FEW CANARIES COMING HERE
DIockado of German Ports Keeps Birds In
Fatherland
Those who may have been under the im
pression that canary birds Imported Into this
country como from the Canary Islands will suf
fer u severe disillusionment at this time, es
pecially If tho family thinks that a canary bird
Is needed, and someone proceeds to "buy" a
canary. The fact Is, that in times of peace ca
nary birds come from the Hartz SIountulnH, In
Germany, where they nro bred by tho peas
ants In garrets nnd spare rooms of their cot-
i tnges. One New York firm alone Imports
100,000 canaries annually.
At present no canaries can bo bought In tho
bird stores because of tho blockade of German
ports. Ordinarily, these birds sell for $33 to $30
per dozen. Tho Individual bird Is sold on his
merits, as Indicated by his looks and hi voice.
The femule canary is a poor singer and sells
for half the price of tho male. The birds sing
best between the ages of n half-year and six
years. Frequently they llvo to bo 12 years old.
The bird rlenlera also suffer from lack of
cages for other birds. The canaries are shipped
In Individual wooden cages made In Germany
nnd are sent In lots of 100 to 500. These birds
havo to be fed daily on canary seed and hard
boiled eggs ns well as given fresh water. A
skilled attendant has to nccompany them on
the voyage nnd frequently a young peasant
earns his traveling expenses to thi3 country In
that manner.

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 40b3 tons In 1911. Tho
countries of production last year were: United
States, 6SS tons; Austria-Hungary, S33 tons; It
aly, OSS tons; Spain, 1490 tons; Slexico and
others, 150 tons. These figures wore 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 tho recovery of precious metals, especially
gold, by amalgamation. A new use in Scotland
Is the floating r.f lights of lighthouses upon a
body of quicksilver. A use In England, In the
United States and possibly elsewhere, is the
coating of ships' bottoms with a paint contain
ing quicksilver to prevent organic growth. Sler
curlc oxide (red oxide of mercury) Is the ac
tive poison In antl-foullng paint successfully
used on ships' bottoms. The metal appears to
be 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 the manufacture of electrical
appliances and of fulmlnateji, and tosslMy of
paints for protective coatings on metals.
The demand for quicksilver for amalgamating
gold and silver Una greatly decreased, as is well
known, with the decreased supply of free mill
ing ores nnd the Increased application of cyani
datlon to gold and silver ores. Industrial chem
istry and Inventlvo genius are to bo looked to
for Increasing the demand.
Helen Ware, star of "The Revolt." tho cur
rent attraction at the Adelphl Theatre, says
she once owned a pet Egyptian scarab, an In
sect resembling the cricket. "Above all things
else," said Sliss Ware, "the scarab Is noted for
its longevity, often living as long as 200 years.
Sly scarab died a year ago In Its Infancy it
I was only 100 years old. I had It for only three
years of its life. It was the most unique pet
I ever had, nnd I got terribly attached to It.
It lived In a little cage, and I fed It on sugar
water. Once I gave It sugar diluted In cham
pagne, and you should havo icon thnt beetle
It got quite tipsy. Its antics were tcnlbly fun
ny. Sometimes I wore tho scarab nttuchod to
a thin gold chain. I called It 'Amenoteph.' Tho
Egyptians userl to worship th fccarab, you
know. I adored my pet, and wept at its demise.
I'd thought of having a little tombstone made
over a tiny urn: but I lost the dead pet In trav
eling. On tho tombstone I would havo hud,
'Here lies Amenoteph, who died In his Infancy
he was only a hundicd." "
"Alas," sighed SIlss Ware, "If only the youth
of plays were no less brief!"
Getting Even
The teacher was telling the children a long,
highly embellished story nbout Santa Clans
nnd WIIIIp Jones began giggling with mirth,'
which finally got beyond his control
"Willie! What did I whip you for yester
day?" asked the teacher severely
"Fer lylrT!" promptly answered Willie.
Everybody's.

Count," presented last eenson at William A.
Bradv's New York Playhouse, one of the per
