life. The high wages whit workers were able to command i munitions plants made it difficult t hold labor. Such problems will not b as acute in the futpre, and with in creasing efficiency and a consequently enlarged production, it is believed tha a greater pleasure of success can b attained by the manufacturers of toys In the four wears through which the industry has passed there have been a number of concerns that have beet formed to make toys which were no operated on sound business prin ciples, but the percentage of failures would compare favorably with that of some other businesses that have been longer; established. There were six manufacturers who entered the toy- leaking field in 1918, and several which dropped out. The entire indus- try has passed through the initial stages of development, and some of the firms are provided with ample capital to make expansion as circum- stances make advisable. The output in the last twelve months is estimated to be 100 per cent, larger than in the prey tiding year, and a greater variety of products are being turned out. Difficulty in Getting Parts. The industry bas been confronted with many difficulties in its compar- atively brief existence. In sone other toy -producing countries, such as Great Britain or Germany, the manufacture of dolls, for example, is greatly simpli- fied by parts being secured from mak- ers who specialize in a single phase of the industry. Doll -makers have been assemblers rather than manufacturers. By such specialization enlarged vol- umes of production is possible, thus reducing costs. Such developments have not been entered upon fully in Canada yet. Eyes for dolls, for in- stance, are not made in the Dominion, but have to be secured from outside. Bisquo sand has' been discovered re- cently in Hastings county, and bisque dolls' heads are now being manufac- tured that are stated to be of fine quality, Similarly hair and other parts are now produced within the country. Foreign -Made Dolls Cost More. The making of dolls' clothing has been another problem for toy -makers to solve. The manufacture of stock- ings, shoes, etc., . demand special equipment, and `these articles have not been easily secured in the past. Low cost of imported toys bas been a feature that has given them a se- cure place in Canadian markets. Manufacturing costs have mounted rapidly during the .last four years. One German -made doll that formerly retailed in Canada at about $5.50 now is quoted by its manufacturers at about $12, according to information supplied by a Canadian officer who has been interned in Switzerland. Japanese toy -makers have made con- siderable strides in the last few years, and their wares are being placed on markets that were formerly dominated by European toys. The manufacture of wooden toys has been afield in which Canadians have excelled. Various „types of wheeled toys have been Made, with considerable success. White enamel- led wooden toys' are turned out in fairly large number, comprising doll carriages, beds, etc. Mechanical toys of improved workmanship are being produced. Steel construction o ruction toysare 1 Y beingmade in larger u l g quantities and in more varieties than was the case a year ago.: Fibre dolls, made of wood pulp, are' proving to' be quite attrac- tive. About one-third of the toys be- ing now b ing shown in the Dominion are made in Canada. Demands are being made by hardware and ° bicycle stores, as well as novelty, dry ,goods and depart- mental stores. Retail 'vendors are• much more numerous than in the past. Competing, With American Toys. American toys are the principal competitors which are met with in the home market. Imports from Ger largest prier . to. ther many"'were p • war, and since then the United States has occupied first :place. .Japan has:se- cured a growing portion of the Cana- dian trade. Imports of ,dolls and toys of all' kinds into Canada for the fiscal. year ending March, 1918, were valued f'. v-', a Growth from within supplemented h by purchases of other batiks Contin - uee to make the annual figures of the n Royal Bank of Canada impressive.

Cash steins as represented in coin, Dominion notes and cover for excess note issue in the Central Gold Re- serve have increased 18 millions, bringing the proportion to public lia- bilities under this head up to 17.1 per cent. against 16.4 per cent. a year ago and 17.8 per cent. two years ago.

