14,574 pounds, valued at $4,443,381,
I compared with 1,346,877 pounds,
Slued at $80,756, in the correspond
ik period a year ago.
Figures compiled by the bureau of
irelgn and domestic commerce of tho
kpartmont of commerce show that
o exports of domestic zinc in the
irm of pigs, ingots, bars, etc., in the
1st three months exceeded the total
sr the seven-year period which ended
hth June, 1914. In the last four fis
tl years, zinc exports have averaged
.800,000 pounds per annum. In
S97, the former high-record year In
ports of zinc, the total was 35,869,
87 pounds. That figure, however,
ias surpassed by the single month of
September last, with an export total
If 38,090,144 pounds of zinc pigs, in-
rts, etc.
Tho unusually large exports of zinc
n recent months were sent chiefly to
jpurope. In September, when the ex
torts of zinc pigs, etc., rose to the
jighest point ever known, 28 million
jfminds were sent to Kngland three
Ihillion pounds each to Scotland and
france, and one-third million pounds
sarh to Denmark and Italy, while one
tnd one-four million pounds went to
BrltiRh Africa, and a quarter million
tounris to Australia.
This exportation of 5,504,571
founds of zinc pigs, bars, etc., in the
piree months which ended with Octo
ber represents about 10 per cent of
I he annual domestic product which in
512 amounted to 647,814,000 pounds.
International trade in zinc, which
xceeds $75,000,000 annually. Is large
fy centered in Europe. Statistics pub
lished In "Commercial Relations of the
t'nlted States" for 1912 reveal the fact
jhat Belgium exports annually crude
line valued at 23 million dollars;
Germany, 17 million; the Netherlands,
Hunt million; France, eight million;
Italy, four million; the United King
dom, one and one-half million; and
the United States, prior to the current
iear ,nhout one million dollars' worth.
a'he United Kingdom is the world's
(rhlef Importer of zinc, the total im
forts of that article in 1913 having
been valued at 21 million dollars, con
tistlng chiefly of crude zinc, and al
most wholly locally consumed. Into

San Francisco, Dec. 4. I. H.
Dunlap, "chief clerk of the United
States bureau of fisheries, Washing
ton, D. has arrived in San Fran
Cisco for the purpose of making the
preliminary arrangements for" the
United States government fisheries
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Inter
national exposition. The bureau has
taken 10,000 square feet of space In
the palace of food products.
Thirty aquarium tanks are to be
Installed besides three pools. Two of
the pools are oblong, 8 feet by 12,
and the other is 18 feet square. These
pools are designed for the larger
specimens. Two five year old fur
seals, an entirely different variety
from the common harbor, or hair
seal, will inhabit the. large tank,
These seals were captured on the
Pribylof Islands and are now In
Washington, D. C, They are the old
est seals of the variety in captivity.
Approximately one-half of the
tanks will be devoted to salt water
specimens and the remainder to fresh
water varieties. A special car will be
sent out from Washington to bring
the eastern specimens to the coast.
These will Include the fish of the
Great Lakes and of the Mississippi
valley. Lobsters, Atlantic salmon
Scotch sea trout, white fish, pike
perch and all varieties of trout, in
eluding the Loch . Levin and eastern
brook will be among the numbers. A
large number of ornamental fish will
also be shown, the golden and green
tench, the golden lde and the va
rietles of gold fish will delight those
who care for the odd and beautiful
in fishes.
Muskalonge, sturgeon all varieties
of salmon and the wonderful and
beautiful golden trout, found only in
Volcano creek In the Sierras and
never Bhown In captivity, will be
found in the different aquarium
tanks. Marine specimens collected in
the Pacific waters all the way rrom
Catallna to Puget sound and a com
plete display of commercial fish of
the west coast form other details of
the exhibit. A fish distributing car,
the property of the government, will
be in commission during the entire
period of the exposition for the pur
pose of renewing the supply of spec
imens. Tho car was especially built
for the purpose and contains aerat
ing pumps, tanks and apparatus.
Hatching apparatus, showing all
kinds of fish hatcheries In operation,
troughs for trout and salmon, bat
teries of Jars for the hatching of
white fish, tables of jars for shad
tidal boxes for cod, together with all
apparatus used in the rearing and
distribution of fish will be displayed.
A series of tanks showing the de
velopment of the fish from the eggs
comprises one of the most interesting
educational features of the exhibit.
Modela of research vessels and of
flBh ways show how the work of the
bureau is prosecuted. The develop
ment of the sponge fisheries Is shown
by models and specimens of foreign
and domestic sponges in all stageaof
growth. Artificial propagation of
sponges will be demonstrated. Oyster
culture comes in for Its share of at
tention and a aerlrs of specimens
taken from the Atlantic and from the
Atlantic oyster beds of tht Pacific
coast will be of unusual interest, ow
Ing to the wide difference in the de
velopment and growth. The native
California oyster is Wall and the
Atlantic oyster will grow in the Pa
cific waters but will not breed here,
Models of artificially planted beds
will be shown.
A series of molluscs and crusta
ceans, Including freak water moi-
luscs from which pearl buttons are
made, comprises a section of the ex
hibit. These will be brought from the
Mississippi valley, where the Industry
flourishes.
A very complete collection of
sclentlflo apparatus for deep sea and
other research. Including deep sea
sounding and dredging will be die
played.
Chief Clerk Dunlap will return to
Washington as soon aa the prelimin
ary arrangements for the Installation
of the exhibit are completed. He will
visit the coast again when the time
arrives for the Installation, which
will be In charge of experts and en
glneere from the government fish

Fifteenth and Last Installment
Will Solve Many Problems
of the Story.
The patrons of the Galax theater
who have followed the events of the
Trey o' Hearts serial will learn with
regret that the fifteenth episode
which will be shown tomorrow, un
der the title of, "The Last Trump,'
Is the final Installment. It is Bald that
tomorrow's episode will answer the
many questions that are naturally in
the minds of the patrons regarding
the disposal of the different charac
ters and the outcome of the romance
which has featured the story from
the beginning. The problems that
will be solved are: "Whom does Allan
marry, Rose or Judith?" "What be
comes of the other?" "What becomes
of Trine?" "Does he succeed In his
vengeance?" "What is 'The Last
Trump?' The Deadly Trey o' Hearts
or the everlasting symbol of love and
happiness, the White Rose?" Miss
Cleo Madison and George Larkln
have won the admiration by their
work and no doubt many will regret
the expiration of their weekly ap

The management announces that
new and bigger serial than has yet

ing favorite. The title and date oil
the hew serial will be announced in
