THE DISTRIBUTION OF

SILVER

DEMAND FOR COINAGE.

The greater part of the silver mining output has been transhipped across the world for centuries. When the imagian tion is held by this enormous never ceasing stream of white metal flowing from West to East, & natural desire arises to trace the various stages of its journey from Anterica via London to the Far East. As the cost of transmitting metals increases in proportion to bulk and weight, the purer the form in which silver travels the cheaper is the expense of carriage. For this reason, silver is always smelted at the mine itself provided sufficient labour and fuel be available.

Refining also that final process which turns out practically fine metal is performed locally whenever possible. Some of the largest smelting plants have been set up in the United States, where in 1912 the production of silver amounted to 62,000,000 028., about one quarter of the world's production of 220,000,000 ozs. The larger and better equipped the plant the cheaper is the cost of this operation. Some mines, therefore, of Canada, and also of Mexico, find it more advantageous to send ore. amelted or otherwise for treatment at the huge refineries of the United States rather than to erect local plant

Electricity has been brought into use for refining during recent years, and by its means the quality of the silver refined has been raised to a remarkable degree It is not uncommon for electrolytically refined bars to run 2,997 or more parts fine in the 10,000. Silver after refining is melted, as a rule, into the form of what are styled bars, about 1,100 troy nances in weight, massive bricks nicosur ing 12 in long by wide by 4 deep. After their birth they to not grow bigger, but they do grow dirtier, and when they end their career as bars are disguised: practically from all but exports. Some years ago a bar was sent from London to Birmingham, packed in a stout box. It disappeared in transit, and the value was duly paid to the insured owner by the underwriters. A few months after- Wards some boys amused themselves in an alley in a poor part of Birmingham by turning over and attempting to throw about a dull, dirty mass of metal, which they took to bo lead. A passer-by asked them what they were playing with and the boys ultimately sold the so-called lead to the man for 18. It proved, after examination, to be the greater half of the silver bar, worth £140, which had been stolen-too awkward a morsel, apparent ly, for the thief to swallow.

London is the world's silver centre, where the greater part of the refined silver output of the globe is brought to market Here Governments, with the exception of those in the Americas obtain supplies they need for coinage. China and India have the most capacious appetities of all. The former country is peculiar in many of its ways, 80 one need not be surprised to hear that the chief currency is not. con, but shoes. Such is the name given to small ingots of silver werghing about 6lba troy. The metal has been melted into a form not unlike the shoe of Chinese lady, whose fout has been deformed by binding in accordance with Ancient custom..

4

Hitherto the system of government in China has not been favourable to a currency of coin minted under native Auspices. The obstacle has been that Chinese dynasties have delegated authority in a manner akin to that of the ancient Roman Emperors namely, procurators were set over distant portions of the Empire. The taxes were farmed; and the contractors collected what they could for themselves and

PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY BY GERMAN DOCTORS.

An interesting report by two American ladies on the now and painless method of childbirth, which has been developed in the medical clinic of the University of Baden, at Freiburg, appears in the June number of McClura's Magazine This with practically nuvarying success. It is method has now been used in 5,000 cases, claimed that not a single fatality to the mother can be charged against it, and that under it the rate of infant mortality has decreased. To those especially who have horgone the experience in the Freiburg hospital and elsewhere the experience. under the twilight sleep soens almost incredible like a fairy tale, as they mast often express it.

Then there is very serious trouble for you..

Liverishness is also much more common than most people imagine. For instance, faulty action of the liver gives rise to feelings of depression, it makes men and women feel miserable and unit for work, it gives them prostrating bilious attacks, headaches, and causes langour, sleepless- ness, and sometimes a blurred state of the vision. Liverishness is the enemy of cheerfulness, a kill-joy, a destroyer of mental efficiency and bodily vigour. If
