so forth -he forbade the Importation

the conclusion that canes, whips and

find that, in 1912, there were several

there is not a single manufacturer of
walking sticks or whips in the state,
and only one manufacturer of um-

NATURE'S ACROBAT.
Th4 weasel has been called the acro-
bat of Nature. It performs every kind
of acrobatic feat. It does not, how-
eV�r, perform werely for the pleasure
to be obtained from the performance,
nor yet to give pleasure to others.
There is a far more deadly purpose
behind its somersaults. The weasel
adopts the method of approaching its
victims by turning over and over, with
a view to aftacking them. It does not
attempt to hide itself from its prey,
but gradually, performing all the time,
approaches nearer and still nearei
until within striking distance of RE
,unsuspecting prey. The blood-thirst3

i'MOUGH. COAL IN
CHINA TO SUPPLY
WORLD FOR YEARS
�ould Keep the Hurnan Race
In Fuel for Many Centuries
The discontented British miners
,vould do well to read, mark, learn and
mwardly digest the fact that France

Iroin the Chinese government. This
deal' synchronizes with the advice

ping lines to burn coal from the Trans-
vaal mines, and is an indication of the
trend of things incident to the ex-
Drbitant demands of LabOr. China's
coal supply is practically inexhaust-
Ibleand is virtually untouched. She
has enough good coal to Supply the
whole human race at its present con-
sumption of a billion tons a year for
a thousand years. The coal -bearing
areas of China have been estimated at
more than 200,000 square miles -a ter-
ritory twenty-five times the size of
Wales, and it is a remarkable fact
that, instead of being limited to a few
favored districts, this vast supply of
coal Is found all over the Empire and
in every province.
ANCHORED ISLANDS.
It would be a great convenience if
a few well -rooted islands were scat-
tered about the North Atlantic, as well
as In other frequented seas, in places
where nature unfortunately has pro-
- ided no landing spots In wide wastes
vi
of water. James M. Roberts, of St.
Joseph, Mo., proposes to make good
this deficiency by planting in appropri-
ate oceanic localities what might be
called artificial atolls, inasmuch as
they will be ring-shaped, like the
South Pacific Islands so named. The
artificial atoll will be in effect a mid -
ocean station for ships and aircraft.
Held permanently in place by great
steel cablesand huge anchors, itwillbe
sufficiently large to provide docks and
drydocks for vessels, landing fields for
aqroplanes and balloons, repair shops,
storehouses for supplies and other
conveniences. The great volume of
water Inclosed within the island ring
will lend Inertia to the latter, making
It practically immovable by wind and
waves, and thereby lessening the
strqln an the anchor cables. But the
inclosed water space will find its most
important usefulness as a harbor.
FACING HIGH TEMPERATURES.
Few people know who has to face
the highest temperature ever devised
by human agents. It is the man who
makes calcium carbide, that greyish
substance which is used in thousands
of cycle anti motor lamps to generate
acetylene. Carbide Is composed of a
mixture of lime and coal, The two
substances are placed in an electric
furnace, and a temperature of over
5,400 degrees F. is generated. That
is over 2,000 degrees more than is
necessary to melt copper, iron or
platinum. It requires 3,000 horse-
power of electrical energy to obtain
the necessary degree of heat in the
furnace. Tapping the furnace and
pouring off the molten carbide Is a
warm Job. The workmen ne�d as-
bestos clothing and strong masks to
protect them from the tremendous
heat and glare.
1 AN ISLAND FOR ARTISTS,
t
I Writers, artists and musicians are
7 to have a little kingdom of their own.
- The Islet of Comacina in the Lake of
) Como, was bequeathed by Signor
D Augusto Caprani, who died in 1919, to
V" the King of the Belgians as a testi-
a mony of his admiration of the heroic
e conduct of Belgium during the war.
r King Albert, in his turn, has made it
a over to the Italian Government (says
s the Athenaeum) on condition that It is
a made a place of residence for artists
I- of every kind. The Italian Ministry
i- of Fine Arts is to build little villas,,
ll One of which will be reserved for Bel-
t, glans. There will be halls for exhibi-
I- tions and recitals, and It is hoped that,
,e the island will be ready for occupation
by the coming spring.