Public deposits, which form the foundation for the bank's expansion, have increased 80 millions in the year, t this gain following one of 52 millions in 1917 and one of 55 millions in 1916. A considerable increase in note cir- culation and a moderate one in cur- rent loans and discounts are measures of the prosperity and activity of busi- ness in the territory served by the bank. BRITAIN CAPTURES TRADE, Key Industries, Formerly controlled by Germany, Secured by Engisnd.. The Key Industries Exhibition Izeld in London last month under the acs* piees of the Tariff Reform League is, a striking illustration of what Creat 1 3ritain kids accomplished drn4pg the war in mam1facturfng essential corn- aiiodities which had formerly been al- most completely controlled by Ger many, The object of the: exhibition was to present the facts clearly to the pubile. The term "key industry" is ai:plied to those industries which in them- selves are comparatively small, but are nevertheless of vital importance, since upon their existence that of other .and greater industries depends. A typical example is presented by dyes, The value of dyes, mainly Im- ported before the war from Germany, which were annually used iri British textiles and paper indpatries, was about $10,000,000; The annual output of these industries was valued at about $1,000,000,000, giving employ- meat to about 1,500,009 people. In, this case the "key" industry was about 1 per cent. of the main industry,or something like the proportion of a key to the door which it opens, Before thea war r i act ]I - Brit - WI ca al ....pit P } l fah internal combustion engines were equipped with magnetos made in Ger 1nany by the Bosch Company et Stutt- gart. This applied to airplanes, sub- marines and motor ears. lelagnetos which have been perfected and manu- factured 1n Great Britain during the War were shown at the exibibition, It will be readily realized that there is no desire to permit the magneto industry to slip bade to Germany. Great Britain has also developed the optical glass industry. Tungsten is the key to high speed steel' and nickel to armor plate. Another metal of vi- tal importance to the steel Industry is manganese. Lead, graphite, Apel - ter, rubber and antimony were other hey materials which were exhibited. The Key Industries Exhibition was an object lesson in pointing out Ger- many's former control of hey indus- tries essential to war atld the pro- gress toward complete independence which has been made in Great Britaiu during the war. DRIFTING MINES Danger Will Exist in Chief Ocean Currents for Many Months. It is stated that twenty-five mines were sighted by a steamer recently off the Atlantic coast. There will pro- bably be many floating alines for months to come and doubtless ;,once inarino accidents will result. Of course, measures will be taken to pick up and destroy these menaces to navi- gation, but it is almost impossible that all should -be found, and ship captains must run a certain degree of risk. After the Ptusso-Japanese war ships were sunk for a long time after the cessation of hostilities, as mines were carried out into the Pacific, some of them torn from their moorings and others being drifting mines. It is not known how many free mines the Ger- mans set afloat, but it is believed a great number were thus started forth on missions of destruction, l� ortunate- ly the trend of the currents in the North Sea is into the gulf stream, flowing toward Spitzbergen. There is a return current west of Iceland which might 'bring nines back by the Labra- dor current into the navigation zone between the gulf stream and the coasts of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and north-eastern United States, which is the principal steamer lane. Mines that chance to work their way through the English Channel might get down into the Canaries current, and so flow into the gulf stream from the south. 'Sere the curreet condi- ions otherwise than they are the danger from this source would be ex- tremely- grave. Mine sweeping must be continued With unremitting Bili- gence until the seas are made safe again.

A new sanitary;-driliking cup for the exclusive use of cows is now on the market, and its advantages are nu- ,merous. First, it is claimed that it will turn many an unprofitable cow into a profitable one by increasing her milk supply. It is obviously also a preventive of disease, and, as a labor saver for the farmer, there is no doubt concerning it. The cow actually controls the supply of water by lifting, or closing, the lid. of the foentain herself. When the lid is raised ise the supply:yalve is openoci and the drain outlet is closed, while lowering or closing the lid closes the supply valve and opens the drain out- let. No water remains in the cup, as it is at all times empty, except when the cow is actually drinking frora it. Each fountain is attached to the water pipe just the same as an ordin- ary cock or other plumbing fixture, and no separate or boat tank is re- quired. The cover also keeps hay and trash out of the water. Experiments have shown that a cow will refuse water that is stale and filthy with the miscellaneous debris of the barn in it, and, therefore, her milk supply suffers. This fountain is a stipnllant for her to drink large quantities of fresh, clean water. The modern dairyman cannot fail to appreciate the advantage of this cup and desire to have it installed in his barns. No up-to-date dairyman can afford to let his animals or business suffer for the sake of saving the original out lay in an investment which will prove mare and more profitable as time goes an. *fuard's, Ziaiment Curcio Colds, lac.

Collectors of rare books and manu- scripts will be interested -in the an- nouncement that a first edition of Shakespeare's works, published in 1623, was sold at auction in London a few weeks ago for 1,150 pounds sterl- ing. The volume is said to be in ex- cellent condition, though the binding is considerably worn. This costly book has increased in price by bounds. At the beginning of the eighteenth century the volume was bought for five pounds from a book dealer. In 1800 it was valued at fifty pounds, and in the year 1890 240. pounds was paid for it. This was a until 1899 when its value record price va e , again increased. The indications are that with the years the price of 1,150 pounds will again be advanced, as the value of the volume will be more and more enhanced as time passes. 4iiaard's Liniment Cusee Garget in Cbws A Natural Mistake.
