CHINA'S LEAD MINES.

llnsp Ar Llnwri1.
It is often said that tea eheits are
lined with tinfoil, but just as there is no
lenl in a lead pencil so there Is no tin In
this tinfoil. The thin lining consist ot
leld, and is said to be the purest lead
that can be found. Among the countless
undeveloped resources of the Celestial
Empire is a supply of load which would
yield millions annually if properly
Worked, and from this inexhaustible
supply the Chinese take what they need
for making linings for the tea ohests.
Lead Isjmoltedln small vessels and poured
in while hot Before It has time to cool
it Is pressed Into a sort of mould, aud
when enough squares have been produced
they are soldered together, ami the sheet
thus formed Is placed in the chest as a
lining.
Then the top layer of lead is soldered
on, and nil possibility of tho tea losing
strength on the voyugo is at an end. The
load Is so pure and the solder used is so
fine that tho lining of an empty chest is
worth much more than tho chest itself,
and Is In great demand for making the
best quality of solder. How the smooth,
tin-like appoaranco can be produced
without the aid of polishing or other
machinery would bo a mystery, were it
not for the fact that the native Chinaman
is even more industrious and ingenious
when at home than when be has spent a
few years In this country and begun to
entertain hopes of decent pay and reason
ablojbours. Ctn(ii.ffti of Moiln rn PiiMici
Surely I have established my thesis
ihat dirt Is only matter in a wrong place.
Chemistry, like a thrifty housewife,
economizes overy scrap. The horse-shoe
nails dropped in the streets aro carefully
collected, and reappear as swords and
suns. The main Ingredient of the ink
with which I now write was probably
once the broken hoop of an old beer bar
rel. The chipping of the travoling tlnkor
nro mixed with the parings of horses'
hoofs and the worst kind ot woollen rags,
and these are worked up intoan exquisite
blue dye, which graces the dress of
courtly dames. The dregs of port wine,
caroiuuy uecnnipu uy tno toper, nro
taken in tho morning as a seidlltz pow
der, to remove the effect ot the debauch.
The offal of the streets and the wasting
of coal gas reappear, oarofully preserved
in the lady's smelling bottle, or are u&ed
by her to llavor bln.no nvwigjs for her
friends. All this thrift of material Is an
imitation ot the economy of nature,
which allows no waste. Everything has
Its destined placo In the proojss of the
universe, in which thero is uot a blado of
grass or even a microba too much, if we
possessed the knowledge to apply them to
their fittinE purposes. Lyon Playfalr.

THEY UNDERSTOOD EACH OTHER.
The Cunnrdor Captains Wrrn Satisfied that
tlm llmlirln Could Make New York.
London, Jan. 3. On tho arrival nt
Liverpool of tho Canard line steamer
(Inllla, Capt. Ferguson, from Now York,
Deo. 24, for Liverpool, a press representa
tive nt once boarded the steamer and
questioned Capt. Ferguson In rrlation to
tho report that he had refused assistance
to the Umbrla.
Cflpt. Ferguson said that he would de
cline to make any statement until he had
communicated with the headquarters
tno uunaru company.
Both Captain Ferguson and his officers
and the passengers on the Qallia were de
lighted to loarn that tho Umbria had
arrived safely, nlthough they seem to
have bnd no serious doubt on that score.
At the Cuuard company's olllce It was
said, after Captain Ferguson's report had
been received, that tho Umbrla did not
signal to the Gallia to stand by to save
life, nnd that, therefore, the Qallia pro
ceeded on her voyage.
There is a growing impression in tho
minds of the public that tho Qnllia and
the TJnibria understood each other aud
that the Umbria meant that its signals
should ho Interpreted and acted upon just
ns they were interpreted by the Gallia,
tho commanders of both vessels being
satisfied that tho Umbrla could make its
way to Now York unaided and in Bttfoty.
Tho ofllcinls of the Cuuard line, from
the beginning, placed no contldeuco iu
the story that the Gallia refused as
sistance to the Umbria. They all along
regarded the alleged refusal to bo based
on tho imagination, of some of the pas
sengers. They pointed out that It would tend
greatly to the advantage of the captain ot
the Gallia to tow the Umbria to New
York, and that it was just possible that
the signals of tho Umbria were mistaken.
