The charcoal-burner pursues his calling in the open air, and he works on an accepted formula handed down from earliest times through many generations. Green oak logs only »'ust be used, and those are all cut to the same size, and stacked to- gether in such a way as to form.a low, conically-shaped heap. This. is then covered with freshly cut turf, and set fire to; byt it needs constant watching and attention, for if combustion proceeds too quickly the smouldering pile may burst into flame, w the resultant product will be, of course, not charcoal, but ashes. Ordinarily if proper care be complete in about. twelve hours; after which the stack is left to cool for a few days before being opened. The breeding of ferrets lias been a village industry in England almost from time immeémorial, but the de- mand for the little ' creatures had greatly fallem off = during recent years. Now, However, owing to the insistent call for ferrets to kill the tats which swarm in the trenches in France and Flanders, the demand has jumped suddenly to far in excess of the supply, and prices have soared accordingly: ¥ For a sadly sufficient reason, and one that will be at once apparent to everybody, the fashion for jet orma- ments has been recently revived, | more especially in the English border! counties, with the result that a one- time flourishing Yorkshire village in- dustry bas been given a new lease of life.

In: 1913 the United States, Germany, and Belgium were the leading producers. of zinc. Of the three, only the United States smelted domestic ores. Bel- gium and Germany relied mainly on zinc concentrates that théy imported tron the Broken Hill mines in New South Wales, where, for one reason and another, it does not pay to do the smelting. France, Spain, and Great Britain aise produce substantial quantities, but not enough to supply their own needs.

CIVIL WAR PLOTS. Canada Has Her Own Record of Breaches. of Neutrality. In Great Britain and Canada-- and especially in the English press since the burning of the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa--ths United States has been criticized because of the long series of German plots hatched there. It has been pointed out by some American papers, how- ever, that during the American Civil id Canada was guilty of worse fail- u to enforce neutrality than any so far recorded in this war, and it is very interesting to recall the Bp The attack on St. Alban's, Ver- mont, a little town on the border, in adapted for dealing with the Broken | geize Hill concentrates it buys the bulk of its supplies from the United States. A -- A young R. E. officer, who {s not unknown in the motorcycle world, recently went home on five leave. Hearing that recruiting was very active in London, he slipped into mufti and promenaded the streets, hoping that some unsuspect- ing sergeant would recruit him.
