FEW CANARIES COMING HERE
Blocknflo of German Ports Kccpi Birds In
Fnthcrlumi
Thoso who miy have hnti under the lm
piesslon that canary birds Imported Into this
country come from tho Canary Islands will suf
fer a sovoro disillusionment at this tlmo, es
pecially If tho family thinks that a canary bird
Is ntedpd. and someone pmcreds to "buy" a
ennnry. Tho fact Is, that In times of p-aco ca
nary birds come from the Hnrtz Mountains, In
Germany, where they aro bred by the peas
ants In garrets and spare rooms of their cot-'
tages. One Now York firm alone imports
100,000 canaries annually.
At present no canaries can be bought In tho
bird stores becauso of the blockade of German
ports. Ordinarily, these birds sell for ."3 to $50
per dozen. Tha Individual bird Is sold on his
merits, ns Indicated by his Iook3 nnd his voice.
The female enqary Is a poor singer and sells
for half tho price of tho mule. Tho birds sing
best between tho nges of a half-year and six
years. Frequently they live to be 12 years old.
The bird dealers also suffer from lack of
cages for other blrd.i. The canaries arp shipped
In individual wooden cages mado in Germany
nnd nro sent In lots of 100 to BOO. Theso birds
have to be fed dally on canary seed and hard
boiled eggs as well ns given fresh water. A
skilled attendant has to accompany them on
tho voyage, and frequently a young peasant
cams his traveling expenses to this country In
that manner.

SOME SHORTHAND BLUNDERS
Many Mistakes Due To Use of Wrong Vowels
A volume could be filled with amusing stories
of shorthand mistakes, the greater number of
them due to mistaken vowels. For Instance,
"This day Is big with fate" was transcribed
"This day is big with fat," whllo "Do not
Indulge In spite" camo out "Do not indulge
In spit," and "A house of many gables" was
transcribed into "A house of many gnbbles."
The use of tho wrong vowel may have tho
mon nmuslng result, ns In the phrase, "Man
know thyself," which was once converted In
tho report of n sermon Into "Man. gnaw thy
self." To misplace a vowol Is In shorthand tho
easiest thing In the world. T. A. Reed, tha
well-known reporter, tells of a pupil who by
this means turned "mighty acts" Into "mighty
cats," and nnothor loport of a sermon was
spoiled by tho ndvlce, "Return a blow with an
ax." instead of "a kiss."
Tho reporting style, in which the vowels are
omitted altogether for tho sake of rapidity. Is
responsible for the famous American story of
the shorthand clerk who took down a note
of his wtfo's Instruction to "bo sura to re
member to bring home some castile soap." and,
ns a result, returned home with a tin of oxtail
soup! London Strand Magazine.
QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION
Slight Decrease Shown In World's Aggregate
Last Year
The quicksilver production of the world dur
ing 1913 Is estimated at 4171 metric tons, against
4262 tons In 1912 nnd 40S3 tons in 1M1. Tho
countries of production last year were: United
States, 6S8 tons; Austria-Hungary. S,"3 tons; It
aly. 9SS tons; Spain. 1490 tons; Mexico and
others, 150 tons. Thes' flsures were gathered
by the United States Geological Survey.
Quicksilver Is used mainly in the manufacture
of fulminate for explosive caps, of drugs, of
electric appliances and scientific apparatus, and
In the recovery of precious metals, especially
gold, by amalgamation. A new uso in Scotland
is the floating of lights of lighthouses upon a
body of quicksilver. A uso in England, in tho
United States and possibly elsewhere. Is the
coating of ships' bottoms with a paint contain
ing quicksilver to prevent organic growth. Mer
curic oxide (red oxide of mercuiy) Is tho ac
tive poison In antl-foullng paint successfully
used on ships' bottoms. Tho metal appears to
bo little employed In silvering mirrors, as ni
trate of silver Is now chiefly used for the pur
pose. Increasing use of quicksilver is probably
to be expected In tho manufacture of electrical
nppllnnces and of fulminates, nnd tossibly of
pilnts for protective coatings on metals.
Tho demand for quicksilver for amalgamating
gold and sliver has greatly decreased, ns Is well
known, wl'h tho decreased supply of free mill
ing ores nnd tho Increased application of cynnl
dntlon to gold and silver ores. Industrial chem
istry nnd inventive genius nro to bo looked to
for Increasing tho demand.
