This country of oura possesses more
mineral wealth than any other nation,
though Oreat Britain (Including what
she controls) ts a close second.
We lead the world with 37 per cent
of all the Iron and 35 per cent of all
the coal. These, of course, are most
important. We own or control 72 per
cent of all the petroleum.
Copper is the great American metal.
We produce 69 per cent of the entire
world’s yield of that invaluable sub-
stance. Of lead we produce 49 per
cent and of zinc 32 per cent.
England Is away ahead of us where
gold Is concerned. We produce only 23
per cent of this precious stuff, where­
as Great Britain’s output amounts to
63 per cent.
On the other hand, we claim 52 per
cent of the silver—the Mexican out­
put being under our commercial con­
trol—and it Is actually In the power of
our government to make the market
price of the white metal whatever Un­
cle Sam chooses.
Of the world’s sulphur we produce
65 per cent. But we have no tin
worth mentioning (a serious misfor-
tone) and little potash. Now. how­
ever, the potash supply Is no longer
controlled by Germany, territory re­
cently relinquished to France contain­
ing a large part of the deposita of that
mineral salt.—Philadelphia Ledger.

ADOBE AS BUILDING MATERIAL
Experimenta Have Shown,
It
Claimed, Durability of This Old
and Inexpensive Material.
Adobe, the oldest known building
material In southern California, Is due
for a revival, according to John W,
Chard, Santa Barbara architect. He
asserts that if properly prepared this
native material can be used to very
considerably cut the cost of building.
"Experiments,” says Mr. Chard,
“have shown that adobe Is the least
affected by changes of temperature
among all the building materials. Tests
show that adobe bricks register no
more than six degrees difference be­
tween February cold and extreme Sep­
tember heat As a building material It
Is far stronger than Is generally sup­
posed, and develops a compressive
strength as high as 400 pounds to the :
square inch.
“The proper plaster protection will
insure an adobe wall against deteriora-
tion. Hard cement plaster thorough­
ly anchored Into the walls and treat­
ed with an all-mineral water-proofing
compound will give adobe walls great
durability.
“Adobe is wet soil mixed with
straw, cast Into molds of required size
and left to dry in the sun. As a build­
ing material adobe Is everlasting,
soundproof, nonconductive and fire-
proof, always of normal temperature,
