In that little globe that cost you 20 or 30 cents there's antimony from Mexico, thoria from Brazil, niter and silica from Chile, cobalt co-balt and nickel from New Caledonia, bismuth from Australia, tin from the Malay Peninsula, manganese from India, potash from Russia, sodium; carbonate from East Africa, arsenic from Greenland Green-land and so it goes down a long similar list of items..
